We are halfway through round two. Pool A sees the strongest competition, with five out of eight of its competitors scoring over 100, and Pool H is lagging, with half of its competitors yet to score. WikiCup veterans lead overall; Pool A's Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (2010's winner) leads overall, with poolmate
Miyagawa (submissions) (a finalist in 2011 and 2012) not far behind. Pool F's
Casliber (submissions) (a finalist in 2010, 2011 and 2012) is in third. The top two scorers in each pool, as well as the next highest 16 scorers overall, will progress to round three at the end of April.
Today has seen a number of Easter-themed did you knows from WikiCup participants, and March has seen collaboration from contestants with WikiWomen's History Month. It's great to see the WikiCup being used as a locus of collaboration; if you know of any collaborative efforts going on, or want to start anything up, please feel free to use the WikiCup talk page to help find interested editors. As well as fostering collaboration, we're also seeing the Cup encouraging the improvement of high-importance articles through the bonus point system. Highlights from the last month include GAs on physicist Niels Bohr ( Hawkeye7 (submissions)), on the European hare (
Cwmhiraeth (submissions)), on the constellation Circinus (
Keilana (submissions) and
Casliber (submissions)) and on the Third Epistle of John (
Cerebellum (submissions)). All of these subjects were covered on at least 50 Wikipedias at the beginning of the year and, subsequently, each contribution was awarded at least three times as many points as normal.
Wikipedians who enjoy friendly competition may be interested in participating in April's wikification drive. While wikifying an article is typically not considered "significant work" such that it can be claimed for WikiCup points, such gnomish work is often invaluable in keeping articles in shape, and is typically very helpful for new writers who may not be familiar with formatting norms.
A quick reminder: now, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

We are a week into Round 3, but it is off to a flying start, with Sven Manguard (submissions) claiming for the high-importance Portal:Sports and Portal:Geography (which are the first portals ever awarded bonus points in the WikiCup) and
Cwmhiraeth (submissions) claiming for a did you know of sea, the highest scoring individual did you know article ever submitted for the WikiCup. Round 2 saw very impressive scores at close; first place
Casliber (submissions) and second place
Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) both scored over 1000 points; a feat not seen in Round 2 since 2010. This, in part, has been made possible by the change in the bonus points rules, but is also testament to the quality of the competition this year. Pool C and Pool G were most competitive, with three quarters of participants making it to Round 3, while Pool D was the least, with only the top two scorers making it through. The lowest qualifying score was 123, significantly higher than last year's 65, 2011's 41 or even 2010's 100.
The next issue of The Signpost is due to include a brief update on the current WikiCup, comparing it to previous years' competitions. This may be of interest to current WikiCup followers, and may help bring some more new faces into the community. We would also like to note that this round includes an extra competitor to the 32 advertised, who has been added to a random pool. This extra inclusion seems to have been the fairest way to deal with a small mistake made before the beginning of this round, but should not affect the competition in a large way. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact one of the judges.
A rules clarification: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on 29/30 April, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.
Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Help.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please note that editors can remove proposed deletions simply by removing the tag; they aren't required to provide a rationale. That said, in this case I agree with you (in fact, I proposed deletion of the article less than a month prior), and would be happy to support an AFD. Alternately I'd be willing to open one if you'd be willing to support. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 19:57, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:16, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Hello. Please can you remove Category:Tyw7's pictures from User:Tyw7/licence.css? Aside from the fact you shouldn't have red-linked categories anywhere per WP:REDNOT, such user-specific categories are generally deprecated (although there's a handful at Category:Wikipedia images by source). Partly because it suggests WP:OWNERSHIP, but also because there's more efficient ways to track your files, such as going to your Contributions and filtering by namespace.

If you are not already aware of the policy, please read WP:CANVASS. I notice that you have notified two users about several AfD discussions (diff, diff), but it appears that you are only notifying those that seem to agree with your views. For example, in this post you mentioned this AfD discussion, but you only notified the nominator for deletion, but did not notify the other participant (User:James500) in the AfD discussion who opined for the article to be retained. Furthermore, James500 has contributed to several of the discussions you listed in your posts, but from the Revision history for their user talk page, you have not notified them about these discussions. Comes across as overt canvassing, and please notify all interested users when sending notifications, not only those that tend to agree with your views. North America1000 11:18, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

It's always a good idea to carefully check what you are reverting to when you undo vandalism, especially on a page which has had a lot of recent vandalism. See the image you restored in this edit.

I've noticed you leaving messages for users to participate in various AfDs. Just curious what your method is. It doesn't look like you notify everyone in a given discussion (e.g. only select people from the first List of breakfast drinks AfD), but at the same time it doesn't look like the people you are notifying !voted a particular way, so it doesn't seem to be a canvassing thing. Just random selection? Do you keep a running list of who might be interested in what? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:00, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
Well, the vandal has returned, so I have protected the talk pages again. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 07:12, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
Regarding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Education Not for Sale (3rd nomination), I know you had good intentions, but it's not appropriate to close an AfD that you've participated in (or opened yourself). If you want to withdraw the nomination, just strike through your nominating statement with <s>...</s> and state that it's withdrawn. Some admin will eventually come along and officially close it. That may seem a little silly, but it's the standard practice and promotes full transparency.
The other thing I wanted to mention was the DRV you deleted. Again, I'm sure you had good intentions, but we don't do that. Like the AfD, you should have just struck your argument and stated that it was withdrawn. I've gone ahead and done that. Doing it this way leaves a clean record of what happened.
Please don't go back and change anything now; what's done is done. This is just for future reference. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:17, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to List of breakfast foods does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
I am concerned that your post here comes across as canvassing, based upon you and the user you messaged tending to !vote for deletion in articles, and nothing more. (E.g. "we agree in AfD discussions, so they are likely to agree with my stance regarding the template, so I'll notify them".) Cursory checks have not provided any evidence that DexterPointy has edited or been involved in Template:Neighborhoods of Tel Aviv or participated in discussions regarding the template's content.

