Welcome to the 2013 WikiCup
[edit]Hello, Status, and welcome to the 2013 WikiCup! Your submissions' page is here. The first round will last until the end of February, at which point the top 64 scorers will advance to the second round. We will be in touch at the end of every month, and signups are going to remain open until the end of January; if you know of anyone else who may like to take part, please let them know! A few reminders:
- The rules can be found here. There have been a few changes from last year, which are listed on that page.
- Anything you submit must have been nominated and promoted in 2013, and you need to have completed significant work upon it in 2013. (The articles you review at good article reviews does not need to have been nominated in 2013, but you do need to have started and completed the review in 2013.) We will be checking.
- If you feel that another competitor is breaking the rules or abusing the competition in some way, please let a judge know. Please do not remove entries from the submissions' pages of others yourself.
- Don't worry about calculating precisely how many points everything is worth. The bot will do that. The bot may occasionally get something wrong- let a judge know, or post on the WikiCup talk page if that happens.
- Please try to be prompt in updating submissions' pages so that they can be double-checked.
Overall, however, don't worry, and have fun. It doesn't matter if you make the odd mistake; these things happen. Questions can be asked on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck! J Milburn and The ed17 13:00, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
RfAs
[edit]Hi Sandy, I noticed you've struck the votes of User:MathewTownsend, while I understand why you're doing it, I don't think it's the appropriate thing to do, the RfAs have already been closed and reflect the state of the RfA back whenever the 'crat closed; as the closing 'crat likely took into consideration that vote, I think striking it is a bit misleading :) Snowolf How can I help? 00:55, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- So, what's the usual in similar cases? Maybe indicate it's a sock without striking? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:56, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- That matters in a closed RFA because...? — Statυs (talk, contribs) 01:03, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- Status, I don't who the heck you are or why you're popping up in these conversations, but you smell like a stinky sock to me, so bug off. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:44, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- Why don't you put me in the washer and find out then? If you actually think just because someone thinks that it's stupid to go and strike out every comment from a sock that I must be one of them... — Statυs (talk, contribs) 01:54, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- I don't know what's the normal practice I'm afraid :D Snowolf How can I help? 01:59, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- Nothing. Unless you think, for some reason, the RFA only went through because of said sock. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 02:03, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Your behaviour on talk pages, again
[edit]I've removed the section that you copied from User:SandyGeorgia's talk page. Your talk page is not a webhost for you to post any old material you wish, especially when done solely to harass another editor. I assume you were irritated by her removal of your comments (as she is perfectly entitled to do), which in themselves were unhelpful and completely unnecessary, from a thread on her talk page, and so re-posted them here to set the record straight. That is not ok.
This is the second time in a few days I've had to tidy up dirty tricks you've played on talk pages. Three strikes and you will be blocked. Like I said last time, it's time to head back to the article namespace. Basalisk inspect damage⁄berate 03:10, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- I can post any such discussion if I feel so damn well fit on my talk page. I didn't revert her deleting my comments, I moved them to mine, as I would like to have it as an archive. "Dirty tricks"? I advise you to move along. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 03:13, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- I left a simple comment on her talk, in which she in tern accused me of being a sock of a user she hasn't stopped bitching about for days. If moving that discussion to my own talk is against some guideline, please, feel free to block me. Try me. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 03:16, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- I advise you to review WP:TALKNO and WP:NOTSOCIALNETWORK and kindly revert yourself. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 03:25, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- I think the most relevant guideline is WP:OWNTALK which describes how all user talk discussion should be aimed at improving the encyclopaedia. Surely even you would agree to that. Look, I didn't come here to give you some sort of silly dressing down or tap on the wrist. I simply came to tell you to stop, and if in warning you that I would block you if you continued I came across as authoritarian then I apologise (and you may find the discussion on my talk page started by another editor about this relevant). However my original statement still stands. I simply think it's best for you to let this go - porting a discussion onto your talk page just to wind someone else up, however tangentially, just isn't constructive. If you don't think what I just said is reasonable, then I'll get someone else to look at the situation. Alternatively we can all shake hands and move on, it's up to you. Basalisk inspect damage⁄berate 03:35, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- And? If I want to archive a discussion in which a user was being extremely rude to me for my archives, I am entitled to do that. Yes, I saw your response on your talk page, and it seems like you believe that I can't simply comment on someone else's talk page. I am not the one who brought on the attack. You are saying two completely different things. You threaten with a block, but also advising me to let a discussion go (which I already did, the two times you actually gave me a "warning".) Oh, and how am I being childish? Simply responding to people is childish now? This seems like a status issue to me (no pun intended). Again, if you don't revert yourself, I will. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 03:43, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- Of course I think you're well within your right to respond to comments aimed at you, but after you responded she then removed without commenting further. I have to be completely honest - I do think that you making a copy of the already-concluded discussion here was childish, as it serves no purpose other than to score points. Look, if you really wanted an archive of the little exchange, then you could have just put it in your archive, instead of posting it here where you knew she was likely to read it. I've been as reasonable as I can be here - I've apologised for the tone of my initial post here, and tried to have a good-mannered discussion with you subsequent to that. However, the substance of my initial concern remains, and I won't be reverting. I think I have said all I have to say. Basalisk inspect damage⁄berate 03:55, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, I've just read your comment on my talk page, and how about this - forget my initial comment, I am asking you, please, don't make all this horrible mess any worse by winding people up on talk pages. You're bigger than that, you have more to offer this project than that and it will help everyone if you simply let it go (the same could be said for everyone else). I had no intention to "single you out" and apologise if it felt that way. Basalisk inspect damage⁄berate 03:58, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) For the record, I don't display them publicly, but I have archives of every discussion that ever occurred on my talk page, as well as several other notable discussions I copied to my talk. I archive discussions at a quick rate, so it would have been archived tomorrow, anyway. I accept your apology, and have responded on your talk page. I will be archiving my talk page now. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 03:59, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Finally
[edit]Thanks for your understanding. For the record, I think what you've done there putting it in that archive page, is fine. See you around Basalisk inspect damage⁄berate 04:04, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- No problem. Yes, I can assure you I wasn't trying to start anything more by adding it to my talk. As I said, I archive everything usually at once after a few days. See ya! — Statυs (talk, contribs) 04:07, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- Nice to see this have been solved. — ΛΧΣ21 04:10, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

