If you aren't too busy, it would great if you could review Summer Love (Justin Timberlake song). Statυs ( talk) 23:29, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
For some reason, I thought it was a good idea to start and do another project. What do you think? I basically did the entire article, as it was mainly just focusing on the Pussycat Dolls version of the song; which I moved to a separate article. Statυs ( talk) 18:08, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

We meet once again. Statυs ( talk) 02:12, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Apologies for the lateness of this letter; our usual bot wasn't working. We are now entering round 4, our semi-finals, and have our final 16. A score of 243 was required to reach this round; significantly more than 2011's 76 points, and only a little behind 2010's 250 points. By comparison, last year, 150 points in round 4 secured a place in the final; in 2010, 430 were needed. Commiserations to Pool A's
igordebraga (
submissions), who scored 242 points, missing out on a place in the round by a whisker. However, congratulations to Pool B's
Grapple X (
submissions), whose television articles have brought him another round victory. Pool A's
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions) came second overall, with an impressive list of biological did you knows, good articles and featured articles. Third overall was Pool D's
Muboshgu (
submissions), with a long list of contibutions, mostly relating to baseball. Of course, with the points resetting every round, the playing field has been levelled. The most successful Pool was Pool D, which saw seven into the final round. Pool B saw four, C saw three and Pool A saw only the two round leaders.
A quick note about other competitions taking place on Wikipedia which may be of interest. There are 13 days remaining in the June-July GAN backlog elimination drive, but it is not too late to take part. August will also see the return of The Core Contest- a one month long competition first run in 2007. While the WikiCup awards points for audited content on any subject, The Core Contest about is raw article improvement, focussing heavily on the most important articles on Wikipedia. As ever, 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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Toa,
I am allowed to add my comments. Only once did I edit another's comments and after that I added my own. You have removed my comments on FAQs 1, 2, and 4 and thus committed the same violation you accuse me of, disruption and vandalism.
How and where can I reply to your comments on my message "Massive violation of Wikipedia Five Pillars on this page"?
I don't know how and where to reply to this:
Thank you. Beasley Reece ( talk) 19:52, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering if you can give me a review, as you offer on the Request an RfA nomination. I'm not certain I am qualified to be one, let alone if I would pass, but I want to receive advice on areas I can improve on and how my chances would be in a prospective adminship bid. Toa Nidhiki05 21:56, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
Furthermore, it implies to me that you do not comprehend the effect of blocks on editors, especially civility blocks - something so subjective. Civility is something we do need to manage, but I have yet to see an example of blocks being an effective method for improving civility. Indeed, we allow editors a certain amount of leeway in the civility code when they are blocked, venting off steam, therefore we must accept that blocks reduce civility.
You claimed Bwilkins was "enabling" Malleus. I can't say I know the history between the two, but in that conversation, I see that he was trying to reduce drama. Taking certain editors to ANI only increases drama, baying for blood and general escalation of the situation. It's not the right way to handle it. ANI has it's place, this wasn't it.
In case you think I'm one of the "WP:GANG" - I've rarely interacted with Malleus, and I get the impression he's not keen on me from those interactions, but I did a lot of investigation into his edits back during the civility case.
I've done a partial revert with explanation in the edit summary. I think that editor should have probably just been asked for supporting diffs, and then the entire thing dropped at that point. The way the community got riled up doesn't speak well for polite discourse. I went ahead and re-hatted the debate, as your edit did, with a mild change to the wording of the hat to be more neutral in tone, and undone the strikethrough. The thing that is surprising to me after looking deeper into this is that the editor seems like they might have been inappropriately blocked after their comment, which speaks paradoxically to the very comment they made at the RfA. While it seems Sarah has a lot of popular support, a single comment in opposition should have been able to be tolerated better by the community, and if it was hatted, it should have been for the legitimate reason that it was not supported after support was requested, not because they were later 'convicted' of socking, especially for a fairly mild comment. -- Avanu ( talk) 19:02, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

We're approaching the beginning of 2012's final round. Pool A sees
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions) as the leader, with 300 points being awarded for the featured article
Bivalvia, and Pool B sees
Grapple X (
submissions) in the lead, with 10 good articles, and over 35 articles eligible for good topic points. Pool A sees
Muboshgu (
submissions) in second place with a number of articles relating to baseball, while Pool B's
Ruby2010 (
submissions) follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film
Pride & Prejudice. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.
Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions!

It's hard to imagine anyone would believe the no-plane-theory...in fact, it's so preposterous that I automatically assume that any "new" editor that shows up to promote such stupidities is just an internet troll. It's also interesting to see how these newbies know about Wikipedia terminology like "vandalism" and have a decent grasp of wiki-markup right off the bat.-- MONGO 19:51, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Somewhat belated I know, but thanks for your recent participation in my RfA. I appreciate your thoughts on the matter and I hope I continue to see you around in the future.
Oh, and I'd also like to say that I hope I get the opportunity to support you at a future RfA whenever you're ready to take one on. Having read Worm That Turned's assessment above, I think you're probably not too far off from the point where you could be a great admin — although heavily expanded on, none of the things he raised are especially huge issues, but it would definitely help to develop a more nuanced approach to dispute resolution. I have a feeling you'll be ready for the bit in a few months time, actually. =)
