Your GA nomination of 1968 European Cup Final
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 1968 European Cup Final you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. 
This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of The Rambling Man -- The Rambling Man (talk) 10:20, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Harrias. I am starting work on the Battle of Dunbar in collaboration with User:Girth Summit with a view to taking it to FA. (The draft is her if you want to keep an eye on it.) Do you know if there is an article, probably one of the larger battles, where the weaponry of the time and its effectiveness is covered? Possibly the tactical use of both infantry and cavalry as well? I am thinking of something along the lines of "Opposing forces" from the Battle of Crécy. There probably isn't, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. Similarly, if there is anything which you know of that may be a basis for "Background" I would be grateful. Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:51, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Gog the Mild: I haven't come across anything particularly great on the weaponry of the time on here. I put a little bit in User:Harrias/Edgehill#Opposing forces, but that is pretty specific to that battle. If you do come across anything let me know, or similarly, if you need any specific help with detail or sourcing, I can probably lend a hand: a fair few of my books go into some detail about the different weaponry and tactics. The Scottish theatre of the Wars isn't really one that I'm that familiar with, so can't offer much off the top of my head for the Background, but I'll keep on eye on it, and either stick my oar in, or give it a review. Harrias talk 19:03, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
Harrias, just a gentle reminder that you opened this review page on April 7, and haven't yet posted a review. Whenever you can give it some attention would be great. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:35, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: Blimey, thank you. That one had completely passed me by. Harrias talk 07:34, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of 1968 European Cup Final
The article 1968 European Cup Final 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:1968 European Cup Final for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of The Rambling Man -- The Rambling Man (talk) 20:00, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Harrias - sorry to be boring, but I just wanted to make a suggestion about the wording of the new criterion. At the moment, it reads "An article can, but by no means must, be failed without further review (known as a quick fail) if, prior to the review: ... A reviewer who has not previously reviewed the article determines that any issues from previous GA nominations have not been adequately considered". Surely, the "reviewer who has not previously reviewed the article" would need to conduct a review to see whether "any issues from previous GA nominations have not been adequately considered", so it would not be "prior to the review". Can I suggest the criterion is changed to "Any issues from previous GA nominations have not been adequately considered (as determined by an eligible reviewer who has not previously reviewed the article)." There was also some talk of a footnote specifying that "adequately considering issues" is not necessarily the same as "doing exactly what previous reviewers suggested".

81 UEFA Cup final
Hey, just wondered if you'd be kind enough to re-visit that? It's slow going at FAC so some positive action on unresolved issues might just unblock things? Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:07, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
- @The Rambling Man: Sorry, of course. Ditto for Talk:1982 Women's Cricket World Cup/GA1? Harrias talk 19:21, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

TFA
Thank you today for Worcestershire v Somerset, 1979, about one "of the most bizarre incidents in the history of cricket occurred in 1979, when Somerset captain Brian Rose chose to declare his team's innings after one over, manipulating a loophole in the rules which meant they couldn't suffer a heavy defeat and be knocked out of the competition. Needless to say, it didn't go down well ("It's not cricket!) and Somerset were subsequently thrown out of the competition."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:23, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Signpost article
G'day Harrias, and I hope all is well. Around a month ago I emailed you about the GA backlog drive for an article I'm writing in The Signpost. Though you expressed interest, I never got a response from you. It'd be really helpful if you could take some time and respond (preferably by 29 May). If time or interest doesn't allow, no worries!

I think while I've been able to patch a few holes for GA, it's probably a fair distance from FA, and I'm not sure I have the mental energy for it! Harrias talk 09:28, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter
The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.
.svg){kind=small}
Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, 
MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Uninvolved admin needed
Bacondrum is bludgeoning a discussion at an AfD they opened. I’ve asked them to stop, as has another editor. They’ve told me to take it to ANI or stop bothering them. I don't think it rises to the level of ANI, but it would be good if an uninvolved admin took a look.
Other diffs (and this is just a sampling): [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
…but it’s probably easier just to read the discussion, as it isn’t overlong: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2020 United States racial injustice reckoning If you'd rather I took this to ANI or to someone else, that's fine.

- I don't think it's necessary to ask for further opinions. What you posted to them is all that's needed, as far as I'm concerned. I just wanted them to hear from someone they weren't in a content dispute with. I chose you simply because you were #1 on the list and I didn't want to seem to be cherrypicking to ask for help from someone who would agree with me, but I'll try to remember that you're less active in admin stuff currently!

FLC review request
Hi. I noticed that you're highly active at FLC. I have a candidate list that is rapidly approaching the older nominations section and has only one review, and I'm worried that my nomination will fail purely from lack of attention.

I intend to use the finished FL as a template for improving similar lists, so the more feedback I'm able to get, the better.

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.
Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

Welcome back
Thanks for the support on Dundee, and big thanks for all of the support through the process.
There is a discussion of a proposal for mergers taking place here which I suspect may interest you.
I have a non-urgent request for a tweak to a map. File:First Punic War 264 BC v2.png could do with the Carthaginian control of Sardinia and Corsica looking more like in File:Carthaginianempire.PNG, but with a thin line up the east coast added. No rush and no problem at all if you prefer to not become an on call Maps-R-us.
If you were to fancy developing your map making skills, then the first two of Hannibal's "big three" battles - the Trbica and Lake Trasimene - could do with decent maps ahead of a proposed run at FAC.
Cheers. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:42, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Harrias, Hope all is well. I just closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2016 United Arab Emirates Under-19 Tri-Nation tournament (2nd nomination) as delete, because that's what the (admittedly limited) consensus was there, and a similar article was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2015 India Under-19 Tri-Nation tournament (2nd nomination). However, looking over Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2016 United Arab Emirates Under-19 Tri-Nation tournament again, which was three years ago, you and Worldbruce made some points that I don't think were really touched upon this time around. Thought I'd alert you to this, because I don't know if you saw them the second time around. Eddie891 Talk Work 15:23, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- Cheers Eddie891 for the message. Honestly, I tend to keep away from cricket AfDs these days, they've become a battle ground with editors on both sides tending to have strong opinions that I can't really be bothered with.
