WikiCup 2011 March newsletter
We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is 
Hurricanehink (submissions) with 231 points, who leads Pool H. 
Piotrus (submissions) (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered "vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring.

Hi Tinucherian, thanks for your additions to this week's "News and notes" and "In the news", all quite interesting and informative. Only in the item about the India office the newsworthiness wasn't quite obvious to me (considering that we have reported about the office plans several times already). If it was meant to say that a new stage in the process of selecting the office has begun, that should be made a bit clearer in the text, describing the process (is the WMF actively seeking community input here?). And if a new discussion has just started, waiting a few days has the advantage that one will be able to summarize its main arguments for the reader. Regards, HaeB (talk) 17:07, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yea, HaeB. I think we can skip this now. May be we should wait it to more "materialize" :). Btw this was the call for inputs from Hisham Mundol,India Programs - Wikimedia Foundation -- Tinu Cherian - 17:38, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- Ah OK, that link makes it a bit clearer why you included this. But yes, let's wait until the next issue or so, in order to have more substantial coverage. Regards, HaeB (talk) 18:00, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. Feel free to copy edit my additions to the newsletter -- Tinu Cherian - 07:51, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Translation request
Hello. I wonder if it might be possible for you to translate the following for me into English: മലയാളം: കൂടിയാട്ടത്തിലെസുഗ്രീവൻ. It is the description of this image in the commons. I understand that it's from a Koodiyattam performance, but I'd like to be able to credit and wikilink (if possible) the performer and/or the character depicted. Many thanks, • DP • {huh?} 10:33, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
