JSYK, I added Ismael to the SSHWS examples for Category 1 strength because listed under each category is at least one storm that was significant enough to get its name retired (Diana is listed in the Category 2 section, and there are many examples for the Category 3, 4, and 5 sections). I understand your opinion that Ismael was disproportionately severe compared to what would be expected of a Category 1 hurricane, but I'm not sure I agree with it. Would that same logic not apply to Diana, which never exceeded Category 2 intensity, but was even deadlier than Ismael? Personally, I think we should have at least one retired or otherwise severe hurricane listed under each category. --Dylan620 (I'm all ears) 02:31, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
In my defense, it was my first cyclone article. And since you said you would help, I didn't worry about too much myself because I knew it would be expanded quickly. I did understand what you meant however. United States Man (talk) 22:25, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Tropical Storm Flossie (2013) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s and 1 "<>"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 15:53, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
We're halfway through this year's penultimate round, and the competition is moving along well. Pool A's Sasata (submissions) currently leads overall, while Pool B's
Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) is second. Both leaders are WikiCup veterans, and both have already scored over 600 points this month. If the round were to end today,
Miyagawa (submissions), with 274 points, would be the lowest-scoring participant to make it through. This indicates that participants will need a score comparable to last year's (573, the highest ever) to qualify for the final. The high scores this year are a testament both to the quality of participants and to the increased focus on significant content (eligible for bonus points) in this year's competition. So far this round, both Sasata and
Cwmhiraeth (submissions) have made up over half of their score through bonus points, with, for example, high importance FA koala earning Sasata a total of 440 points (from a multiplier of 4.4) and high-importance GA sea earning Cwmhiraeth a total of 216 points (from a multiplier of 7.2). Other articles on important topics submitted this round include a featured article on the Norman conquest of England by
Ealdgyth (submissions), and good articles on Nobel laureate in literature Henryk Sienkiewicz, Nobel laureate in physics Hans Bethe, and the noted Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryū. These articles are by
Piotrus (submissions),
Hawkeye7 (submissions) and Sturmvogel_66 respectively.
Other than that, there is not much to report!

This year's final is upon us. Our final eight, in order of last round's score, are:
We say goodbye to eight great participants who did not qualify for the final: Piotrus (submissions),
Figureskatingfan (submissions),
ThaddeusB (submissions),
Dana boomer (submissions),
Status (submissions),
Ed! (submissions),
12george1 (submissions),
Calvin999 (submissions). Having made it to this stage is still an excellent achievement, and you can leave with your heads held high. We hope to see you all again next year. Signups are now open for the 2014 WikiCup, which will begin on 1 January. All Wikipedians, whatever their interest or level of experience, are warmly invited to participate in next year's competition.
This last month has seen some incredible contributions; for instance, Cwmhiraeth's Starfish and Ealdgyth's Battle of Hastings—two highly important, highly viewed pages—made it to featured article status. It would be all too easy to focus solely on these stunning achievements at the expense of those participants working in lower-scoring areas, when in fact all WikiCup participants are doing excellent work. A mention of everything done is impossible, but here are a few: Last round saw the completion of several good topics (on the 1958, 1959 and 1962 Atlantic hurricane seasons) to which 12george1 had contributed. Calvin999 saw "S&M" (song), on which he has been working for several years, through to featured article status on its tenth try. Figureskatingfan continued towards her goal of a broad featured/good topic on Maya Angelou, with two featured and four good articles. ThaddeusB contributed significantly to over 20 articles which appeared on the main page's "in the news" section. Adam Cuerden continued to restore a large number of historical images, resulting in over a dozen FP credits this round alone. The WikiCup is not just about top-importance featured articles, and the work of all of these users is worthy of commendation.
Finally, the usual notices: 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 reduce the review backlogs!

Nice job updating Hurricane Manuel. Your work is pretty impressive! I didn't expect to see the article with so much coverage.
By the way, I see that most of the citations in Spanish are from El Universal (Mexico City); I would like to recommend for you to archive them, if possible, by using these two links: (WayBack Machine) and/or (WebCite). Some links from El Universal tend to die unexpectedly overnight ... especially when information on certain events are constantly emerging/changing. If you ever decide to promote the article to GA status in the upcoming months, however, lemme know. I'll gladly make some copyedits myself and/or review the article altogether.

If $200 Million dollars is only the cost of repairing the damage, they why is the number listed as the damage caused by the storm, both on the 2013 Pacific hurricane season and Hurricane Manuel articles? Additionally, $200 million has also been listed as damage for the storm totals, both in the hurricane season infobox, and in the Seasonal Effects infobox. If it really isn't the actual damage caused by the storm, then how do we replace the values given with the actual amount of damage caused? LightandDark2000 (talk) 04:49, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
In 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice.
Sasata (submissions),
Hawkeye7 (submissions)—who has never participated in the competition before—and
Casliber (submissions) follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include Phoenix (constellation) (FA by Casliber), Ernest Lawrence (GA by Hawkeye7), Pinniped, and red fox (both GAs by Sasata).
The did you know (DYK) eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? All Wikipedians, new or old, are also warmly invited to sign up for the 2014 WikiCup.
