Your GA nomination of El Chico del Apartamento 512

The article El Chico del Apartamento 512 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:El Chico del Apartamento 512 for things which need to be addressed. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 12:12, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

I failed the GA nomination as I'm going to be offline the rest of January. Feel free to renominate the article after solving the issues you agree about. That is, if you disagree with all of my points, renominate the article right now. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 08:10, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
So let me get this straight, you want to fail the article because you won't be online for the remainder of the month? If so, why couldn't you brought this attention at the talk page of GAN? There could of been editors there who would have taken over the review. Its okay thanks for the review though, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 16:21, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 Done (WT:GAR#El Chico del Apartamento 512). Good luck! — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 18:12, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

PR of Selena albums discog

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I have not forgot about the PR. I have been very busy with my area's local government. A very important issue in Maryland is about to be discussed, and I am heavily involved with it. I will continue the PR by the end of the week. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 21:52, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

It's all good bud. Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 18:58, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Alright so I just copy-edited the article and did some minor things. You can revert if you don't like; it's not all that professional, but I think it will pass FLC. I wanted to get it out of the way so we can focus on the referencing issues.

Your GA nomination of Amor Prohibido

The article Amor prohibido you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is striving to meet the good article criteria, there are numberous changes or clarifications that need to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Amor Prohibido for things which need to be addressed. —shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 09:22, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

I see from above that you are unable to upload any files, this probably includes modifying existing ones. For Criterion 6, the music samples are too long: I'll take the job of trimming them so don't delete them until I have the modified samples in. I'll also adjust the related nfurs. You still have a lot of other work to do.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:20, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for doing this! I'll get to the review during this weekend. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 01:16, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
The article Amor Prohibido you nominated as a good article in the category Arts: Music: Album did not meet the good article criteria at this time. There are suggestions on the review page for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. You are encouraged to undertake your own reviews of articles at GAN to assist in the backlog.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 22:12, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Selena albums discography

Fixed. I hope to continue the review soon.
Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 02:40, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks :-) I just finished the third para. Hope for the best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 02:43, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
While we're at it, you might want to look at the Jennifer Lopez discography. The discography articles had a major change on how the sales and songs charting not listed are dealt with. Erick (talk) 20:12, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Discographies/style For abbreviations on certifications which you already covered on the albums discographies. The footnotes are to provide the "as of" dates for sales figures and for singles discographies, to mention a single released but not charted. For example: "(Song name) failed to chart on the Billboard Latin Song but charted # on the Latin Pop Songs chart". You can ask Michael Jester since he knows a lot about it than I do. Erick (talk) 22:41, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, I said you got that cert abb part covered. He's better at this than me. Erick (talk) 22:54, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Well looking at the J-Lo discog, the sales figures might need "As of (year)" footnotes. That's all that comes to mind at the moment. Coincidentally, I'm also doing a discog on my sandboxes (Chayanne), but I'm not as committed to do a FL at the moment Erick (talk) 23:06, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I'm trying to explain that sales figures for Selena's albums should have a footnote to denote the "as of (year)" similar to J-Lo's discog. My sandbox also has footnotes to denote the "as if (year)" if that helps. Erick (talk) 23:11, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Yep, just like that. Erick (talk) 23:31, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Beats me. I'm feeling bummed out at the moment, sorry. Erick (talk) 23:36, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Eh, all I'll says is that I've had better days nothing to worry about much. Erick (talk) 23:41, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

It looks like you got this fixed up. It looks like the footnotes were implemented correctly.

A barnstar for you!

The Good Article Barnstar
Thanks AJona1992 for helping to promote "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" to Good Article status. Please accept this little sign of appreciation and goodwill from me, because you deserve it. Keep it up, and give someone a pat on the back today. --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 05:59, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

RE: Dreaming of You (album)

