[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/FIFA Club World Cup/archive1|FIFA Club World Cup nomination]]
Well, between an admin and I, we have copyedited the page to death and there is literally nothing else I can do to improve it. I would like you to take a look at the article now. It should certainly be of FA quality now. If you need to know exactly what we improved on, you can look at the nomination itself (I added specific things I have done) as well as the article's talk page.

Pony!
Pony!
Congratulations! For your support of the William Robinson Brown FAC, you have received a pony! Ponies are cute, intelligent, cuddly, friendly (most of the time, though with notable exceptions), promote good will, encourage patience, and enjoy carrots. Treat your pony with respect and he will be your faithful friend! Montanabw(talk) 23:10, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

List of NFL tied games FLN
I've responded to your concerns on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of NFL tied games/archive1. Also, could I nominate an additional article for FL? The current one has been up for a while and all concerns have been addressed, which would seem to meet the criteria that allows a second nomination. If you are wondering what the article I wish to nominate is, it is 2,000-yard club. Toa Nidhiki05 21:57, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
- I don't see substantial support at that FLC yet (only one supporter as I write this), which is required for another nomination. If you get a second supporter, I would have no issue with a second nom, but until then I would hold off. Besides, if you were planning on nominating American football at FAC in the near-future, you're going to need all the editing time you can possibly muster on that front. Getting a major topic like that to FA is extremely difficult even when you have nothing else to do. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:17, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- I've fixed the two issues you've noted there, if you can check them over.
- I do intend to nominate American football (surprised anyone noticed that, actually) for FAC at some point after the peer review is over and after I find someone to do a thorough copyedit. At the moment, though, I have a few GANs up (National Football League, Carolina Panthers, and Safety (gridiron football score)) that I want to get out of the way first. It's going to take a good deal of effort on that, but I think getting it on-par with association football and baseball will be worth it. Toa Nidhiki05 18:33, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, I think the PR has closed already. It's unfortunate that the article apparently didn't get a review, but that's what happens when you have a limited number of reviewers at a process. Something, even an article on a popular topic, will slip through the cracks. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:19, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm quite disappointed with that one. I had hoped there would be a good run-down of issues, but that didn't happen - I've asked for a copyedit, so hopefully that can be productive for the page. Toa Nidhiki05 03:18, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments. I was unavailable the past few days (out of the country) and have only now realized that you have made the article review. I will try changing the article so that it will meet your criteria asap. Ratipok (talk) 11:13, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject Christianity Newsletter April 2013

ICHTHUS |
| April 2013 |
Membership report
The parent Christianity WikiProject currently has 357 active members. We would like to welcome our newest members, Thomas Cranmer, Mr.Oglesby, and Sneha Priscilla. Thank you all for your interest in this effort. We would be able to achieve nothing here without the input of all of you. If any members, new or not, wish any assistance, they should feel free to leave a message at the Christianity noticeboard or with me or other individual editors to request it.
From the Editor
We apologise for the hiatus in the publication of this newsletter due to unforseen circumstances leading to the wikibreak of John Carter, and so I have taken over as acting editor, and have taken this opportunity to move the publication date to the start of each month as planned, to better reflect on the previous month and look ahead to the next. This issue covers the period of time from mid-January to the end of March.
Since the last issue we have seen the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the election of Pope Francis. This has received much coverage both in the world media and on Wikipedia. While there is still much work to do, several quality articles have been written and the editors involved are thanked for their efforts.
This month we look ahead to Easter and the celebration of God's love for mankind through the crucifixion and resurrection of his Son Jesus Christ. With that, I wish you all happy reading!
P.S. Please click here to add the new Christianity noticeboard to your watchlist to follow the latest discussions relevant to WikiProject Christianity and subprojects.

Church of the month
This image of the Church of Saint Ildefonso, Portugal by Poco a poco was recently promoted to Featured Image. Thank you and congratulations for the great image!
Contest of the month
No particular contest this month. I am however getting rather close to getting together a more or less complete set of articles relating to different areas of Christianity which can be found in recent reference sources on the broad topic of Christianity, and about various subtopics, which I hope to have finished in the next few weeks. I wonder what the rest of you might think of, maybe, making the contests of future months be basically directed at filling in the gaps of our existing coverage of topics, like those topics given significant coverage in specialized reference works which we don't yet have content on, and giving the thanks, and rewards, whatever they might be, to those who create and develop such content. I am starting a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Christianity noticeboard#Future contests, and would very much welcome any input from interested parties in how to set it up, determine winners including how many winners, etc.

