Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of baroque pop artists.

However, as the rationale you provided makes clear, the result isn't so obvious (i.e. it falls into "close calls and controversial decisions"), such that I'd like to request you revert and leave it to an admin. In fact the only keep !vote that made the case for notability based the argument on a flawed premise (that allmusic sidebars are acceptable sources such that the article shouldn't have been "purged"). As I see it, this is an obvious merge. As you've closed it as keep rather than no consensus, despite saying a merge discussion can take place elsewhere that close will stymie attempts to merge. Regardless of my own explanations, however, the fact remains that consensus is not sufficiently clear for a NAC in my opinion. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 04:51, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Done. I still think there is clear consensus to keep as it stands, but I don't see a problem with allowing someone else to close or relist it. If my reading was wrong, reopening is for the best, and if my reading was right, it will get closed the same way. So I don't see a downside to reopening. Thanks for bringing this up! Wugapodes (talk) 03:20, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I shouldn't have gone into my own rationale as I'm not trying to persuade you to close a different way -- just that I don't think it's so clear cut. Appreciated. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 12:13, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016 GA Cup - Round 3 Hello, GA Cup competitors! Thursday saw the end of Round 2. Sainsf once again took out Round 2 with an amazing score of 996 (a higher score then he received in Round 1!). In second place, MPJ-DK earned an astounding 541 points, and in third place, Carbrera received 419 points. In Round 2, 142 reviews were completed! At the beginning of April, there were 486 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 384. Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue. At the beginning of this GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [1]; at the end of Round 2, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months.[2] It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 3 so we can keep lowering the backlog as much as possible. To qualify for the third round, contestants had to earn the two highest scores in each of the four pools in Round 2; plus, one wildcard. We had an unusual occurrence happen in Round 2: because only one contestant submitted reviews in one pool, we selected the contestant with the next highest score to move forward to Round 3. (There will be a rule change for future competitions in case something like this happens again.) For Round 3, users were placed in 3 random pools of 3. To qualify for the Final of the 3rd Annual GA Cup, the top user in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 4th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 3 will start on May 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on May 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 3 and the pools can be found here. Good luck and have fun! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

Hi Wugapodes -- thanks again for your awesome hard work on SCOTUS articles! I noticed that you have been using the {{ussc}} template when citing to SCOTUS cases. Unfortunately, the template doesn't format citations correctly if you are citing to the slip opinion rather than the opinion that is published in the United States Reports (it usually takes 3-4 years before an opinion is published in the United States Reports). The proper parameters for a citation to a slip opinion are (1) Case name in italics, (2) docket number, (3) citation to the volume of the U.S. Reports in which the case will be published (with the page number represented as "___"), (4) "slip op. at" page number or page range, (5) year of publication in parentheses. For example, a citation to pages 1-2 of the slip opinion of OBB Personenverkehr AG v. Sachs looks like this: OBB Personenverkehr AG v. Sachs, No. 13–1067, 577 U.S. ___, slip op. at 1–2 (2015). After you provide the first full citation, you can then provide short citations, which look like this: OBB Personenverkehr, slip op. at 1-2. If you want to cite to a dissenting opinion or concurring opinion, you add an explanatory parenthetical that looks like this: Reed, slip op. at 1 (Breyer, J., concurring in judgment).

I thought I should let you know in case you were interested. In any event, I hope you are enjoying a nice weekend! Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 01:16, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up and all your kind words. I added that functionality to {{ussc}} itself since it's probably something I (and others) will run into in the future. Your examples have been really valuable, and I really do appreciate them. Coding a template is made so much easier when there's a clear outline, so your breakdowns of the style are as much a part of all this template editing as my coding. Wugapodes (talk) 02:37, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks so much for making those changes to the template; it really will make life easier for editors in the future. Do let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. All the best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 03:19, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

2016 GA Cup-Finals

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016 GA Cup - Round 3 Hello, GA Cup competitors! Tuesday saw the end of Round 3. Sainsf, for the third time, won with a sizable 487 points and a shocking 29 articles reviewed. In second, MPJ-DK had 168 points and 7 reviewed articles. In second place, MPJ-DK earned 168 points with just 7 articles, and in third place, Carbrera received 137 points with just 9 articles. Our two wildcard slots went to J Milburn with 122 points and Sturmvogel 66 with 101 points. In Round 3, 65 reviews were completed! At the beginning of the GA Cup, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 3, there were 394. Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue. At the beginning of the GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [3]; at the end of Round 3, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months [4]—nothing before 2016. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in the Finals for the GA Cup so that are successes continue. To qualify for the Finals, contestants had to earn the highest scores in each of the three pools in Round 3; plus, as well as the top 2 of all remaining users in all of the pools. For the Finals, users were placed in one pool of the remaining five users. To win the GA Cup, you must have the most points. The Finals started on June 1 at 0:00:01 UTC' and end on June 30 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about the Finals and the pools can be found here . A clarification: in order for the points to count, you must mark your reviews as completed; it's not up to the judges to ensure that all reviews are completed by the end of a round. We wish all the contestants the best of luck! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

2016 GA Cup-Wrap Up

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016 GA Cup - Final/Wrap-Up Hello to our truly awesome GA Cup competitors! Thursday, June 30 saw the end of the 2016 GA Cup. It was a huge success. In the final, our five competitors reviewed an astonishing 207 articles, the most in any GA Cup final thus far. We continue to reach our goals and make a substantial impact in how quickly articles are reviewed for GA status. On March 1, the start of this competition, the article longest in the queue had languished there since June 26, 2015 [5]; in the July 1, 2016 list, the average wait length is just four months [6]. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for their enthusiasm, and for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success. Remember that most articles can't even be considered for FA status unless it's been passed to GA first, so our efforts have created hundreds of potentials FAs. That is, as they say, a big deal. The final this time represented a real horse race between our 1st and 2nd place winners. First-time competitor (who had won all previous rounds) Sainsf earned an impressive 1456 points with 91 articles reviewed during the final. Close behind, in second place was Carbrera, also a first-time competitor, reviewed the most articles (94). Their enthusiasm was a treat to witness. Congrats to you both! The competition went relatively smoothly, with very little drama this time. We had to clarify one rule: in order for the points to count, you must mark your reviews as completed; it's not up to the judges to ensure that all reviews are completed by the end of a round. We were strict about adhering to this clarification, especially at the end of the final. We intend on stressing it in the stated rules for our next competition, which will be announced soon, so watch out for it. We also intend on applying for a grant through Wikimedia to include gift certificates for our winners, to further incentivize the GA Cup. MrWooHoo should receive special recognition for acting as our main judge, and for stepping in for the rest of the judges when real-life busyness took over. He reviewed the majority of the submissions during our final round. Thanks for your hard work, and for the hard work of all our judges. We look forward to the next competition. Again, thanks to all our competitors, and congrats to our winners. Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.
