DYK nomination of Broe helmet
Caroline Brady (philologist) scheduled for TFAThis is to let you know that Caroline Brady (philologist) has been scheduled as WP:TFA for 27 November 2019. Please check that the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/November 27, 2019. Thanks! Ealdgyth - Talk 16:06, 27 October 2019 (UTC) Thank you and all who helped (I have little time, traveliing) for the unusual article, introduced: "By her early teens, Caroline Brady had lived in three countries, traveled across the Pacific aboard a cargo ship, and called the house of a future murderer home. By her twenties and thirties, she was a philologist at Berkeley. And after seemingly vanishing in her forties, Brady returned after a quarter century to publish two of her most important articles, one right before, and one right after, her death. From those missing 25 years, to even her name, much of Brady's life remains unknown; as Llywrch pointed out, there's likely a story here deserving of original research. In lieu of this, however, what we have is by far the most comprehensive take on the life of a person who was little lauded during her lifetime, and seems to have died without an obituary or other notice."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:09, 27 November 2019 (UTC) Your GA nomination of Hellvi helmet eyebrowHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Hellvi helmet eyebrow you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria.

Tim riley talk 23:09, 31 January 2020 (UTC) WikiCup 2020 March newsletterAnd so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement). Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. 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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

However, can I please ask you to stop converting the citations? I happen to hate that citation style that you are converting to. Gatoclass (talk) 19:23, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi there again, I think I have responded to all your comments at this nomination now - please let me know if I have missed anything. With regard to the Brady nomination - I'm sorry that was apparently a negative experience for you - although I suspected at the time that you weren't entirely happy about proceedings. Certainly, that was not my intention. I do think your comments above merit a longer response, but given that we are in the middle of a couple of GAN discussions, I think I'd prefer to wait until we've gotten those out of the way before responding further, as it's likely to become a distraction otherwise.

WikiCup 2020 May newsletterThe second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! 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. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything 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!

Your GA nomination of John Richard Clark HallHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article John Richard Clark Hall you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. AdviceYou are an outstanding editor with many talents. I am thinking about doing an off line draft article and will start typing it up today. Maybe you can look it over when I am through typing it up and give me some advice on it. Hopefully my typed up article will become a DYK and GAN. Many of my articles I type up I have go through GOCE before I submit for GAN - then they can type up corrections that they find, which improves my odds of getting the GAN approved. I use the old fashion method of two-fingered typing, but it has worked for me to create 521 articles in 14 years at Wikipedia of which 97% have become Did You Know articles (500). Ten percent of those have become Good Articles. I type at about 50 words per minute. I'm from Michigan in the United States. What part of the world are you from that you do your typing from?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:31, 31 May 2020 (UTC) A barnstar for you!

Thank you today for Herbert Maryon, introduced: "When the Queen asked him what he did, Herbert Maryon responded that he was a "back room boy at the British Museum." This humble (or, perhaps, deer-in-headlights) comment belied the fact that Maryon, at Buckingham for his appointment to the Order of the British Empire, had only just embarked on his second career; a sculptor, metalsmith, and archaeologist for the first half of the 20th century, Maryon joined the museum's research laboratory at the end of the war and immediately set to work on the treasures from Sutton Hoo, one of Britain's greatest archaeological finds. In other work, he excavated one of Britain's oldest gold artefacts, restored a Roman helmet from Syria, and influenced a painting by Salvador Dalí. When nearly 90 he retired for the second time—then left for an around-the-world museum and lecture tour (where at least two Wikipedians, Peter Knutsen and AJim, heard him speak in 1962)."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:14, 30 September 2020 (UTC) Usernameunique, I noticed that after Gatoclass's comment on this review about really not caring about pursuing either of his nominations that you are reviewing, you closed the other nomination, Talk:William D.

Did you like the film? I watched it last night and found it fascinating. But I'm no expert, so any historical/archaeological howlers will have gone straight over my head. It did prompt me to write this, Tranmer House, Sutton Hoo, which led me inevitably to the Sutton Hoo helmet, and to my query. Why is that amazing article not FA?

Your GA nomination of Martin RundkvistHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Martin Rundkvist you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. Bridges CafeThanks for reviewing the article for GA status. I know the onus is on me to respond to all of your concerns and requests, and not on you to update the article on my behalf, but since I am unable to access the 2 local business journals you found, I wonder if you'd be willing to incorporate them into the article appropriately. If not, I may need to ask for assistance at WikiProject Oregon. Again, I know I'm not supposed to pawn the work off to others, but I'm not sure how I can resolve this final concern so I'm hoping to you might be willing to make the final couple edits needed to get the article promoted.

