2016 GA Cup-Finals

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016 GA Cup - Round 3 Hello, GA Cup competitors! Tuesday saw the end of Round 3. Sainsf, for the third time, won with a sizable 487 points and a shocking 29 articles reviewed. In second, MPJ-DK had 168 points and 7 reviewed articles. In second place, MPJ-DK earned 168 points with just 7 articles, and in third place, Carbrera received 137 points with just 9 articles. Our two wildcard slots went to J Milburn with 122 points and Sturmvogel 66 with 101 points. In Round 3, 65 reviews were completed! At the beginning of the GA Cup, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 3, there were 394. Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue. At the beginning of the GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [1]; at the end of Round 3, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months [2]—nothing before 2016. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in the Finals for the GA Cup so that are successes continue. To qualify for the Finals, contestants had to earn the highest scores in each of the three pools in Round 3; plus, as well as the top 2 of all remaining users in all of the pools. For the Finals, users were placed in one pool of the remaining five users. To win the GA Cup, you must have the most points. The Finals started on June 1 at 0:00:01 UTC' and end on June 30 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about the Finals and the pools can be found here. A clarification: in order for the points to count, you must mark your reviews as completed; it's not up to the judges to ensure that all reviews are completed by the end of a round. We wish all the contestants the best of luck! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Students edits

One of my students is having a discussion at ko:남대문 전투 (see edit history). Maybe you could offer them some advice? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:32, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Done. (S)he is trying to use blogs as a source. This should be sufficient for you :D — regards, Revi 14:22, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

I explained it to them. Some of his sources are bad, but the content itself, and the picture and such seem good. Unreferenced content can be referenced properly later, unless it is controversial. If it is not controversial, I think Korean Wikipedia has an equivalent of Template:Fact (ko:틀:출처) that can be used for unreferenced sentences, rather then removing them alltogether? I couldn't find Template:Unreliable sources on Korean Wikipedia... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:28, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Her main problem was mainly using blogs as sources. Of course we can fix MoS/unreliable source issues later with local guys' help. ko:틀:검증 가능성 관련 정비용 틀 목록 is the list of "verifiablity-related templates". I can't see equivalent to Unreliable source. — regards, Revi 04:39, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Wikimania 2016: IdeaLab Workshops

Wikimania 2016 is almost here! Mjohnson (WMF) and I are running two workshops for IdeaLab during the conference, and you are invited to join us for either (or both!)

If you have a proposal or idea you are thinking about, and would like a space to work on it on your own or with others, please consider joining us for either the Thursday or Saturday sessions. We'll discuss a little about IdeaLab and how it works, and the rest of the time is space for idea building. You can also use this session to ask questions about Wikimedia Foundation grants that are available if your proposal or idea may need funding. Thanks, and see you at the conference!
