'''The goals of WikiProject Food and Drink:'''
* Consensus about the organization of food and drink related articles.
* Coordination of editing on food, drink, and restaurant related articles.
* Categorization of food, drink, and restaurant articles.
* Creation, expansion, and maintenance of food, drink, and restaurant articles.
* To help maintain the [[P:Food|food portal]].
'''What you can do right now:'''
* You might wish to add {{tl|User WP Food and drink}} to your userpage.
* If you haven't done so already, please consider adding your name to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink/participants|list of participants]].

Once again, welcome to the project!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on [[:Grey Riders]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Grey Riders|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]].

== Speedy deletion nomination of Cherryholmes III: Don't Believe ==

Hello Dfrr,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged [[Cherryholmes III: Don't Believe]] for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can <span class="plainlinks">'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={{urlencode:Talk:Cherryholmes III: Don't Believe}}&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion]'''</span>, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

== Disruption ==

Dfrr, I'm sorry if I come across as the fun sponge, but I'm not sure you're [[WP:NOTHERE|here to write an encyclopedia]]. I don't mind humorous banter, but it cannot come at the expense of improving articles. Your content work is pretty weak, being mostly minor unsourced changes to soap opera or sitcom related articles. I'm concerned that if you carry on as you are, somebody will snap and haul you off to the [[WP:ANI|Slough of Despond]] for sanctions, and that would be a shame.

The sample should have a value for the reader. It may be an important instrumental part which you can not just discuss textually. The rules are similar as with pictures.

[[file:C2014 Q2.jpg|thumb|right|[[C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy)]] is a long-period [[comet]] discovered on 17 August 2014 by [[Terry Lovejoy]]; and is one of several Featured Pictures worked up by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|The Herald}} during the second round.]]
The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|Casliber}} in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on [[Corona Borealis]] and [[Microscopium]] - both of which received the maximum bonus. 
 
Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.
 
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|Coemgenus}} was one of several users who worked on improving [[Ulysses S. Grant]]. Remember, you do not need to work on an article on your own - as long as each person has completed significant work on the article during 2015, multiple competitors can claim the same article.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|Cwmhiraeth}} took [[Dragonfly]] to Good Article for a 3x bonus - and if that wasn't enough, they also took [[Damselfly]] there as well for a 2x bonus.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|LeftAire}} worked up [[Alexander Hamilton]] to Good Article for the maximum bonus. Hamilton was one of the founding fathers of the United States and is a [[Wikipedia:Vital articles/Expanded/People|level 4 vital article]].

The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! {{User4|Figureskatingfan}}, {{user4|Miyagawa}} and {{User4|Sturmvogel 66}} 16:30, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2015 September newsletter ==

The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun!  Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.  

In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors.  The leader was by far {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}} in Group B, who earned 1496 points.  Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category.  Second place overall was {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|Coemgenus}} at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points.  Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.

The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been.  Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:

#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|Casliber}}, who is competing in his sixth consecutive Wikicup final, again finished the round in first place, with an impressive 1666 points in Pool B.  Casliber writes about the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy.  A large bulk of his points this round were bonus points.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|Godot13}}, second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|Cwmhiraeth}}, first in Pool A, came in third.  His specialty is natural science articles; in Round 4, he mostly submitted articles about insects and botany.  Five out of the six of the GAs he submitted were level-4 vital articles.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|Harrias}}, second in Pool A, took fourth overall.  He tends to focus on articles about [[cricket]] and military history, specifically the 1640s [[First English Civil War]].
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|West Virginian}}, from Pool A, was our highest-scoring wildcard.  West Virginia tends to focus on articles about the history of (what for it!) the U.S. state of West Virginia.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|Rodw}}, from Pool A, likes to work on articles about British geography and places.  Most of his points this round were earned from two impressive accomplishments: a GT about [[Wikipedia:Featured topics/Scheduled monuments in Somerset|Scheduled monuments in Somerset]] and a FT about [[Wikipedia:Featured topics/English Heritage properties in Somerset|English Heritage properties in Somerset]].
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|Rationalobserver}}, from Pool B, came in seventh overall.  RO earned the majority of her points from GARs and PRs, many of which were earned in the final hours of the round.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant6|Calvin999}}, also from Pool B, who was competing with RO for the final two spots in the final hours, takes the race for most GARs and PRs—48.

The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals.  They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.

Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

== WikiCup 2016 is just around the corner... ==

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2016 signups|sign up]]'''.  There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.