You linked to a list of singles that reached #1 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart rather than a list of albums that reached #1 on the Latin Pop Albums chart. I just created an article for a list of #1 Latin Pop Albums for the 1990s just a while ago and am working on one for the 2000s decade. Erick (talk) 23:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Dunno. I created a list of #1 Latin Pop Albums for the '80s, '90s, and '10s so I figure I'd do the same for the 00's. I did create every decade for #1 Tropical Albums as well. Erick (talk) 23:45, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Erick (talk) 23:48, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Still waiting for the final copy-edit on the FAC GOCE. Erick (talk) 23:58, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Oh yeah, well I've been working on Bachata Rosa by Juan Luis Guerra to help with the folks at WikiProject Dominican Republic. I sent it to be peer reviewed few days ago shortly after getting copy-edited. Erick (talk) 00:04, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Oh crap, you're right, I did make some inconsistency. I'll get to that later after I finish the list. Erick (talk) 00:21, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Re:Comments

Hi Jona. How are you? Listen, I have never promoted an FL. In fact, that of Beyonce failed with me. Lol. But I will nevertheless see what I can do. :) Jivesh1205 (Talk) 04:34, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Awww I am so happy to know you like Beyonce. Lol, I am kind of a fan + stan = Super fan. Lol. I love all those songs. Needless to say I love all songs by Beyonce. And I do know your goals and with hard work, you will achieve them. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 04:47, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
That's why I love Beyonce. Lol. She loves everyone and that's why everyone loves her. Even he paparazzi respects her. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 04:58, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

RE: Christian Castro

Wow! I did not see that coming at all! I mean I thought EMI already a various artists thing back in 2005, but this is cool. I'm looking forward to Camila's cover as well. Not looking forward to Belinda though (don't like her at all). I hope they put Luis Fonsi in it too and maybe Enrique Iglesias. Anyways to suggest artists for the album? Erick (talk) 08:38, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

I like Camila and enjoyed their last album, Dejarte de Amar. I don't pay attention to singers like Gomez since teen pop isn't my thing. Even though I'm not too fond of Shakira, I think there's a good chance she'll get in. Erick (talk) 19:56, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Selena singles discography, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Medley and Digital download (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Archiving charts

Which article do you want to archive it for? It's not good to archive the search results. Instead, it's better to cite the specific chart. Of course, if you're citing it for something else, you can archive it by these steps:

Thanks. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 00:20, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi AJona, just a note to tell you that I've moved your comments to the PR page here and transcluded it on the article's talk page (linked above), so if you want them in future you'll know where to find them. Thanks for the comments btw, they're very helpful. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 22:33, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Peer review limits changed

Hi Ajona1992,

This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.

While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.

If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review. If you want to help with the backlog, please review an article whoe PR request is listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog/items. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:03, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Selena Live! (GOCE request)

Hi Jona. An editor appears to have moved your request for a copy edit of Selena Live! from the GOCE general requests page to our requests for articles aiming for FAC page. Since you got the GA (congratulations!) and could try FAC if you'd like to, it is welcome there, but this is up to you. It might or might not be better there: fewer inexperienced copy editors service the FAC-level requests, but turnover is slower. The editor who moved your request appears not to have asked you first, so I thought I should. Whichever you choose, you won't be pushed back in the queue. Cheers, Simon. --Stfg (talk) 14:18, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for asking :-) I actually wanted to replace the article with Missing My Baby (remember I had asked that on the talk page) Can I still do so? Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 19:22, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
You only have one request on the general requests page now, so you can simply add it if you like. Do you want to keep Selena Live! on the FAC requests page? (You can if you like -- it's your third there.) Best, --Stfg (talk) 19:49, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
So it would have to be in the back of the queue? I just wanted to replace Live! with Missing My Baby but I couldn't do it at the time because of RL. Is it still possible to do that? Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 19:51, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
No problem. I've removed Selena Live! from the FAC requests and restored it to where it was in the general requests, where you can now replace it in that position with Missing My Baby. Good luck, --Stfg (talk) 20:34, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 Done thanks! Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 20:47, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

No Me Queda Más

Hello! I will review "No Me Queda Más". I would first like to apologize for abandoning my review of "Techno Cumbia" a few months ago. My computer broke and it took me a little while to get a new one. Sorry about that :( I notice that "No Me Queda Más" underwent a peer review a few weeks ago and made great suggestions. I would recommend that you address those concerns first, and then let me know when you are ready for me to review the rest. Thanks for all your hard work on Selena articles!

