WikiCup 2011 September newsletter
We are on this year's home straight, with less than a month to go until the winner of the 2011 WikiCup will be decided. The fight for first place is currently being contested by 
Miyagawa (submissions), 
Hurricanehink (submissions) and 
Sp33dyphil (submissions), all of whom have over 200 points. This round has already seen multiple featured articles (1991 Atlantic hurricane season from Hurricanehink and Northrop YF-23 from Sp33dyphil) and a double-scoring featured list (Miyagawa's 1948 Summer Olympics medal table). The scores will likely increase far further before the end of the round on October 31 as everyone ups their pace. There is not much more to say- thoughts about next year's competition are welcome on the WikiCup talk page or the scoring talk page, and signups will open once a few things have been sorted out.
If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, 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, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. J Milburn and The ed17 12:27, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
New outline in your subject area
Outline of tropical cyclones has gone live, and is now in article space. Please look it over to see if it passes muster. Also, the talk page needs the appropriate WikiProject banners.
By the way, Outline of meteorology hasn't received much editing lately. (hint, hint). :)
I look forward to your reply. The Transhumanist 19:41, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
Please help fill in annotations at Portal:Contents/Outlines
Please go to Portal:Contents/Outlines' and fill in as many missing annotations as you can, even if it's only one or two. Every little bit helps!
The annotating of the entries on Portal:Contents/Outlines is nearing completion.
Annotated entries look like this:
- Basketball – team sport in which two teams of five players try to score points by throwing or "shooting" a ball through the top of a basketball hoop while following a set of rules.
- Canoeing and kayaking – two closely related forms of watercraft paddling, involving manually propelling and navigating specialized boats called canoes and kayaks using a blade that is joined to a shaft, known as a paddle, in the water.
- Cricket – bat-and-ball team sport, the most popular form played on an oval-shaped outdoor arena known as a cricket field at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard (20.12 m) long pitch that is the focus of the game.
- Martial arts – extensive systems of codified practices and traditions of combat, practiced for a variety of reasons, including self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, as well as mental and spiritual development.
Entries needing annotations look like this:
- Industry –
- Construction –
- Architecture –
- Machines –
- Industrial machinery –
- Robotics –
- Mining –
The links to the country outlines don't need annotations (they are listed by region).
Even if all you can do is one or two, the support will be greatly felt. Many hands make light work.
Thank you. The Transhumanist 00:35, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
