Good to see you around

Hey Tomica, it's Erick! It's been a while. I've been thinking about our She Bangs and looking at the sandbox, is there really essential info missing? I think it's good to go for GAN. Erick (talk) 02:09, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Hey Erick! Nice to hear from you =)). I hope you are well. Yes, I think it's pretty much ready. We should just re-write the lead, change the infobox to single rather than song, and maybe add a screenshot from the music video haha. The rest looks great! — Tom(T2ME) 09:04, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
And...done! I've nominated the article for GA and included you in the co-nomination. Would you willing to work "Vuelve" (the album) with me if you've got the time? I've been eyeing on that album for some time and it's another Latin album I think can reach FA status given its legacy. EDIT: I'll leave the screenshot to you since I wouldn't know which shot to use! XD Erick (talk) 00:31, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for nominating it! I just opted for a photo from the resort haha, didn't know what screenshot to include. Oh, yeah, I would be glad to help with Vuelve. Fun fact, it was my first ever physical CD that I owned. I was in love with "La copa de la vida"! — Tom(T2ME) 10:13, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
Great! If you want to start a new sandbox, I'd be open for it and I can gathering offline sources. I got Amarte Es un Placer (album) FA last year so I'm feeling good about this one. Vuelve is an essential Latin album of the '90s. Erick (talk) 02:19, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

  •   Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
  •   The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
  •   Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally,   MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). 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 your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Twofingered Typist Thank you very much for the review! I really appreciate it. I am planning to do some more clean up (table-wise) and nominate it for FAC. I would be really happy if you could potentially help me then with the prose if there are concerned users about it of course. Again, thanks a lot! — Tom(T2ME) 19:35, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Rated R promo.png

 

Thanks for uploading File:Rated R promo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:28, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Creating redirects

Hey there. I recently saw you creating redirects for the album Disco and the song "Say Something". However, it appears you made them before they were mentioned at either of her discography pages. Please remember to properly source material you add to target articles before you create redirects pointing to them. Thank you. -- Lk95 18:44, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Typically redirects are not listed on discography pages. It's so that the correct article title is created and doesn't conflict with articles with the same or similar names. Whichever correct redirect was created first should be used, and the latter deleted.  — Calvin999 20:27, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Rated R (Rihanna album)

The article Rated R (Rihanna album) 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 needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Rated R (Rihanna album) for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of SNUGGUMS -- SNUGGUMS (talk) 05:40, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

As soon as you resolve this, it'll be ready for GA promotion. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 17:16, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Rated R (Rihanna album)

The article Rated R (Rihanna album) you nominated as a good article has passed  ; see Talk:Rated R (Rihanna album) for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Rihanna videography

Stop fighting with me and don't revert my edits! They don't have problem, I can understand why did you do that, you're not owner of the article!!! Goth Girl (talk) 18:11, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

I am not fighting with you. You are removing sourced content. There's nothing wrong with it being there. She made a cameo appearance in the video. And of course, I don't own the article. No one owns any article on Wiki. — Tom(T2ME) 18:13, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

  •   Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
  •  HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
  •   Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.

Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

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. 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!

"Can't Get You Out of My Head"

Hello again. I just wanted to apologize for not being much help with the "Can't Get You Out of My Head" FAC. If you ever put it up for a peer review or another FAC, then please let me know. I'd recommend another peer review first (and pinging the editors who participated in the last FAC) to get everything sorted out to ideally prepare for a successful FAC. The peer review process seems to be more active than it used to be (and hopefully it either stays that or continues to grow in activity). Anyway, I just wanted to apologize for that. I hope you are doing well!

Hi Aoba! Oh, you were more than helpful. Don't worry about it. Just because some other editors disagreed with the prose, doesn't mean you were not helpful. I really loved your support and thanks for that! Baffle gab was kind enough to do a copyedit of the overall article and I am confident in its prose now and I am planning to FAC it soon. :) So keep an eye please! Hope you are doing well too. =) — Tom(T2ME) 09:16, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
I am glad to hear it. Good luck with the future FAC and I will be more than happy to review it again. I am trying my best with everything going on right now in the world. Aoba47 (talk) 16:42, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 November newsletter

The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is   Lee Vilenski (submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by   Gog the Mild (submissions). In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points.   The Rambling Man (submissions) was in third place with 4 FAs and 8 GAs on football topics, with   Epicgenius (submissions) close behind with 19 GAs and 16 DYK's, his interest being the buildings of New York.

The other finalists were   Hog Farm (submissions),   HaEr48 (submissions),   Harrias (submissions) and   Bloom6132 (submissions). The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2021 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!
