 Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have now passed the halfway point, so here's an update. Progress Report - Progress toward the targets has been good. 751 articles out of the approximately 1,600 we would like to get completed by the end of the month were done by July 15, so we will be very close to meeting the target for volume. However, we would like to clear all of the 2008 articles from the backlog, and there are still 892 left to do. Please consider choosing one of these older articles when looking for something to copy edit. If we focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Participation Report - 95 people signed up for the July drive. This is a great result compared to May, when we had 36. However, in May only one person that signed up didn't do any copy edits, and in July only 59 of the 95 have posted any copy edits on the big board. The task may seem insurmountable but please remember that if all 95 participants copy edit just one article a day from now until the end of the month, we will eliminate 1,300 more articles from the backlog. So please consider participating at whatever level you can! All contributions are appreciated. This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa (Talk), S Masters (talk), and The Raptor Let's talk. |

- are you alright? you seem to have snapped or something. all of a sudden your trying to get your article deleted and your account banned for five years; whats up? btw, kudos on the rather elaborate fake (as you claim) article, this name provides no relevant hits on google except the wikipeida article you made. cheers WookieInHeat (talk) 20:18, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Restore Deleted Page to Userspace?
Hi, could you restore whatever was at Opie Winston to some subpage in my userspace? I see that the Sons of Anarchy template has links to separate pages for the characters, except this one, which was deleted. If you could restore it to my userspace, I'd like to see what I can do about fixing it up and throwing it back out there, to complete the template. (Sorry, I just randomly picked a name I recognized from Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles) Thanks! jheiv talk contribs 06:28, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Done @ User:jheiv/Opie. You may be interested in the AfD, if you haven't already seen it. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 17:13, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Controversy Section on Jeffrey Hyland's page
Hello there Amory. I'm not really sure how I'm going to start getting this section resolved. There's a part in this article section that I thought does not seem to have a NPOV. The first sentence that says "In April of 2006 Hyland sold a 16-acre estate in Malibu to Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, a highly controversial political leader and the quasi-prince of Equatorial Guinea. There's a reference article but reading through it, I've found some points in contrary to what the section editor tried to put out. There's a part in the article that said ""the malibu city or organization didn't know who was the buyer either", so if the city didn't know about it, then that only means Jeff knew less, or no clue at all. How do I go about this? I'd truly appreciate your inputs. Thanks very much. Jxc5 (talk) 15:25, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