Yours of 13 MarchHello, Usernameunique. Sorry to be slow responding. Do they want the Italian section or the whole report? And how do I transmit it? Out of curiosity, what did you mean when you said you pinged me? Rgrds,Ijmusic (talk) 22:13, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
You've got mailIt may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template. AmateurEditor (talk) 01:20, 24 March 2021 (UTC) Starry-eyed
Invisible barnstarHey, just wanted to say a quick thank you for taking the time and energy to review all those GANs of mine. It's gone a long way to helping with my project! If you ever feel the inclination to do any more GA reviews, I've got 23 other articles left! The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:48, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Sutton Hoo sea of blueShould really try to meet MOS:SEAOFBLUE here, which is strong enough to ask that we avoid combining adjacent links like this "where possible". If a reader sees the words "Sutton Hoo ship-burial" all in blue, they'd expect that clicking on any of those words would take them to an article telling them more about that particular burial. As it is, half of those clicks will end up at the ship-burial article instead, and, worst case, the reader will conclude that Wikipedia doesn't have a specific article about the Sutton Hoo burial after all. I think changing the link to Sutton Hoo ship-burial does the job. Ship-burial can be linked separately, the next time that it's mentioned in the article. --Lord Belbury (talk) 10:32, 9 April 2021 (UTC) DYK for Martin RundkvistOn 11 April 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Martin Rundkvist, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that last summer, Martin Rundkvist discovered 22 gold foil figures (example pictured) while excavating a "Beowulfian" mead hall in Sweden? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Martin Rundkvist (2nd nomination). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Martin Rundkvist), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 00:01, 11 April 2021 (UTC) R. A. B. MynorsHello Usernameunique, I hope you're well. I'm contacting you because you were the FA nominator for Nigel Williams (conservator). I'm currently nominating a rather similar topic, R. A. B. Mynors, for FA status. I was wondering whether you might like to add a review to the article's FAC page. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 13:31, 15 April 2021 (UTC) Hello, it's been about 12 days since you started the review of Hurricane Lorena which I nominated. I was wondering if you'd ever get back to it by the end of the 7-day mark, and you've seemed to be active otherwise but have not done anything with it ever since I finished. Could you look at that for me, Thanks! Hurricaneboy23 (page) * (talk) 19:21, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
March 2021 GAN Backlog drive
WikiCup 2021 May newsletterThe second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures. Our top scorers in Round 2 were:
Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything 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.

Shuttle-CentaurCould I trouble you for a source review for Shuttle-Centaur at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Shuttle-Centaur/archive1? I think a source review is all it needs to move the article on. It already had one during its A-class review, and it is fairly straightforward source-wise, using mainly NASA official histories, conference papers and press releases, and some newspaper articles.

Your GA nomination of Robert KaskeHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Robert Kaske you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. Your GA nomination of Robert KaskeThe article Robert Kaske you nominated as a good article has passed Juan Van Der Hamen Y León & the Court of MadridThank you so much for helping me out with that; it has been very helpful. If I may ask for a little more, would it be possible to get its fifth and sixth chapter — "The Still Life: A Convergence of Life and Art" and "Master of the Still Life" — page 71 to 119? I would have asked for a narrower range if I knew where the excerpt I am looking for would be. Jordan describes van der Hamen's "stepped style" of still life in the book, and it should be somewhere in those two chapter. Let me know if it is possible to get that. — The Most Comfortable Chair 11:40, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
Source reviewsAfter a longish absence from FAC I have been popping in recently, and I see you are doing a good number of source reviews. Our late colleague Brian Boulton used to do a lot of those, and I thought then, and think now, that anyone doing so must have the patience of a saint. Very glad someone is doing the job, and thank you! Tim riley talk 21:58, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
The WikiCupAs a WikiCup judge, I have had to reject five of your FAR submissions because they were made out of time. The rule states "In the spirit of fair play, contestants have 14 days to nominate their work after promotion (for good and featured content), appearance on the main page (for did you knows and in the news articles) or the completion of good or featured article reviews and featured list reviews, by entering it on their submissions page. However, work qualifying in a particular round must be nominated and claimed within 24 hours of the end of the round. Nominations submitted more than 14 days after the points were earned, or more than 24 hours after the end of a round, will not be eligible." Four of the reviews in question were done in May and not submitted until June 25, while the fifth was only 2 days late. I see from your edit summary that you had "Just realized that source reviews are eligible." Sorry about that. As Tim riley states above, they were good source reviews.

WikiCup 2021 July newsletterThe third round of the 2021 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 294 points, and our top six scorers all had over 600 points. They were:
In round three, contestants achieved 19 featured articles, 7 featured lists, 106 featured article reviews, 72 good articles, 1 good topic, 62 good article reviews, 165 DYKs and 96 ITN items. We enter the fourth round with scores reset to zero; 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 (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

As a coordinator for the GAN Backlog Drives, I was wondering if you would consider looking at my first review and giving some advice? I've contacted a mentor, but am not certain they will respond in good time. Thanks for the help so far. Horsesizedduck (talk) 23:35, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
Usernameunique, unfortunately Cplakidas stopped editing back on April 10 without ever starting this review: the initial edit opening the page included the comment that they'd "take this on soon" as well as the bare GA review template. I posted to their talk page here saying that I'd be having the review page deleted as abandoned if they didn't return to the review within the week, but I went on vacation just before the week was up and am only now getting back to things. Unfortunately, I don't think I can request that the review page be deleted now that there's another editor posting to it, so instead I've just reset the page number in the GA nominee template to 2 from 1 (plus removed the "onreview" status from the template and the transclusion of the review from the talk page) so the nomination's available for a backlog reviewer.
