Hello, Lee Vilenski. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Futaba Sakura".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. DannyS712 (talk) 08:25, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

• L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
• Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
• MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
• Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
• Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
• Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!

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 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!

The article 2019 Leende Open 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 needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:2019 Leende Open for issues which need to be addressed.

Hi, look I'll just get straight to the point. I'm sorry for falsely promising you that I would have been able to review WrestleMania IV: it has been 4 months and I don't really have any excuses. Not being knowledgeable (or interested) in the argument was really a big factor to me continuously pushing the work further and further.

So yeah, sorry again for not being responsible enough to keep my word. Hopefully, next time, I will make sure to keep my end of the bargain. Nehme1499 (talk) 22:19, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, just for your information, the correct link for "pool" is: [[Pool (cue sports)|pool]]. Best, Yoninah (talk) 18:00, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Yoninah. I'll change my template. I'm not sure why I always think it's the billiards one. I'll be more careful :) Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:02, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

It never ceases to amaze me that editors who are apparently not familiar with a subject think they are able to assess its importance. Do you really think that the technology and the country that actually gave rise to the telecommunications industry is not important to telecommunications? The first ever telecommunications company was formed here (the Electric Telegraph Company). That company was the ancestor of the multinational BT Group who, according to their article, "carried out corporate Europe's largest ever rights issue" (£5.9 billion). Another company became "the largest multinational of the nineteenth century" (Eastern Telegraph Company). Do you really think none of that is important, or did you just not read the article before assessing it? SpinningSpark 17:50, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi Spinningspark. I simply added the wikiproject tag to the article, as it was untagged beforehand; and gave it a B rating. The Rater script automatically generates a "low" importance to any article that doesn't get changed, and that is why it is marked as such.

Realistically, I was simply attempting to add the tag, and give the highest rating (as it's GAN). If the article in question needs to be more important, it should be easy to update to "top" or "high".Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:11, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

 Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:23, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that. You don't have to leave a rating to add a Wikiproject template. The template will show a question mark if the field is left blank. If you can't do that through the script you are using, maybe you should consider using a different tool, or doing it manually.

As a general note, I'm not a great fan of drive-by Wikiproject tagging. The majority of wikiprojects are moribund. Tagging articles just adds more and more pages to projects that will never do anything about them. An alternative to tagging is to request the project itself to assess the article. A project I belong to, Wikiproject Electronics, actually has a sub-page for making such requests, but any active project should at least respond on its talk page. Ones that aren't active really weren't worth assessing in the first place. SpinningSpark 18:42, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
