Article Name

[edit]

Sage! I've got a question. I've decided to take on the article for Mandatory_spending. It's terribly short and missing tons of information. However, I'm having a bit of a problem. Right now it's called "Mandatory Spending," which presumably could refer to mandatory spending by the government of any country. So if I want to write about mandatory spending in the US then it would seem to be better to create a new article "Mandatory Spending_(United States)." But, not knowing much about budgeting systems in other countries, I'm not sure it's even a term used outside of the US. If that's the case, could I go ahead and write the article exclusively about the US with its current title? Let me know if the question doesn't make sense. Thanks!

WikiCup 2013 February newsletter

[edit]

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

Other contributors of note include:

Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by British Empire 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Question on Courses

[edit]

I have a tech question / request. My classes (both the recently completed Summer course and the upcoming Fall course) haven't been showing up under my courses. Is there something I can do to add them, or is this a glitch in the system?

Thanks, Kirwanfan (talk) 18:40, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Kirwanfan: It's not so much a glitch as a major bug; we saved a lot of the serious development for the summer, so the system has seen some major problems while we rework some of the code. However, I think (hope) that after the latest patch deploys tomorrow, things should be working properly again. After that point, you may need to remove yourself as instructor and then add yourself again before it shows up.--ragesoss (talk) 13:04, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
