Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
I enjoyed your entry on Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
I have a question if I may - on 05:27, 4 September 2010 you added "KJ" to his honors and titles for The Order of Saint Joachim. Do you recall the source of this reference?
Many thanks,

A favor...Hey, I have a favor to ask. I don't know if you watch the show Adventure Time, but I've been working on getting the episode list up to FL. Is there anyway you could pop on over to the page and vote/comment etc? I'm having a hard time getting anyone to comment on it, and I based it off of similar lists, like the one for The X-Files.

WikiProject Good Articles December 2013 Backlog Drive
Hi everyone, I've noticed that a few of you haven't updated your totals as several reviews have passed but on the backlog page, it still says that the article is under review or on hold.
Please update your totals and continue to do so until February 1. If the status of a review is under review or on hold according to the backlog page, even though the article may have passed/failed, it will not count towards your final total.
For those that made pledges during the drive, the final donation amount will be determined sometime in February.
Thank-you.Sent by Dom497 using MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:17, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 January newsletter
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:
- TropicalAnalystwx13 (submissions) were the first people to score, for the good article Tropical Storm Bret (1981)and its good article review respectively. 12george1 was also the first person to score in 2012 and 2013.
- 2014 North American polar vortex.
- WonderBoy1998 (submissions) scored points for an early good topic, finishing off Wikipedia:Featured topics/She Wolf.
- TheAustinMan (submissions) scored the first bonus points of the competition, for his work on Typhoon Vera.
- Igordebraga (submissions) has scored the highest number of bonus points for a single article, for the high-importance Jurassic Park (film).
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

Pride & Prejudice
I'm translating your article Pride & Prejudice (2005 film) to Chinese Wikipedia at here, but I found a little problem at the refs:
1. this link already dead: Ruhlmann, William. "Pride & Prejudice [Original Score] Album Reviews". Billboard. Retrieved 2002-05-11.{{cite web}}
: CS1 maint: ref duplicates default (link)
2. this line has been redirect, the author went to William Ruhlmann, not Jon O'Brien anymore: Ruhlmann, William. "Pride & Prejudice [Original Score]". AllMusic. Archived from the original on 2013-06-24. Retrieved 2014-02-07. {{cite web}}
: Unknown parameter |deadurl=
ignored (|url-status=
suggested) (help)CS1 maint: ref duplicates default (link)
I'm consider change the link NO. 2 to replace NO. 1, but I can not found the article written by Jon O'Brien, could you help me out here? Thank you so much.--Jarodalien (talk) 09:42, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Hi there! I saw your work on translating Sense and Sensibility and was impressed by your effort! I've looked into the two links -- the Billboard is dead and the Wayback Machine unfortunately doesn't have it. I see that Ruhlmann's review is now at AllMusic -- I'm not sure what happened to O'Brien's review. Weird. Like you said, you may just have to replace the Ruhlmann review with this and remove the O'Brien content entirely from your translation. Or you could keep the content intact and just cite it with the current deadlinks. Thanks. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I hope that you keep up the good work! Ruby 2010/2013 19:30, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your time, I already replace the link. And here's some good news: sense and sensibility at Chinese Wikipedia is already listed as a Good article, and I'm nominating to Featured article right now, and pride & prejudice is nominating for Good article now.--Jarodalien (talk) 12:14, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Elizabeth Home
Greetings! I'm looking over your DYK submission. I have JSTOR access, so I'm able to read both Lewis and Pocock & Cook. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see anything in either source for James Lawes being "the richest," although we certainly have support for "most eligible."— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 23:55, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for reading. I combed through my sources and while I cannot find any that specifically say James Lawes was one of the richest men, he most certainly was due to his father. But because this is not directly mentioned in the sources, I have removed that part of the sentence. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 00:35, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive
It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:
- This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
- Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
- The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
- An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.
Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.
More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the
I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

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:
- 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 Lovingthrough good article candidates and featured article candidates, claiming the first first featured article of the competition.
- 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

I'm currently working on the OUAT S1 good topic, and am also working on an expansion of the Girl with a Pearl Earring film article (I'd provide a link but I'm using my phone).

You might have noticed that I've decided to continue with your old Lost project (after some user with with similar intentions contacted me - you might want talk to him as well), and nominated The Cost of Living (Lost) to the GA - can take a look at it while I wait the review? Thanks. igordebraga ≠ 04:51, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I had noticed! I think it's great that others are showing such interest. That project really fell down on my priority list as I thought of other things, but who knows? Perhaps I'll work on an episode or two later this year. Ruby 2010/2013 01:36, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
