Feel free to support or make further comments on this if you wish to; in general, you don't need worry about having to abstain on FLCs any more, as I'll be closing at least twice a week (if TRM doesn't). Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 22:29, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I have responded to your comments at this FLC and hope that you can return to check if I have met your concerns adequately and if possible provide your support or opposition to this article being promoted. Regards, Harrias (talk) 18:43, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

- If you could confirm that the issues at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of civil parishes in Somerset/archive1 are resolved, that would be great, although I think they do seem to be sufficiently addressed. Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 16:41, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. We've had some shakeups regarding late entries, flag changes and early dropouts, but the competition is now established- there will be no more flag changes or new competitors. Congratulations to Sasata (submissions), our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than
Hunter Kahn (submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (submissions) (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to
Fetchcomms (submissions)- his artcle Jewel Box (St. Louis, Missouri) was the first content to score points in the competition.
Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, 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, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

Biographies of Living persons solution?: Projectification
As someone who commented on the BLP workshop I created, please review this proposal to see if it is something that the community would support.
Harsh constructive criticism is very welcome!
Better to figure out the potential objections now. I am looking to remedy any potential objections by the community.
Thanks. Okip (formerly Ikip) 03:22, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

FAC concerns addressed. I know that there's a 10-day limit on getting a support vote before archival, so hopefully i can get a full review quite soon :).

- Would you mind if I just created a dedicated section for a bulleted list of FLCs needing revisits, as I did for The Rambling Man? I know I must be annoying you with all my requests, and it doesn't help that I comment in random existing sections rather than new ones. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:23, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I had that same problem when I used to review a lot, so I created User:Dabomb87/PRandFACtracker. "Perhaps a new section should be started following each time I archive the page." Sounds like a good idea. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:26, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I note that you have commented on the first phase of Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people
As this RFC closes, there are two proposals being considered:

I see that this is a pretty common reason people come to your talk page
But if you have the time, could you add support (or opposition, if that's how you feel) or further review Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2009 Giro d'Italia/archive2 ? Thanks. Nosleep (Talk · Contribs) 03:57, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Round one is over, and round two has begun! Congratulations to the 64 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our first round. A special well done goes to Sasata (submissions), our round one winner (1010 points), and to
Hunter Kahn (submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (submissions), who were second and third respectively (640 points/605 points). Sasata was awarded the most points for both good articles (300 points) and featured articles (600 points), and TonyTheTiger was awarded the most for featured topics (225 points), while Hunter Kahn claimed the most for good topics (70).
Staxringold (submissions) claimed the most featured lists (240 points) and featured pictures (35 points),
Geschichte (submissions) claimed the most for Did you know? entries (490 points),
Jujutacular (submissions) claimed the most for featured sounds (70 points) and
Candlewicke (submissions) claimed the most for In the news entries (40 points). No one claimed a featured portal or valued picture.
Credits awarded after the end of round one but before round two may be claimed in round two, but remember the rule that content must have been worked on in some significant way during 2010 by you for you to claim points. The groups for round two will be placed up shortly, and the submissions' pages will be blanked. This round will continue until 28 April, when the top two users from each group, as well as 16 wildcards, will progress to round three. 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; thank you to all doing this last round, and particularly to those helping at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly. Hunter Kahn (submissions) leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B.
TonyTheTiger (submissions) currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Although unrelated to the WikiCup, April sees a Good Article Nominations backlog elimination drive, formulated as a friendly competition with small awards, as the Cup is. Several WikiCup contestants and judges have already signed up, but regular reviewers and those who hope to do more reviewing are more than welcome to join at the drive page.

You opposed the FAC bid for the 1956 Winter Olympics article. You indicated that the fixes could be accomplished within the FAC bid. I made the suggested fixes and reviewed the rest of the prose and made some more corrections. I was wondering if you might be able to take a second look? Thanks!