AfD and PROD

Hey there. Back in November, you got either an AfD or PROD notification, and it was during one of the template testing project's experiments. If you could go here and leave us some feedback about what you think about the new versions of the templates we tested (there are links on the page), that would be very useful. (You can also email me at swalling@wikimedia.org if you want.) Thanks! Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 22:28, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Selena

I'm readding some of the deleted content from November. I avoided the article since those revert wars, but reading the article further, there's no way in hell it will survive WP:FAR again without some of that content, plus it was mostly one user that was concerned. I need your help with sources and such and we could discuss the article further, like in WP:IRC where I'm usually on. Btw keep up the good work. Thanks Secret account 19:07, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I don't know how to use IRC but I'm sure you can help me out on that part. I haven't been active lately because of RL but whenever you would like to start I'll be on and helping :-) Thanks and you too bud. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 17:40, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner. Right now my time is extremely spotty and practically random. I will work on the article with you when I find a few hours of free time. Thanks Secret account 22:23, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

It's ok :-) Do you want to work with User:Hurmata, User:Pinkadelica, User:Gr8white and User:Florian Blaschke? They worked on the article and have felt strongly about the recent expansion I made. It would be a good thing to work with as much users, esp for prose purposes and to have as many helpful comments as possible. Just a thought, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 19:50, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 February newsletter

Round 1 is already over! The 64 highest scorers have progressed to round 2. Our highest scorer was Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), again thanks mostly to a swathe of good articles on The X-Files. In second place was United Kingdom Tigerboy1966 (submissions), thanks an impressive list of did you knows about racehorses. Both scored over 400 points. Following behind with over 300 points were Minnesota Ruby2010 (submissions), Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) and Scotland Casliber (submissions). February also saw the competition's first featured list: List of colleges and universities in North Dakota, from Minnesota Ruby2010 (submissions). At the other end of the scale, 11 points was enough to secure a place in this round, and some contestants with 10 points made it into the round on a tiebreaker. This is higher than the 8 points that were needed last year, but lower than the 20 points required the year before. The number of points required to progress to round 3 will be significantly higher.

The remaining contestants have been split into 8 pools of 8, named A through H. Round two will finish in two months time on 28 April, when the two highest scorers in each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers, will progress to round 3. The pools were entirely random, so while some pools may end up being more competitive than others, this is by chance rather than design.

The judges would like to point out two quick rules reminders. First, any content promoted during the interim period (that is, on or after 27 February) is eligible for points in round 2. Second, any content worked on significantly this year is eligible for points if promoted in this round. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which would otherwise be caused by the Cup.

Copy-edit of Entre a Mi Mundo

Hi Ajona, I hope you are well. I've just completed your requested copy-edit of the above article, but I didn't understand a few of the phrases there, especially "but the decision is solely based on the man..." ('Singles' section) and had to guess at some others. Pease feel free to correct any mistakes I've made in the article, otherwise I hope it's okay. :-) I see you have another request pending; I'll try and get that one done fairly soon Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 00:56, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey there bud :D I'll look through it and see what odd English you have brought up so I can help. Thanks and best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 19:48, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, I hope all s well with 'Entre a Mi Mundo. I've also copy-edited Missing My Baby, which was quite easy to do. However, I found the sentence "Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News believed that the addition of "Missing My Baby" "were added for good measure" - the bolded part doesn't quite make sense in its present form. I'm guessing it means the addition of Missing my Baby to the album was for good measure. As this doesn't add much to the article, you could remove it completely or rewrite it using the whole quoted sentence. If you want to, I can rephrase this for you, but since I cannot access the Dallas Morning News article, you can copy it to my talk page (which I'll then remove) so I can rewrite this sentence. Anyway, I hope the copy-edit is good; feel free to change the article if it isn't. :-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 05:36, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Television episode and season articles badly needed

I see that you have a television show in the queue at WP:GAC. I would like to call your attention to Wikipedia:TV-EPISODE#Important_articles_to_be_created?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:55, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

I don't see any redlinks, can you explain a little please? Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 19:48, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Forgot to tell you this

The whole caps thing doesn't apply to lists (discogs, awards, etc.) articles. I'm really to not tell you that. If it makes you feel better, feel free to whack with a trout. Erick (talk) 19:58, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

