Talk:Wipe Your Eyes/GA1

Tomica, it's been two weeks since your GA nomination was reviewed. Can you please address the issues raised there, and/or respond in some way? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:36, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Tomica. I currently have an FLC out for Taio Cruz discography, but reviews have not been pouring in, to put it mildly, and since I can only have one open nomination at a time I'm struggling to get other projects finished (it has been out for nearly two months now). I understand you're a busy editor, but would you able to give me some comments at the FLC, so I will know how to improve it and hopefully finally get it passed? Your ideas and time would be greatly appreciated. I Am RufusConversation is a beautiful thing. 16:29, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

I am actually busy in real life lately, lol. But if you can wait for like a week I can try my best then. Sorry but I have my stupid exams, so ... wish you luck. Cheers! — Tomíca(T2ME) 17:36, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

May 2013

  Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article, specifically Rated R (Rihanna album), may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Werieth (talk) 23:22, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 April newsletter

We are a week into Round 3, but it is off to a flying start, with   Sven Manguard (submissions) claiming for the high-importance Portal:Sports and Portal:Geography (which are the first portals ever awarded bonus points in the WikiCup) and   Cwmhiraeth (submissions) claiming for a did you know of sea, the highest scoring individual did you know article ever submitted for the WikiCup. Round 2 saw very impressive scores at close; first place   Casliber (submissions) and second place   Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) both scored over 1000 points; a feat not seen in Round 2 since 2010. This, in part, has been made possible by the change in the bonus points rules, but is also testament to the quality of the competition this year. Pool C and Pool G were most competitive, with three quarters of participants making it to Round 3, while Pool D was the least, with only the top two scorers making it through. The lowest qualifying score was 123, significantly higher than last year's 65, 2011's 41 or even 2010's 100.

The next issue of The Signpost is due to include a brief update on the current WikiCup, comparing it to previous years' competitions. This may be of interest to current WikiCup followers, and may help bring some more new faces into the community. We would also like to note that this round includes an extra competitor to the 32 advertised, who has been added to a random pool. This extra inclusion seems to have been the fairest way to deal with a small mistake made before the beginning of this round, but should not affect the competition in a large way. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact one of the judges.

A rules clarification: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on 29/30 April, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

GA review for "Tunnel Vision"

Fantastic work! I made little tiny typo corrections, because it would have been foolish to put in on hold for just those, and passed the article. Are you as excited for The 20/20 Experience (2 of 2) as I am? WikiRedactor (talk) 23:12, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the lovely words and the fast review, I really appreciate it. And of course I am excited for the sequel. I really hope there are more collabos there (maybe one with Rihanna too ;)). Anyway, JT is awesome whatever he releases. Cheers! — Tomíca(T2ME) 07:27, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

The article Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold  . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded for things which need to be addressed. jonatalk to me 02:31, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

It thinks you have incorrectly defined a named reference. Did you take a look at the help page? --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 14:25, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Was not helpful: Where can I find something to {{singlechart|UK|2|artist=Rihanna|song=Russian Roulette|date=December 12, 2009|accessdate=March 27, 2013}}? --Frze (talk) 14:44, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
I think I see the problem now. Swap the nowiki and ref tags around and swap the end tags around as well. It should then put the whole lot into a reference. --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 15:00, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Please be so kind and do it on Rated R (Rihanna album) - I can't, I tried everything. Thanks al lot. --Frze (talk) 15:16, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
I will be more than happy to do so when I get back from work :) --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 15:18, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Answered at Help talk:Cite errors.
{{Singlechart}} is not intended for this purpose. It creates a table row, so it needs to be included in a table. It also creates a reference, so you are essentially nesting <ref> tags, which does not work. Please read the {{Singlechart}} documentation or use another method to include these references. --  Gadget850 talk 15:07, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey

WHat is Bratislava like? I am thinking of going there.  — AARONTALK 23:46, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

It is small, but very beautiful clean city. It has a lot of parks, historical streets and buildings. Very very beautiful :). You should go ;) ! — Tomíca(T2ME) 06:55, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
I want to. I want to see some Eastern-European as I've done Western-Europe really.  — AARONTALK 16:05, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Maybe come little Southern... maybe to Skopje? lol It's not that good city, although it has good nightlife. However, I would suggest you to go to Belgrade, that's one of the best cities according to me... it's beautiful, it has good food, beautiful girls and a fucking awesome nightlife :D! I adore it. — Tomíca(T2ME) 16:20, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
I really want to go to Budapest.  — AARONTALK 16:46, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
We decided on Bratislava :-)  — AARONTALK 19:07, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Did u see this ? lol  — AARONTALK 10:31, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Lol I didn't. I see it now. Wtf is with this notification shit! Bring the old style back. Good choice indeed. I hope you have fun !  :) — Tomíca(T2ME) 10:34, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Lol yeah, the red mark doesn't go away even when you've clicked the new messages bit. I don't like how the edit button is next to the headings now either. Yeah i'm looking forward to it, what are the top things to see?  — AARONTALK 12:00, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Well, we were there for only one day, so we went through the main square. It's pretty cheap so you might use the stores in the center. You can might check the Slovak National Theater, and of course the Bratislava Castle, although we didn't have time to see it :/ — Tomíca(T2ME) 12:18, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Yeah I really like going to castles  — AARONTALK 15:30, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.

Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Views/Day
Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
Quality
Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Content
Is more content needed?
Headings
Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
Images
Is the number of illustrative images about right?
Links
Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
Sources
For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
