Welcome to the 2011 WikiCup!Hello, happy new year and welcome to the 2011 WikiCup! Your submissions' page can be found here and instructions of how to update the page can be found here and on the submissions' page itself. From the submissions' page, a bot will update the main scoresheet. Our rules have been very slightly updated from last year; the full rules can be found here. Please remember that you can only receive points for content on which you have done significant work in 2011; nominations of work from last year and "drive-by" nominations will not be awarded points. Signups are going to remain open through January, so if you know of anyone who would like to take part, please direct them to Wikipedia:WikiCup/2011 signups. The judges can be contacted on the WikiCup talk page, on their respective talk pages, or by email. Other than that, we will be in contact at the end of every month with the newsletter. If you want to stop or start receiving newsletters, please remove your name from or add your name to this list. Good luck!

Oh, okay then. (shi**y English right there, in the first article) It's just that I really thought for a minute that the family of Päivinen were a bunch of vikings ruling Scandinavia and getting drunk.. :D The name appeared in about 1800s according to my aunt.. but I don't have a clue who made it.

Top 4 LogAbout the Top 4 log, I think it would be best if it was updated after every four requests are completed and moved to the archive page. That way, the page will be easier to keep track of and the update date will correspond to the date in the archive. Guoguo12--Talk-- 16:33, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
Speedy Deletion of Európa KiadóHi, I created a page today (Európa Kiadó) you considered unworthy and labeled for speedy deletion. I think I (and not only I) provided ample info as to the worthiness of the page, and I'm okay to provide more (e.g. the page still missing footnotes and external links in English), and although I admit it is impossible for a wikipedia moderator to know everything about the history or culture of small European countries, and therefore it makes sense to question the notability of something thet you aren't supposed to know on well-defined grounds, the page, I'm sure, long needed to be created. I was actually surprised it wasnt there till today. So I'm asking you: when will you remove the label and/or join the discussion page?

thanks! (and if you do somehting well, you might get more of it...)... I just moved to another Hague Convention with an outdated map: Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. Changes needed are in the caption of the infobox and a list of parties (status table here, also here it goes only for Macao/Hong Kong with respect to China). If you could make a map of that (preferably in that member/non-member format you used onthe other one), that would be highly appreciated! L.tak (talk) 14:51, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

See you round the Wiki!TCO (talk) 19:03, 6 February 2011 (UTC) map opinion (apologies for my long message, but please advise!)Fall: Thank you again for the help with our lizard. I am thinking about getting a full column map for the species distribution in "Painted turtle#Description". This is how a lot of other sites and papers depict it, so I don't think it's too much. And we have 4 subspecies and a lot of granular discussion. Someone in FAC said, he would have to go get a map to follow our text. My first reaction, was that he should own one and should have learned geo in school...but I did not make these sarcastic remarks. And the more I thought about it, an in article good map would be worthwhile. It's not just within Range (although that is where the map would live), but other parts of the article refer to geographies. Think we really justify the big map. (I had been a little resistive of it at first when a colleague suggested it also, I guess from fatigue at how much we have done in that article...but the more I think from a reader point of view, it would be high value content.)
TCO (talk) 18:17, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
So sorry about your health, but happy that we are on the top of the work list. This map will be beautiful and sit in a good article too! I like the composition, especially the colors and transparancy, and the cut.
TCO (talk) 00:19, 10 February 2011 (UTC) Map ChangesRight I've uploaded a new version over the old one.
Hopefully things are more on target now, I'm guessing the ranges are going to need adapting as you get more sources but apart from that any other feedback or changes just let me know. Regards, Fallschirmjäger ✉ 23:34, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Defining the species rangesOK. I have rewritten the whole range section. I understand it inside and out. We just need to put the proper range boundaries in now. EAST: Basically we should use the map of Conant p.185, scroll up for all the borders for the midland, southern, eastern and intergrades amongst them. (basically all except for the western subspecies, and it's intergrade with midland).
WEST: This will be more of a combo of sources, but then that's what we're providing readers.

Featured picture?Like to get you some reward for your work and also, have a little bit of a sneaky desire to emphasize mapmaking at Wikipedia in general. I would like to have your map become a FP. I suggested it for Peer Review and listed you as the creator: see here. Hope this is positive for you! If you would prefer not, no problem, can pull it. TCO (talk) 01:12, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Another map? Easier one.Would like to show the geography involved with the giant tortoises. Would go into the article in FA on Galapagos tortoise#Taxonomy and also Giant tortoise. No species map complexities. Just want to show the Indian Ocean and Pacific. Madagascar, Mascarenes and Sechelles on one end and then South American and Galapagos on the other. No need to show details of the islands. Just a dot and a name is fine. Only hard part is the sheer distance involved (halfway round the world). The point of the map is just to show the incredible distance (as well as relative enclosedness of the IO) that makes migration from Mascarenes to Galapagos unlikely. Since it's just conceptual, would like to display it at a relatively small scale (not full width). P.s. If we should give you a rest, no biggie.

