Whatever happened to Legobot Task 24? Dustin (talk) 01:11, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
Were there any issues with the bot's updating? Dustin (talk) 17:17, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
- Maybe this wasn't the right place to mention this, and not to seem impatient, but I see that you are just going about business without replying. I don't know where else to ask about this though, so I currently have to rely on you for an answer... Dustin (talk) 01:43, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive
Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!
TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.
If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.
At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.
As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

Could you please confirm this before you get deluged with a whole host of requests for its improvement or additional features? Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:52, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
Your help is needed
Can you please read this discussion about adding one minor GA task with Legobot? Thanks!--Dom497 (talk) 23:01, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, I read it. That's not really a minor task from a code perspective. Is it possible? Of course. Is it possible for me to do it? Probably not given a lack of free time, and the fact that no bot op would bother working on that controversial of a task without any consensus. Legoktm (talk) 05:12, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Authority control
Hi,
I'm working with a number of editors on non-English Wikipedias, to have {{Authority control}} and its sub-templates and module(s) imported into their projects. A couple are getting errors which they can't resolve (they both speak English, thankfully!). Would you kindly assist the . If I point them here?

Legoktm/rescaled.js
Hi, I love the script - but I have found one bug. If the date is missing then it does not remove the template (it still revision deletes the images OK) - I just did a large batch and any page that had just {{Non-free reduced}}, still had the template after revdel - a second click of the rescaled tab has no effect. I can only assume the RegEx fails (I'm very rusty on RegEx) Ronhjones (Talk) 21:16, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup
Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!
As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:
For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.
For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).
The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.
--Dom497, Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor
