WikiCup 2011 September newsletter
We are on this year's home straight, with less than a month to go until the winner of the 2011 WikiCup will be decided. The fight for first place is currently being contested by 
Miyagawa (submissions), 
Hurricanehink (submissions) and 
Sp33dyphil (submissions), all of whom have over 200 points. This round has already seen multiple featured articles (1991 Atlantic hurricane season from Hurricanehink and Northrop YF-23 from Sp33dyphil) and a double-scoring featured list (Miyagawa's 1948 Summer Olympics medal table). The scores will likely increase far further before the end of the round on October 31 as everyone ups their pace. There is not much more to say- thoughts about next year's competition are welcome on the WikiCup talk page or the scoring talk page, and signups will open once a few things have been sorted out.
If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, 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, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. J Milburn and The ed17 12:45, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
King Charles Spaniel FAC
Hi Miyagawa - Just wanted to check in and make sure that you're still interested in addressing concerns at the King Charles Spaniel FAC... I left the beginning of my comments there a few days ago (and a couple of other users commented at the same time or just before), and in checking back today I noticed that none of our comments had been addressed or replied to. I'm happy to complete my review, but before doing so, I would like to make sure that you're still working on this article :) Thanks, Dana boomer (talk) 12:27, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

1948 Summer Olympics medal table
Hello
I am tryin to translate 1948 Summer Olympics medal table to pl.wiki. I have problem with Following the threats of a boycott from Arab countries should an Israeli team fly their flag at the opening ceremony, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) excluded Israel from the Games on a technicality. Can you give me some information? Protest was before opening ceremony? And what "technicality" was use to exclude Israel? I am asking because that sentence is not clear enough.PMG (talk) 13:32, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

(Note: This invitation is open to any interested Wikipedian — If you're reading this, and would like to be interviewed as well, please contact me.) Thanks!

Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.

- The Good Article Award: Yellow Evan (submissions), for his performance in round 4.
- The Featured List Award: Miyagawa (submissions), for his performance in round 4. PresN (submissions) matched the score, but Miyagawa won the tiebreaker.

No prize was awarded for featured pictures, sounds or portals, as none were claimed throughout the competition. The awards will be handed out over the next few days. Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work.
Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited to sign up and participate in our straw polls. It's been a pleasure to work with you all this year, and, whoever's taking part in and running the competition in 2012, we hope to see you all in January!

DYK: Ba'athism
I've responded to you're concern to the Ba'athism DYK nom. --TIAYN (talk) 11:16, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Fila Brasileiro page.
There is so much wrong with what is written there that I dont know where to start... First off the FCI standard is only used in northern Brazil, some parts of Mexico and by a few in the United States. The CAFIB standard is used and known all over Europe, the south of Brazil, most of the United States and south America and in Asia. The FCI standard has changed in the 80s (yet again) and what is written is from the previous standard...ie, the part about the fila showing agression being o.k...not anymore, a dog showing aggression will be disqualified with the FCI standard while the CAFIB standard still acknowledges and respects the Pure Fila Brasileiro's temperament. Please do some research and and either get rid of that outdated stuff and add the CAFIB standard or edit what you have to reflect the current FCI standard (who almost no one follows). BTW in NYC there are no "banned" breeds let alone the breed of Fila Brasileiro...only banned by housing authority (along with breeds like the Boston terrier), the Housing authority is low income housing or better known as "the projects"...since less than 1% of the population lives in projects in NYC you might want to fix that as well.

Welcome to the 2012 WikiCup
Hello, and welcome to the 2012 WikiCup! The competition officially begins at the start of 2012 (UTC) after which time you may begin to claim points. Your submission page, where you must note any content for which you wish to claim points, can be found here, and formatting instructions can be found in hidden comments on the page. A bot will then update the main table, which can be seen on the WikiCup page. The full rules for what will and will not be awarded points can be found at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There's also a section on that page listing the changes that have been made to the rules this year, so that experienced participants can get up-to-date in a few seconds. One point of which we must remind everyone; you may only claim points for content upon which you have done significant work, and which you have nominated, in 2012. For instance, articles written or good article reviews started in 2011 are not eligible for points.
This round will last until late February, and signups will remain open until the middle of February. If you know of anyone who may like to take part, please let them know about the comeptition; the more the merrier! At the end of this round, the top 64 scorers will progress to the next round, where their scores will reset, and they will be split into pools. Note that, by default, you have been added to our newsletter list; we will be in contact at the end of every month with news. You're welcome to remove yourself from this list if you do not wish to hear from us. Conversely, those interested in following the competition are more than welcome to add themselves to the list. Please direct any questions towards the judges, or on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck! J Milburn (talk) and The ed17 (talk) 17:54, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Oakwood (HM Prison), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Charles II, West Midlands and John McDonnell (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

i have Georgian shepherd registered in Holland. with every document. there is written Georgian mountain dog.... from 2009 Georgian mountain dog is different breed. and in 4 weeks there will be answer about transfering Caucasian shepherd into its ancient owner... 80% of COs dna matches Georgian dog's. and in fact Georgian Mountain dog was much earlier. think a little, isnt it unfair to delete my articles just because u think different?
