Presidents' Trophy

Howard, there is a discussion going on at the WP:IceHockey article about the Presidents' Trophy. I would like to hear you chime in. MrArticleOne (talk) 21:50, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

:Is there any particular reason why you are canvassing? -Djsasso (talk) 22:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

::Because Howard contributed to the NHL Template discussion, as did I and you. I don't know what Howard's position is on this, but he's an informed user who is interested in such picayune details. MrArticleOne (talk) 22:37, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

:::I'd say put it in a separate article OR put it in a subsection of the Presidents' Trophy article. The NBA WP had a separate List of NBA champions, Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy and Walter A. Brown Trophy articles. –Howard the Duck 12:26, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

;From the Judges

This years WikiCup started off great! It's only the second full week of competition, and we already have a lot of content promoted. We have some very close pools, such as Pool A and J. We also have some pools who have not been very active yet, but hopefully that will start changing in the coming weeks.

Garden and iMatthew have also opened a new pool, the "Judge's Pool" where we are competing against each other and following the same rules as all of you. This pool however, will never have any effect on the actual competition, but you can still check back often to see how we are doing compared to yourself.

That's it for this newsletter edition, everyone. Any questions or comments are always welcome on the WikiCup talk page, or our user talk pages. Until next time, Garden. and iMatthew // talk // 13:55, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

;From the Judges

Wow, you guys are racking up the DYK's fast! Good articles are also coming in quite quickly, and we also have a few new Featured articles. This is coming along great so far; we're glad to see almost everyone working on something.

Also, Thehelpfulone is our newest judge. He will, starting Monday, be helping maintain the WikiCup and help us ensure all runs smoothly. It's hard to gain consensus between two editors, so I guess "majority rules" (with three people) will start to apply while we make our decision. :-P

Keep it up! Garden., iMatthew // talk, and The Helpful One 13:55, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:UAAP70.jpg)

25px Thanks for uploading :File:UAAP70.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:28, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
