WikiCup 2012 August newsletter

The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:

  1. Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions) once again finishes the round in first place, leading Pool B. Grapple X writes articles about television, and especially The X-Files and Millenium, with good articles making up the bulk of the score.
  2. Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) led Pool A this round. Fourth-place finalist last year, Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, and has reached the final primarily off the back of his massive number of did you knows.
  3. Minnesota Ruby2010 (submissions) was second in Pool B. Ruby2010 writes primarily on television and film, and scores primarily from good articles.
  4. Scotland Casliber (submissions) finished third in Pool B. Casliber is something of a WikiCup veteran, having finished sixth in 2011 and fourth in 2010. Casliber writes on the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. Over half of Casliber's points this round were bonus points from the high-importance articles he has worked on.
  5. Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came second in Pool A. Also writing on biology, especially marine biology, Cwmhiraeth received 390 points for one featured article (Bivalvia) and one good article (pelican), topping up with a large number of did you knows.
  6. New York City Muboshgu (submissions) was third in Pool A. Muboshgu writes primarily on baseball, and this round saw Muboshgu's first featured article, Derek Jeter, promoted on its fourth attempt at FAC.
  7. Michigan Dana Boomer (submissions) was fourth in Pool A. She writes on a variety of topics, including horses, but this round also saw the high-importance lettuce reach featured article status.
  8. Canada Sasata (submissions) is another WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist in 2009 and 2010. He writes mostly on mycology.

However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle: Russia GreatOrangePumpkin (submissions), England Ealdgyth (submissions), England Calvin999 (submissions), Poland Piotrus (submissions), North Carolina Toa Nidhiki05 (submissions), Florida 12george1 (submissions), Cherokee Nation The Bushranger (submissions) and North Macedonia 1111tomica (submissions). We hope to see you all next year.

On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened. As ever, 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!

Adobe InDesign CS6

Hello. I know Adobe Illustrator Screenshot was updated but Adobe InDesign not remain updated. You can update it right now? --223.255.224.29 (talk) 04:35, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

I made the update following a request at WP:FFU. I'll see if I can come up with an adequate replacement for InDesign. —JmaJeremy✆✎ 06:23, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello Again Jma. Adobe InCopy CS6 screenshot was deleted,but can you reupload it?--114.79.18.121 (talk) 05:25, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

The two IPs above are sockpuppets of a globally blocked user, Rolandhelper (talk · contribs). In the future, any requests like this should be disregarded and the users reported to his SPI. →Σσς. 05:48, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you're talking about (I don't see these IPs anywhere on the sockmaster's confirmed/suspected puppets), but it appears to be a reasonable good-faith request for help finding an updated screenshot, which I would have no problem with. —JmaJeremy✆✎ 06:04, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Request for advice on stub article

Hi, I see you did some editing work on the Adobe Photoshop article. I am doing an academic assignment improving a Wikipedia article and my group chose Adobe Streamline(discontinued Adobe product). I was wondering if you could go to its talk page and make some suggestions on how to improve it since we are all new to Wikipedia. JawS001313 (talk) 01:46, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
