User talk:12george1/Archive 26Harvey and Maria effectsCan you start an article for the effects of Harvey in Texas since the TCR for it is due today? I believe it would help since the TCR will have a lot of info to use regarding the damages. And it would be cool if afterwards, you can probably finish the effects of Maria in PR that CB started (who is now semi-retired and I bet he’d be okay with you finishing it for him). Just asking bc you did a great job for the effects of Irma in Florida and I could see that skill being used quite often. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 13:44, 25 January 2018 (UTC) DYK for Effects of Hurricane Irma in FloridaOn 14 February 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Effects of Hurricane Irma in Florida, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the effects of Hurricane Irma in Florida resulted in at least $50 billion in damage, far surpassing Hurricane Andrew as the state's costliest tropical cyclone? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Effects of Hurricane Irma in Florida. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Effects of Hurricane Irma in Florida), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

WikiCup 2018 May newsletterThe second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:
So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Alex Shih (talk) 00:02, 2 August 2018 (UTC) WikiCup 2018 September newsletterThe fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:30, 1 September 2018 (UTC) Please use edit summariesYour last edit to 1900 Galveston hurricane looked so suspicious to me, starting as it did with an inserted misspelling and unexplained deletion of a cite (as it appeared, anyway). Only after comparing versions did it become apparent you had moved and reconstructed the ref/cite and were deleting an old now-duplicate commented out copy. An edit summary of "deleting duplicate cite" would have been soooo reassuring to the casual reviewer of RecentChanges. Of course, now you need to fix the typo. (and which is why I always use the "Show changes", because I often hit some darn key or another in an unexpected place) Shenme (talk) 04:03, 2 September 2018 (UTC) WikiCup 2018 November newsletterThe WikiCup is over for another year!
