Wikitable deleted

Who deleted my Wikitable in my SR 623 section at List of secondary state highways in Virginia? Thanks! Philroc (talk) 18:43, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In this edit, PrimeHunter moved the table to the list article's talk page. It's easy to see who has made what edits on an article. In most cases, every revision of an article is contained in the article's history. Just click the "View history" tab at the top of the article, and all of the changes with their edit summaries are shown.

As a side note, administrators have the ability to "revdel" or "revision delete" parts of an article History. In that case, past changes will appear in the history, but normal editors can't see the changes made, and they may not be able to see the edit summaries. Additionally, oversighters can remove revisions that even administrators then can't see. These are rare exceptions to my statement above on being able to see past changes, and about the only time you'd run into this is in cases involving issues related to policies, editor privacy or legal stuff.

Junction table tutorial

I'm going to offer you some advice about making junction list tables. USRD has pretty much determined that we aren't going to use manually coded junction or exit list tables in the future. In fact, we're tracking what articles are not using the jctint family of templates to create the tables using the talk page banner so we know which articles need to be converted. There are a number of reasons for this change, but consistency is the biggest one. The templates also simplify the coding needed in the edit window.

To start a table, use {{jcttop}} or a state-specific template like {{MIinttop}} to create the top row of the table. There are some options in the template to customize the table for a single-county highway or an exit list, but for this tutorial we'll assume we're dealing with a standard highway in multiple counties.
For Virginia, use {{VAint}} to create each row of the table.
1. On the very first row of the table, you'll need to define |county= and then set |cspan= to the number of rows that are in that county.
2. Next you'll need to define |location= and set |lspan= to the number of rows for that location. If the junction is in an unincorporated or unnamed place, set |location=none; this has to be done for each row in an unincorporated or unnamed location.
3. If the first row, or any other row, needs to be in an independent city, there's |indep_city= to set up the coding so that "City of Fairfax" spans both columns (since the city is its own county) and the needed number of rows. Use |cspan= for the rows it needs to span.
4. Then fill in |mile= |road= and |notes= with the details of the intersection for that row.
Repeat step two for each additional row of the table, omitting the county, location or indep_city if they were defined in a previous row of the table and span multiple rows. Each time you change from kind of geographic area to another, add the appropriate coding for the first row in that county or location.
At the bottom, use {{jctbtm}} to close the table.

There are some other templates to create rows of the table. Each has a slightly different set of options compared to {{jctint}} or the state-specifc variants of jctint, but they all work the same with regards to counties, locations and miles as applicable.

If you need to list a bridge, there {{jctbridge}}. This template can also be called {{jctplace}}, {{jctrestarea}} or {{jcttunnel}} and can be used to create rows for a place (like a toll plaza or a state line), a restarea or a tunnel.
If a highway passes through a county without any junctions to list, there {{jctco}}.
If there's a gap in the route of the highway, you can use {{jctgap}}.

Note: all tables should eventually have some sort of mileage listed at some point to be considered complete. Even if you don't know of a source for mileposts at this time, someone else may for your state, or we can always fall back to measuring the distances with Google Maps or some other tool. If the table is missing mileposts, you may want to tag it with {{mileposts}} at the top of the section. The templates will display mile and km columns even if blank, and that's the way it should be.

There are a few additional steps in some cases, but if you did this, you'd have a basic table ready to use. If the table starts looking wonky, double check the cspan and lspan values. If you defined the first 5 rows to be in Foo County, but only 4 are supposed to be in Foo County, the cell for Foo County will extend too far down and start pushing stuff over in the fifth row of the table.

What do you mean by "manually coded"? Philroc (talk) 23:18, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Manually coded, as in using the

{| class="wikitable
|-
! Column 1
! Column 2
...
|}

type formatting. Instead, we're switching to the templates so that updates (for accessibility and other reasons) are applied automatically. Articles in Connecticut used a very odd formatting before they were converted, and some articles in Massachusetts use the wrong color background for concurrencies because we still have to manually change all of them to use the proper colors. (Michigan changed automatically from one color to the other with a simple template change several years ago.) Imzadi 1979 → 23:29, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Based on your comments here, I think you misunderstand. We aren't removing the tables from articles; we're converting them as needed.

Also, you need to sign your comments on talk pages. Please add the four tildes code at the end of your comments so that others know who made them. Imzadi 1979 → 11:07, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, I understand. I'm just removing the manually coded tables and replacing them with converted tables. Get it? Philroc (talk) 11:12, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, just make sure you make the conversion in either a single edit, or a brief sequence of consecutive edits so that others know that's what you're doing. One option is to copy the table to the article's talk page or a sandbox in your user space, convert it there over a period of time, and then copy the finished result back into the article if you have to do it in multiple steps. Leaving things in a half-finished state of change without some clue that the change will be completed doesn't help; neither does commenting out decent article content that isn't formatted right. Imzadi 1979 → 11:17, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. Philroc (talk) 18:33, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Virginia State Route 623 (Goochland and Hanover counties)

The article Virginia State Route 623 (Goochland and Hanover counties) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable road

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. T C N7JM 04:40, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I redirected it to the section in List of secondary state highways in Virginia instead. A tip though: references go at the end of the sentence(s) they cite. If you're writing three sentences that all pertain to the same source, you can place the footnote after the period at the end of the third sentence. If you need to put a footnote in the middle of a sentence, it normally goes after a comma or semicolon, although rarely when citing a single word quote even that guideline isn't followed. Imzadi 1979 → 04:47, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, guys, you can delete my article if you want to... Philroc (talk) 12:42, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GA reviews

Can you please gain some more experience with Wikipedia before you review any more GANs, such as writing a GA? To be honest, the reviews that you have done so far are not very helpful to the nominators, and are causing some problems. --Rs chen 7754 19:00, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What problems? Philroc (talk) 19:17, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I don't think you understand the criteria, or how the review process works, or how to write a Good Article. A bad review gives the nominator no useful feedback, and compromises the Good Article standard, and means that someone else now has to come and fix the bad reviews that you have done. --Rs chen 7754 19:25, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, what's bad about my reviews? Philroc (talk) 19:29, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They show no understanding of the criteria, or that you have even read the article. I fear that if you continue reviewing, you may be banned from reviewing GANs for a long time. --Rs chen 7754 19:33, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was reading the criteria while I was doing my reviews. Philroc (talk) 19:35, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's great, but I don't think that you really understand what they mean. It's difficult to understand that until you have actually written a Good Article. And by that, I mean written a Good Article, not just making this change to an article and nominating it. --Rs chen 7754 19:39, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That was incorrect grammar. Philroc (talk) 19:43, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and there is nothing wrong with fixing that... but then nominating that at GAN and taking the credit for "writing a Good Article" is ... problematic. Anyway, can you agree to not review any more GANs until you have more experience? --Rs chen 7754 19:47, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, how CAN I gain some experience in Wikipedia? Are there any ways anybody can help me out? Give me some stuff! Philroc (talk) 20:06, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The best way to gain experience on Wikipedia is to try writing an article! I know the first time you tried didn't turn out so well, but that was only because you tried to write about a road that wasn't notable enough for its own article. Try expanding the article for a more notable road. Virginia needs a lot of help for primary state routes! T C N7JM 20:08, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But it looks like all the primary routes have been taken! Philroc (talk) 20:13, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are plenty of articles on primary state routes in Category:Start-Class Virginia road transport articles that can be expanded. USRD assesses an article on a roadway as a Start if it only has two of the "Big Three" (route description, history, junction/exit list). Once it has all three, it can be bumped to C-Class, and if each section is pretty much complete and decently cited, it can be bumped to B-Class. There are over 200 Start-Class articles, meaning each needs one of the Big Three added. Imzadi 1979 → 00:13, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are many Virginia articles whose Major intersections lists should be converted to templates (jctint or VAint) from hard-coded tables. I saw you did that for U.S. Route 250 in Virginia, but then you reverted your own work. I am not sure why you did that because you seemed to do a good job. If you are looking for something to do, we could use your help converting hard-coded tables to templates in Virginia and other states. V C 03:35, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Changing links

I saw this edit you made to Maryland Route 14. You piped a link to change the capitalization of "Suicide bridge" to display as "suicide bridge". There's a much simpler way to do that: just link to [[suicide bridge]]. The initial letter in a wikilink can be in upper or lower case, and the link will work either way. Imzadi 1979 → 00:18, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quasi-talkback

Just in case you missed it, I replied to you at my talk page. T C N7JM 02:34, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Virginia State Route 9

This is not a bad start, but I have a couple comments for you.

You need a source for the information you've added to the history section. Make sure it is a reliable one and try to avoid self-published sources.
The category you added here, Category:C-Class Virginia road transport articles, is automatically added to the talk page of any article that uses the parameters |state=VA and |class=C in {{WikiProject U.S. Roads}}. There is no need to add it to the article itself.

