The article Red Ruffing you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Red Ruffing for things which need to be addressed.

Hello Muboshgu, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

Hi!
I dropped by to ask for clarification why you think that the article about Keith Mars in unencyclopedic. I tend to think otherwise. Civeel (talk) 17:38, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Dear Muboshgu, It has come to our attention that the Wikepedia article for Barry Loudermilk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Loudermilk) contains inaccurate information in the following online text: “Loudermilk and fellow state senator William Ligon were implicated in a racial discrimination suit brought upon them by a worker in their shared office in 2011. The case was settled by the State of Georgia.”
The article itself states that it was the Democrats who "implicated" the two Senators and not the case itself.
In a reasonable and good faith effort to maintain the accuracy and integrity of Wikipedia’s web content, we respectfully request a removal of the text above. Thank you very much.

What exactly is your problem with the edit I made to the above-referenced page? The source I cited was more authoritative than 90% of the other sources cited on that page and you know that very well. The head of the DEA clearly cited the source of her statement (which I directly quoted) in her article; this is it: White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, "What Americans Need to Know about Marijuana," 10; Dutch Health, Welfare, and Sports Ministry, report, April 23, 2004; University of Tilburg (Netherlands), "Coffeeshops in the Netherlands 2003," September 2004. For the record, this was my revision: "Teen use of marijuana in the Netherlands where it is sold legally and openly is lower than in the United States because "[a]fter marijuana use became legal, consumption nearly tripled among 18- to 20-year-olds.... [and then] [a]s awareness of the harm of marijuana grew, the number of cannabis coffeehouses in the Netherlands decreased 36 percent in six years." You want to leave out the recorded history of why the consumption is now lower in the Netherlands and the fact of how the consumption nearly tripled among young people before it decreased. The question is why would you want to hide that information from the public? The current statement about the Netherlands that you are publishing, which leaves out the historical facts, is a clear misrepresentation of the facts. What makes you think that you can publish falsehoods as fact? If you persist in publishing misinformation and refuse to publish accurate facts, I will have to report your misconduct to authorities and media outside of this Wikipedia network. It is really as simple as that. ResearchfirmUSA (talk) 01:55, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer Godot13 (submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.
Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.
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!

Hi Muboshgu,
I see that the old discussion got archived, since I forgot to reply. I have gotten 3 DYKs at this point, two of which I created, the other I expanded and got to GA status just after it was put on the main page. However, I just want to know what magic you do to get your NFL and MLB players DYKs? I'm currently working on several articles, but perhaps Jack Fournier could be a good DYK after I expand it? I want some advice, especially in the realm of BLP DYKs. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 22:55, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

The nickname thing isn't a huge deal. I don't really care much that you have removed it. I just saw that it has been used on SB Nation Dodgers fansite True Blue LA, establishing that some fans call him that due to Vin Scully doing so. It is also listed on his Baseball Reference page. I thought that showed enough widespread use to mention on the page. The article on the Dodgers' official website is just what I decided to use. If not, and I am mistaken, no worries.

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:
Other competitors of note include:
After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought.