Was worth a shot, thanks for the try. Different idea. Could you add a cutout (showing relation of Galapogos to South America) to this map? [8]? And I guess anything else you want to improve. But big one would be adding the cutout.TCO (talk) 08:20, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

reviewer feedbackFS: 1. I definitely don't want to add rivers in general to the map. We would not be showing Willamette, but would show Platte if all we cared about was hydrology. But the point is to show the rivers from the article. 2. What about the state and province names. Maybe he has a point. Looking at it, it looks like they might fit fine. How much work would it be to add those? 3. I guess the countries too. Not sure how we show that?TCO (talk) 06:55, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you. Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, 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.

Turtles of TexasStarting another project. Think it will have one cool, kinda new twist: range maps in a table. Appreciate any help and advice. [14] TCO (talk) 02:36, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
There are about 30 species. It will be a bit of a work project, but I think will make the article "special". Have not seen anyone do this. Getting the ranges (or calling them, since there will be source variation) will be on me. Maybe if we did something like numbering the counties, it would help for coordination? I am expecting a lot of species in East Texas will just be in sort of a swath there, so could just say " a line east of ...". I'm not totally hung up on the county-level precision, but was trying to come up with a system of coordinates, so that we could be efficient. Some states (VA, ME) actually have county-level sampling, but I don't know for Texas yet. I was more thinking as a tool for us to draw. Something to make it easy for you to draw the maps once there is a system. Agreed, the sea turtles, we can just draw as offshore (maybe out to some limit, territorial waters or "economic zone"). They do come on land to nest, but just occasionaly and only penetrating a few yards inland. Would display their range as in ocean. The diamondback terrapin is only found in the row of the couple counties closest to the ocean.

I uploaded this image on Commons [16], which I found an extraordinary image (and one of several proposed Confederate flag designs I found at Beinecke). The image was subsequently fiddled with, and it hasn't worked out well (in my opinion). What I was hoping for was to have the back border removed as in this instance [17], while retaining the aged look of the original (as is the case in the diploma). Instead, the original lovely faded color of the original has been replaced by a rather modern-looking garish red. I wonder if you might have a 'go' at this? As always, many thanks!

Looking for help making a new image showing fluorine usageI have been reading over some of the source references for industrial fluorine usage. It is actually kind of confusing, because for instance CaF2 can be both used directly or be a source material for HF or F2. I think this is a case where a graphical representation would be very powerful. Was thinking of basically a flow diagram, left to right (probably displayed full width) from minerals to intermediates to uses. Obviously the major ones only. Not sure how to display the quantities, maybe have the arrows/boxes size dependant on F mass? Or perhaps just list the number. but in any case, even just showing the "what leads to what" could be helpful. I think with the encylopedic content (important topic), with the "why a picture helps understand" and then with some work on most clean and functional graphic, we could get it to FP, pretty easy. Not something I would delay the F FAC over, just something to add regardless. Thoughts? I can get started by dummying out the amounts and order and reference(s) (will do a little spreadsheet). If you want, I can throw something simple on Powerpoint together, and then we can play with it to clean it up visually or to think how to show the content most easily. TCO (talk) 17:14, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
fluorine images and FACHey FS, Fluorine failed FAC (which I agree with, great article but just needs a lot more polishing). Gives us more time to work on various aspects of that article, probably looking to be back in FAC in mid-August (when nominator says he wants to take it back). I am going to go to down on all aspects of the article, but FYI, I recently looked at "Oxygen" and it is stunning as an element FA. In addition to smoother writing and more content, it has a lot of appealing images. Just something to keep in mind as we work on Fluorine pictures. I will probably be expanding length anyway, which will allow for more space for images (more like Painted turtle). P.s. I moved the liquid F to the infobox and cut the gas tube picture, that had concerns with non-free-ness as well as questions about its accuracy as well.TCO (talk) 22:42, 15 June 2011 (UTC) ozone hole cleanup helpFS: Will you please work your magic on this?

 Here we go. As its a GIF, which is needed for animation, the quality isn't perfect but nothing can really be done about that. But it looks fine at full-size. Fallschirmjäger ✉ 15:53, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Spurs shirtHi. If you feel that the minor change in detail to the new Tottenham shirt is very important would it be sensible to rename the image to a generic name (e.g. _collar_v_neck) to help for more general usage of the image? Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 16:47, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
got the corporate release for F2 chemicalsOTRSed the release from director of sales and marketing F2. Given I culled the gas image, we are basically clear on all the permissions issues you raised on F. Of course we are generating new images and the like. Still...I think major upgrade. Also, I had same impression as you on the images there. But you found more than I did. And they need to hear it from an image expert. Is just an awareness process. Thanks for letting me lure you into FA. ;) TCO (talk) 20:52, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
give me an inch...Hey man...if you can also do the image review on Manhattan project, that would help. I think there is SOME commonality in the element article reviews (one pic overlaps actually). Also an overlap in that I will do a review of content. I think it should be pretty clean actually...but inspect it!!TCO (talk) 01:41, 21 June 2011 (UTC) 330 firstActually prior to MP and Cf, wonder if you could check out the A330 article.

