Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Houses in Logan County, West Virginia

A tag has been placed on Category:Houses in Logan County, West Virginia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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's policies and guidelines.

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:

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
  • Botswana 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
  • England 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, Denmark 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.

GOCE review of James Edwin Campbell (poet)

(I should note that in your copy edit request you asked about incorporating more material from a specific book into the article. I couldn't access the book, and that's not something that we typically do at the Guild of Copy Editors, so I wasn't able to fulfill that part of your request. Regards, Tdslk (talk) 20:43, 5 July 2020 (UTC))

  • Tdslk, thank you so much for taking the time to complete this copyedit! I thoroughly appreciate it! -- West Virginian (talk) 18:01, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

It's not necessary to leave me messages about these articles. If you'd like to have them deleted, that is fine by me. My talk page is littered with these messages, and I'd prefer not to participate in these discussions. Thank you. -- West Virginian (talk) 13:18, 30 July 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

  • Free Hong Kong Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
  • IndonesiaHaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
  • England 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!

James M. Canty

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy editors of the article James M. Canty has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I felt that the distance of Canty's farm from the campus was so close that the actual distance measurement and conversion looked odd, so I substituted them with a descriptor. I have not done so, but I would suggest you move the Later Life and Death section to just before the Legacy section. This seems a more natural flow to me.

Best of luck with the GAN.

Regards,

Missing cites in Wappocomo (Romney, West Virginia)

Hi, the article cites "Coleman 1951", "Rose 1976", "William and Mary Quarterly 1898", and "Rice 2015", but no such works are listed in bibliography. Can you please add? Also, suggest installing a script (explained at Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors) so that such errors are highlighted in the future. Thanks! Renata (talk) 01:43, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

  • Renata, thank you so much for your message, and for your edits to this and other articles regarding harv and sfn. I have added the references back into the bibliography in this article. Thanks again! — West Virginian (talk) 14:12, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