After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, [[User:Miyagawa]] has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiCup#Retiring_as_Judge stepped down as judge].  He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup.  Joining Christine ([[User:Figureskatingfan]]) and Jason ([[User:Sturmvogel 66]]) is Andrew ([[User:Godot13]]), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in [[WP:FP|Featured Pictures]]; he won the two previous competitions.  This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.

We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run.  In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and [[User:Cwmhiraeth|Cwmhiraeth]] have chosen to limit their participation.  See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiCup#Something_different_in_2016 here] for the announcement and a complete explanation of why.  They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.

The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring]] and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. <small>You are receiving this message because you are listed on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> [[User:Sturmvogel 66|Sturmvogel 66]] ([[User talk:Sturmvogel 66|talk]]), [[User:Figureskatingfan|Figureskatingfan]] ([[User talk:Figureskatingfan|talk]]), and [[User:Godot13|Godot13]] ([[User talk:Godot13|talk]]).--[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 06:46, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

[[File:Women of Britain Say - "Go" - World War I British poster by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee, art by E J Kealey (Restoration).jpg|thumb|One of Adam Cuerden’s several quality restorations during round 1]]

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. Forty-seven  competitors move into this round (a bit shy of the expected 64), and we are roughly broken into eight groups of six. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups.

Hello everyone, welcome to the June 2016 GOCE newsletter. It's been a few months since we sent one out; we hope y'all haven't forgotten about the Guild! Your coordinators have been busy behind the scenes as usual, though real life has a habit of reducing our personal wiki-time. The May backlog reduction drive, the usual coordinating tasks and preparations for the June election are keeping us on our toes!  

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2016|May drive]]:''' Thanks to everyone who participated in last month's record-setting backlog reduction drive. Of the 29 people who signed up, 16 copyedited at least one article, 197 copyedits were recorded on the drive page, and the copyedit backlog fell below 1,500 for the first time! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2016/Barnstars|'''here''']].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2016|June Blitz]]''': this one-week copy-editing blitz will occur from 12 June through 18 June; the themes will be '''video games''' and '''Asian geography'''.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2016/2|Coordinator elections]]''':
It's election time again; how quickly they seem to roll around! '''Nominations''' for the next tranche of Guild coordinators, who will serve a six-month term that begins at 00:01 UTC on 1 July and ends at 23:59 UTC on 31 December, opens at 00:01 UTC on 1 June and closes at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. '''Voting''' takes place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. If you'd like to assist behind the scenes, please consider stepping forward; self-nominations are welcomed and encouraged. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; remember it's '''your''' Guild, and it doesn't run itself!

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Miniapolis}} and {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2016|July Drive]]''': The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove '''April, May, and June 2015''' from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added '''July 2015''' (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever. 

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2016|August Blitz]]''': this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was '''sports-related articles''' in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/August_2016/Barnstars|here]]. Thanks to all editors who took part.

Greetings, all!  

We would like to announce the start of the 4th [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup|'''GA Cup''']], a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of [[WP:GAN|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.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/Sign-up|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/FAQ|FAQ page]] and/or contact one of the judges.

Cheers from {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, {{noping|MrWooHoo}}, and {{noping|Zwerg Nase}}. We apologize for the delay in sending out this message until after the competition has started. Thank you to [[User:Krishna Chaitanya Velaga|Krishna Chaitanya Velaga]] for aiding in getting this message out.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2016 GOCE newsletter. We had an October newsletter all set to go, but it looks like we never pushed the button to deliver it, so this one contains a few months of updates. We have been busy and successful!

{{center|[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2016|>>> Sign up for the December Blitz! <<<]]}}

'''Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017''': Nominations are open for '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2017/1|election of Coordinators for the first half of 2017]]'''. Please visit the election page to nominate yourself or another editor, and then return after December 15 to vote. Thanks for participating!

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2016|September Drive]]''': The September drive was fruitful. We set out to remove '''July through October 2015''' from our backlog (an ambitious 269 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of oldest articles to just 83. We reduced our overall backlog by 97 articles, even with new copyedit tags being added to articles every day. We also handled 75% of the remaining Requests from August 2016. Overall, 19 editors recorded copy edits to 233 articles (over 378,000 words). 

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/October 2016|October Blitz]]''': this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme was '''[[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''', since the backlog was getting a bit long. Of the 16 editors who signed up, 10 editors completed 29 requests. Barnstars and rollover totals are located [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/October_2016/Barnstars|here]]. Thanks to all editors who took part.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2016|November Drive]]''': The November drive was a '''record-breaker!''' We set out to remove '''September through December 2015''' from our backlog (239 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of old articles to just 66, eliminating the two oldest months! '''We reduced our overall backlog by 523 articles, to a new record low of 1,414 articles''', even with new tags being added to articles every day, which means we removed copy-editing tags from '''over 800 articles'''. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from October 2016. Officially, 14 editors recorded copy edits to 200 articles (over 312,000 words), but over 600 articles, usually quick fixes and short articles, were not recorded on the drive page. 

