2016 GA Cup
![]() Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 3rd GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been two GA Cups; both were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 500 nominations listed and about 450 articles waiting to be reviewed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 3rd GA Cup will begin on March 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on July 31, 2016), but this may change based on participant numbers. There will be slight changes to the scoring system, based upon feedback we've received in the months since GA Cup #2. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same. We're also looking to spice up the competition a bit by running parallel competitions. Finally, there's a possibility of assisting a WikiProject Good Articles backlog drive in the last three weeks of February, before our competition. Please stay tuned for more information as we get it. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on February 20, 2015. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Ridge Racer
Hi,
I added the album info (hopefully it's all right, though I'm not sure if it was recorded in 1994 or 1993, or if the track list needs a citation.) as you suggested in the GA review, and some other info. What do you think are the chances of FA? Adam9007 (talk) 03:46, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hey. I think the article is looking in better shape than when I passed it, so an FA is definitely a possibility. Some people would suggest that track listings are WP:GAMECRUFT, but I strongly disagree, as long as the track listings are relevant to the game, so I wouldn't worry about that. I can't speculate, but it sounds like it was recorded in 1993, unless it truly took 21 days to complete! JAGUAR 19:58, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've seen video game articles such as Final Fantasy Tactics (a FA) have such album info, and I agree that it is not merely a game's soundtrack listing, but info about an album based on and directly related to the game; they're not the same thing!. Adam9007 (talk) 22:48, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- True, and also three Wipeout games (which I brought to GA a while ago) has track listings included because they're all music-orientated games, so I think it's relevant. And Ridge Racer focuses a lot on its music too, so I wouldn't worry about getting rid of them! JAGUAR 11:15, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- This has just occurred to me; the use of British English. Following the GA review and because nobody's objected, shall I assume consensus and add the relevant templates? Adam9007 (talk) 22:24, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- Sounds good. I would add a template but for some reason the option to do so isn't showing up. Always better to use that than the alternative! JAGUAR 22:28, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if there was another variety of English (or dates for that matter, but there is now a use dmy template) consistently in use before but as far as I'm aware, the GA review and here are the first discussions where it was decided that British English is okay, so I'm taking that to mean it is. Adam9007 (talk) 22:34, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- Sure, British English should be fine. It doesn't really matter what variant is used in an article, just as so long as it's consistent and doesn't have strong national ties, which in this case, Ridge Racer doesn't. JAGUAR 22:36, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- I did it purely for consistency (require for FA I believe). I've added the template to the article, but I can't add a page notice because I'm not an administrator or template editor. Adam9007 (talk) 22:41, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- I just created a page notice, so it should be up there when you edit now. Not a spot of ugly English in sight! JAGUAR 22:45, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Just a note that in one of your edit here, you added a link to a file name, which caused an error in the file name. Given that you have made a large number of edits, I just thought that you should check that you haven't inadvertently cause similar mistakes in other edits. Hzh (talk) 18:34, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Theatre Europe
![]() | On 12 February 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Theatre Europe, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 1986 video game Theatre Europe required the player to call a dedicated telephone number to request a nuclear strike? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Theatre Europe. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, 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. |

AWB edits re linking China
Please be more cautious / thorough; unlike "the Ukraine", "the China" is unidiomatic and 'China' was not founded in 1949. CaradhrasAiguo (talk) 00:17, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that one out. Usually just 'China' would be more appropriate in virtually 99% of its usage, as full country names like Commonwealth of Australia and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are never used! JAGUAR 00:20, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
Banjo Kazooie merge.
@Jaguar, I am sick of your behavior. I know that you are very protective about this article, but you need to face the facts. Nothing stays on Wikipedia permanently. In fact some major articles get merged with all the time. I understand that this is your first article, but I've also created articles that have been deleted or merged. So, please consider this and just move on? Thanks.

