Hello ! I'm in need of reviewers for my FAC for Formula, Vol. 1. I usually don't feel comfortable going to other user talk pages to request reviewers, but FAC already failed once because no one commented and it was deleted and re-created. Erick (talk) 23:57, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Woah Erick, I am just seeing this! How could I miss it, though. I will try to do a review soon if it's still open. Sorry! — ΛΧΣ^{21 Call me Hahc21} 03:08, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I notice it's been over a year since your RFA closed unsuccessfully. I think you've improved in every respect as a contributor, and you'd be a responsible, trustworthy administrator. Do you want to submit yourself for consideration again? If so, would you like me to nominate you? AGK [•] 20:53, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't recommend it Hahc, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone actually. Its your feelings and your decision but you have to ask yourself if you really really need it and is it going to make your Wiki experience better or worse. Everyone knows the RFA process is an utter joke and doesn't have anything to do with who is the most qualified candidate. 108.45.104.158 (talk) 22:20, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@AGK: Thanks. After careful consideration of this, I think I will submit myself to it for a last time. It's been almost a year since I ever ran for anything, and I think that the landscape has changed sufficiently to say that the results may vary with regards to my previous requests. TLDR: Yes, I'll give it a shot, with you as nom.

@108.45.104.158: I know that RfA is a harsh environment, Kumioko, but at this point, I won't feel bad or discouraged if I don't become an administrator. As I told you the other day, the most important thing on Wikipedia is our content, and that is something I can do either way :) — ΛΧΣ^{21 Call me Hahc21} 23:00, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are an amazing editor, if you are nominated you got my support! But decide what is best for you, it is a harsh process, but make sure you read a lot of those miniguides, advice pages and etc. Look over your contributions and interaction towards the community. ///EuroCarGT 23:04, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well good luck then. I hope it works out cause the project needs more people with access to the tools. Sorry I can't stop by and support, IP's can't vote. 108.45.104.158 (talk) 23:06, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@EuroCarGT: Thanks! This would not be the first time I run, though, so it won't be the first time I do no succeed if I don't :P

@108: The fact that you would have supported means more than an actual vote, so thank you :) — ΛΧΣ^{21 Call me Hahc21} 23:08, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have already put Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Hahc21 3 on my watchlist. My !vote will be Support. Binksternet (talk) 00:40, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I guess this means I had better finish test #3 for my CVUA class before you get busy with other more important business. You have my support, as well! ```Buster Seven Talk 04:27, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can set up the nomination for you, unless you want AGK to actually do it. I'd also be willing to support, reading you're 2nd nomination and the areas you're willing to work at. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 05:30, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! But I think that AGK is already on it :) — ΛΧΣ^{21 Call me Hahc21} 15:17, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Hahc21: Super! I'll draft a nomination in a week or two, hopefully by the beginning of next month, and we'll get this going :-). AGK [•] 18:34, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'll try to find time to refute any bogus Opposes, so you won't be accused of "badgering Opposes" when simply replying to accusations. It would be easier if you accepted the nom on a Sunday evening, so more people would have time to !vote during the week (many of us party all weekend!). -Wikid77 (talk) 01:22, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend a soft pedal approach to refuting Oppose votes. Any vehement refutation, no matter who it is from, is going to count against Hahc21. Speaking from experience here... Binksternet (talk) 01:56, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel you are ready then I can only suggest you use will remember to use the tools carefully. Patience and the ability to keep your cool are the two things I look for in a good editor. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 08:03, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hahc21, I encourage you to consider another RfA. Before filing, it could be worthwhile to get in touch with a few of the people who opposed Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Hahc21 2 to see if they still have concerns. EdJohnston (talk) 03:05, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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:

1. Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer whose high-quality scans of rare banknotes represent an unusual, interesting and valuable contribution to Wikipedia. Most of Godot's points this round have come from a large set of pictures used in Treasury Note (1890–91).
2. 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.
3. 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 Loving through good article candidates and featured article candidates, claiming the first first featured article of the competition.
• Prism (submissions), who claimed the first featured list of the competition with 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 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!
