Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:18, 21 April 2017 (UTC) Edit revert: List of Pacific hurricanesHello, I would like to inquire about an edit of mine that you reverted. The section "Strongest by category" was removed due to WP:OR. Despite this however, there are numerous other categories that also contain OR, including pretty much every sub-section under "Intensity records." I don't see why it is more acceptable to remove this section than it is to remove any other section. --Undescribed (talk) 19:19, 28 April 2017 (UTC) May 2017 WikiCup newsletterThe second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs. So, on to 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 10 days of "earning" 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 equally. 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.

Thank you again. 13.54.152.171 (talk) 15:02, 29 June 2017 (UTC) Respectfully request reconsideration of your decision to fail this good article nomination with no hold. Thank you. 13.54.152.171 (talk) 16:53, 30 June 2017 (UTC) Congratulations on your progress in the Cup! Thank you for your attention to this good article nomination, since I know you are very busy with the competition. I have not seen this before, a GAR fail with no hold on the basis of recent inactivity of the nominator. I notice you awarded yourself points for failing this good article review with no hold, as you did with at least one other GA review in round 3. A quick fail, no hold, no follow-up required from the reviewer, maximizes time to devote to the Cup, and scores points immediately, as opposed to possibly in the next round. As I understand it, while a gamification, the Cup is a means to an end, which is improving the encyclopedia, which is nominally all of our's goal. As I understand it, there are no deadlines on Wikipedia, is the Cup an exception? Thank you again. 13.54.152.171 (talk) 18:31, 30 June 2017 (UTC) Thank you for explaining that time was important to you when you failed this GAR without a hold, and that you were mistaken in assuming the nomination was orphaned. I understand you are within policy to fail without a hold, however, I am concerned that the rules of the Cup may not be aligned the best interests of the encyclopedia. I waited 11 weeks for a review; from my point of view, failing the GAN without a hold benefited one editor in helping make the cut to round 4, and the notes were very helpful, thanks again, but the fail without hold did not necessarily help the encyclopedia. May I ask, did you look for a GAN that might be failed quickly without fuss? If you had it to do over? 13.54.152.171 (talk) 21:45, 30 June 2017 (UTC) Thank you for your reply. Although not strictly required, as with many many things on Wikipedia, in my experience a hold of about a week is customary and an expression of respect by the reviewer for the effort of the nominator and an expression of our community's commitment to collaboration. I note the Cup is offering cash this year. In the Cup GAR category, why might a Cup participant offer a one week hold with less than one week in a round? Do I understand from your reply, that late in a round, yes, you might scan WP:GAN looking for quick fails or passes? Do you think there may be an unintended consequence in the Cup rules, that a Cup GAR favors a quick fail or pass over a hold late in the round? 13.54.152.171 (talk) 00:25, 1 July 2017 (UTC) WikiCup 2017 July newsletterThe third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine. Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed. As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).