'''Housekeeping note:''' we do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Ombox|the GOCE's message box]]''' to your Watchlist. 

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Corinne}} and {{noping|Tdslk}}.

== WikiCup December newsletter: WikiCup 2017 ==

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.

<small>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.</small>
 
After two years as a WikiCup judge, [[user:Figureskatingfan|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 [[user:Cwmhiraeth|Cwmhiraeth]]. 

The judges for the 2017 WikiCup are {{User4|Godot13}}, {{user|Cwmhiraeth}}, and {{User4|Sturmvogel 66}}.

Signups are open now and will remain open until 5 February 2017. You can sign up '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2017 signups|here]]'''.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the February 2017 GOCE newsletter. The Guild has been busy since the last time your coordinators sent out a newsletter!

{{center|<big>[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2017|>>> Sign up for the March Drive! <<<]]</big>}}

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2016|December blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 December; the themes were '''[[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''' and eliminating the November 2015 backlog. Of the 14 editors who signed up, nine editors completed 29 articles. Barnstars and rollover totals are located [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/December_2016/Barnstars|here]]. Thanks to all who took part.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2017|January drive]]''': The January drive was a great success. We set out to remove '''December 2015 and January and February 2016''' from our backlog (195 articles), and by 22 January we had cleared those and had to add a third month (March 2016). At the end of the month we had almost cleared out that last month as well, for a total of 180 old articles removed from the backlog! '''We reduced our overall backlog by 337 articles, to a low of 1,465 articles''', our second-lowest month-end total ever. We also handled all of the remaining requests from December 2016. Officially, 19 editors recorded 337 copy edits (over 679,000 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2017|February blitz]]:''' The one-week February blitz, focusing on the remaining [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit from March 2016|March 2016 backlog]] and [[WP:GOCE/REQ#January 2017|January 2017 requests]], ran from 12 to 18 February. Seven editors reduced the total in those two backlog segments from 32 to 10 articles, leaving us in good shape going in to the March drive. 

'''Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017''': In December, '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2017/1|coordinators for the first half of 2017]]''' were elected. Jonesey95 stepped aside as lead coordinator, remaining as coordinator and allowing Miniapolis to be the lead, and Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators. Thanks to all who participated!

Speaking of coordinators, '''congratulations to {{noping|Jonesey95}}''' on their well-deserved '''induction into the [[WP:GOCE/HOF|Guild of Copy Editors Hall of Fame]]'''. The plaque reads: "For dedicated service as lead coordinator (2014, 1 July – 31 December 2015 and all of 2016) and coordinator (1 January – 30 June 2015 and 1 January – 30 June 2017); exceptional template-creation work (considerably streamlining project administration), and their emphasis on keeping the GOCE a drama-free zone."

'''Housekeeping note:''' We do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Ombox|the GOCE's message box]]''' to your watchlist. 

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Corinne}} and {{noping|Tdslk}}.

== 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:

*{{flagicon|Scotland}} [[User:Casliber|Cas Liber]], last year's winner, led the field with two featured articles on birds and a total score of 674.
*{{flagicon|European Union}} [[User:Iry-Hor|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,
*{{flagicon|Japan}} [[User:1989|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. 
*{{flagicon|South Australia}} [[User:Peacemaker67|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 [[User:Vivvt|Vivvt]] and [[User:The C of E|The C of E]], who each claimed for seven, and [[User:MBlaze Lightning|MBlaze Lightning]] achieved eight articles at ITN. [[User:Carbrera|Carbrera]] and [[User:Peacemaker67|Peacemaker67]] each claimed for five GAs and [[User:Krishna Chaitanya Velaga|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! Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

== 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. [[User:Yellow Evan|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:

*{{flagicon|Scotland}} [[User:Casliber|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.
*{{flagicon|Japan}} [[User:1989|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. 
*{{flagicon|South Australia}} [[User:Peacemaker67|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 [[User:Freikorp|Freikorp]], [[User:Carbrera|Carbrera]], and [[User:Czar|Czar]]. Of course all these points are now wiped out and the 32 remaining contestants start again from zero in round 3.

[[User:Vivvt|Vivvt]] submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and [[User:MBlaze Lightning|MBlaze Lightning]] achieved 13 articles at ITN. [[User:Carbrera|Carbrera]]  claimed for 11 GAs and [[User:Argento Surfer|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.