Remember to just ask if you have any questions. T C N7JM 02:53, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

About number 1, I couldn't find traffic data below 1975 on VDOT's website. Philroc (talk) 03:10, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's kind of irrelevant to my point. I was referring to the info you added about its previous designations in the history. T C N7JM 03:15, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know that, and my references are the articles for each of the renumberings, but you can't put in references for articles, right? Philroc (talk) 03:30, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So use the citations from the articles you wanted to cite. T C N7JM 03:40, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I cited the URLs the articles were on. Philroc (talk) 13:14, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maryland Route 14 Good Article nomination

I noticed you nominated Maryland Route 14 at Good Article Nominations. Your contributions to this article are a single, unsubstantial edit that has since been reverted. The community considers it a breach of etiquette for an editor who has not provided significant contributions to an article to nominate and potentially take credit for improving that article to Good Article status. Please withdraw this nomination as soon as possible. Part of understanding the Good Article criteria is understanding what significant contributions are. You are welcome to nominate articles to which you have provided significant contributions. V C 03:53, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Virginia State Route 9

I had to remove the citations you added to that article. We can't cite other wikis, especially our own. All footnotes here need to be to reputable sources outside of Wikipedia itself, unless you're writing about Wikipedia. Also, you should endeavor to provide more complete citations. A bare URL in a footnote isn't good; see WP:Linkrot for details on why. Imzadi 1979 → 17:08, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Look, how can I connect VA 9's designations through history with reliable sources if there aren't any, not even on VDOT's website? Philroc (talk) 17:23, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are these buildings called libraries, and in them are paper-based objects called books, newspapers, and maps. Seriously though, there are plenty of avenues for research outside of VDOT's website.

Believe it or not, but other than some data like milepost measurements and traffic counts, we've written 18 Featured Articles and 186* current Good Articles on highway-related topics in Michigan without using MDOT's website. (All of the FAs were GAs at one time, as well.) Ok, we've used a few press releases here and there, but MDOT didn't provide our sources directly. Even the old maps used, published by MDOT or its predecessor, came from the Library of Michigan.

Google News has been a good resource for online searches of old newspaper articles. I've also used http://www.newspaperarchive.com/ for other articles. Add to that trips to other libraries to get access to some sources that aren't accessible other ways. No one will ever tell you that research is easy, but the payoff is worth it the first time you see the green GA + sign or the bronze FA star appear on an article you wrote. Imzadi 1979 → 17:36, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

VDOT has archives of their Commonwealth Transportation Board meetings from 1920 to the present on their website. If you have the patience to read through them—and you need a lot of patience because most of them are not text searchable—you can find a lot of helpful stuff in there. I have yet to find online copies of historical Virginia state highways maps, but those would be great, too, if you could find them. Talk to a librarian at your local library. They may not be able to help you, but they can direct you to someone who can. V C 19:03, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're nominating the article at GAN, but you did none of the work. It's really bad form to take an article to GAN if you're not a significant contributor.

North Dakota Highway 9

Hey, there! Thank you for adding so much content to this article. North Dakota, even though it's one of my former home states, has been a state I've kind of avoided because there aren't really enough sources to expand the articles. While your contributions are nice, please take heed of my recent changes to that article. Your history section was copied almost word for word from the source, which I've fixed. Aside from that, it was a WP:SPS, which we don't cite; we just add those to the external links section. Another main issue was that you abbreviated highways as "ND-1" and "US-52". Please note that only a select few states use the hyphen in abbreviations, and North Dakota is not one of them. In North Dakota, highways are abbreviated with as "ND 1" (note the non-breaking space). Again, thanks for your contributions, and please take this advice into mind when working on North Dakota highways in the future. T C N7JM 22:38, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

As the founder of WP:USRD, I am certainly aware of how we assess articles, and the big three convention (in fact, I was part of the discussion that set that up in the first place). Quite frankly, the insinuation that I don't know what I am doing is very insulting.

