WikiCup 2011 July newsletter We are half way through the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; there is less than a month to go before we have our final 8. Our pool leaders are There is little else to be said beyond the usual. Please list anything you need reviewing on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, so others following the WikiCup can help, and please do help if you can by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup- points are, of course, offered for reviews at GAC. Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Nolelover Talk·Contribs 01:33, 22 August 2011 (UTC) Rose Doudou Guei Biography RedirectI added this biography, and it is now redirecting to the biography of her husband Robert Guei. I saw on the history that one editor wanted to speedy delete it, and you redirected it. I want to appeal this decision and I'd like to know how to do it. I want the biography kept on the grounds that it is of a notable person. Rose Doudou Geui was the First Lady of Cote d'Ivoire (a country in Africa). Her husband was President of Cote d'Ivoire. First Ladies of other countries are considered notable enough to have biographies in Wikipedia. (There are five biographies for First Ladies of the State of Kentucky). Please let me know. Thank you, OttawaAC (talk) 02:59, 22 August 2011 (UTC) afd closesI see that today you've made an umber of AfD closes a little on the early side. I haven't any objection at all to any of the closes I've noticed, in terms of closes--they were in fact generally rather obvious. But it's policy that we wait 7 full days. Please do wait the full 7 X 24 hours. Even a few hours early tend to drift, as other people go to 6 then 12 hours early, etc.--and it's gotten even worse than this in the past. You know what inevitably happens when we start reacing each other. I'm not at all a stickler for exact timed procedure, but this is one place where it matters.-- First, someone may have something different to say at the last minute, that changes things--it does not happen often, but it does happen a few times a week. Second, new admins and people preparing to become admins need a chance. (It was different back in 08 when you became an admin--things were much sloppier then, & in fact, I think just 5 days was the standard at the time.)

AfDI was going to post a wtf message here but it seems that you corrected yourself. cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 18:31, 23 August 2011 (UTC) TalkbackMessage added 19:01, 23 August 2011 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. I would like to request that you reconsider your early closure of the subject AfD (the original nominator has initiated a DRV but I noticed he has not commented here). I fail to see how this AfD nomination qualifies under any of the 5 criteria at WP:SK. The nominator did advance an argument for deletion, this was not "unquestionably vandalism or disruption", and the nominator is not banned as far as I am aware. It's also not a policy/guideline and as far as I can tell it's not linked from the Main Page. I do not necessarily support deletion, and this AfD may yet result in a WP:SNOW keep, but I think that four minutes is way too short to gauge that. —KuyaBriBriTalk 20:15, 23 August 2011 (UTC) 2011 Virginia EarthquakeI'm a bit confused about the initial closure of this AFD. Was it an accident or did you regret the decision soon after?--RadioFan (talk) 03:11, 24 August 2011 (UTC) Wikipedia:NBD listed at Redirects for discussionAn editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wikipedia:NBD.

If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Ironholds (talk) 18:18, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
Please dont put words in my mouth. Everyone makes mistakes but admins are also held to a higher standard, like it or not. Blocks aren't supposed to be punishments they provide time for things to calm down, which is what is needed here. Even admins need this from time to time.--RadioFan (talk) 00:20, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
WikiCup 2011 July newsletterThe finals are upon us; we're down to the last few. One of the eight remaining contestants will be this year's WikiCup champion! 150 was the score needed to progress to the final; just under double the 76 required to reach round 4, and more than triple the 41 required to reach round 3. Our eight finalists are:
We say goodbye to our seven other semi-finalists, In other news, preparations for next year's competition have begun with a brainstorming thread. Please, feel free to drop by and share any thoughts you have about how the competition should work next year. Sign ups are not yet open, but will be opened in due course. Watch this space. Further, there has been a discussion about the rule whereby those in the WikiCup must delcare their participation when nominating articles at featured article candidates. This has resulted in a bot being created by new featured article delegate Ucucha (talk · contribs). The bot will leave a message on FAC pages if the nominator is a participant in the WikiCup. A reminder of the rules: any points scored after August 29 may be claimed for the final round, and please remember to update submission pages promptly. If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!
