Commitments are waiting

Hi Royroydeb, I fully understand when real life gets in the way of Wikipedia, but two nominators RGloucester and Vanamonde93 are waiting for you to finish your commitment to them. They both have expressed their concern at the Good Article Help Desk, where I became involved. They had been waiting months for their reviews that you started and they don't wish to find a new reviewer now. GA Reviews should usually complete in seven days. Please return to Talk:Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Empire/GA1 and Talk:Bharatiya Janata Party/GA3 and complete your Good Article reviews there in the next few days if at all possible. Thank-you very much for your commitment to Wikipedia; your reviewing efforts are truly appreciated. Best of luck with everything, and cheers. Prhartcom (talk) 12:16, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

2015 GA Cup

WikiProject Good Articles's 2015 GA Cup - June 2015

Welcome to the GA Cup! In less than 72 hours, the competition will begin! Before you all start reviewing nominations and reassessments we want to make sure you understand the following:

This is a friendly competition so we don't want any cheating/breaking of the rules. However, if you do believe someone is going against the rules, notify the judges. All the rules are listed here.
If you are a new editor or new to reviewing Good article nominations, it is imperative that you read the 4 essays/guides listed under FAQ #4. If you do not understand something, ask a judge for clarification ASAP!
The competition is not entirely about who can review the most nominations. Per the "Scoring" page, there is different criteria in which you can earn more points. Theoretically, you could review 10 nominations and have 80 points but another user could have reviewed 5 nominations and have 100 points. Yes, we want you to review as many nominations as you can as this will greatly increase the number of points you earn, but you must also keep in mind that every single review will be looked over by a judge. If we find that you are "rubber-stamping" (in other words, the review is not complete but you still passed/failed the article) you may be disqualified without warning. The same applies with reassessments. If you just say that the article should be delisted or kept with no explanation, points will not be awarded.
Remember, to submit Good article reviews and reassessments on your submissions page (Some of you have not created your submissions page yet. Only reviews/reassessments submitted on your submissions page can earn points. If you participated in the 2014-2015 GA Cup, you still need to re-create your submissions page.). Detailed instructions on how to submit reviews and reassessments can be found under the "Submissions" page. Ask a judge if you need clarification.

Also, rather than creating a long list on what to remember, make sure you have read the "Scoring", "Submissions", and "FAQ" pages.

Now some of you are probably wondering how on earth the rounds will work.

The rounds will work in a similar fashion as the previous competition, with the exception of the first round. Round 1 will have everyone compete in one big pool. Depending on the final number of participants after sign-ups close, a to-be-determined number of participants will move on (highest scorers will move on) to Round 2. We guarantee that the top 15 will move on (this number may change), so make sure you aim for those top positions! Moving on to Round 2, participants will be split into pools. The pools will be determined by a computer program that places participants by random. More details regarding Round 2 will be sent out at the end of Round 1.

It is important to note that the GA Cup will run on UTC time, so make sure you know what time that is for where you live! On that note, the GA Cup will start on July 1 at 0:00:01 UTC; Round 1 will end on July 29 at 23:59:59 UTC; Round 2 will commence on August 1 at 0:00:01 UTC. All reviews must be started after or on the start time of the round. If you qualify for Round 2 but do not complete a review before the end of Round 1, the review can be carried over to Round 2; however that review will not count for Round 1. Prior to the start of the the second round, participants who qualify to move on will be notified.

Finally, if you know anyone else that might be interesting in participating, let them know! Sign-ups close on July 15 so there is still plenty of time to join in on the action!

If you have any further questions, contact one of the judges or leave a message here.

After sign-ups close, check the Pools page as we will post the exact number of participants that will move on to the next round. Because this number will be determined past the halfway mark of Round 1, we encourage you to aim to be in the top 15 as the top 15 at the end of the round are guaranteed to move on.

Cheers from 3family6, Dom497, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo.

To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michael Chopra, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thomas Ince. 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.

GA commitments (again)

Royroydeb, once again I have been asked to investigate your behavior regarding your GA review commitments. As you stated in your review at Talk:Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014/GA1, you are passing this review and listing the article for GA, yet the nominator has not seen any action from you regarding this. If you do believe this article meets the GA criteria, will you please follow through with your statement and list this article for GA? Please let me know if you are unable to do this. May I also suggest that you consider reviewing one article at a time. Thank-you. Prhartcom (talk) 19:11, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
