GA review of Shisha Gumbad

Hello Royroydeb, you recently reviewed GA nomination of Shisha Gumbad here. Thanks for your time but it would be helpful if you can explain the reason behind the decline (as none was provided in article talkpage). Cheers, Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 07:16, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello Royroydeb, Since you have not yet replied, I am still wondering as to what is the problem with the GA nomination of Shisha Gumbad article that you failed. Neither have I seen any feedback from you (anywhere) nor any intimation to myself that you started the review and / or the reason behind the decline. What steps did you take for the GA review? If you think you made a mistake in reviewing, kindly revert the change and let someone else review the page. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 05:16, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Bahadur Shah I

The article Bahadur Shah I 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:Bahadur Shah I for things which need to be addressed.

2015 GA Cup Wrap-Up

WikiProject Good Articles's 2015 GA Cup - Finals/Wrap-Up

The second-ever GA Cup is now over! The competition officially ended Thursday. Congrats to everyone who participated, and especially to our finalists.

The winner of the 2nd GA Cup is Zwerg Nase! He earned 408 points, over 100 points more than he earned in all previous rounds. He tied with our second-place winner, Sturmvogel 66 with 367 points, in number of articles reviewed (24), and they earned almost the same points for reviewing articles that were in the queue the longest (Zwerg with 322, Sturmvogel with 326). Basically, they tied in points, but what made the different for Zwerg was the advantage he had in reviewing longer articles. It seems that the rule change of earning more realistic points for longer articles made a difference. All of our contestants should be proud of the work they were able to accomplish through the GA Cup. Congrats to these worthy opponents!

Our third and fourth place winners, Johanna and Tomandjerry211, also ran a close race, with 167 points and 147 points respectfully. We had one withdrawal; we found it interesting that competitors dropped out in Round 2 and 3 as well. One of the original judges and co-creator of this competition, User:Dom497 stepped down as judge during Round 3; as stated previously, we will miss his input and wish him the best.

The judges were pleased with our results, even though fewer users competed this time compared to our inaugural competition. We recognize that this might be due to holding the competition during the summer months. We intend on looking more closely when we should conduct this contest, as well as other aspects of the GA Cup. We've set up a feedback page for everyone's input about how we should conduct the contest and what rule changes should be made. If you have any ideas about how we can improve things, please visit it and give us your input.

Again, thanks to all and congratulations to our winners! Please stay tuned for the start of GA Cup #3.

Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo.

A barnstar for you!

		The Invisible Barnstar
		The judges would like to congratulate you for making the 2nd round being in the top 16! Although you didn't make the top 9 of Round 2, we appreciate that you participated in the 2nd Annual GA Cup. We hope to see you next year! MrWooHoo (talk) 23:46, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Understanding the sources

Hello there, from Portugal,

Jorge Alonso: 1 - he did not score three goals in 36 games in his first season with UD Salamanca, he scored ZERO in ONE game; 2 - CD Leganés is in Segunda División now, yes sir, but when he signed they competed in Segunda División B. Don't worry, I have already duly cleaned up article.

Attentively --84.90.219.128 (talk) 20:09, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I understand the franchise bit, but to keep everything coherent I choose this approach (FC Goa plays the same sport as, let's say, Arsenal, do they not? Hence, "club" is universal, and Atlético K (or FC Goa, etc) is from India so "Indian club" is 100% correct). The leagues (in this case the ISL or the I-L) should be dealt with in the proper storyline.

Cheers --84.90.219.128 (talk) 14:26, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

I'll take care of that storyline, later today. --84.90.219.128 (talk) 16:21, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Done, you can add the chart now if you want, it will have been a good teamwork. Thanks. --84.90.219.128 (talk) 23:27, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Please note that I plan to close this review at the end of December 24 UTC if you have not posted the start of it by then. You've already had a month and a week to start it, and I'm allowing you two weeks from the above review. It really isn't far to the nominator to claim a review but not do it. I hope to see your post there in the next 32 hours. Many thanks for your attention to this matter. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:41, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
