Hi, Jivesh I asked your help on List of awards and nominations received by Priyanka Chopra. So, would you please help me to take it to FA. I would be grateful to you. Thanks.Pks1142 (talk) 15:25, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jivesh, just a note to wish you Happy New Year. May these magical juicy strawberries bring you lots of luck and inspiration though the coming year and beyond, both on and off-wiki. Keep up the good work. ;-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 08:41, 3 January 2013 (UTC) |
Happy New Year!
Best wishes for the New Year! | ||
Wishing you and yours a joyous, healthful, and productive 2013! Please accept a belated thank you for the well wishes upon my retirement as FAC delegate this year, and apologies for the false alarm of my first—and hopefully last—retirement; the well wishes extended me were most kind, but I decided to return, re-committed, when another blocked sock was revealed as one of the factors aggravating the FA pages this year. Maintaining standards in featured content requires vigilance, dedication and knowledge of people like you, who are needed; reviews are always welcome at FAC, FAR and TFA requests. Somehow, somehow we never ever seem to do nothin' completely nice and easy, but here's hoping that 2013 will see a peaceful road ahead and a return to the quality and comaraderie that defines the FA process, with the help of many dedicated Wikipedians! |
Single Ladies
My apologies for not notifying you before, as I should have done. I have suggested at WP:TFAR that "Single Ladies" appears as the TFA on 14th February, St Valentines's Day. You may be pleased to hear that other people think that this is a lovely idea, but you may have your own views - please feel free to comment in the discussion. Again, sorry for not telling you about this earlier. Regards, BencherliteTalk 17:52, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
- Just to let you know that a couple of issues have been raised at WP:TFAR about the article's content; I've suggested taking them to the article talk page. BencherliteTalk 20:23, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Re
Hi Jivesh, how are you? I also miss you and our conversations that we had a lot. Actually I'm still every day on Wikipedia but I don't edit as much as I used to. Only same minor corrections. But I don't think I will ever write and expand articles like before. :D My love is love (talk) 14:59, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- Well actually it isn't. It's because my social life became better than before and I prefer doing other things then sitting in front of the computer almost the whole day. But it's also because of my studies and other things like that. What about you? Why aren't you editing on Wikipedia so often? :D My love is love (talk) 17:13, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
Main page appearance: Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)
This is a note to let the main editors of Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on February 14, 2013. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 14, 2013. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you can change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" is a song by American recording artist Beyoncé Knowles from her third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008). It was the album's lead single alongside "If I Were a Boy", contrasting Knowles' persona as herself and her aggressive onstage alter ego Sasha Fierce. Inspired by her secret marriage to Jay-Z in April 2008, the song explores men's unwillingness to commit, a topic that motivated Knowles to write "Single Ladies". It is a dance-pop song with R&B, dancehall, disco and bounce influences. According to the lyrics, the female protagonist is in a club to celebrate after a recent end to a poor relationship; her former lover is also present. The song and the repeated refrain, "If you like it then you should have put a ring on it", are directed to him. Critics praised the song for its smooth production. "Single Ladies" won three Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year. It peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The accompanying music video was shot in black-and-white and features the J-Setting dance choreography inspired by "Mexican Breakfast", a 1969 routine choreographed by Bob Fosse. The award-winning video has been parodied and imitated around the world. (Full article...)

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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Keep barfing on my wall and I'll barf on yours. You're my relative!--Aichik (talk) 19:38, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- Last time I checked, I did not have a relative leaving in New York. Let alone relative, I will never even consider you as my enemy. You don't deserve that much attention from me. Stay pressed. Jealousy related to Beyonce's success may become the reason for you live. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 19:43, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- Bravo!!! I see I have touched you where it hurts the most. Your user page is a religious shrine to Beyoncé, a rich pop star for whom you work for free, thus rabid fandom. Do you get paid to edit Wikipedia? Jivesh1205 (Talk) 19:46, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
RE: Help
For vandals (but what vandalism really means), spam, persistent copyright violations and, in general, disruptive editing, use WP:AIV. For improper usernames, WP:UAA. For edit-warriors, WP:AN3. For socks and banned editor, WP:SPI. For "reporting and discussing incidents on the English Wikipedia that require the intervention of administrators and experienced editors.", WP:ANI. For admin help, WP:AN.
