Nomination of List of Trent Barton bus routes for deletionA discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of Trent Barton bus routes is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted. The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Trent Barton bus routes until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Charles (talk) 18:55, 29 January 2013 (UTC) The Signpost: 28 January 2013
Hi Rcsprinter123. I notice that you declined this AfC. It looks like the user who wrote the page, contacted you twice on your user talk page, [1] and [2]. You did not reply to either of these messages, though you would have seen them since you edited your talk page before they were archived. This isn't a very good experience for new users, AfC is supposed to provide help, not a bar to pass (they could simply post the article themselves, if they wanted). If you aren't going to be able to give feedback to users needing help, I suggest staying away from reviewing AfCs.

WikiCup 2013 January newsletterSignups are now closed; we have our final 127 contestants for this year's competition. 64 contestants will make it to the next round at the end of February, but we're already seeing strong scoring compared to previous years. Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) currently leads, with 358 points. At this stage in 2012, the leader ( Grapple X (submissions)) had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years. 12george1 (submissions) was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a detailed good article review. Some other firsts:
Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition. This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points:
Also, a quick mention of The C of E (submissions), who may well have already written the oddest article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to Fucking Hell on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery? The gauntlet has been thrown down; can anyone beat it? 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.

Hi, I saw you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paris Ouest. Perhaps I expressed my request too mildly, so that it did not attract much comments, but this article should really be deleted, as it essentially refers to a non-existing concept (check Google scholar, references to "Paris Ouest" are about completely different things). It there a way to reactivate the request ? --Superzoulou (talk) 19:13, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
