WikiCup 2010 July newsletter
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Trophy.png)
We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (
Sasata (submissions),
Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by
Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by
Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition. If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

The Controversial Case of Visakha Valley School
Now where do you expect me to provide references from, because the thing is im a student of Visakha Valley school MYSELF. i can provide information because i will be knowing things that are going on in the school. There are no refferences to be provided as the internet doesn't contain any kind of information about the school or the things in it. anyway you are a Filipino hailed from the Philippines, so you wouldn't know about the school, if you still want to revert my edits you can, or please put my information back in. Anirudh Emani (talk) 13:21, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, I know nothing about your school, but please, if you wanted to claim things like that, then you should better provide references for that. I'll send the topic for peer reviewing.--JL 09 q?c 13:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Fine, you can send the topic for peer reviewing, but as i told you, there are no references to provide. Anirudh Emani (talk) 13:28, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- That is why I keep on removing it. The claims are very controversial.--JL 09 q?c 13:29, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- But the information is correct, anyway, shall i put back the information once again, but in a different section, the new section may be named as Student Claims, that too, only if you agree, what do you say?? Anirudh Emani (talk) 13:33, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- That is why I keep on removing it. The claims are very controversial.--JL 09 q?c 13:29, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- No I still don't agree. Those are controversial student claims, though those are student claims we need verifications such as newspaper reports or internet case studies that those things are really happening. If I'm going to believe you today, in the near future, other editor may delete it with the same reason. Better not to put those things if you cannot verify it as a truth.--JL 09 q?c 13:40, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Fine, you can send the topic for peer reviewing, but as i told you, there are no references to provide. Anirudh Emani (talk) 13:28, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, Lets all get this straight, whatever you say, i agree, these are controversial Student Claims, but true, im not going to put back the information anyway (until the references are made available, once they are, then i will put the info back.) I am going to add more (good) information to the page, tomorrow. Anirudh Emani (talk) 13:44, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of List of Pokémon (494-545), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://wiki.verkata.com/en/wiki/Eevee.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

Your recent Pokemon edits
While its ok to be bold, you could have discussed your edits with the Pokemon project. I currently have all the Pokemon listed here - (494-545),(546-598), and (599-649). I am about to leave for a few hours though, and I would appreciate it if you would wait and let me add this information the the mainspace myself. Because really, all the pages could have been moved directly from my mainspace. Now the first list can not be done this way. Blake (Talk·Edits) 11:15, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I got it done now. Blake (Talk·Edits) 11:25, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

That number is not verifiable or reliably sourced (Keldio, Meloetta, and Genesect have not been officially released in Japan). Having an approximate number that is verifiable and reliably sourced is better than having an exact number which is not verifiable or reliably sourced.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:15, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 October newsletter
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Trophy.png)
The 2010 WikiCup is over! It has been a long journey, but what has been achieved is impressive: combined, participants have produced over seventy featured articles, over five hundred good articles, over fifty featured lists, over one thousand one hundred "did you know" entries, in addition to various other pieces of recognised content. A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found here. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner! The 2010 WikiCup champion is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to
TonyTheTiger (submissions), with 2260, and third to
Casliber (submissions), with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists –
White Shadows (submissions),
William S. Saturn (submissions),
Staxringold (submissions) and
ThinkBlue (submissions). Also, congratulations to
Sasata (submissions), who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.
Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round. It was decided that the prizes would be awarded for those with the highest in a round, rather than overall, so that the finalists did not have an unfair advantage. Winning the featured article prize is Casliber (submissions), for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is
Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is
Staxringold (submissions), for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is
Jujutacular (submissions), for four featured pictures in round 3. Winning the topic award is
Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is
TonyTheTiger (submissions), for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is
Candlewicke (submissions), for nineteen articles in the news in round three.
The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

RE: Sharif ul-Hashim
Hi John, I'm not an ulama, I'm from Mindanao who's doing researches thru the internet. I'd like to thank you for the invitation but, I can't promise to devote my time..... probably just visiting quite sometime. Finally, I don't have books on the sultanate in Sulu, I'll try my best to find from my Tausug friends. Rammaum (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:04, 23 November 2010 (UTC).
Thanks Rammaum. I'd really appreciate your help. For a long time, I'd like to create article to Filipino royalties such as the sultans of Sulu, Maguindanao and the confederation of sultanate in Lanao Lake. It's just I don't have the ways and means to do the research, especially the texts about them aren't posted online.--— JL 09 talk (site)contribs 09:44, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
- It's my pleasure to work with you regarding on this issues, as I think I can help on the topics in Lanao sultanate. However, I'd like to know if you have a Facebook account. I have long time Italian friend, who has researches on the same topics. He has lots of materials too such as flags, symbols, seals & etc. we can use these with his permission. I scheduled to delete my FB but, I can reactivate it once you form a group in FB for further discussion in this regard. Just let me know.Rammaum (talk) 1o:32, 25 November 2010 (UTC).
BW English website
Just because the English names have been released does not mean the article Pokémon Black and White should exclusively use those names. Particularly in the promotion section where it covers almost only the Japanese release. Replacing "Tsutarja", "Pokabu", and "Mijumaru" with "Snivy", "Tepig", and "Oshawott" in that section is entirely unnecessary, as is your removal of "Isshu region" from the {{nihongo}} template. That and most of your edits to that page have been done in the style that Bulbapedia's articles are set up. You have to remember that Bulbapedia's standards for content are no where near the same as Wikipedia's, particularly when it comes to Japanese text.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:15, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notification. I would really appreciate if you contacted me through the article's talk page. And where the heck did you "realize" that I'm copying Bulbapedia standard? And apparently Isshu isn't Isshu anymore, I could agree that the official English names will be replace on the half of the article other than the promotion, but still I recommend the addition of the official English names. Especially to those non-fanatic readers, like they might say "Who the heck is this Tsutarja?" That may lead to confusion.--— JL 09 talk (site)contribs 09:40, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
WP:TFD
Dupe = duplicate. In other words, you listed the same templates more than once. Thank you for reverting my removal of the duplicates. 134.253.26.6 (talk) 16:24, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- Okay. Thanks. However, don't re-factor nomination by creating separate sections especially I haven't nominated them as such. Like what you did in creating another section for the soap characters, no matter how big the chances they are going to be controversial, please don't move them out.--— JL 09 talk (site)contribs 16:27, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- Anyway I am unfamiliar with the word dupe.--— JL 09 talk (site)contribs 16:28, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- Sure, it seems like a very arbitrary grouping, considering the very long TFD history for many of these. I suggest grouping similar ones together in the future, rather than a arbitrary split into three groups. 134.253.26.6 (talk) 16:36, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

UP Diliman Intro Text and UP System Template Headings
Hi! Good job on improving the UPD article, however the introductory text is a bit long and has too much information for that part of the article. I would suggest that you transfer some of the details in the main body of the article as a separate section (such as research, awards, ranking, etc.)
Also, for the Template headings, I noticed that you changed the font style for some but failed to change the rest of the UP templates. Meynardtengco (talk) 07:31, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
I have undone you closure of the above and relisted it to get more input. Mo ainm~Talk 19:15, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Re: Luções
Thanks John, I see your point. I intended only to relate the article with its historic background. So what is your suggestion to address the Portuguese related background of Luções? Because the way it is categorized now that background would never be reached. Thanks--Uxbona (talk) 10:53, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. I am thinking of Category:Places named by Portuguese explorers but there is none yet. Essentially, it's just a historical place naming for the island, much like Formosa.--— JL 09 talkcontribs 11:31, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