Martín Deiros was tagged with ((refimprove))
when you nominated it for deletion on 30 July. You had made no previous edits to the article. Following my !vote at AFD you then tagged the article with both ((unreliable sources))
, ((BLP unsourced))
and ((unreferenced))
, and tagged it with ((db-person))
which was declined, and ~half an hour ago further tagged with ((more footnotes))
despite no gen refs being present and this being the only external link. What goes wrong? Sam Sailor 20:25, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
This addition of ((no footnotes))
to Vestre Hestlægerhøe, an article you also have nominated for deletion, was wrong, all the article needed was a References section and a ((reflist))

This is readable, whereas that is an information dump (and I'm not even talking about how awfully screwed-up it renders on my screen, which is also true; though such might be related to the "edit conflict" there.).
I don't think you improve people's understanding of texts by overloading them with vast amounts of textual redundancy.

Just a heads-up but it is generally considered poor form, or even against policy, to do more than basic copy editing of comments except immediately after posting.

Hi you recently added the deletion discuss of the above page to the deletion sorting for Fraternities and sororities which I think is out of the scope of the project as Fraternities and sororities have nothing to do with UK University sports clubs. Maybe it was an error because anyone watching the category will be specifically interested in Fraternities and sororities. the idea of delsorting is "transcluding AFD discussions in category specific pages, that makes it easier for people find a topic they have knowledge and interest in" and it is better not to send it to categories that are not associated. Just to let you know I undid this addition. cheers --Dom from Paris (talk) 10:08, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello: The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Mesa Distance Learning Program has been completed. As I mentioned in my ping to you: "I notice there is a tag on this article indicating it needs to be updated. You have also said that you would like it to be "improved". This is beyond the scope of the Guild." Although you did not reply, I copy edited the article anyway as it was short.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi there. I've noticed you've nominated three books in the Edge Chronicles series for deletion. I think two of them are notable and have been or will be kept, while the the third was redirected to the series. Since AfD is not clean-up could I suggest that if you plan to continue work in this area you try and redirect pages that your BEFORE suggest aren't notable to the series article rather than AfD? Alternatively, you could reach out to myself or one of the other people who work in this area to ask about notability prior to nomination. Not watching so please ping me in any response. Thanks and Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:09, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Just to let you know that I consider that actually operating a scheduled service makes them noteworthy, it is unlikely that that would happen without it being reported somewhere. Its just the hurdle I use to consider if these airlines are worth including. I have to say a lot of these airlines dont make it that far for various reasons so are not really noteworthy for inclusion. MilborneOne (talk) 16:56, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

You were involved in an AfD that resulted in a WP:SNOW. You might be interested in this one: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hapa Road railway station. There are currently 2,800 articles written about the 8,500 India railway stations. Two thousand of those are stubs and several hundred are single-source sub-stubs. The inclusionists point to Wikipedia:Notability_(Railway_lines_and_stations)#Stations as policy that presumes notability, but I don't read it that way. --Rhadow (talk) 15:18, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
Hello Tyw7, my request for a redirect for Sonasan railway station, the remedy suggested by Wikipedia:Notability_(Railway_lines_and_stations)#Stations was ignored. Instead, another editor deleted the article under WP:G7.

Hello! Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Your the expert on if a page should be deleted or not. I will say that people still quite often get in touch with me from this page. Both bands mentioned here that I played in are still very much active. I was only trying to add a picture to it because there is also an adult actor with the same name and his picture was showing up when you googled my full name, Kevin Andrew Falk. I'm in the middle of a job hunt as we just moved to New Zealand so I didn't want potential employers to get confused with that adult actors picture instead of me.
Hopefully, this was informative.
I would prefer the page remain up. Thank you! -Kevin

Why are you nominating things for deletion on behalf of a single purpose IP address? The people showing up to vote delete are banned sockpuppets, so the IP address used to get you to nominate things probably is as well. I don't see any reason why an IP address with no previous edits should ever be allowed to send nominate things for deletion. If the software keeps them from doing it themselves, there is a reason for that, you shouldn't do it for them. Dream Focus 05:55, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Planet of the Dead.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:38, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
Hey hi howdy. I think you may be dipping your toes into a shark tank with the proxy nominations. Armenian nationalism POV pushing is a big problem here and this may be an example of it. Also, there's no reason except competence he can't do it himself. I'd never do that for anyone, but I think minimally if you are going to do it, you should only do so if the nomination is put together in a convincing manner (citation to policy for instance). Not a warning, just a suggestion. Every edit we make is supposed to improve the encyclopedia. I'm going to snow close the one on the bio. It's meritless. --John from Idegon (talk) 20:25, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

I saw that you nominated a few populated places for deletion. Our standards for inclusion of populated places are deliberately very low.

Hi there
I got here after searching the name of a person who was the subject of a Netflix Special program. His name is Wayne Doty, and he’s a convicted double murderer awaiting execution on Florida’s death row. Not a nice individual.
I searched him up because I wanted to see if he’s still alive. I see that you’ve tagged his Wikipedia page for deletion because he’s not a notable person.
I disagree with this assertion. I think that anyone who has an hour-long Netflix special made about him is notable enough to have a Wikipedia entry. Not as notable as Stevie Wonder or Ghengis Khan, but surely a little bit notable. In addition, Doty is interesting to legal scholars because of his attempts to hasten his own execution and his rejection of legal counsel while doing so.
I respectfully submit that the deletion request for that Wikipedia page should be retracted.
Thanks Nik