AWB errors
Your recent edits on Ak zhelken, Aksu Canyon, Aktas, Alga, Almaty and ~40 more replaced {{Unreferenced|date=May 2011}} to {{|date=May 2011}}. Could you please clean them up. Bgwhite (talk) 10:18, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Delinking countries
Late January 2016, there was a discussion about your use of AWB to delink countries from many articles (see User talk:Jaguar/Archive 20#Please stop. I asked you there at the end of the discussion "In general, please don't remove links to the country a geographic location is in from articles on that geographic location.", and you agreed to "I'll ask for opinions before I set out unlinking the names of countries again."
I notice that you are now (in your most recent edits) doing the exact same thing, unlinking Iran from articles on villages in Iran, e.g. here, here, here, here and here? Strangely, inbetween those edits you didn't remove it from here, but there you made other errors pointed out by Bgwhite above (strangely, it isn't an either/or situation, as you did both here).
Among these hundred of edits which probably shouldn't have been made, you also include things like this, where you completely remove the unreferenced template from an unreferenced article. The same happened here.
Before the Iran articles, you did the same on Kazakhstan articles like here. This run also included removals of unreferenced templates on unreferenced articles[1] and the incorrect partial removal of the template[2]. Mongolia was the target before that for your unwarranted removal of the unreferenced template (e.g. [3], and Indonesia for the country removal[4]
You clearly have some problems with your script and seem to be running it unsupervised. Additionally, it looks as if the removal of the countrie links is not supported by consensus and guidelines, as shown in that previous discussion, but perhaps you have had a discussion and consensus since that supports your actions. For the former problems, just stop, correct the previous errors, correct your script, and don't run AWB unsupervised. For the latter, either show that discussion you had since the January talk page discussion and that supports your actions, or stop them completely and revert your changes. Otherwise you are undoubtedly heading towards WP:AN and a probable block. Fram (talk) 12:29, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Fram: I've removed the script I've been using and am currently in the middle of replacing all of the deleted links to the countries. This includes Vietnam, Iran, Mongolia and Kazakhstan. It's only now that I understand what has happened; I programmed AWB to remove overlinkage after the comma in the first opening sentence of a desired article (eg. x village, x county, x district, Iran), so now I'm manually re-adding the links back. In addition, I'm fixing the {{unreferenced}} tags Bgwhite noted above. To do this I'm going past my contributions over four days, so it will most likely take a couple of hours. I'll post back when it's finished. JAGUAR 13:15, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

24 hour block
You were warned to check your AWB scripts and to not let it run unsupervised (or to check your AWB edits). But after the above two sections, you are still making the same error again and again. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]...
And readding a link doesn't mean to link it every time it appears, like [15] (extreme example, but many others with same issue). If you had just undid your previous edits instead, it would have caused much less problems.
After the block expires, please make sure that all noted problems are solved before reusing AWB, and check your edits before saving (or immediately undo an accidental save which shouldn't have happened, that's no problem either). Otherwise your AWB access will be removed. Fram (talk) 14:19, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- I don't know if you can mass-rollback edits through AWB, and even if I did, I wouldn't because the majority of my edits didn't just involve de-linking the country names. The mass-cleanup was intended to correct typos, syntax and remove genuine overlink such as "village" and "town". I have a day to think this over though, I'll look into it. I disabled adding links in templates, and I programmed it so it only re-adds the name of the country after a comma in the opening sentence. I'll have to think about how to approach this. The {{unreferenced}} template is no problem, I can fix that tomorrow. JAGUAR 14:24, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- I've got a hospital appointment tomorrow, so I'm not going to start the process straight after this expires. I'm just saying to bear that in mind if I don't edit tomorrow, but if you're inclined, increase the block till Wednesday or just take my RL priorities into account. JAGUAR 14:41, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not going to block you for not editing, no worries. Fram (talk) 14:48, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- I think you need to give serious thought to whether the correct approach to this would simply be to stop using AWB completely. You must be aware that there is an increasing number of threads on your talk page questioning the validity of your edits and the impact they are having is magnified because of their sheer volume. You will remember how another admin and I had to revert well over a thousand edits you made without any contact with the relevant WP project. Take a look at my edit count stats, I would class myself as a relatively heavy editor of WP, but you will see the spike in last month's edit count. That spike is entirely down to fixing edits you had made. Given that the regularity with which concerns are being raised, I am worried that there are thousands of edits that you have made which do not have consensus and are therefore not constructive. My opinion overall is that the edits you are making are of marginal benefit to the project and it would not really impact anyone were they not done at all. I would suggest it would be better for everyone if you were to stop using AWB, at least for a period of time and use that time to get involved in another area, before sufficient opinion is generated that leads to you having AWB rights removed.

