Hi there! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify's
August Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog size by over 1,000 articles and we need your help! Hard-working participants in the drive will receive
awards for their contributions! If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks!

I noticed your edits on National Film Award for Best Actor about including images of the winners. Do they have rationale for their respective usage? Earlier there was an attempt to use film posters on 57th National Film Awards which were reverted due to lack of rationale. Thanks. Vivvt ( talk) 03:51, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

We are half way through the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; there is less than a month to go before we have our final 8. Our pool leaders are Adabow ( submissions) (Pool A, 189 points) and PresN ( submissions) (Pool B, 165 points). The number of points required to reach the next round is not clear at this time; there are some users who still do not have any recorded points. Please remember to update your submissions' pages promptly. In addition, congratulations to PresN, who scored the first featured topic points in the competition for his work on Thatgamecompany related articles. Most points this round generally have, so far, come from good articles, with only one featured article ( White-bellied Sea Eagle, from Casliber ( submissions)) and two featured lists ( Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story, from PresN and Grammy Award for Best Native American Music Album, from Another Believer ( submissions)). Points for Did You Know and good article reviews round out the scoring. No points have been awarded for In the News, good topics or featured pictures this round, and no points for featured sounds or portals have been awarded in the entire competition. On an unrelated note, preparation will be beginning soon for next year's WikiCup- watch this space!
There is little else to be said beyond the usual. Please list anything you need reviewing on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, so others following the WikiCup can help, and please do help if you can by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup- points are, of course, offered for reviews at GAC. Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Thanks for all the work you did in making
Nauru at the 2008 Summer Olympics a certified "Good Article"! Your work is much appreciated.
In the spirit of celebration, you may wish to review one of the Good Article nominees that someone else nominated, as there is currently a backlog, and any help is appreciated. All the best, – Quadell ( talk) |

Hello, can you please tell me why have you removed my following five pages and put them into your own bar? Like John James Bond, Chithi (TV series), Chess for Juniors, Asaiki Tamai and Children's World (magazine). I have wikified them before you and added to my log, then why you removed them? Please talk about them.-- —Assassin'S Creed (talk) 17:34, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Bill
Some time ago you asked about information on Israeli sportspeople in the Asian Games. As I told you, I have details of all the Israeli results which are based on a series of books published in Israel (in Hebrew off course) that I have in my library. You can see an example of that info in Israel at the 1954 Asian Games. In later Games the number of Israeli athletes increased considerably and it will be a time consuming task for me. The info is translated to English by me, and in most cases I can't take responsibility for the accuracy of names as well as other information and have no other source to verify it (unless you know of one). Please tell me if the format looks good.-- Nitsansh ( talk) 02:15, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey Bill, any plans on expanding the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games article and results page? Or do you plan on leaving it alone? Intoronto1125 Talk Contributions 22:18, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
hello my name is yarin zachary taylor . [email protected] DOB 12/12/1968
On 9 August 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article National Film Award for Best Actor, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Amitabh Bachchan is the most frequent winner since 2000 at the National Film Award for Best Actor ( India), winning two awards? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template talk:Did you know/National Film Award for Best Actor.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hey Bill, I don't think its necessary to create nation articles for such a minor event. What do you think? Intoronto1125 Talk Contributions 23:20, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi again, Bill. The copy edit is done; another very good article! One thing, though—in the "Changes in medal standings" section, the table is missing a left-bottom border. I'm still learning tables and you seem to be very good with them; is that the nature of the beast, or does the markup need tweaking? I took a quick look at the markup and didn't see anything obvious, but you're a better judge than I am. Good luck and all the best, Miniapolis ( talk) 19:20, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

"National Film Awards" - that's the official name used to present the award each year. The awards are presented only in English and not Hindi, and that has been their name since their inception. You can see the latest publications of the NFA catalogue, which is published in English only. The reulations and the rules are also presented in English. What you said now is completely wrong. "Rajat Kamal" is actually the title given to a certain section of awards presented at the National Film Awards, along with "Swarna Kamal" (and even when they write it in their catalogues, they write it in English). Please do not add this (most unnecessary) script unless you can provide reliable sources supporting the addition and your claim. Thank you, Shahid • Talk2me 14:46, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Shahid is right, I really don't see why you've added the Hindi when universally it is in English.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:08, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Hey there, I appreciate the concern about Goswami but the page was a muddled mess that combined the Brahmin caste with the general term for a specific kind of renunciate. Since the Goswamis were listed as Assamese, I used the Assamese form. If that is an issue, please do not just revert the entire page, as it reverts to the muddled mess that changes topic every sentence. Ogress smash! 12:03, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
According to WP:SOCIALMEDIA, "Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves" as long as "4.there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity" "This policy also applies to pages on social networking sites such as Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook." Everything I added to the Adrianne Curry article was sourced directly from Curry, including her verified Twitter account and a video of her speaking to her computer camera. There is clearly no problem with my edits. I am readding them. 67.167.133.195 ( talk)

The finals are upon us; we're down to the last few. One of the eight remaining contestants will be this year's WikiCup champion! 150 was the score needed to progress to the final; just under double the 76 required to reach round 4, and more than triple the 41 required to reach round 3. Our eight finalists are:
We say goodbye to our seven other semi-finalists, Another Believer ( submissions), Piotrus ( submissions), Grandiose ( submissions), Stone ( submissions), Eisfbnore ( submissions), Canada Hky ( submissions) and MuZemike ( submissions). Everyone still in the competition at this stage has done fantastically well, and contributed greatly to Wikipedia. We're on the home straight now, and we will know our winner in two months.
In other news, preparations for next year's competition have begun with a brainstorming thread. Please, feel free to drop by and share any thoughts you have about how the competition should work next year. Sign ups are not yet open, but will be opened in due course. Watch this space. Further, there has been a discussion about the rule whereby those in the WikiCup must delcare their participation when nominating articles at featured article candidates. This has resulted in a bot being created by new featured article delegate Ucucha ( talk · contribs). The bot will leave a message on FAC pages if the nominator is a participant in the WikiCup.
A reminder of the rules: any points scored after August 29 may be claimed for the final round, and please remember to update submission pages promptly. If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!