We do not count sections that are horribly misformatted, or are incredibly short considering how long the section should be. For example, U.S. Route 66 in New Mexico should have entire subsections in the History section; a History section of four sentences should not even be counted towards the Big Three for that article. --Rs chen 7754 11:49, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Did you even read what I wrote above before [1]? There is a difference between "incomplete" and "incredibly short". --Rs chen 7754 12:13, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

SR 37

The ACR has been closed. Per the ACR page, "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to a nomination." The review was almost all opposition on that basis without substantive comments, so it has not been added to the article history template on the SR 37 talk page. The reason we have that rule is to make sure nominators have sufficient knowledge about the article and its sources so they can respond to any comments or questions that arise during the review. If they consult with the regular editors, at least those other parties will be aware of the review to contribute. Imzadi 1979 → 21:02, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2014 February newsletter

And so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:

Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer whose high-quality scans of rare banknotes represent an unusual, interesting and valuable contribution to Wikipedia. Most of Godot's points this round have come from a large set of pictures used in Treasury Note (1890–91).
Adam Cuerden (submissions), a WikiCup veteran and a finalist last year, Adam is also a featured picture specialist, focusing on the restoration of historical images. This month's promotions have included a carefully restored set of artist William Russell Flint's work.
WikiRedactor (submissions), another WikiCup newcomer. WikiRedactor has claimed points for good article reviews and good articles relating to pop music, many of which were awarded bonus points. Articles include Sky Ferreira, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus and "Wrecking Ball" (Miley Cyrus song).

Other competitors of note include:

Hahc21 (submissions), who helped take Thirty Flights of Loving through good article candidates and featured article candidates, claiming the first first featured article of the competition.
Prism (submissions), who claimed the first featured list of the competition with Natalia Kills discography.
Cwmhiraeth (submissions), who takes the title of the contributor awarded the highest bonus point multiplier (resulting in the highest scoring article) of the competition so far. Her high-importance salamander, now a good article, scored 108 points.

After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). 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 equally.

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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer Godot13 (submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist Adam Cuerden (submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. Cliftonian (submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally. 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Your DYK nomination

Hi there. Please don't use a template to announce that your submission hasn't been reviewed yet. There is always a large backlog, and - as nominations stay on that page until they are either reviewed or declined - it's not going to simply disappear. The nomination will get reviewed eventually; please be patient. Sven Manguard Wha? 02:03, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:DYK old

A tag has been placed on Template:DYK old requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.

WikiCup 2014 April newsletter

Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's Godot13 (submissions), whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's ChrisGualtieri (submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included Cliftonian (submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and Caponer (submissions), who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from Reid,iain james (submissions), tiger from Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and The Lion King from Igordebraga (submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to Czar (submissions) and Red Phoenix (submissions) for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.

192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals. 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!

Interview request for The Center Line

The editors of The Center Line, the quarterly newsletter of the U.S. Roads WikiProject are asking if you, as an editor new to USRD, would be willing to answer three quick questions for an interview featurette in our next issue.

What article(s) are you working on these days?
What is your short-term goal for the article(s)? Long-term?
What is your favorite highway?

The space to answer these can be found at WP:USRD/NR#New editor interviews. Thanks, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) on behalf of Imzadi 1979 → 02:53, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited New Hampshire Route 102, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page NH 111 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:56, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Community-based program design

On 3 June 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Community-based program design, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that one of the benefits of community-based program design is a learning experience between a consumer and a social services provider? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Happy birthday!!!

Just a happy Birthday message to you, Philroc, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day!

Blocked from a single IRC channel

I have blocked you from entering the #wikipedia-en-roads ^connect channel because your account has been logging in and pinging out nonstop for the last six hours. If you'd like to idle in the chat room, that's fine. If you'd like to come and go at your leisure, that's fine too. What's not fine is when your account bounces and you're not around to stop it. –Fredddie ™ 19:34, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

UTC time

There is a gadget you can activate which will give you the current time in UTC, that way you won't make the mistake you made yesterday.

Go to the Gadgets tab on Special:Preferences, scroll down to Appearance, and select "Add a clock in the personal toolbar that displays the current time in UTC (which also provides a link to purge the current page)." Once you save, you will have a clock in the top right corner of the page telling you the UTC time. You may have to refresh your cache to see it. –Fredddie ™ 19:13, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Rschen7754:But I don't use UTC, I use my time zone! Phil roc^{My contribs} 21:27, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So? The Cup rules clearly say we're going off of UTC, which is fair to everyone. –Fredddie ™ 21:44, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2014 June newsletter

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's Godot13 (submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C, Casliber (submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.

The round saw this year's first featured portal, with Sven Manguard (submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to 12george1 (submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from Figureskatingfan (submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from Cloudz679 (submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of Sven Manguard (submissions).

The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then. 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