If you are referring to a user who has been trolling and vandalizing, use WP:AIV, but before it is recommended to have warned the person before, either by discussions or generic warns. If the person is constantly disrupting, and a block/protection is probably needed, WP:ANI is the best place. If you need more information, you can contact me Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect?

How did you choose the list of people you left messages like this one?—Kww(talk) 05:15, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- How can this and this both be true?—Kww(talk) 23:29, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- Then why did you tell me a different story than you told others? You mentioned nothing about people outside the project when I asked.—Kww(talk) 11:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- The difference is that by being evasive, you've convinced me that your intentions were bad. If I see you canvass that way again, you will be blocked from editing.—Kww(talk) 11:56, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- The fact that you lied when asked how you had selected the people is pretty good evidence that you knew the way you had selected them was incorrect. If you message a group of people that you believe will support you, that's still canvassing, even if you don't ask them to support you.

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:
- Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), primarily for an array of warship GAs.
- Miyagawa (submissions), primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
- 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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Suggestion re: Beyoncé Knowles
Hi Jivesh, I've made a suggestion here that is aimed towards ending the current impasse. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 02:36, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
I Just Cannot Take It Anymore
What has been happening on Wikipedia lately? Some people get warned, others mistakes are simply looked upon or treated sympathetically. What kind of discrimination is this? Some remarks may not be very offensive but repeatedly using semi offensive comments directed to some members should also be dealt with.
I know I left messages on several editors' talk-page but that's only because it is the best way to inform you that I have brought something on the talk-page of an article. I have been assumed to be canvassing. Someone even brought up a past discussion on another article's page. And that someone is Aichik. He is seriously them most stubborn user I have come across. i have no adjectives to describe his language let alone his actions.
- He removes such information [1] [2] from a singer's page. Then what kind of information should be added on Beyonce's page? The number of times she goes to McDonald's per week? He even masked the information he removes through his edit summaries and yet no action is taken?
- He directs personal attacks to me. Calling me a misogynist and a rabid fan who stares at American pop stars boobs all day. Where is the logic in this? I am a woman hater who enjoys staring at women's genitals? Pathetic!!!
- And according to him, I have lowered Wikipedia's quality across the board. I NEVER asked for recognition for my wok but what the hell is this? My work is now being questioned in such an unpleasant way? Telling other users that I have lowered Wikipedia's quality across the board? There is a limit to all nonsense. Such remarks hurt a lot.
- Beyonce should not have so many articles being GAs because Jennifer Lopez and Diana Ross don't have? Pathetic!!! Why? Are these two legends or the most important figures on Wikipedia?
- Just Because you are 20 years old, you can't see how [an] article suffers from WP:RECENTISM? Really? Is this a way to talk to others? What does this mean? All under 20 editors should be banned?
- He asks whether this was English? It is crystal clear what his intention was here.
So many of his edits, comments, etc are pure examples of Wikipedia:IDONTLIKEIT. He trolls and does name-calling. After all this mess, no action. NOTHING. But someone has been hyper-active. The latest news:
So after years of devotion to this website, this is what I get? Even a forum like atrl.net has rules and reprimand such actions. How can they be overlooked to this extent? A warning is all one gets for three personal attacks in a single message, let alone all the other wrong-doings? Is this place still Wikiepdia?!! Jivesh1205 (Talk) 04:57, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- No, actually becomes more of Hellopedia, listening to some people's opinions, that actually don't know a THING about music related articles and they randomly do WP:IDONTLIKEIT... the Ugly Truth — Tomíca(T2ME) 13:38, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
If you can't take it anymore, take a break
You just have to be really careful, Jivesh, or perhaps take a break. Just because you have been on Wikipedia for awhile (working only on Beyoncé-related articles), does not entitle you to some veteran, know-it-all status on the subject. You started this. I made one set of changes on the Beyoncé article due to community-agreed upon need for article's GA reassessment, then you were down my throat. You are heavy on the wing-clipping, the snark, and the canvassing because you've become way too attached to the Beyoncé article you've been working on. One of the first things we are all told when we all first become editors on here is that we shouldn't become Wikipedia editors if we can't take changes to what we've worked on. And you really, really don't like it when people change what you've worked on, so I encourage you to take a break. It doesn't help that you have such a patrician attitude towards others you don't know (attack, "watch your tone," attack, then "I am not your relative"?) and that you have to win at all costs (the canvassing and the prior rant). Why not just start your own blog on Beyoncé? You then wouldn't be answerable to anyone. On Wikipedia, you are.--Aichik (talk) 16:26, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Re: 4
