"Typical northern chucker"

I think there is a little on Crossland in Brodribb's book on the laws. Need to find it first, so it'll probably be tomorrow at the earliest; I'll check Birley's Social History as well. And just to point out, the chuckers all came from Lancashire!! It looks pretty good from a first glance. What about a little more on the Lancashire throwing thing in the 1880s; that was before the "Mold crackdown", and is quite interesting. Sarastro1 (talk) 20:20, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure your sources are better than mine for Crossland. I see you already have Birley and the Brodribb book is skimpy on detail. So it looks good for sourcing. Great job, btw. I struck lucky on Mold as Blackjack pointed me to an article in the ACS journal. That publication is available on CricketArchive, but I think you'd have to trawl through manually on the off chance there is a similar one for Crossland. Sarastro1 (talk) 20:12, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Bowling average

The trouble is, I'm not too sure where to go with it. It's one of those things that everyone just ... sort of ... knows. There are no obvious books or anything that might contain information, and otherwise it might just become stats heavy. For example, it is tied up with bowlers being credited with wickets and then recording runs conceded. Who first recorded the bowling average? Was it always decimal (I seem to remember seeing ones from the 19th century which use fractions)? What about how much credence should be given to it - before the war, I think it was not really paid as much attention to, and performances were judged on conditions, etc. Only recently has it become the huge deal that it is now. Not sure if this helps, but I'm really not sure what you can find. Tricky one, and I'll ponder some more. Having said all that, it's vastly improved on what was there before. By the way, I'm heartily sick of Archie right now and can't wait to be rid of him. I should finish in the next day or two (well, for now, anyway) and might have a crack at some articles on 1902. Fourth Test, 1902 Ashes series, anyone? Sarastro1 (talk) 22:00, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Scorecards

I'm still debating whether or not to tackle some 1902 match articles. Do you have any quick, easy tricks to do the scorecard? I've banged my head against this particular wall before and would like a nice simple solution. Help! Sarastro1 (talk) 18:29, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Actually, getting you to do it sounds like a quick, easy trick! I probably should learn to do it, but... I was wanting something like that, except with two innings. This is still a bit provisional as I may go for Gubby Allen next. Sarastro1 (talk) 18:41, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Oh yes, two innings! My eye test must be due! Now, that change of batting order may be a problem. If I do get around to this (and knowing me, it could be tonight or it could be next year when it happens), the first one would be the 4th Test (the Palairet one) which had a few changes in batting order. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Your help is greatly appreciated, and I'll let you know when/if I make a start. Sarastro1 (talk) 19:12, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Two unrelated points. First, as an admin-type-chap, do you think that British Asian Cup (which I notice has been GA nominated) is actually a notable article? I'm not sure that it meets too many criteria. I'd raise it at WT:CRIC, but you are rather better on notability and deletion and the like than I am so I thought I'd get your view first. Second, as a DYK-type-chap, I've just done some work on Alfred Jeacocke. I have little to do with DYK, but I'm sure there are several things in that article that are interesting enough for a nomination. If you want to steal it, be my guest, as I am far too lazy to venture into that murky world and it would otherwise just sit there! Sarastro1 (talk) 16:37, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

That looks good to me. And I've no idea about DYK anymore. I did a few a couple of years ago, but haven't touched it for a long time, so thanks for that. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:05, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Tupp Scott

Old Lanky is an interesting one; personally, I rather expect to see him editing as someone else before long, but that is another story. Regarding Scott, I'll have a look but no promises. I've had my eye on the article for a while, but there are quite a few jarring things about it, and I don't have the sources. I'd probably re-jig a little to take out some of the more idiosyncratic features, but I suspect it's not too far off. Give me until tomorrow evening and I'll see what I can do. Sarastro1 (talk) 12:33, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