Image requestCould you take this image and modify it to be more readable? I am thinking,
TCO (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
I've already been working on the images in the article, particularly I've been sourcing higher resolution versions of many of the images. I also added a better version of the infobox image and SVG version of the shoulder badge. I also came across this (File:Manhattan Project emblem.png) from Jones, Manhattan: The Army and the Bomb which I was wondering may be useful for the article, what you think? Fallschirmjäger ✉ 13:03, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
An image could really help this article...Another request, I guess. Have been trying to help out this article, A330. It's actually a pretty decent article, in terms of very highly researched and detailed. However, the topic is really dull with a lot of numbers and such. I feel some pity for the writer, who is a young first-timer and is getting fed up with the FAC process. Want to help him get it over the hump and get the star. And a particular image could really help. One thing about the article, is that the very start of the body text (Background and Design effort sections) is really hard to keep track of all of the predecessor aircraft, co-developed aircraft, and different names of the thing as it went through design. The readers eyes glaze over and lose track of what is what. What I want to do is solve this with an image, showing the "flow chart" of different models developed. Just some basic powerpoint style drawing. Thinking it would go centered, be pretty wide and sit at the very top of the section. That way, reader can refer to it if he loses track of what is what. Thoughts? TCO (talk) 06:22, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
FA/GA Image ReviewsI work in images a lot, and I was thinking that this might be the next logical field for me to move into. Looking over the FA criteria page, it seems straightforward enough. How do I get started with this? Do I just start doing them or do I sign up or tell someone? Also, do you have any advice for me? Thanks, Sven Manguard Wha? 18:54, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores. We would again like to thank 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, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

One more F picture request Can you crop this pic to eliminate the packaging (just show the tube). Think packaging adds little. I am quite all right with image becomining pretty wide and short (those are easier to text wrap anyway and we may get another pic in that section).

Squeezing on mine, also. It is that file display bug (but it propogates to display in the article as well). I went and reverted for now.

Hiya FSJ, I saw your comments in one of Milhist's FACs and was coming over to invite you to join WP:OPNORMANDY#Contributors ... I figured with the name, you might be interested in paratroopers, and now that I see you work with the Graphic Lab, that's even better. I've been wondering the last few days how to find or make an animation to show how paratroopers (individuals and units) met up after being scattered all over the place on D-Day, one animation for each important action, such as the Brecourt Manor Assault. Should I drop the request over at the Graphic Lab, and if so, what information will they need? - Dank (push to talk) 17:58, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Turtle map requestHey FS, can we collab on another map? Would be for common box turtle. There are four subspecies in US and two in Mexico. this is probably the best source in terms of correctness (pages 176-177): [21] However, would not show those dots, let's just draw a line enclosing. I WOULD like to show the "zone of intergradation" that the fellow has. BTW, this is another source. Pretty similar boundaries and a little easier to look at, but only covers US subspecies.

There are two reasons for that. First, because the blotches are rather noticeable, especially in thumb form, and I'd like to see how much of a difference it would make, and second, because I have half a mind to have this printed up in full size so I can gift it to a civics teacher I know, and I'd like for it to look as good on a classroom wall as possible.

Friendly. --StefSom (talk) 17:54, 6 October 2011 (UTC) WikiCup 2011 October newsletterThe 2011 WikiCup is now over, and our new champion is
Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.
No prize was awarded for featured pictures, sounds or portals, as none were claimed throughout the competition. The awards will be handed out over the next few days. Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work. Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited to sign up and participate in our straw polls. It's been a pleasure to work with you all this year, and, whoever's taking part in and running the competition in 2012, we hope to see you all in January!

I don't know if you remember me, but you helped me many times before. There is a picture which I plan to use in an article I want to improve and nominate to FA. The problem is that there are some noises in it and his hair doesn't seem to be discernible from the background. In case you're interest, could you do something about it? Remove the noise and do something about the background? Than you very much, --Lecen (talk) 18:36, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
Now it's perfect! Could you just trim the margin like in this picture?
A barnstar for you!

Skier Dude (talk) 04:06, 4 December 2011 (UTC) Hey man, long time, no talk, request a favorCould you redo this file: File:Natural Range of Python sebae and natalensis.svg 1. Cut the little box, covering Madagascar. (We are using map now in infobox now and keyed below is fine). 2. Do a new named version, since the original is used on Polish wiki. Please just title Natural range of Python sebae (will help with taxo inconsistency below in P.s.) P.s. There is also an issue of the labeling being for species, whereas our article uses subspecies as taxonomy, but I can fix this on my own, in key. TCO (talk) 01:02, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Can you convert this into an SVG pleaseA user came to my talk page asking if File:Organization Chart - Department of National Defence, Canada.jpg could be converted into an SVG. As I said there, SVGs are outside of my area of expertise, so I figured I'd push the request over to you. Sven Manguard Wha? 03:51, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
