Following the recent successful WP:FAC nomination of Juwan Howard, I am now nominating Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Tommy Amaker/archive1. Please come comment.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:26, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Could you come by and make some comments?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:47, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
I responded to your latest.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:32, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
At this point the nomination has 3 supports, one respondent who has said he is not doing a full review and you who has not stated his opinion.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:31, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

SheiKra FAC

Hello again, I don't know if you remember but just under a month ago you listed a bunch of improvements that should be made to the SheiKra article that was nominated FA status in this review. That review was closed due to a lack of consensus and I was wondering if you would be willing to leave some sort of opinion on the second review page just so the review doesn't stall again and can gain consensus for a decision. Thanks!--Dom497 (talk) 02:49, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

I have addressed or left comments to your points on the review page.--Dom497 (talk) 12:57, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

FLC question

I just wanted to know why my FLC was not promoted in your latest round of promotions. You've struck the only resolved comment you made and it already has 3 support votes. If there's something missing or anything that still needs to be addressed, please tell me. Cheers! —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:54, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

There was a question about what the title of the list should be that was asked only a day ago, so I figured waiting a few days for possible further input wouldn't hurt. I was very close to promoting the list, though. If nobody comments, it will probably go during the next run-through by one of the directors. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:36, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Nearly a week has passed and just one response confirming the obvious. Everyone's had a 28 days to comment, all issues brought up have been resolved and nothing appears to be holding it up. I'm relying on this FLC as I am trailing badly in the WikiCup, so a timely response would be much appreciated. —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:53, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello Giants2008, I am SoapFan12, the nominator for Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series for a featured list. I finally understood what you meant by alt text.

FLC closures

Hey Giants, thanks for doing the updates again tonight. I note we're now running almost on fumes for reviewers and supports, hence the slight downturn in the support required for a promotion. I'll apply a similar approach until we get more folks back to review etc. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:12, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Alrighty. I've always used four as my benchmark. Never mind. Sorry for any misunderstanding. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:50, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to read the article and provide comments and feedback on the peer review page. I believe I have resolved each of the concerns you raised. In particular, thank for the detailed feedback on the prose quality. Please let me know if you notice any other problems with the article. I'm planning to nominate it for FAC review once the PR closes. Thanks again for your help in that endeavor. --SkotyWATC 23:03, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I've fixed up the last two things. Thanks much for taking the time to double checking everything. Your review has been helpful and greatly appreciated. --SkotyWATC 01:20, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

FAC

Could you please look at Priyanka Chopra, which is now at FAC. You supported the article in its first fac. It has improved a lot since then. Your comments could improve it more. Thanks.Prashant 21:07, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, the above FLC has been on-going for 2 and a half months now. It has 5 supports, one comment of approval, two capped lot of comments and one oppose, of which everything was addressed ages ago.  — AARONTALK 13:34, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Chopra FAC

FYI, Chopra article is at the FAC. You participated in the first FAC and helped in its improvement. We would like you to look at the article and the FAC for further improvement. Thank You. Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Priyanka Chopra/archive2.—Prashant 18:06, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Your issues were resolved. Please, talkback on the Chopra FAC.—Prashant 04:12, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Another cricket PR!

If you get a chance, any comments you have about Archie MacLaren would be appreciated at PR here. No problem if you don't have the time. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:17, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Much obliged. If you ping me when you are finished, I'll close the PR and probably open the FAC. Thanks again. Sarastro1 (talk) 13:52, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Could it be withdrawn/closed at my request please. There's a note on the review. Thanks.  — AARONTALK 10:23, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

This is my nomination, please write a review. Thanks! Luis Nuñez 01:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey there, I was hoping if you can give me opinions and comments on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series/archive1 as you have done for Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series/archive1? ?

WikiCup 2013 June newsletter

We are down to our final 16: the 2013 semi-finals are upon us. A score of 321 was required to survive round 3, further cementing this as the most competitive WikiCup yet; round 3 was survived in 2012 with 243 points, in 2011 with 76 points and in 2010 with 250 points. The change may in part be to do with the fact that more articles are now awarded bonus points, in addition to more competitive play. Reaching the final has, in the past, required 573 points (2012, a 135% increase on the score needed to reach round 4), 150 points (2011, a 97% increase) and 417 points (2010, a 72% increase). This round has seen over a third of participants claiming points for featured articles (with seven users claiming for multiple featured articles) and most users have also gained bonus points. However, the majority of points continue to come from good articles, followed by did you know articles. In this round, every content type was utilised by at least one user, proving that the WikiCup brings together content contributors from all corners of the project.

Round 3 saw a number of contributions of note. Idaho Figureskatingfan (submissions) claimed the first featured topic points in this year's competition for her excellent work on topics related to Maya Angelou, the noted American author and poet. We have also continued to see high-importance articles improved as part of the competition: Wyoming Ealdgyth (submissions) was awarded a thoroughly well-earned 560 points for her featured article Middle Ages and 102 points for her good article Battle of Hastings. Good articles James Chadwick and Stanislaw Ulam netted Australia Hawkeye7 (submissions) 102 and 72 points respectively, while 72 points were awarded to Poland Piotrus (submissions) for each of Władysław Sikorski and Emilia Plater, both recently promoted to good article status. Collaborative efforts between WikiCup participants have continued, with, for example, New South Wales Casliber (submissions) and Canada Sasata (submissions) being awarded 180 points each for their featured article on Boletus luridus.

A rules reminder: 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 the 29/30 June, 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. We are currently seeing concern about the amount of time people have to wait for reviews, especially at GAC- if you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! 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.

WikiCup 2013 July newsletter

We're halfway through this year's penultimate round, and the competition is moving along well. Pool A's Canada Sasata (submissions) currently leads overall, while Pool B's Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) is second. Both leaders are WikiCup veterans, and both have already scored over 600 points this month. If the round were to end today, London Miyagawa (submissions), with 274 points, would be the lowest-scoring participant to make it through. This indicates that participants will need a score comparable to last year's (573, the highest ever) to qualify for the final. The high scores this year are a testament both to the quality of participants and to the increased focus on significant content (eligible for bonus points) in this year's competition. So far this round, both Sasata and Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) have made up over half of their score through bonus points, with, for example, high importance FA koala earning Sasata a total of 440 points (from a multiplier of 4.4) and high-importance GA sea earning Cwmhiraeth a total of 216 points (from a multiplier of 7.2). Other articles on important topics submitted this round include a featured article on the Norman conquest of England by Wyoming Ealdgyth (submissions), and good articles on Nobel laureate in literature Henryk Sienkiewicz, Nobel laureate in physics Hans Bethe, and the noted Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryū. These articles are by Poland Piotrus (submissions), Australia Hawkeye7 (submissions) and Sturmvogel_66 respectively.

Other than that, there is not much to report! 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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs!