LOLZ it's alright bud. Thanks for at least telling me though :D Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 20:04, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Looks like there was something missed at WikiProject Albums that was not brought up. According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization): "If the article is about a work in a foreign language (such as a book or other written work, movie, album, or song), using the capitalization found in most English language reliable sources is recommended." Looks like WP:ALBUMCAPS did not mention this at all. Man, I feel like an idiot because I did not noticed this guideline at all. On a lighter note, I finally had someone to fix the bot to detect and dispaly GA and FA Latin music articles. Which means no more manual updates needed! :D Erick (talk) 07:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

¡Q'Viva! The Chosen

Have you heard of the recently premiered reality show called "¡Q'Viva! The Chosen"? It stars J-Lo and Marc Anthony as they travel around Latin America looking talent to put on "The Big Show". I have to say it's an impressive show and seeing as how I'm intrigued by the Latin American culture, it really captures my attention. So last Saturday, one of the contest was a Chicana singing...take a wild guess. Yep. The really interesting part is that Anthony said that Selena was a close and that if she were still here, she would have liked the contestant. Source. At the moment, it's only on Univision, but it premiers this Saturday on Fox. Erick (talk) 20:39, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes I've heard about Marc Anthony will be talking about Selena from her official chat board however I didn't know what the show's name was. Thanks for the information it's nice to hear other famous people talk about her :-) Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 15:42, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Good news relating to Latin music. The music-importance parameter for the task force is now fixed so you can add it to talk pages relating to Latin music. Erick (talk) 17:55, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
Alright I'll get to it soon :D Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 17:59, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Editing limitations

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't it been six months since your editing limitations were posted on your talk page? If so, I think you should have the admin that imposed it review it. EDIT: Well at the ANI, it says anwyay. Erick (talk) 13:28, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Wow I forget all about that 6 months thing, time flies lolz. I'll ask at AN/I later on in the week. Thanks for reminding me :) BTW have you heard this???? its a merengue mix with reggaeton on my FAVORITE song of hers' :D lolz. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 13:40, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Video removed. :( I listened to the new addition of "Como la Flor" and I didn't really like Cristian's voice in this in. I found the album to underwhelming to be honest. To me, there's no better tribute to an artist then by listening to the original songs and Selena's songs were perfect the way they are. BTW, did you get that message I told about using caps found on English-langauge for foreign-songs? Erick (talk) 15:51, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Try now :)... I didn't like that version either, they aren't even trying to appeal her to other Hispanics, besides Mexicans... I agree but I like something new though, but not with the way they did it. I liked Don Omar's "Fotos y Recuerdos" and Gomez's "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" (though the adlibs were off in the beginning) and I LOVE the new "Enamorada de Ti" (one of my fav songs) they turned it into a reggaeton-like song. They are going to do an English version of what they just did with this album. I'm hoping Beyonce, Madonna, and other mainstream pop artists will be on the album. They already confirmed Michael Buble will be on it, idk but I'm gonna buy two copies of the album lolz hopefully it will debut at #1 on the TLA, I highly doubt it will debut or even peak at #1 on the Billboard 200 because of their targeted demographic (Mexicans who like pop music) though Don Omar and Juan's additions should appeal to Puerto Ricans, but nothing to appeal the overall 18-49 demographics in America :/ Best, Jonayo!

WikiCup 2012 March newsletter

We are over half way through the second round of this year's WikiCup and things are going well! Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), of Pool B, is our highest overall scorer thanks to his prolific writings on television and film. In second place is Pool H's Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), thanks primarily to work on biological articles, especially in marine biology and herpetology. Third place goes to Pool E's Scotland Casliber (submissions), who also writes primarily on biology (including ornithology and botany) and has already submitted two featured articles this round. Of the 63 contestants remaining, 15 (just under a quarter) have over 100 points this round. However, 25 are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly. 32 contestants, the top two from each pool and the 16 next-highest scorers, will advance to round 3.

