GOCE March drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive update GOCE March 2012 Backlog Elimination progress graphs Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter. Participation: We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far. Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers. Your drive coordinators – Dianna (talk), Stfg (talk), and Dank (talk) To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

RfC input needed

Hi. You've been selected at random from WP:FRS, where you are listed as an editor willing to help with RfCs related to biographical articles. If you have time, could you provide your input to an RfC here involving issues of libel and defmation in relation to author Jared Diamond. Cheers. --Noleander (talk) 03:23, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Screenshot of naomi chazan, pages 79-80.png

Thanks for uploading File:Screenshot of naomi chazan, pages 79-80.png, which you've sourced to naomi chazan, pages 79-80. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 11:05, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Possibly unfree File:BDS sewer system.png

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:BDS sewer system.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 13:35, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

AMIA Bombing

Other Opinions addition

You have taken down my piece - your reason being that the report does not mention Hunter. It does actually - did you read it ? Can you indicate how I may enter a reference to this report on the page. What rules do I need to follow ?

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johanne Johannes (talk • contribs) 12:41, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

hi johannes - first, be sure to sign your posts with four tildes (four of these: ~). secondly, i read and searched the report at the link you provided. hunter's name is non-existent. i did find a few references to the ATF, but nothing like what you wrote. can you tell me what page it is on? also, we generally need a third-party reliable source, not original research for information. thanks Soosim (talk) 16:19, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Jerusalem moderation

Hi there Soosim! I see you made a post at Talk:Jerusalem/2013 RfC discussion. Are you interested in joining the discussion as a participant? Just let me know if you are. Best — Mr. Stradivarius on tour ^{♪ talk ♪} 07:00, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

i have followed the entire discussion from the beginning. i don't have the time as some of my colleagues apparently do, to spend on this. to me, brevity and honesty is key. so, in this case, Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, though many (some? most?) countries do not recognize it as such. In addition, the Palestinian Authority has stated that Jerusalem will be the capital of the future state of Palestine.

but, you guys go ahead and bleed thousands of words on it, and i will watch. and when i can, i will comment! Soosim (talk) 11:03, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Can you get that idiot vandal RolandR to stop vandalizing the Talk entry on Amiram Goldblum? He should be blocked from editing. He removed essential information — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marv Marvin (talk • contribs) 16:51, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

To enforce an arbitration decision,

you have been blocked from editing for 4 days. You are welcome to make useful contributions once the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks and then appeal your block using the instructions there.

---

Reminder to administrators: In March 2010, ArbCom adopted a procedure prohibiting administrators "from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page." Administrators who reverse an arbitration enforcement block, such as this one, without clear authorisation will be summarily desysopped.

For violation of the WP:ARBPIA 1RR restriction at two different articles. Per a complaint at Arbitration enforcement. EdJohnston (talk) 20:41, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