Hi there! Quickly looking through the article, there are still some spots that I think need further condensing (mainly Composition [I didn't want to remove too much and step on everyone's toes], and Marketing still looks to be unnecessarily long), but for the most part I think we're good. WikiRedactor (talk) 17:13, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
- Absolutely! I'd be more than happy to do that. WikiRedactor (talk) 17:30, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
- I've done some significant cleanup to those sections, how does it look to you? WikiRedactor (talk) 18:17, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
- My pleasure! Reading through the article, I learned a lot about the album; you really did a great job putting this together. WikiRedactor (talk) 22:04, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- I've done some significant cleanup to those sections, how does it look to you? WikiRedactor (talk) 18:17, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Original Research
Thanks, but such trivial info is difficult to find. Unfortunately, most of the remaining sources that actually point to a start date for the album's recording period have rather disappeared or are inaccessible without caching a page. In other words, those sources cease to exist. Knowles herself in a 2007 interview gave the December 2007 date, which coincided with early September 2008 articles noting completion of recording. Eight months of recording makes that August 2008, as September would be 9 months and the album was stated to be completed by September 9th. That video is the primary source, which was referenced by media throughout late 2007. Now that very video(copyright issues) and the articles cease to exist nor have direct links anymore. It is not easy to be working with expiring or dead links, that contain crucial information which can permanently disappear. Artists do not discuss date-related background information often, so one becomes a little bit desperate to hold onto any such info wherever found. I can only deduce that due to the eighth month is August 2008, as I am certain I read a source from August 2008 stating she was finish'ing'Bold text up recording. Can't retrace my steps however.Carmaker1 (talk) 00:31, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
refs
Hi Jivesh - Sorry, I should have left a note last night that I had not finished streamlining the refs on Beyoncé. The added publisher details are not generally used for publications and they just serve to weigh down the reference section with extraneous info. I'll work on the rest today - it's much cleaner without unneeded details like Jann Wenner's name. The wikilinks identify publishers and give all the info you;d want to know about a publication - the bio doesn't need it, and most other articles follow the guideline template docs unless there's a particular reason to include an individual publisher. Cheers.Tvoz/talk 17:25, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Jivesh, how are you? Its so long since we talked. Well Chopra FAC is going very slow. Please, would you comment here Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Priyanka Chopra/archive1. It would be helpful. Thanks.Prashant talk 15:41, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
- I'm also fine. Thanks jivesh and I'll definitely ping you if you forget. Thanks again
Stay calm, please
You've accused Aichik of lying in his edit summary, but it is quite apparent that he did not. I know you are frustrated with having people trim the article, but be careful with your language and be careful with your facts. I've warned Aichik not to attack you. In turn, you must not attack him.—Kww(talk) 15:52, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
The requests to block have been for both sides of this dispute. I tend to agree that his focus on the pregnancy rumours is misplaced. Can you find anything that isn't backed up by sources, though?—Kww(talk) 18:50, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Thanks
Thank You for your caring words. I think you are right. Well, I was just back on 12 March after Half a month later (That too because my next exam has a long gap). It would end on 25th. So, I will not be here till that. Thanks, for your words as that was so sweet of you. Prashant talk 15:53, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Long time have not heard from you
Hi my friend. How are you? Long time we have not talked. :D Jivesh1205 (Talk) 18:40, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- Hey!! I know— I hardly come on here anymore. Just way too busy with work and such. How is everything? Excited for B's upcoming album? I finally got tickets to see her in concert when she comes to Toronto in July. Soooo excited!! Orane (talk) 02:12, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
Copyedit
Alright, I've done most of the article. The writing was not in bad shape. Do you want me to do the cover versions section now or are you still working on that? Mark Arsten (talk) 16:01, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
OMGeeee
I loooovvveeee it!!!! Orane (talk) 01:43, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
WikiCup 2013 March newsletter
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!

