Alexander Roslin
I trimmed and tweaked that final section some. The references still need work--the last four are incomplete, inconsistent. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 02:52, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Winter Olympics DYK
Hey Matt! I see you're quite active in nominating Winter Olympics-related DYKs. I myself am trying to get the Bolshoy Ice Dome article to be featured on Sunday (in time for the men's ice hockey final) and have notified the DYK talkpage. If, however, my nom goes unreviewed by the end of today, could I trouble you to have a look at it? Cheers! —Bloom6132 (talk) 08:35, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- I'll have a look, it's not as short notice as some of mine have been... That DYK will get you a lot of Cup points! Thanks, Matty.007 08:54, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks a million Matt! I owe you a big favour in return. As a sidenote, the Cup bonus won't be that big, given that most of the interwiki articles were created after January 1. —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:15, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- No problem, I've had a few last minute noms... I didn't realise the links had to be there before January 1. You still get 10 points for a large article though don't you? Thanks, Matty.007 09:46, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, the rule was made because one could game the rules throughout the tournament by simply creating foreign-language stubs in other wikis to inflate the multiplier. I know at least one user this year who was called out even though he made stubs himself before 31 December 2013 – the judges ruled that since those articles on the other wikis were still stubs, it appeared that he was trying to artificially inflate the importance of those articles. As for the Ice Dome article, it's under 5,120 characters, so no 5 "extra base points". However, the pre-2008 status gives me 5 bonus points, so coupled with the 1.4× multiplier (2 pts), it'll give me 12 points in total. If all 24 existing interwikis were included, it would've given me a 1.8× (4 pts) bonus and only one interwiki off from 2×. Cheers! —Bloom6132 (talk) 13:31, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

March GOCE copyedit drive
Notes from the Guild of Copy Editors
 The March 2014 backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles in need of copyediting. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copyedit all articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and to complete all requests placed in January 2014. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copyedits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: number of articles, number of words, number of articles over 5,000 words, number of articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and the longest article. We hope to see you there!  – Your drive coordinators: Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978 and Miniapolis To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

WikiCup 2014 February newsletter
And so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:
Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer whose high-quality scans of rare banknotes represent an unusual, interesting and valuable contribution to Wikipedia. Most of Godot's points this round have come from a large set of pictures used in Treasury Note (1890–91).
Adam Cuerden (submissions), a WikiCup veteran and a finalist last year, Adam is also a featured picture specialist, focusing on the restoration of historical images. This month's promotions have included a carefully restored set of artist William Russell Flint's work.
WikiRedactor (submissions), another WikiCup newcomer. WikiRedactor has claimed points for good article reviews and good articles relating to pop music, many of which were awarded bonus points. Articles include Sky Ferreira, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus and "Wrecking Ball" (Miley Cyrus song).
Other competitors of note include:
Hahc21 (submissions), who helped take Thirty Flights of Loving through good article candidates and featured article candidates, claiming the first first featured article of the competition.
Prism (submissions), who claimed the first featured list of the competition with Natalia Kills discography.
Cwmhiraeth (submissions), who takes the title of the contributor awarded the highest bonus point multiplier (resulting in the highest scoring article) of the competition so far. Her high-importance salamander, now a good article, scored 108 points.
After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). 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 at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Template:Did you know nominations/HMS Cressy (1899)
Matty.007, I have just posted a note to this nomination template. Basically, you nominated this as a Good Article DYK before it had been passed as a GA—you're only supposed to nominate within five days after listing, yet the GAN was still ongoing on February 26. Worse, Cas Liber passed it on February 28, before it became a Good Article. (It passed about 10 hours later.) I'm hoping both of you can explain what went wrong on the nomination template. Since the article has only just become eligible, I'm not worried about delaying the promotion by a day or two while we figure this out.
I'd like to ask you to be more careful when you nominate articles by others for DYK. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:02, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

There is an IP editor who removed some sections/parts from it earlier, and I don't want to vandalize it again because this week I am very busy with my exams. Thanks again!

Jade Etherington
Hi, matty. I'll back off Jade's article for a while to stop overlap. Cheers FruitMonkey (talk) 11:28, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- No, I was just stopping (unless you have something else to do), in order to take it to DYK. Thanks, Matty.007 11:29, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, go on then; I'll do a bit more :) Thanks, Matty.007 11:36, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- OK, I am done with it for now. Thanks, Matty.007 11:40, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- If you want to nominate it for DYK be my guest; and all three of the boy skiers have been added in the last few days. We could make it a multiple DYK. FruitMonkey (talk) 11:49, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- FruitMonkey: I didn't realise that; please can you give their names? Nom is Template:Did you know nominations/Jade Etherington. Thanks, Matty.007 11:51, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Mick Brennan (alpine skier), Ben Sneesby and James Whitley (alpine skier), though Whitley may need some more work to bring it up to DYK status. FruitMonkey (talk) 12:18, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

- Thanks for the Barnstar Matty, I'll polish it up and put in pride of place in my gallery. I have also started an article for the final British Winter Para-athlete, Anna Turney, but it's starting to get late and wine is beckoning, I tend to stop editing for my own sake when that happens.

- Sorry, I was just shutting up shop yesterday evening. DYK nom is at Template:Did you know nominations/Anna Turney. Thanks, Matty.007 12:05, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Matty, you asked me a few days ago if there was an infosport link for all the athletes, and I missed the message. The answer is yes, there is. Here are all the British athletes, but all competitors for all nations have an article here. It's a great resource lifted from the official Olympics database, which is not useable as it does not display a web address for the athletes, as its based on a drop down. Hope it helps.

BLP age question
Thanks for taking that question forward, as I had been slapped down for including a minor's age when I was setting up articles for British Para-athletes last summer, some of them between the ages of 14 and 16. I don't think it changes the article too much, but I tend to err on the side of caution. It's good to get a clearer answer. Cheers FruitMonkey (talk) 19:43, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