Congratulations to Vanuatu Matthewedwards (submissions), whose impressive File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg became the competition's first featured picture. Also, congratulations to Florida 12george1 (submissions), who claimed good topic points, our first contestant this year to do so, for his work on Wikipedia:Featured topics/1982 Atlantic hurricane season. This leaves featured topics and featured portals as the only sources of points not yet utilised. However, as recent statistics from Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) show, no source has yet been utilised this competition to the same extent it has been previously!

It has been observed that the backlogs at good article candidates are building up again. While the points for good article reviews will be remaining constant, any help that can be offered keeping the backlog down would be appreciated. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Murder of Selena

Hi there... You removed my postings regarding the Murder of Selena... they were there to give the general public a view into the details of Selena's murder. If you read the ACTUAL ARTICLE THAT WAS PUBLISHED (http://www.themonitor.com/articles/ring-36976-selena-betrayed.html), you would actually be able to see that every word I posted was not only true, but ALREADY a part of the general knowledge regarding this nightmare, but that there was a semblance of poetry EVEN in our beloved Angel's death... I used actual quotes from the article. It is NOT your job to censor the truth of reality. Read the article, and re-post my words. You should know better than to censor the truth. Your reaction to this will give us a view into your ACTUAL maturity level and whether you deserve to be censoring people who were old enough to live and remember the tragedy... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.154.56 (talkcontribs)

You didn't cite it to your claim which I had to remove since the article is a GA on Wikipedia. Secondly, I am a fan of Selena so I'm not sure what you mean by "censoring", I removed your edit(s) because it did not appear to be constructive at all. Thirdly, if there is something wrong with the article you can post your concerns on the article's talk page so others, and not only myself, can discuss or you can post on my talk page so I can have a better understanding on what you are trying to tell me. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 13:48, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

You are censoring the truth of what happened. Leaving out the details omits a deeper meaning that those of us who were actually involved in "La Onda Tejana" would actually appreciate. You may be a fan, but that gives you no right to omit all the details that our history as a species has a right to know (i.e. censorship.). I was a fan and follower LONG before you were ever born. The article was already printed and is a part of her history. If you look at it from a deeper meaning, each of the events I was quoting was telling us what Selena would never get to tell us... that her betrayal was all encompassing.. everything about her emptied out as she ran to find the authorities, from the cell phone to the I.D. to the passport, to her very life essence. It gives us a more accurate view of just how vicious and unexpected the betrayal was. And c'mon... the ring is such a pivotal piece in the Selena story... for you to censor out the truth makes the general "white audience" think that Gregory Nava was just blowing smoke up our asses when he had Jennifer Lopez drop the ring in the ambulance during the murder scene. If you're such a fan, why can't you see that? Your actions white-washes and sanitizes Y. Saldivar's actions. I find it interesting just how much of a focus you have on that Saldivar woman too. Some fan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.154.56 (talk) 04:02, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 April newsletter

Round 2 of this year's WikiCup is over, and so we are down to our final 32, in what could be called our quarter-finals. The two highest scorers from each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers overall, have entered round 3, while 30 participants have been eliminated. Pool B's Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions) remains our top scorer with over 700 points; he continues to gain high numbers of points for his good articles on The X-Files, but also Millennium and other subjects. He has also gained points for a good topic, a featured list, multiple good article reviews and several did you knows. Pool E's Scotland Casliber (submissions) was second, thanks primarily to his biology articles, with Pool H's New York City Muboshgu (submissions) coming in third, with an impressive 46 did you knows, mostly on the subject of baseball. Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both scored over 600 points. Pools E and H proved our most successful, with each seeing 5 members qualify for round 3, while Pools C and D were the least, with each seeing only 3 reach round 3. However, it was Pool G which saw the lowest scoring, with a little under 400 points combined; Pool H, the highest scoring group, saw over triple that score.