Chopra FAC
Hey. . I have nominated Chopra article. Please, comment as soon as you could. Try to comment as soon as possible. I would be grateful. comment here, last time you didn't commented. Please do this timePrashant talk 04:30, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Aichik
I don't like the way things are going. I don't like the way Aichik conducts himself. I also have problems with the way he's dealt with by others, but I agree he's most of the problem. I don't see that he has crossed the line into blockable behaviour, though. RFC/U is the best next step.—Kww(talk) 03:56, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Re: Barnstar
That's so lovely, thank you very much! Tbh, I think we hit GA criteria a long time ago, and I'm interested in closing it ASAP. Are you going to the Mrs Carter Show, btw? —Jennie | ☎ 17:48, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- Your country looks beautiful! It's such a shame if she doesn't make it round to there :( Yes!! I live in the UK, and I will be seeing her on one of the London dates; needless to say I'm very excited. It will be my second time too! —Jennie | ☎ 17:58, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Standing on the Sun
I love it! And she looks amazing (especially, with Black hair). Personally, I prefer Grown Woman a tiny bit more, I think it's because her last album (although my favourite) lacked dance/contemporary R&B songs and I'm just really excited for more of that sort of stuff. Nethertheless, it's fantastic! What do you think? —Jennie | ☎ 21:19, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Beyonce!
Hey!, beyonce was in my country this month... My aunt took pictures with her. Miss Bono (zootalk) 13:24, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think so. I have poor Internet access so I am only able to be at wikipedia (no the other wikis). If you have email, i might be able to email some of them. i can't remember if we know each other. Miss Bono (zootalk) 17:03, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- I left a message for u on my talk. Cheers! :) Miss Bono (zootalk) 17:33, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
What was the name of the person you met at atrl.net?? Miss Bono (zootalk) 17:43, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- She didn't play a concert. She was here as a tourist. She wnt to Tropicana show (my aunt works as a tourist guide there and she was the only one who could take a picture beside Beyonce), she also attended to some fancy restaurant called "La Guarida" ("The Hideout" in English), she tooke a ride through Old Havana City in a cute car... Jay-Z came with her. Miss Bono (zootalk) 18:38, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- I enjoy her music, but not a fan, She is great. Take a look at my TOP List and you'll see my favorite artists Miss Bono (zootalk) 19:17, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Your email id
It is advised for you to not display your email id anywhere on wikipedia because there are literally hundreds of (non-friendly) bots searching for exactly that so they can keep spamming.
You are requested to get your email id permanently removed from Wikipedia history by requesting for oversight.
Cheers, TheOriginalSoni (talk) 20:17, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- Also you should probably request for oversight, and get that permanently removed. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 03:50, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Re: H&M Commercial
Yes I have seen it. It's amazing. I love the song and Beyonce's looks, especially when she has black hair. She looks amazing. Anyway, how are you? Do you want to collaborate on writing the articles when she releases her new album? I really miss our collaborations. My love is love (talk) 09:30, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
- I am also fine thank you. I have more time now so I will be on Wikipedia more than before. I can't wait for our collaboration. :D My love is love (talk) 07:57, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I think I have seen a lot. Rolling Stone, Billboard, MTV News all commented the song and the ad. There were part-by-part analysis of Beyonce's look and also reviews of the song which were described as a "new ground" for her. My love is love (talk) 16:16, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi!
Hi jivesh, how are you? Reply soon. Prashant talk 18:18, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
Re: Carter's Pop Billionaires
Definitely! I'm not sure if it's relevant to the lead, but definitely to either the "Personal life" or the third paragraph of the "Honors and awards" section, do you want me to put it in? Or do you? —Jennie | ☎ 18:34, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
- PS: Grown Woman video is debuting on VEVO next week! (According to VEVO Nederlands)! :D
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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Grown Woman
Hi Jivesh, how are you? Have you heard "Grown Woman"? I love it. I can't wait to see it climbing to the top of the charts. Anyway, when are you coming back so we can collaborate on the new articles for the album? :D My love is love (talk) 17:22, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- Well, yes, I think it is a bit lengthier. But I also think it will become a hit like "Single Ladies" and I love it. Can't wait to see the music video. :D