Christian art
Spotlight
The Spotlight this month turns to the the Jesus work group. The scope of this project includes the life and teachings of the central figure of Christianity, Jesus Christ and aims to write about them in a non-denominational encylopædic style. Top-priority articles include Jesus, Christ, Resurrection of Jesus, and Holy Grail, whereas High-priority articles include Aramaic Language, a former FA, as well as Sermon on the Mount, Lamb of God, and Passion (Christianity). The workgroup has also published two books, covering Christ's final days and the Parables of Jesus. The workgroup has two GAs, Nativity scene, and Jesus in Islam, but unfortunately the flagship article, Jesus was delisted in 2009. It is also responsible for three WP:1.0 articles, and the WikiWork of the project is 4.56, which indicates the "average" article is between Start and C class.
By Gilderien
Calendar
This coming month (end-March through end-April) includes Easter Sunday in Western Christianity and both Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday for the Eastern Orthodox Church. Other major feasts in the next month include those of Saint George, Saint Mark the Evangelist, Saint Stanislaus, James, son of Zebedee, and Benedict the Moor.
Help requests
Please let us know if there are any particular areas, either individual articles or topics, which you believe would benefit from outside help from a variety of other editors. We will try to include such requests in future issues.

WikiCup 2013 March newsletter
We are halfway through round two. Pool A sees the strongest competition, with five out of eight of its competitors scoring over 100, and Pool H is lagging, with half of its competitors yet to score. WikiCup veterans lead overall; Pool A's 
Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (2010's winner) leads overall, with poolmate 
Miyagawa (submissions) (a finalist in 2011 and 2012) not far behind. Pool F's 
Casliber (submissions) (a finalist in 2010, 2011 and 2012) is in third. The top two scorers in each pool, as well as the next highest 16 scorers overall, will progress to round three at the end of April.
Today has seen a number of Easter-themed did you knows from WikiCup participants, and March has seen collaboration from contestants with WikiWomen's History Month. It's great to see the WikiCup being used as a locus of collaboration; if you know of any collaborative efforts going on, or want to start anything up, please feel free to use the WikiCup talk page to help find interested editors. As well as fostering collaboration, we're also seeing the Cup encouraging the improvement of high-importance articles through the bonus point system. Highlights from the last month include GAs on physicist Niels Bohr (
Hawkeye7 (submissions)), on the European hare (
Cwmhiraeth (submissions)), on the constellation Circinus (
Keilana (submissions) and Casliber (submissions)) and on the Third Epistle of John (
Cerebellum (submissions)). All of these subjects were covered on at least 50 Wikipedias at the beginning of the year and, subsequently, each contribution was awarded at least three times as many points as normal.
Wikipedians who enjoy friendly competition may be interested in participating in April's wikification drive. While wikifying an article is typically not considered "significant work" such that it can be claimed for WikiCup points, such gnomish work is often invaluable in keeping articles in shape, and is typically very helpful for new writers who may not be familiar with formatting norms.
A quick reminder: now, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. 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!

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Cleveland Spiders Opening Day starting pitchers/archive1
Giants, why'd you archive my nomination? I was in the middle of addressing comments.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 10:55, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
- Because we were at just about two months and it didn't look like the list was going to have enough supporters to form a consensus any time soon. Once a list gets to that point, with FLC jammed with 40 or so noms, we simply can't keep the old noms up too much longer. If we did we would have trouble getting enough reviews at any one list to promote anything, like the trouble FAC is having right now. The best advice I can give you is to review a few of the lists at the bottom of FLC, which would help clear space for a re-nom. Giants2008 (Talk) 14:54, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
WikiCup 2013 April newsletter
We are a week into Round 3, but it is off to a flying start, with 
Sven Manguard (submissions) claiming for the high-importance Portal:Sports and Portal:Geography (which are the first portals ever awarded bonus points in the WikiCup) and Cwmhiraeth (submissions) claiming for a did you know of sea, the highest scoring individual did you know article ever submitted for the WikiCup. Round 2 saw very impressive scores at close; first place Casliber (submissions) and second place Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) both scored over 1000 points; a feat not seen in Round 2 since 2010. This, in part, has been made possible by the change in the bonus points rules, but is also testament to the quality of the competition this year. Pool C and Pool G were most competitive, with three quarters of participants making it to Round 3, while Pool D was the least, with only the top two scorers making it through. The lowest qualifying score was 123, significantly higher than last year's 65, 2011's 41 or even 2010's 100.
The next issue of The Signpost is due to include a brief update on the current WikiCup, comparing it to previous years' competitions. This may be of interest to current WikiCup followers, and may help bring some more new faces into the community. We would also like to note that this round includes an extra competitor to the 32 advertised, who has been added to a random pool. This extra inclusion seems to have been the fairest way to deal with a small mistake made before the beginning of this round, but should not affect the competition in a large way. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact one of the judges.
A rules clarification: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on 29/30 April, which may be claimed in this round. 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

A question
I have a question. On Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Academy Awards for Walt Disney/archive1, one user commented on one of the "Support" that "articles gain FL status based solely on the quality of the article". I asked the user who put the comment that if he believes that the quality of list is good for FL status then he can support it (based on quality).
But, what I want to understand is what will happen now. Will the list not be promoted till this is solved? Or can it still be promoted because the comment is not on the article, but instead, on someone's comment? Is there something that I should do now? Thank you.
