WikiCup 2010 January newsletter
We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. We've had some shakeups regarding late entries, flag changes and early dropouts, but the competition is now established- there will be no more flag changes or new competitors. Congratulations to Sasata (submissions), our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than Hunter Kahn (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions) (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to Fetchcomms (submissions)- his artcle Jewel Box (St. Louis, Missouri) was the first content to score points in the competition.
Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

Article on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
Hi, i have been looking for an Indian wiki admin for a while (i am still not good with getting around wikipedia). I was wondering if you could look into this really messy situation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rashtriya_Swayamsevak_Sangh Basically, there are 4 users who are bent on painting a positive picture of an organization involved in mass killings. They question the neutrality and reliability of each and every minor thing that is critical of RSS, from Encyclopedia Britannica to Amnesty international. I have already had a really lengthy but futile discussion with these people and unfortunately I have also been involved in an editing war with these guys. Before i started editing, the criticism section was about one paragraph long and was followed by heavy rebuttal of the content and the critics. I would appreciate any help in fixing this article. Thanks. Evox777 (talk) 01:09, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

India Loves Wikipedia
Hi, I guess you've had a chance to look at my mail to Wikimediaindia-l. I think you're the most prolific Indian Wikipedian in the online social media circles -- you can be the torch-bearer for the India Loves Wikipedia campaign. Looking forward to your ideas and suggestions. utcursch | talk 16:18, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

What would you do about this article?? WP:NOTDIR, WP:OWNERSHIP, WP:COI, self-assessed- High-importance? B-class with the only ref. Fallingrain? All edits except those of the owner are quickly reverted from a variable IP address. Probably costs a few rupees to have ones phone number listed on the Wikidirecto..., sorry, Wikipedia article.
