Your DYK nom of The Three Kings includes a link to a dab page

Hi, I'm not doing the DYK review of your nomination., but when I was adding mine I saw your hook includes a link to Epiphany which is a dab page (its also in the article) - I presume that is not intentional, but I don't know which article it should be linking to.— Rod ^talk 09:16, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Possible New Page

Hello! I have been directed here by Cwmhiraeth, to ask if you would co-operate with me in writing a new football article and nominate it for DYK (as apparently you tend to do that), so we can both get some WikiCup points! Thanks, Tube Geek 77 (talk) 21:30, 2 January 2017 (UTC) PS my idea was a bout the moth infestation before the Euro 2016 final.

Collaboration request

Hi The C of E, came across the new article on Antonín Cyril Stojan, which I feel could be suitable for DYK. I have done some work on it, but not sure if it is quite ready. I will go ahead and nominate it soon, but would appreciate any input which you may be able to give while the initial seven days elapse. Of course it's eligible for the WikiCup too. So please consider it. Thanks, C679 14:20, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter No.2

Hello The C of E,

A HUGE backlog

We now have 816 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.

Hitting 17,000 soon

The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.

Second set of eyes

Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.

Abuse

This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and

1. this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting in a community ban.
2. this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in a community ban.
3. This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry.

Coordinator election

Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

I took a look at your user page and played the sound file at the top. I was about ten seconds from pointing out to you that horrible vandalism of your user page (to place a patriotic American song on the user page of such an obviously patriotic British editor) when it occurred to me that a lot of patriotic American songs have stolen their melodies from elsewhere. At which point I promptly remembered hearing this before, in the Olympics.

Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells

Cute article, especially since I'm an uncultured American. I am, however, confused by this line:

"Although most Americans would not fully understand the reference, the town—which was the only council area in Kent to vote by a majority for Remain—was nonetheless considered to be a symbol of middle England."

Is it referring to Brexit or something? Cheers. —Deckiller (t-c-l) 09:09, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

@Deckiller: It was supposed to refer to Americans not understanding what "Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells" meant as per the source, the stuff about being the only area in Kent to vote remain was added by someone else and not by me which I think did break up the intent of the sentence. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:19, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

March 2017 WikiCup newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:

• Cas Liber, last year's winner, led the field with two featured articles on birds and a total score of 674.
• Iry-Hor, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with a featured article, a good article and a tally of 282 bonus points for a score of 517. All these points came from the article Nyuserre Ini, an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh,
• 1989, another WikiCup newcomer, was in joint third place at 240. 1989 has claimed points for two featured lists and one good article relating to anime and comedy series, all of which were awarded bonus points.
• Peacemaker67 shared third place with five good articles and thirteen good article reviews, mostly on naval vessels. He is also new to the competition.

The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.

So, on to the second round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Wrigley Field ivy

Thanks for making that change. I'm a bit hesitant to put this in the lead slot, since we had Mount Davis (Oakland) on April 2 and also ran your Home Run Apple hook on April 3. While I'm a big baseball fan, not everyone at DYK is. Yoninah (talk) 21:44, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Oh. Now I see on your talk page that Mount Davis got over 20,000 hits. Wow! And the Chicago Cubs are reigning world champions. So I will move it up ... Yoninah (talk) 21:46, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
