Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive

Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

GA Cup

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

WikiProject Good Articles - GA Cup


WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers.

Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition.

Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges.

Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan.

National Film Registry

Hi Nehrams,

You did a great job in developing the National Film Registry article; congratulations on getting it up to featured list status back in 2009! I wanted to call your attention to a question that was asked on the article's talk page here, which you may not have seen. I had the same question when reading the article; if "inclusion on the list is not a guarantee of actual preservation", what does it mean that the NFR "is the United States National Film Preservation Board's selection of films for preservation in the Library of Congress"? Would it be more accurate to say that the NFR is the NFPB's recommendation to the Library of Congress on what films should be preserved? This idea seems to contradict the National Film Preservation Board article, which suggests that the NFPB is the official body that determines which films will be preserved by the Library of Congress. Any help you might provide in clearing up this confusion would be greatly appreciated.

GAN help

Hi. You are one of two editors I found on the GA mentor list that I am asking this question. I am currently reviewing my fourth GA nomination, however, I have never reviewed or nominated an article anywhere near this small before: Lum You. See my review in progress at Talk:Lum You/GA1. I'm needing the opinion of someone who is more experience than I am; I understand as per GA guidelines that size alone is not criteria for failing a GA, though i'm not sure if this article is broad enough to be a GA. On coverage alone, could this potentially be a GA, or is it not detailed enough? Don't worry about any of the other issues, I don;t want to take up any more of your time that I have to, and this is the only issue I am unsure about. Thanks for your time.

Hi! I have used your image on Interstate 8. However, it seems that there is an issue with the licensing of the picture, as mentioned here: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Interstate 8/archive1. Do you have any thoughts as to how this should be handled? As it stands now, the image would probably have to be deleted since I don't think the licensing is sufficient for Commons either. --Rschen7754 04:39, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello. Found you through Wikipedia:WikiProject_Film/Participants#American cinema. Would you consider commenting at Wikipedia:Peer review/Citizen Kane/archive2? It was at the backlog for almost a month without any response. Though I've joined it, I'm largely unfamiliar with American drama films in general. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 06:30, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