65 points was the lowest qualifying score for round 3; significantly higher than the 11 required to enter round 2, and also higher than the 41 required to reach round 3 last year. However, in 2010, 100 points were needed to secure a place in round 3. 16 will progress to round 4. In round 3, 150 points was the 16th highest score, though, statistically, people tend to up their game a little in later rounds. Last year, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 points were needed. Guessing how many points will be required is not easy. We still have not seen any featured portals or topics this year, but, on the subject of less common content types, a small correction needs to be made to the previous newsletter: File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg, our first featured picture, was the work of both Vanuatu Matthewedwards (submissions) and United Kingdom Grandiose (submissions), the latter of whom has also gone on to score with File:Map of the Battle of Guam, 1944.svg. Bonus points also continue to roll in; this round, England Ealdgyth (submissions) earned triple points for her good articles on William the Conqueror and the Middle Ages, Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both earned triple points for their work on Western Jackdaw, now a good article, Michigan Dana Boomer (submissions) earned triple points for her work on lettuce and work by Bavaria Stone (submissions) to ready antimony for good article status earned him triple points. United Kingdom Jarry1250 (submissions) managed to expand Vitus Bering far enough for a did you know, which was also worth triple points. All of these highly important topics featured on 50 or more Wikipedias at the start of the year.

An article on the WikiCup in the Wikimedia Blog, "Improving Wikipedia with friendly competition", was posted at the end of April. This may be of interest to those who are signed up to this newsletter, as well as serving as another way to draw attention to our project. Also, we would again like to thank United Kingdom Jarry1250 (submissions) and Bavaria Stone (submissions), for continued help behind the scenes. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Buenos Amigos

You know, we haven't worked on an article together. Would Buenos Amigos be alright? It's one of my favorite songs and I got sentimental every time I listen to the song. I'm a bit busy with two other song articles but I thought you might be interested. Erick (talk) 18:12, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Me too :( I haven't been editing a lot since January but it has a lot to do with stress-related reasons (nothing to do with Wikipedia)... I would love to work with you on that article :-) When would you like to start? Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 22:20, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Well right now I'm helping Status with "No Me Ames" and working on "Corazon Sin Cara". But if you would like to start right away, that is fine by me. Just link me the sandbox and I will watch it and help. I'm sorry to hear about your stresses. Erick (talk) 23:05, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
That's great, one of my fav songs from her lolz. I will begin it here and find sources online :D Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 23:32, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
I've got the chart performance already done. EDIT: Somewhat related, I created the article for the album it came from. Erick (talk) 01:15, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
I was gonna do it but you beat me to it lolz. I added sources I found online, I'll add more tomorrow as I resume searching :-) Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 02:47, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
I'm dividing the time I spent between this song and "No Me Ames". So today I will continue on "No Me Ames" and tomorrow this song. Erick (talk) 20:09, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Bad Girls Club (season 10)

Hello AJona1992. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Bad Girls Club (season 10), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not vandalism. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 05:30, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Of course it is, their sources (copied from previous seasons) do not support claims. Also, season 8 just finished wrapping and the ninth season article is currently up for deletion because of WP:TOOSOON. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 13:41, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
G3 speedy deletion is reserved for cases of blatant hoaxes. It would have been helpful if you had indicated in your edit summary or on the Talk page why you thought this was a hoax. I've deleted the article. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 13:45, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Oh I'm sorry I didn't see that one :/ But thank you for deleting it. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 16:42, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks

That's the quickest barnstar ever! Thankyou! Now, back to the final paragraphs... Rothorpe (talk) 22:31, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome :D Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 22:35, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Nada. PS Can I put a postparenthetical comma on your page? Rothorpe (talk) 22:44, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Of course lolz :) Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 22:56, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Mentorship fo image uploading.

Hi Ajona, I'm glad that my proposal was palatable for you. I'm not familiar at all with image upload requirements so I'm afraid I'll be of no help to you. However, I suggest you seek out User:Moonriddengirl who, IIRC, has a lot of experience with copyright requirements. If she has time she may be able to help you, if not I'm sure she'll be able to direct you to some one else who could be of help. Best, Blackmane (talk) 14:13, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

I do have a lot of experience with copyright, but not really with our images...allowances on "non free" are pretty specific to our policies. If he's available, I would heartily recommend User:Masem. He'd be at the top of my list if I needed advice with an image upload. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:09, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 May newsletter

We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader, Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on The X-Files and Millenium keep him in second place overall. Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by Scotland Casliber (submissions), our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored Western Jackdaw, which is now a featured article.

This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user, New York City Muboshgu (submissions), claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list, 1936 Summer Olympics medal table, was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, 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!