- I had to fix about a dozen of these. really really bad. template:section is not what you want there. Frietjes (talk) 20:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- When these template errors and link fixes are finished, I won't use AWB for this kind of thing again, let alone anything else for a while. I would be lying if I said I wasn't embarrassed about all this. At first I received a couple of barnstars and numerous "thanks" for removing overlinks (particularly the names of countries), so that gave me some quiet inspiration to continue. I did indeed honour Fenix and Fram's request to stop removing the links to countries, but it was only this morning that I realised I didn't alter the script properly. If a bot could rollback my edits with that created the malformed templates, that would be good but I'm not overkeen on rollbacking all of them because the majority of them did remove genuine overlinks and fix typos. In the mean time, I've got AWB at the ready to re-add the country links for tomorrow, if not, as soon as I can get to it. JAGUAR 21:17, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Compass points
I note that the most common change in the above contentious edits, apart from delinking the country, was adding hyphenation to compass points. This has been the subject of an AN discussion, and it became clear there that doing this for British English subjects is correct. However, you seem to do this for all countries and articles, no matter if they are normally written in British English, American English, or no particular version. In the latter two cases, your change should not be made. Examples include the Philippines, which have no clear British links but have been under US rule for quite a while. Can you explain why you made changes like this one?
If you were indeed incorrect to make these, it is again an argument why it would have been better to simply revert your changes instead of trying to correct one problem only. Fram (talk) 16:09, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- Vietnam and the Philippines are the two batches of cleanups that I know that don't use hyphenated compass-points. They both have ties to the US (heh, Vietnam definitely does), so when I get to it I'll de-hyphenate them. This was an oversight, but I'll de-hyphenate them along with adding back the country links. JAGUAR 21:17, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- Please simply revert all your edits in this country batch. Contrary to what you say, there were very few that actually corrected any typos or anything similar, the most useful some of them did was unlink "river", but undoing that change is a very small price to make certain that all your other problematic edits are solved. I've looked at at least a hundred of these, and I can't really recall any typo being fixed in any of them. Fram (talk) 07:42, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- I agree. I don't know how to rollback through AWB, but pinpointing them through making a list of Vietnam and Philippines edits should be easy. Perhaps if I made a list, a bot could rollback them? Anyway, now that I'm unblocked I'll start fine-tuning AWB again and will get back to it, albeit slower this time. To accomplish this, I've gotten rid of the script and have manually typed in ", Philippines." to ", Philippines" in the 'Find and replace' so it should ignore everything in templates (and with the full stop added, it should be pinpointed to the lead). Once all of the country links have been re-added, I'll remove the hyphenated compass-points in Vietnam and Philippines articles separately, as I can't do both because it will remove the hyphens in all articles. It shouldn't take too long, but I'm still open to rollbacking them (if I knew how). JAGUAR 18:34, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- All done. It took slightly longer than expected. JAGUAR 19:58, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

So why the need to link Indonesia on articles that already have links to the province? What particular policy or antithesis from WP:SEAOFBLUE exists? I would have thought a linked item to a province is sufficient. JarrahTree 00:17, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- Please see above, I was blocked because of de-linking the names of countries, and was made to re-link them all again. JAGUAR 19:12, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- You were actually blocked for continuing to mess up unreferenced templates while de- and relinking countries, not really for the delinking itself. If you had continued with the delinking, then you would probably have been blocked for that, but the actual block wasn't for that. Fram (talk) 20:44, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- well from all of that It is none the clearer, It looks like you should understand clearly as to why you were blocked for a start. JarrahTree 23:02, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
Linking of countries
Hi Jaguar. Don't want to add to the problems you have been having with linking/unlinking country names, but when you are restoring the links, please try to make sure you do NOT link the name within an image file title, as happened at [16], as this breaks the table and causes the map image not to display, which I am sure was not your intention. Skinsmoke (talk) 03:08, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hi. I remember that one, and that was before I corrected that mistake by checking the "ignore all templates" box. I think that there only a couple of them, but they should have been all be eliminated when I went through them a second time. Regards JAGUAR 17:21, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
The article MediEvil you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:MediEvil for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Miniapolis from the GOCE has completed the c/e process and i've nominated it for GA. Can you please review it? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:43, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- Sure, I've taken it. That reminds me, I was in London in April 2014 and I was caught up in an area where there was some serious filming going on. I was convinced I witnessed this film being made because I saw some motorbike scenes, but after reading the article I realised it wasn't this because shooting of 1: Nenokkadine ended in December 2013. Huh... JAGUAR 14:59, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
GA Review for Drishyam
JAGUAR Can you review the article Drishyam for Good Article? JØ 07:24, 24 February 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by JO Bieson (talk • contribs)
- JO Bieson, he will not review it because he is busy with the GA review of 1: Nenokkadine. Plus, you should only nominate an article when you find it significantly developed, and if you are the top contributor to it. In this case, User:Josephjames.me should be the rightful nominator of Drishyam, and you should have improved Amar Akbar Anthony before nominating it. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:50, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Kailash29792. I am new here JO Bieson (talk • contribs) —Preceding undated comment added 07:58, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @Kailash29792: It might not be my place to comment, but I don't think you can talk on behalf of Jaguar; it's not impossible to review two GANs at the same time, so I think it's best for Jaguar to comment on his own commitments. As for "the rightful nominator of Drishyam": there is none. While WP:GAN/I suggests that non-regular editors to the article should consult regular editors, it is certainly not a guideline and JO Bieson should not be condemned for the nomination (instead, perhaps a helpful tip would be more suitable). But, again, this may not be my place to comment; I just figured I'd say something. – Rhain ☔ 09:12, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- I wish to review that article after he completes the article he is reviewing. Is it okey ? JØ (talk) 10:08, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hi JO Bieson, I've just finished the review of 1: Nenokkadine so I can take yours now. I can take two at a time, don't worry about that. I remember one time I reviewed five GANs at the same time! Anybody can nominate an article for GA, just as so long it near enough meets the GA criteria. If you're not the main contributor, then it's usually courtesy to let the main contributor(s) know that you're planning to nominate it, in most cases. Sorry for the late reply. I'll finish the review within 24 hours. JAGUAR 22:37, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

