The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was Cas Liber (submissions) in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on Corona Borealis and Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus.
Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.
The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! Figureskatingfan (talk · contribs · email), Miyagawa (talk · contribs · email) and Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email) 16:58, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Oh, hullo. I was wondering if you could review either of these Summer Olympics articles: São Tomé and Príncipe at the 2004 Summer Olympics or Vanuatu at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Seeing as you crushed me and everyone else in the GA Cup, I hope you do review them! Good888 (talk) 14:15, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Per WP:IUP, using "upright=x" is recommended for anybody with difference preferences and/or not signed in. Must there be a reason for using ###px instead besides fair use? --George Ho (talk) 06:10, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Syphon Filter you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of AdrianGamer -- AdrianGamer (talk) 08:01, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Hello Jaguar. I have expanded the article Uyarndha Manithan and requested Pavanjandhyala as to who might copyedit the article. He recommended you for it. I see on your user page that you have conributed to Mayabazar (1957) and conducted GA reviews on many Indian films. Would you be interesting in copyediting this film? If so, please let me know. Thank you. Thamizhan1994 (Appo Pesu) 13:01, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
A gentle reminder on the requested copyedit. Thank you. Thamizhan1994 (Appo Pesu) 11:39, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
@Thamizhan1994: I have completed my copyedit of the article and done what I can for now. I didn't know anything to do with the content so I couldn't expand or ellaborate on some things in which I couldn't understand, so I stuck with revamping the prose in order to make it smoother and ready to meet the GA criteria. I would recommend expanding the critical reception section if possible as the article would have trouble meeting the broadness part of the criteria without more reviews. Don't worry if it's not possible as we can make do with what we got. I can help with the GA review if you like, so please let me know if I can help again in any way? JAGUAR 16:01, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jaguar, could you take a look on this article (hopefully if you are not so busy). =) I have done some copy-edit on it, but I believe it still need more especially when someone reporting it here. ~ Muffin Wizard ;) 06:39, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your successful copyedit on Uyarndha Manithan, which is now a GA. 16 Vayathinile is my next planned GA. Please do let e know if you would like to copyedit it. Thank you. Thamizhan1994 (Appo Pesu) 05:53, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
Ready to do the copyedit? It's noon now as per your timezone. :-) Thamizhan1994 (Appo Pesu) 12:14, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand. Why Massoud Keshmiri is orphan? Please tell me what is the solution. Thank you. Munifi3nt (talk) 03:42, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi. I made some links in different articles to Forghan group. Can I remove the orphan tag? Regards -- Rahpouyan110 (talk) 09:39, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Please remember that edits you do with the help of AWB are your responsibility and you are expected to look at each one before hitting "Save". In this edit you tagged as ((stub)) something which was obviously a redirect with a typo. It would have been much more useful to fix the typo. Just slow down a little and watch those edits. Thanks.

If you are ready for this GAC, can you review this? -The Herald (Benison) • the joy of the LORDmy strength 16:23, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
Hello, Jaguar! I'd like to invite you to comment at Wikipedia:Peer review/Chetro Ketl/archive1. I was planning to close it in a few days, but I haven't gotten enough input yet. So if you're interested and have the time, I'd appreciate your comments there. No worries if you're too busy. RO(talk) 20:11, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
I know you mean well but you know my opinion of tags. Bloody annoying. Nothing worse than a fresh new stub with several tags placed on it. If it's an orphan unorphan it.♦ Dr. Blofeld
Hi – just unorphaned DJ Cuppy, link from Femi Otedola. Thanks. HOgilvy (talk) 13:33, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 2nd GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Our inaugural competition, which ran from October 2014 to April 2015, was such a resounding success that we'd like to do it again. Currently, there are over 500 GANs ready to be reviewed; competitors in the previous GA Cup reviewed about 570 GAs, so we can again make a huge impact in helping editors improve articles in Wikipedia and decrease the traditionally long queue at GAN. The 2nd GA Cup will begin on July 1, 2015. As last time, five rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on November 28, 2015), but this may change based on participant numbers. The judges learned a lot during the 1st GA Cup which exposed weaknesses in its system. Using both the feedback from last year's participants and the weaknesses discovered, we've revised the scoring system to make it more fair. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same. We also are introducing three new judges: 3family6, Jaguar and MrWooHoo. So in total, there will be six judges. We hope this will allow the competition to run more smoothly. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on July 15, 2015. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from 3family6, Dom497, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo, and TheQ Editor. |

Hi Jaguar! Just a friendly reminder that policy says you have to review every single you make carefully (even with AWB) because you are 100% accountable for their content. This doesn't look like you gave any thought to what you were doing (cleanup-tagging and stub-tagging an empty test article). AFAIAC this is nothing particularly bad, but I thought it was worth my time to drop you a reminder about AWB usage before you inadvertantly do something less trivial that lands you in hot water. :) ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 15:49, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi Jaguar. First of all, i would like to thank you for not letting me down by accepting Thamizhan1994's requests for c/e s. Now, i am in a similar situation. I am trying to take Pathala Bhairavi to GA status and i want you to copy edit the article. However if you cant do do, convey the same to me ASAP.

For copy-editing Pathala Bhairavi, now a GA, upon my request. Your contributions helped me a lot during its GAR. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:05, 2 June 2015 (UTC) |
I have opened the peer review for Mayabazar (1957), the first Telugu film to be attempted for FA class. Feel free to leave comments. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 04:42, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the comments Jaguar! All of them were resolved by Ssven2 in my absence. I've expanded the lead but i am not completely confident on it. Also, i think there is not much remaining to expand in the Plot section. Please go through the lead and rectify the issues found if any. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 07:01, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for all of the work that you put into your reviews. I've had the great pleasure of working with you on more than one occasion now, and they have all been very pleasant and helpful.

Thank you for quality articles such as Bentworth and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and for your reviews, winning the last GA Cup and serving as a judge on the next, for townships and villages, for a collections of moments and thanks, even to a god, for recognition of the 90s and your love of ideas, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Hi Jaguar,
Thank you again for reviewing the Mind Meld FAC earlier this year. I was glad to see the article get up on the main page. Might you be willing to review another of my FACs? I currently have the JC's Girls article up for featured status here and I would be grateful for any constructive comments you might provide in the discussion.

Hello. Over the past few weeks, I have been working to make Tyrone Garland a GA-caliber article, and I currently feel like it could be promoted. As an experienced user in this field, would you mind reviewing this article? It has received positive feedback from multiple high-profile editors but still may need some fixes. Thank you. TempleM (talk) 22:04, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
Evening Jaguar, can you review this one? Just waiting for a photograph for the infobox, but don't let that put you off! Perhaps reserve a little later to let it go through on the listing first? ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:13, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi, hope you've been enjoying the sun as I have been doing this afternoon! Can you review this colourful rogue for We hope and myself?♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:56, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for that! Can you also do The Ritz, London? How was it possible to spend all day in the sun and not catch a tan LOL? I was out in it for three or four hours yesterday and am looking pretty tanned, slight sunburn on my legs. Today is overcast though and I suspect thunder later on, it's that sort of day!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:42, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
Cheers for the review, Can you always remember to add the article to the relevant GA page and update the tally at the bottom though like this. You did add The Ritz but didn't update the tally at the bottom! You should probably check you listed them for some of your older reviews too! Also I spotted why your GA tags have never showed the topic, unlike the GA nom you've got to add topic= rather than subtopic= see this. Don't worry, I'll see if Ser Amantio can fix your past reviews using AWB.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:41, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
