Bidi Bidi Bom Bom

Hello Jona:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Bidi Bidi Bom Bom has been completed.

I believe that a well-written article should impart information essential to a reader's understanding of its subject and that excessive detail should be avoided. Could I suggest that this article could be shortened, and greatly improved, if excessive details in three sections were removed?

Composition and lyrical content section: there are three cited references to the song’s cumbia influences; two of them could easily be eliminated. Only a few of the most notable critics should be included.

Critical reception section: there are numerous quotes here, many repeating the same thing – “infectious”, “happy” etc… I would cite only the most important author/publication and delete the repetitive comments. For example, is it notable that an Indonesian business magazine names it a top Spanish song? No, it isn't.

Cover versions – there is a great deal of detail for every version. Perhaps less important artists could be listed without the detail – you provide citations which readers can check if they wish more information.

In short, I don't believe that an article has to include absolutely every citation that can be found about a specific topic; only those that are most notable.

As mentioned before, I do hope that you will find the time to archive your URL citations. You obviously spend a lot of time on these articles and it would be a shame if they develop "dead" links.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:46, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist: Thanks for copy-editing the article and for your comments. I will go through the article and see how to execute your suggestions. Thanks, – jona ✉ 13:44, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Selena Singles Discography

Hello Ajona1992:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Selena singles discography has been completed.

Have a look at the article's edit history. I removed a phrase that made no sense in the context of the whole sentence. If you put it back in the article it needs to be expanded so that it makes sense.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Tejano Music Award for Female Vocalist of the Year

Hello: The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Tejano Music Award for Female Vocalist of the Year has been completed.

You will need to clarify what you mean in the following paragraph:

"Nominees were originally selected by a voting poll conducted by program directors and disc jockeys at Spanish-language radio stations in Texas.[6] Originally, winners were chosen by Tejano radio station KIWW listeners,[7] and later by fans of Tejano musicians in the Southwest of the United States.[8] Currently, winners are selected through a survey of 50,000 Texas households with Hispanic surnames,[9] though anyone with Internet access is eligible to vote on the official website page."

The nominees can't be originally selected by a voting pole at radio stations and by KIWW listeners at the same time.

Don't forget to archive your article's URLs.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Peer Review - GoT

Hi AJona1992, I hope everything is fine. I was wondering if you have the time.. could you take up(look at/review) the "Peer review" for Battle of the Bastards(Season 6, Episode 9 of Game of Thrones ("Spoiler alert if you have not seen the series")). I am trying to get this to a "Featured Artice".. (It has already been passed for "Good Article") and I need some one to review and tell me what to fix/do to make that happen.(Wikipedia:Peer review/Battle of the Bastards/archive1) AffeL (talk) 20:11, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Amor Prohibido

Hello:

The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Amor Prohibido has been completed.

I have to say, given the amount of work the article required, I am mystified how it earned a "Good Article" designation. I'm confident it meets GA now.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Request for GA reviews

Hi there! My mean is not to bother you, but—if you have time—would it be possible to review my GA nominations of short articles "Heaven" and Cliché (Hush Hush) (or at least one of these two)? The initial reviewers seem to be very busy or kinda semi-retired since there has been nothing going on with the reviews for weeks (even after pinging them). Btw, while I scrolled down your talk page to write this, I saw the comment from the copy-edit of Amor Prohibido where the user said he's "mystified how it was promoted to GA". Please don't think I reviewed the article on rush or something like this. I always give my best when reviewing pages, believe me .

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016-2017 GA Cup

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016-2017 GA Cup Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 4th GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 400 nominations listed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 4th GA Cup will begin on November 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers. We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on November 14, 2016. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. We apologize for the delay in sending out this message until after the competition has started. Thank you to Krishna Chaitanya Velaga for aiding in getting this message out. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Editor of the Week [12 November 2016]

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week for featured work on Selena and related articles. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Magiciandude submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate AJona1992 to be Editor of the Week for his contributions to Selena-related articles, including the article about Selena herself as well as getting No Me Queda Más featured article. The latter is the first time that an article about a Spanish-language song has ever achieved FA. In addition, he has been a very pleasant guy to work and I often turn to him for feedback whenever I need input for anything. It's for all these reasons that I believe he is very deserving to have the Editor of the Week award.

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:

On 1 January 2017, WikiCup 2017 (the 10th Annual WikiCup) will begin. This year we are trying something a little different – monetary prizes.

For the WC2017 the prizes will be as follows (amounts are based in US$ and will be awarded in the form of an online Amazon gift certificate):

• First place – $200
• Second & Third place – $50 each
• Category prizes – $25 per category (which will be limited to FA, FL, FP, GA, and DYK for 2017). Winning a category prize does not require making it to the final round.

Note: Monetary prizes are a one-year experiment for 2017 and may or may not be continued in the future. In order to be eligible to receive any of the prizes above, the competing Wikipedia account must have a valid/active email address.

After two years as a WikiCup judge, Figureskatingfan is stepping down. We thank her for her contributions as a WikiCup judge. We are pleased to announce that our newest judge is two-time WikiCup champion Cwmhiraeth.

Replaceable fair use File:Selena running.PNG

Thanks for uploading File:Selena running.PNG. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:07, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

March 2017 WikiCup newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:

• Cas Liber, last year's winner, led the field with two featured articles on birds and a total score of 674.
• Iry-Hor, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with a featured article, a good article and a tally of 282 bonus points for a score of 517. All these points came from the article Nyuserre Ini, an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh,
• 1989, another WikiCup newcomer, was in joint third place at 240. 1989 has claimed points for two featured lists and one good article relating to anime and comedy series, all of which were awarded bonus points.
• Peacemaker67 shared third place with five good articles and thirteen good article reviews, mostly on naval vessels. He is also new to the competition.

The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.

So, on to the second round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. 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 a good article candidate, a featured process, or anything 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 help keep down the review backlogs!

Hasta El Amanecer

I would like to add the YouTube views sentence back again, and I noted that you were the original creator of this page and removed it, so wanted to speak first.

My reasons are:

As Hasta El Amanecer's video is on the List of most viewed YouTube videos, it meets notability standards elsewhere on Wikipedia. Further, as Hasta is a fairly recent video and gaining views fast, it is rising up this list, getting more and more notable.

Every other article which relates to a video with over a billion YouTube videos has always had a comment on it in its article.

The sentence cited the YouTube video directly, which is the definitive source of the view count. This is the approach used by featured articles such as Love The Way You Lie.

At the current pace of views, it means I would update about every eight days, and this should slow down over time. I am happy to do this.

What do you think?

Tcamfield (talk) 19:08, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

@Tcamfield: Just because I created the article doesn't mean you need to come to me with anything, edit it as you may.

May 2017 WikiCup newsletter

The 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:

• Cas Liber, led the field with five featured articles, four on birds and one on astronomy, and a total score of 2049, half of which came from bonus points.
• 1989 was in second place with 826 points, 466 of which were bonus points. 1989 has claimed points mostly relating to anime and Japanese-related articles.
• Peacemaker67 took third place with two FAs, one GA and seven GARs, mostly on naval vessels or military personnel, scoring 543 points.
• Other contestants who scored over 400 points were Freikorp, Carbrera, and Czar. Of course all these points are now wiped out and the 32 remaining contestants start again from zero in round 3.

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.

WikiCup 2017 July newsletter

The 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).

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

WikiCup 2017 September newsletter

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win!

WikiCup 2018

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest?