My bad. Someone left a comment on my talk page regarding the Disco. so I went to look at it and saw a ton of IP edits (including countries → type of certification, which I did not know was the correct style until now) and a reference nightmare followed by reverts by a couple different editors within the past 24 hours, I figured it was all vandalism and reverted it. I guess there's much more value in those edits than originally thought! ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 01:06, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Discography charts
[edit]Zach, is it necessary that we use the same charts on both album and single sections in a discography? It's the first time I'm hearing this and Till told me to ask you. 五代 (talk) 11:49, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Hey, sorry I forgot Lol! D: Would u still be whiling to do it again? Arre 23:21, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- Of course I would.
I've got some free time now, just saying. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 23:22, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- Okay I'll make a few adjustments and then re nominate it. Also, why are you insistent on this move? It's unnecessarily. Just makes the title longer and annoying. Arre 23:24, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I understand it's longer, but the article is about characters that first appeared in 2013, not every character that was on the show in 2013. The title is misleading. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 23:25, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- I know what you mean, but imo it's unnecessary and nobody in the hundreds of year by soap character articles have used it. I'll ask around for other opinions. Also did you here a rumor that Jen's new album will be titled Infinite..?Arre 23:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- Can you point me towards any of such articles that are GA?
No, I didn't hear that! — Statυs (talk, contribs) 23:35, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think anyone has ever nominated them for "GA", because they classify them as lists. If they were articles, majority of them would be GA. They are just listed as "List-Class". Still sort of unsure why you don't think they are lists. 23:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- They aren't lists. A list involves a table. They are all prose, they would be nominated for GA. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 23:47, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- I believe they are lists because they are a chronological timeline, just of character profiles and are not in tables. But I get you and sorta agree. Arre 23:53, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- It does indeed list the characters, but it would qualify for GA because it's all prose and no tables. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 23:54, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- Mostly all of those (other soaps) have tables for minor characters. I have added a few tables for Y&R character articles but have yet to add any tables for 2013. Arre 00:00, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- Even if it has a little table in it, it's still not a list. Albums and songs have tables for release histories do they not? — Statυs (talk, contribs) 00:02, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- Meh never mind anyway a ha as I said I'm sorta of bored of soaps. I want to focus on Jenny-related stuff for a few weeks:) Arre 00:01, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

I already uploaded the image file of J.Lo on the People cover so I'm hoping to include the 'celebrity status' section in her main article within the next fews days. Any thoughts on this sandbox I've been working on? Too long? Should i include rough dates (Like In June 1942 she won this, In April 1974 she was, that sort of thing?) for the awards/recognition info. I hope you're still online. Arre 00:20, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- It looks much better than it was before. I don't think so, it looks fine to me! I say it's time to be added back into the article. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 00:22, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- There, just added it :) What'you think? Arre 00:27, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- I think it's great. 152kb... our aim is for 150, and I'm sure we will be able to get there. Once I finish cleaning up a few of the life and career sections. Choreography and music videos needs some work, do you wanna work on that? Other than that and a few life and career sections, the article is practically done. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 00:29, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- Do you want me to expand or reduce choreography/music videos, or just fix it up? Arre 00:32, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- I think it covers her most important videos, it just needs some copyediting and reorganizing. Also need to choose a music video to show as an image. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 00:33, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- Since Bennifer was still going on in 2003 (and she didn't do that much in 2003), I've merged it in with 2001/02. Now, 2004/06 does not have that much information. It needs one more paragraph, but I can't think of anything else that needs to be added. Do you know anything else she did in those years that could be added to the article? — Statυs (talk, contribs) 00:57, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hmm sorry but I'm not too sure. I think it covers all the important stuff she did, sorry :\ Btw, for the music videos section should I include what year every video was in? Arre 01:00, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- Damn! Well, "J.Lo, The Wedding Planner, This Is Me... Then and Bennifer (2001–03)" is the only section now that needs re-writing. Once that is done, I'll see if there is any more shuffling around of sections that I can do. Yeah, include the years. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 01:02, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'm thinking of changing it to "Music videos and performance" and include info about her stage performing. What do u think? No use? Arre 01:18, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- Well, now that she has toured, why the hell not? — Statυs (talk, contribs) 01:19, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

How to nominate a DYK?

Cruel Summer
[edit]I reverted your recent move of Cruel Summer (GOOD Music album), as it was a point briefly brought up in a past consensus/page move, along with whether it is a compilation or studio album. I explained it more at the talk page and think more comments/a more definitive consensus would be useful. Dan56 (talk) 02:36, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

I have a few school projects to do this weekend and on Monday I'll have school and work. Tuesday fits perfectly with my schedule. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 07:55, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- Well I found some time in between previously scheduled items. Actually I had a lot of time, since I over-budgeted for one of the items rather dramatically. Whenever you've got the time. I'm in no rush. Sven Manguard Wha? 01:13, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Belated congratulations on reaching the milestone of twenty-five of your articles featured in the Did you know... column of the Main Page! Your efforts are on the record and are greatly appreciated. Moonraker (talk) 23:30, 21 January 2013 (UTC) |

The user removed well sourced classifications past tenth place. You also reverted my corrections, such as describing Walter Villa as Venezuelan when he is Italian. Stating the positions do not require sourcing in the lead as they are clearly sourced later on. By reverting my reversion, the article is demonstrably less accurate. If you want to change the infobox, take it to the WikiProject and get consensus to do it. If you want to change the way the race articles are presented, take it to the WikiProject too because we have lots of motorcycle Grand Prix articles that would have to be edited if that was the case. I reverted Hahc21's edit as it added nothing to the article, barring a couple of pictures and a badly written lead. Readro (talk) 10:58, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- That's what the talk page is for, you don't go and revert every single edit somebody made to the article. Especially when they are a long-time contributor, that is just plain disrespectful. I'm not the one who edited the article, you don't argue you with, you argue with them. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 13:45, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Re
[edit]I have not been abusing you, and you have been swearing at me which I have already reported you on AIV and you shall be receiving a warning soon. You just got annoyed that I found out about the single before you and you didn't like me editing the discography. Now I've prov=ved to you it is a single, you decided to merge the "featured artists" and normal singles together to so you get full credit. This shows how immature and pathetic you are.

Hi Status,
I've undone your move of this page to Unapologetic (album). More than 90% of the incoming links to Unapologetic refer to the album, so I think it's safe to say that it is the primary topic. Or, at least it gives enough reasonable doubt that a requested move discussion would be best here. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:30, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

GWR issue
[edit]Hi. Can you comment quickly at Talk:The Fragile (Nine Inch Nails album)#Genres? An editor is trying to use consensus as a loophole to get around a genre that can actually be verified by a reputed source. He's going after my character now, so the discussion could use some objectivity right about now. Dan56 (talk) 00:45, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
