Congratulations...

... on opening up your new Wikiproject. If you need any help with templates, categories, etc., you can leave a note on my talk page. If you want, you can take a look at some of the advice I got before setting up WP:AURD - [1] & [2]. But one of the most important things to remember is that Wikiprojects are about people, not just project pages. If you can find someone equally passionate about the project and willing to contribute, that lightens the load/responsibility enormously, even if they don't share your opinion on all the issues you (collectively) encounter. A final piece of advice - we (at WP:AURD) used a bot to tag article talk pages for us, based on the category system. In hindsight, this was a mistake, as not only were buildings, people, statues etc. within the subcategories of Roads in Australia, but also the articles still needed to be gone through manually to give them correct assessment and importance ratings. Good luck on your endeavour to improve Hong Kong road articles! - Evad37 (talk) 01:42, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nevada State Route 28, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Highway System (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.

Citation on Nevada SR 582

I am curious about this edit in which you cited the 2007 Nevada State Maintained Highways book as a reference for truncating the northern terminus of SR 582. A 2007 version of the book was never put online (I download these logs as they come available and check for new ones regularly), so I'm curious where you might have gotten that... In any event, you put an access date in the reference without a URL, which wouldn't be correct usage. -- LJ  09:12, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

I requested for it online, and I'm sorry that I didn't know accessdates don't work for books without a url :S —CycloneIsaacE-Mail 16:57, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
It's not that the accessdate doesn't work, it's just that the accessdate is meant to signify when you last looked at an online resource (to show the date when it was known to be available online, since online links and resources can change).
Would you be willing to email the 2007 SMH book to me if you have it in PDF or similar form? -- LJ  19:24, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
I lost the file for some reason, might need to request it again :( —CycloneIsaacE-Mail 21:11, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!

Hello CycloneIsaac, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

WikiCup 2014 January newsletter

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.

Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.

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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Your GA review of Delayed choice quantum eraser

CycloneIsaac, do you realize that the cleanup tag that you used as the justification for a quick fail of Delayed choice quantum eraser was added 19 minutes earlier? Also, it looked like a drive-by tagging, with no specifics about how it could be improved. RockMagnetist (talk) 23:01, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Oh, I wasn't aware of that, I was looking through the nominations. Reasonably, I saw the tag, and I quick failed the article. For the tag, it makes sense because:
  • The lead doesn't tell what the article is about in detail.
  • The introduction's first paragraph is possibly too hard for a general reader to understand...
  • There are lots of jargon across the whole article...which fails WP:TECHNICAL.

Many parts of the article are too hard for a general reader to understand.—CycloneIsaacE-Mail 23:27, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

You would be doing the editors a favor if you elaborated a bit on that on the talk page. I agree that the nom was premature, but they have worked hard on it. RockMagnetist (talk) 23:32, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
How familiar are you with the various levels of difficulty within physics and within quantum physics? Why did you make a specious claim of all sorts of {{bs items being in the article? P0M (talk) 00:14, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
It wouldn't have mattered, Wikipedia is written for the general public, not just professionals. I'm just asking for the editors to make the article easier to understand...—CycloneIsaacE-Mail 03:11, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
The article was written to be understood by the scientifically literate, non-specialist reader of magazines such as Discover or Scientific American. The article uses not one single equation, and it is far easier to understand than Featured Articles such as Equipartition theorem, General relativity, Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector, Cyclol, DNA, RNA interference, Exosome complex, Group (mathematics), and Main sequence. The target audience for a Wikipedia article needs to be as broad as possible, but there are limits to how much a subject can be dumbed down. Why do you choose to review articles in which you have no background, no knowledge and no interest? Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 04:50, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
In case you would like to check the version of 6 february (excluded "Discussion") [3], would that be better understandable? (still excluding a "good article" nomination). It is quite different DParlevliet (talk) 08:46, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 February newsletter

And so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:

  1. Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer whose high-quality scans of rare banknotes represent an unusual, interesting and valuable contribution to Wikipedia. Most of Godot's points this round have come from a large set of pictures used in Treasury Note (1890–91).
  2. Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions), a WikiCup veteran and a finalist last year, Adam is also a featured picture specialist, focusing on the restoration of historical images. This month's promotions have included a carefully restored set of artist William Russell Flint's work.
  3. United States WikiRedactor (submissions), another WikiCup newcomer. WikiRedactor has claimed points for good article reviews and good articles relating to pop music, many of which were awarded bonus points. Articles include Sky Ferreira, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus and "Wrecking Ball" (Miley Cyrus song).

Other competitors of note include:

After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

NV SR 564 AADT

I don't have the time and resources at the moment to investigate further, but I'm pretty sure the 2200 AADT number for this route is misleading. It's an arterial roadway that connects to a major freeway interchange at one end. 2200 may be the average daily traffic at the entrance to Lake Mead, but isn't representative of the whole route. May need to dig deeper into the traffic count data for other count stations. -- LJ  05:33, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. Rhodesia Cliftonian (submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

WikiCup 2014 April newsletter

Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's United States ChrisGualtieri (submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included Rhodesia Cliftonian (submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and Washington, D.C. Caponer (submissions), who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from Canada Reid,iain james (submissions), tiger from Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and The Lion King from Minas Gerais Igordebraga (submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to Nepal Czar (submissions) and Indiana Red Phoenix (submissions) for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.

192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals.

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

1951 Hawaii cyclone

Hi! Recently, some edits you made to 1951 Hawaii cyclone used an outdated version of the {{cite journal}} template. It's no longer necessary to split the date into |month= and |year=; the |month= parameter has been deprecated; the entire date should now go in the |date= field, even if it is only a month and year (without a day). The change has been made in the RefToolbar interface; if you're using something else, please leave a note on my talk page and I'll see if I can get the developers to change the tool. Just a heads up for future edits! Thanks!—D'Ranged 1 VTalk 05:11, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 June newsletter

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C, Scotland Casliber (submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.

The round saw this year's first featured portal, with Republic of Rose Island Sven Manguard (submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to Florida 12george1 (submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from Idaho Figureskatingfan (submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from Bartošovice v Orlických horách Cloudz679 (submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of Republic of Rose Island Sven Manguard (submissions).

The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then.