The reviewer of the streak award |
Today, i have 24 GAs and one GA-turned-FA, and my GAN success streak stands at 25-0! ![]() |
- Great. Keep it up! JØ 03:54, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you Pavan! Well done on your streak. I've never known anyone to have 25 GAs and no failed nominations! JAGUAR 16:14, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- I'm unsure how long this would go. Once, The Undertaker said that streaks are made to be broken, and i agree with him completely. Anyways, thanks for reviewing this article. I want to see more entries in this page and you can understand why if you observe the Eiffel tower there. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:32, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- I agree; obviously the ultimate goal of Wikipedia would be to have six million FAs, but a lack of manpower and motivation from active editors contributes to the lack of quality content. The Eiffel Tower is a good way of looking at it, I've never though of it like that before! I wouldn't worry about breaking your streak too much. My first six or seven GANs failed in 2010, and really it's only been since 2014 that I've started contributing to a lot of GAs. JAGUAR 16:39, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for that, Jaguar. Taking liberty of the fact that you have watched a few Telugu films in the past, i would like to recommend you to watch Manam (2014). I've recommended it and Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu to all my friends here, except you. You've watched the latter when you reviewed its GAN last September. Now my spree would be complete if you watch Manam. It is not compulsory, but it is surely a very good film. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:40, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'll try to watch Manam as soon as I can. I enjoyed watching Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu and am keen on watching any Telugu film you recommend. JAGUAR 17:03, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Congratulations on getting Jumping Flash! to FA! Your dedication to content on Wikipedia is consistently noticed and strongly appreciated, and this is just further evidence of that. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished, both with this FA and otherwise. Well done. – Rhain ☔ 22:55, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, Rhain! I can hardly believe myself that a game nobody would most likely never hear of is now featured content on Wikipedia. It's a fitting end to its forgotten legacy. Of course, I couldn't have done it without help from others. JAGUAR 22:57, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

- Thank you so much Pavan! It's only now that I feel that getting an article to FA is possible, after the so many failures I've had over the years. I hope for a few more FAs at least. JAGUAR 11:59, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- Happy to hear that. I too hope to have my next FAC in the latter half of 2016. This time, it will not be as old as Mayabazar. It is a film with unmatched legacy and i don't think i can try to bring some other old Telugu film article to FA on par with it.
Pavanjandhyala (talk) 12:01, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- Which one is it? I'll keep an eye on it, if you ever start bringing it up to FA. As always, I'll try to help out where I can. I've already got a couple more articles to send to FAC, but I'm anxious about my luck. JAGUAR 12:05, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- Go ahead and try. Who knows? You may have another FA to your credit! Being optimistic is the only way i guess. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 12:12, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm very sorry ....
I know you tried so very hard to help. — Ched : ? 12:09, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- I can't believe this has happened. I emailed her twice and I told her that I suffer from the same personal issues and was willing to help her, but I got worried when she never replied. I'm just in total shock, and I'm sure a lot of people will feel the same way. JAGUAR 12:17, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- Be proud of the comfort that you gave her Jaguar. You did great. I don't know anything about her real life, and I hope the people around her tried to help ... but you did everything you could from your end - and it's easy to see that it was a comfort to her. — Ched : ? 12:22, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you. I would have done more if I could. I wish things could have been different. I've had friends who have passed away in recent years, and I understand how upsetting it can be for everyone. I just still can't believe this, it's well and truly horrible... JAGUAR 12:31, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
