You're doing well already. I can only recommend NPP. Make sure you read WP:NPP first though! :) --Cameron* 16:15, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Wow, I see you've been fixing typos and reverting vandalism. It's great to see you're also warning the vandals. Some people are so quick to revert they let the vandals get off scot free! Also, spoken wiki, I'm impressed! --Cameron* 09:46, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! :) Im trying to do some small things like cleaning up vandalism and stuff when I have a little free time. Spoken wiki is taking some more time to finish as it does require complete focus on it. Wiki Roxor (talk) 14:45, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Roxor! I used to know how to do it but the system changed. Might I direct you to User:Xenocidic who is the our expert on all things status templates. Regards, --Cameron* 15:24, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Copy-edit request

Hi, I don't know if you're busy or anything, but I was planning on taking List of Dexter episodes to FLC. Since you did such great copy-editing work on James Wilson and Jon Cryer, I was thinking that maybe you could take a final lookover before I nominate it. Thanks.--Music26/11 14:31, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Wow, it has really been a while... another copy-editor has worked on the page. But I appreciate your response. Thanks.--Music26/11 14:47, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I just remembered. If you are not to busy, could you take a look at the "North by North Quahog" article? I would like to take it to FAc in a few days.--Music26/11 15:11, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Great! Thank you very much. Also, greetings from Sweden :D.--Music26/11 10:04, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi again, I'm working to get "The Ex-Girlfriend" to FAC, are you interested in providing some copy-editing help?--Music26/11 16:27, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes I still need it; it would be great. By the way, "North by North Quahog" has been promoted to FA status.--Music26/11 14:50, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I didn't notice you had already copy-edited part of the article until now. Because it took you a while, I had contacted another editor, who has just wrapped up his ce. I don't mean to insult or replace you or anything of the kind, but I somehow missed your help, which I still greatly appreciate. The article is currently at FAC, in case you were interested. And thanks again.--Music26/11 21:52, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Adoption Offer

I would be very grateful for any help that you can give me! I'm still learning to navigate the WP processes and policies, and am trying to do some anti-vandalism (as I have an opportunity to). Any help you can provide, especially with increasing article standards and making the wikified would be helpful. I'm active in spurts (usually about once a week) and try to at least monitor my contributions, userpage and talkpage. Thanks a lot! Frmatt (talk) 19:39, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey! I saw you as a member on the Guild of Copy-Editors and am wondering if you could help me out with an article I am working on, the Nobel Prize.

Grab some glory, and a barnstar

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ ^Talk! 15:41, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody! Stats If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you edited in the May 2010 GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive, your word totals are cumulative for barnstars (not the leaderboard). Over the course of the next week or two, we will be handing out the barnstars. GOCE backlog elimination drive chart up to 31 July Eight people will receive The Most Excellent Order of the Caretaker's Barnstar (100,000+ words): Chaosdruid, Diannaa, Ericleb01, Lfstevens, Shimeru, S Masters, The Utahraptor, and Torchiest. Bullock and Slon02 will receive The Order of the Superior Scribe (80,000+). The Barnstar of Diligence (60,000+) goes to Derild4921, GaryColemanFan, kojozone, and Mlpearc. The Modern Guild of Copy Editors Barnstar (40,000+) goes to A. Parrot, AirplanePro, Auntieruth55, Bejinhan, David Rush, and mono. Nobody will receive The Old School League of Copy Editors award (30,000+). The Tireless Contributor Barnstar (20,000+) goes to Backtable, Cindamuse, dtgriffith, Duff, e. ripley, Laurinavicius, NerdyScienceDude, and TEK. The Cleanup Barnstar (12,000+) goes to Brickie, Casliber, cymru lass, December21st2012Freak, Nolelover, TheTito, Whoosit, and YellowMonkey.

November 2010 backlog elimination drive update

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! GOCE November 2010 backlog elimination drive progress graphs We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line! Your drive coordinators –The UtahraptorTalk to me/Contributions, S Masters (talk), and Diannaa (Talk)

The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles (and specifically will be targeting the oldest three months), as we want to copy edit as many of these as possible. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. >>> Sign up now <<<

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
