Prep 6

Hi, I promoted your hook to prep, but changed the hook so it wouldn't say ...referee to referee.... Is the new hook OK with you? Yoninah (talk) 23:53, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

If you want the title, maybe we could write:
... that Alhambra Nievas (pictured) is the first female rugby union referee to take charge of a men's international match? Yoninah (talk) 23:55, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
On second thought, that's what I changed it to. It said "referee to referee" and I changed it to "referee to take charge". Yoninah (talk) 00:17, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Good stuff: nice to see this new article on DYK! I've been doing some research on Heathrow for non-Wikipedia reasons and have uncovered a few interesting things, including an anecdote about the Osmonds (but where did I file the reference for it...?). Not to mention a 1950s or 1960s rail ticket covering return rail travel from Bournemouth to Woking, coach travel to Heathrow and "a tour of the perimeter roads (!!) and admission to the Queens Building roof gardens". I'll put the article on my watchlist and try to add some more. Best, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 23:12, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

WikiCup 2018 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.

Our top scorers in round 1 were:

  • United States Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
  • Germany FrB.TG , a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
  • India Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
  • United States Ceranthor, India Numerounovedant, Minnesota Carbrera, Netherlands Farang Rak Tham and Romania Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. 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. 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!

Jesus of Nazareth

Jesus (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a historical Jesus existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of the gospel narratives and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate. Christians generally believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a Divine Trinity. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. (Full article...)

London Welsh Amateur

The C of E. Hi - I have seen that you have created the following page, which I in turn have updated further since the club has won the Herts/Middlesex 1 and promotion to the London leagues. However, since the two areas of the club seems to have been merged into one it begs a couple of questions. Should we simply transfer all historical information from London Welsh RFC into London Welsh Amateur, or should the amateur club details go back into the main London Welsh page, or should the pages be combined into one? Other clubs such as Richmond and London Scottish went into liquidation and rose from the ashes but still retain the same Wiki page. What are your thoughts? Jgjsmith006 (talk) 22:20, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

I think that we need to consider that the LW clubs are two separate clubs that co-existed. LS and Richmond were phoenix clubs that carried on the legacy of the old club. It is better that they are separated so it shows clearly that the London Welsh in London 3 is not the same club as the former Premiership outfit that got liquidated. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 18:49, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
I see what you mean - it was a situation similar to Sale FC Rugby Club and Sale Sharks, only both clubs are still running. The problem I see is that the London Welsh RFC page is still being updated as if it was an active club, using the same head coach as the London Welsh Amateur side and even including them being in the Herts/Middlesex 1 league. I can see there being real confusion with editors who are perhaps not familiar with Wikipedia in the way we are, and adding information with the best of intention. It also seems that the amateur club is now using the name London Welsh RFC instead of London Welsh Amateurs or London Welsh Druids. Perhaps we need to get more consensus from other Wikipedia rugby union editors using a Talk Page - I usually hate doing that sort of thing but it could be important with regards to this issue. Jgjsmith006 (talk) 22:22, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
I think that it merely confusion by some reckless editing, who don't realise that LW is liquidated but LWA is still running as an independent club. Their first team just uses the London Welsh name now. Likewise we have London Irish and London Irish Amateur. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:42, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
Yes London Irish and London Irish Wild Geese is a good example. I guess we keep an eye on both pages and keep things as they are. Jgjsmith006 (talk) 16:46, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