OK, I've had a stab. I think I took care of most, although possibly not all, of your points from the GA review and gave the whole article a tidy-up and re-order. However, I have put a couple of citation needed tags on it, as what is stated is not given in the reference. I have no access to any appropriate information, so I've pinged Mattinbgn, as he had the two books used in this article once upon a time. If he can't help, we could either remove the contentious material, or just fail the whole article. In addition, some of the phrasing just leaves me a bit twitchy, and although I've reworded quite a bit, I'd like someone to check for close paraphrasing if possible. (I've added this to the GA review page as well) Sarastro1 (talk) 14:58, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

I think it's looking unlikely that Mattinbgn can help, so I've commented out the two unreferenced bits for the moment. Up to you where this one goes now; if you have any other points which aren't about the references, I'll see what I can do. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:08, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 January newsletter

Signups are now closed; we have our final 127 contestants for this year's competition. 64 contestants will make it to the next round at the end of February, but we're already seeing strong scoring compared to previous years. Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) currently leads, with 358 points. At this stage in 2012, the leader ( Grapple X (submissions)) had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years. 12george1 (submissions) was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a detailed good article review. Some other firsts:

• 12george1 (submissions) was also the first to score for an article, with the good article Hurricane Gordon (2000). Again, this is a repeat of last year!
• Buggie111 (submissions) was the first to score for a did you know, with Marquis Flowers.
• Spencer (submissions) was the first to score for an in the news, with 2013 Houphouët-Boigny stampede.
• Status (submissions) was the first to score for a featured list, with list of Billboard Social 50 number-one artists.
• Adam Cuerden (submissions) was the first to score for a featured picture, with File:Thure de Thulstrup - L. Prang and Co. - Battle of Gettysburg - Restoration by Adam Cuerden.jpg.

Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition.

This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points:

• Ed! (submissions) was the first to score bonus points, with Portland-class cruiser, a good article.
• Hawkeye7 (submissions) has the highest overall bonus points, as well as the highest scoring article, thanks to his work on Enrico Fermi, now a good article. The biography of such a significant figure to the history of science warrants nearly five times the normal score.
• HueSatLum (submissions) claimed bonus points for René Vautier and Nicolas de Fer, articles that did not exist on the English Wikipedia at the start of the year; a first for the WikiCup. The articles were eligible for bonus points because of fact they were both covered on a number of other Wikipedias.

Also, a quick mention of The C of E (submissions), who may well have already written the oddest article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to Fucking Hell on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery? The gauntlet has been thrown down; can anyone beat it?

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.

Dickie Dodds DYK

Hi. Thanks for trying to rescue this. I'm not sure I now understand the DYK process, which seems a lot more complex than when I last did one – and I'm not sure in any case that I now have the patience to go through the rigmarole that is being asked for. If you want to take it on, then please feel free. Otherwise I shall probably just let this one lapse and not bother with DYK in future. I had thought it faintly amusing that Dodds got himself a wife by catching someone off a long-hop... but DYK now seems to be a rather joyless process, and it's not that amusing. Ho hum.

Any thoughts?

I think I'm going to go for lbw at FAC next, and wanted a quick opinion. Do you think it needs a (brief) list of most lbw dismissals, etc, at the end of the article? Or leave it prose based as we are not a stats site, and there is a perfectly good source for all this here? No rush on this as it needs a bit of work anyway before it goes to PR. Sarastro1 (talk) 19:11, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I was coming round to that view myself on lbw. Hope you find the time to stick around and do stuff; I really enjoy the Somerset articles in particular. I can identify with hectic, but my available time tends to come in fairly regular patches. Also, I like to keep the writing up as I find it oddly therapeutic, so I tend to make time to do it. I think Taunton may be a little too far to go and watch us fail to bowl Somerset out. Again. (And to make it worse, my mind keeps going back to that damned 1901 match...) But you never know, particularly if the dates work out kindly. Sarastro1 (talk) 22:57, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Ha! (I actually need to re-scan that a little better) There are a set of pictures with this one. My favourite is to illustrate an illegal bowling action, and it is just someone lining up to throw with no pretence of a straight arm. There's also the same batsman trying to play a defensive shot to a donkey drop, so I'm fairly sure that the author was, to be blunt, taking the piss! Taken together, they're quite amusing and I should download the lot for period charm. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:54, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 February newsletter

Round 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.

Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:

1. Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), primarily for an array of warship GAs.
2. Miyagawa (submissions), primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
3. Casliber (submissions), due in no small part to Canis Minor, a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with Keilana (submissions), this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.

Other contributors of note include:

• Sven Manguard (submissions), whose Portal:Massachusetts is the first featured portal this year. The featured portal process is one of the less well-known featured processes, and featured portals have traditionally had little impact on WikiCup scores.
• Sasata (submissions), whose Mycena aurantiomarginata was the first featured article this year.
• Muboshgu (submissions) and Wizardman (submissions), who both claimed points for articles in the Major League Baseball tie-breakers topic, the first topic points in the competition.
• Toa Nidhiki05 (submissions), who claimed for the first full good topic with the Casting Crowns studio albums topic.

Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by The C of E (submissions): did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...

March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!

A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. 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.

Deletion of Tuxera Page

Hi,

A week ago Tuxera page has been put up for PROD, I have contacted the administrator, who was responsible for that but on his talk page it says that he is away until after the 25th of March. There has been a misunderstanding, the page has not been updated in a long time and instead of updating it step by step we have changed the text all together, which has raised concerns, since there were no references and there was an assumption of the article being overly promotional. Tuxera has a lot of links to pages already on wiki such as NTFS-3G, NTFS, ntfsprogs, comparison of file systems, list of disk partitioning software, exFAT and Secure Digital . I wanted to ask if it is possible to revert to the first version, so we could update it gradually according to Wikipedia rules.

Main Page appearance

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of the article Foot in Mouth Award know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on April 1, 2013. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/April 1, 2013. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man (talk · contribs), Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) or Giants2008 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. Thanks! Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 02:03, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

The Foot in Mouth Award is given annually to those who test the bounds of modern English through their language. Although the award was first given in 1993, special acknowledgement had been given in 1991 to a Quayle with a big tent; most recipients have also highlighted as baby-kissers and ball-chasers. Rhodri Morgan said his 1998 award "made [his] name", and has gone on to make no change for another award. A silver stone received the nod for finding light in the deepness, while a brown shadow was recognised for contributions to economics. Other recipients have literally been given the award for Campbell's Pasta, knowing, reading signs, and being inexperienced yet experienced, a fire-friendly mitt, or a giraffe called a snake. In 2008 a special life-time achievement award was given to a talking bush (pictured) for "services to gobbledygook", including succinct odes to hope and belief.

We are halfway through round two. Pool A sees the strongest competition, with five out of eight of its competitors scoring over 100, and Pool H is lagging, with half of its competitors yet to score. WikiCup veterans lead overall; Pool A's Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (2010's winner) leads overall, with poolmate Miyagawa (submissions) (a finalist in 2011 and 2012) not far behind. Pool F's Casliber (submissions) (a finalist in 2010, 2011 and 2012) is in third. The top two scorers in each pool, as well as the next highest 16 scorers overall, will progress to round three at the end of April.

Today has seen a number of Easter-themed did you knows from WikiCup participants, and March has seen collaboration from contestants with WikiWomen's History Month. It's great to see the WikiCup being used as a locus of collaboration; if you know of any collaborative efforts going on, or want to start anything up, please feel free to use the WikiCup talk page to help find interested editors. As well as fostering collaboration, we're also seeing the Cup encouraging the improvement of high-importance articles through the bonus point system. Highlights from the last month include GAs on physicist Niels Bohr ( Hawkeye7 (submissions)), on the European hare ( Cwmhiraeth (submissions)), on the constellation Circinus ( Keilana (submissions) and Casliber (submissions)) and on the Third Epistle of John ( Cerebellum (submissions)). All of these subjects were covered on at least 50 Wikipedias at the beginning of the year and, subsequently, each contribution was awarded at least three times as many points as normal.

Wikipedians who enjoy friendly competition may be interested in participating in April's wikification drive. While wikifying an article is typically not considered "significant work" such that it can be claimed for WikiCup points, such gnomish work is often invaluable in keeping articles in shape, and is typically very helpful for new writers who may not be familiar with formatting norms.

A quick reminder: now, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. 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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2013 April newsletter

We are a week into Round 3, but it is off to a flying start, with Sven Manguard (submissions) claiming for the high-importance Portal:Sports and Portal:Geography (which are the first portals ever awarded bonus points in the WikiCup) and Cwmhiraeth (submissions) claiming for a did you know of sea, the highest scoring individual did you know article ever submitted for the WikiCup. Round 2 saw very impressive scores at close; first place Casliber (submissions) and second place Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) both scored over 1000 points; a feat not seen in Round 2 since 2010. This, in part, has been made possible by the change in the bonus points rules, but is also testament to the quality of the competition this year. Pool C and Pool G were most competitive, with three quarters of participants making it to Round 3, while Pool D was the least, with only the top two scorers making it through. The lowest qualifying score was 123, significantly higher than last year's 65, 2011's 41 or even 2010's 100.

The next issue of The Signpost is due to include a brief update on the current WikiCup, comparing it to previous years' competitions. This may be of interest to current WikiCup followers, and may help bring some more new faces into the community. We would also like to note that this round includes an extra competitor to the 32 advertised, who has been added to a random pool. This extra inclusion seems to have been the fairest way to deal with a small mistake made before the beginning of this round, but should not affect the competition in a large way. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact one of the judges.

A rules clarification: 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 29/30 April, 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.

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members). So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers: Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available". Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497). Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 15:04, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

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. 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: 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 Hawkeye7 (submissions) 102 and 72 points respectively, while 72 points were awarded to 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, Casliber (submissions) and 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!

Hammet Street, Taunton

I happen to be working on Grade II* listed buildings in Somerset at the minute - I've started with Grade II* listed buildings in North Somerset simply because it has least entries, but will be getting to Grade II* listed buildings in Taunton Deane at some point. This is in preparation for Wiki Loves Monuments? The UK will be taking part in 2013 for the first time. Taking a quick look at User:Harrias/Hammet Street I think the first line needs to say England - as there are still a few people somewhere in the world who don't know where Somerset is. Where you have references to the NHLE with "No name for this Entry" I would use the location as the title eg for this one, I would call it 9-12 Hammet Street. Not sure about the capitalisation of "improvement Act". Should " 36 feet (11 m) at its narrowest point," include "wide"? Tracery and fanlight could usefully be wikilinked. I believe numbers less than Ten should be written out in letters - but not sure about that. Otherwise I think it is looking good - although I've done some architecture artciles & streets (particularly in Bath) I'm not really expert. There are some other suitably licenced pics at this geograph page (if you need help with importing any of them just shout). The architecture guru I ask for advice is User:Giano, but happy to help in any way I can.— Rod ^talk 17:11, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

If you want any photos to be included in the competition don't upload them till Sept (although they can be taken at any time). If you want to help with the lists see User:Katie Chan (WMUK)/sandbox where there are some script generated ones which need to be combined with the existing ones & then links, pics etc added. I'm still working on the N.Somerset one till I'm happy with the format & then will apply to the others.— Rod ^talk 17:36, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Great stuff - let me know if you need help, however I will be away in Italy from 22 July - 5 Aug so will not be able to meet f2f at the Bristol meetup.— Rod ^talk 17:58, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Grade II* listed buildings in Taunton Deane now has all the entries. I've done a couple as examples (where we have an article, where we have a pic & where we don't so if you wanted to have a bash at that list , it would greatly reduce my workload. Grade II* listed buildings in Sedgemoor and Grade II* listed buildings in Sedgemoor are more or less done - but I still have BANES, Mendip, South Somerset & West Somerset to do!— Rod ^talk 14:44, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 July newsletter

We're halfway through this year's penultimate round, and the competition is moving along well. Pool A's Sasata (submissions) currently leads overall, while Pool B's 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, 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 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 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 Piotrus (submissions), Hawkeye7 (submissions) and Sturmvogel_66 respectively.

Other than that, there is not much to report!
