== Commissioner's Trophy (MLB) ==

After removing that talk page banner, this is now the only portion of the soon-to-be-featured topic on Awards in Major League Baseball that isn't under this project's bailiwick. Additionally, I read the talk page discussion you pointed to, but I didn't really understand the consensus, nor do I agree with it. Could you clarify for me? ] <small>(] • ])</small> 00:16, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
:The Commissioner's Trophy doesn't fall within the scope of WP:WPAW because it is an award handed out as a result of a competition, not as a result of a selection based on performance like the Nobel Prize. This is why the Stanley Cup, a FA, doesn't falls within the scope of the project also. Besides, just because this article doesn't fall within this project, doesn't mean the entire topic doesn't fall within this project. Of course, if you disagree, you can always start a new discussion, but this is where the current consensus stands.—<font face="Cambria" size="3">]<sub>]/]</sub></font> 01:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi. First thing, ] needs a review, so if you have the time, could you take a look? Second thing, the BBHOF list is not getting any reviewer love, and is just languishing at the bottom of the FLC list.

== 2010 WikiCup Signups Reconfirmation! ==

To ensure that everyone who signed up is still committed to participating in the 2010 WikiCup, it is required that you remove your name from ''']'''! By removing your name, you are '''not''' removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.

It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:
*Mainspace and/or portal edits will not be awarded points at all.
*Did you know? articles (which were worth 5 points last year) will now be worth 10 points.
*Good articles (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
*Valued pictures will be now awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.
*Featured lists (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
*Featured portals (which were worth 25 points last year) will now be worth 35 points.
*Featured articles (which were worth 50 points last year) will now be worth 100 points.
*Featured topics (which were worth 10 points per article last year) will now be worth 15 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
*Good topics (which were worth 5 points per article last year) will now be worth 10 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
*In the news will still be awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.

If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup!

== re: Differential ==

Fair enough. Actually, though, I really meant to say that you couldn't subtract averages at one significant figure. If you subtracted the exact averages, you'd be okay. I did assume that you were subtracting averages with one significant figure since the reference you provided at http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CHI/1996/splits/ only gives averages with one significant figure and no totals. But I guess you were really pulling the data from somewhere else. Thanks for fixing up the table format. &mdash; ] (]) 03:14, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

The issue I have with extending it to 16 games is that even the link you pointed out is no longer a comprehensive list since it is missing some 16 game streaks (both recent and past). In addition, that link does not include streaks that carried across two seasons; it only includes single-season streaks. This list is already likely to be missing several streaks that carried across two seasons, and if we were to extend the list to include 16 games, it would increase the number of missing streaks.--] (]) 01:15, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

:Fair enough, perhaps the NBA will update its official list at some point in the near future. That would obviously be helpful. Of course, there is also the added factor that the 16-game streaks are the least "notable". As teams continue to streak for more than 16 games, the 16 game streaks seem to "dilute" the list's notability more.--] (]) 01:32, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Misplaced Pages has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at ]. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list ]. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located ]. Details on how to submit your content is located ], so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table.

Congratulations to {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant|Sasata}}, our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant|Hunter Kahn}} and {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant|TonyTheTiger}} (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant|Fetchcomms}}- his artcle ] was the first content to score points in the competition.

Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on ]. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

Hi Chris,

Countries in sports leagues (just like cultures in a democratic society) should be listed in their alphabetical order rather than strength (i.e. no. of teams) in order to be treated fairly. Thanks.

Hi Chris,

What I said is a common sense,not a rule or anything, just felt unfair for Cananda, that's all. Besides, who made the rule for countries or whatever listed first to be 'more' important than others? Why can't you ppl reverse that thinking and treat things listed last on a list as the most important? If your theory is right, why do NBA home teams always list visiting teams first? Aren't their own teams more important than their visiting teams? Think about it man.

Fyi, we have to keep some of the parameter names that lack underscores; otherwise, there will be information missing when we replace the code of the NBA Player and NBAretired infoboxes because the current tranclusions use those (soon-obsolete) parameter names.

== ] - coloring ==

However, for coloring, would conventions require that the entire line be highlighted, as opposed to just one spot on a line? In addition, active players and Hall of Famers had the same color when you did it. Just make sure that active players are one color, and Hall of Famers are another (Shaquille O'Neal was in the color for Hall of Famer). --] (]) 02:55, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

We are half way through round 3, with a little under a month to go. The current overall leader is {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant|Sasata}}, who has 570 points. He leads pool C. Pools A, B and D are led by {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant|Hunter Kahn}}, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant|Sturmvogel_66}} and {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant|White Shadows}} respectively. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at ], and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the ].

Two of last year's final 8, {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant|Theleftorium}} and {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant|Scorpion0422}}, have dropped out of the competition, saying they would rather their place went to someone who will have more time on their hands than them next round. On a related note, a special thank you goes to {{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant|White Shadows}} for his help behind the scenes once again. There is currently a problem with the poster, perhaps caused by the new skin- take a look at ] and see if you can help. The competition has continued to tick over well with minimal need for judge intervention, so thank you to everyone making that possible.
