GOCE March drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive update

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)

GOCE May copy edit drive

Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors

The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their May 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on May 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on May 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goal for the drive will be to eliminate January, February, and March 2011 from the queue. 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: Dank, Diannaa, and Stfg.

140.254.227.179

FYI. Long-term pattern abuser. See this entry, just by way of example. Any help in dealing with him would be appreciated - JohnInDC (talk) 21:21, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, seems he has a problem with Jews based on his edits, I just reverted and warned him best not respond to his taunts--Lerdthenerd wiki defender 21:22, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, the taunts are just silly. It's his edits. Several pages wound up semi-protected back in March as a result of his busy-ness; probably that's what will have to happen again. He appears to edit from public terminals at Ohio State, and there is surely a limitless supply of them! JohnInDC (talk) 21:25, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

they all appear to be 140.254, we should keep an eye out for those IPs and maybe a rangeblock is needed--Lerdthenerd wiki defender 21:27, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I actually made a list of his IPs last time around - I may go fish it up. JohnInDC (talk) 21:29, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, John. The taunts are meant to be silly. Heck, most of my edits are meant to be silly. I don't believe all that anti-Semitic crap---my only abnormal belief about Jews is that they may have an easier time getting jobs in media and entertainment than the rest of us, due to connections, not any grand conspiracy. I certainly don't hate them. I'm more trolling than anything else---and as for the Rugrats-related stuff, go watch a "Drew Pickles goes to..." video on YouTube and you'll understand where I'm coming from. I'm trying to be entertaining and a little bit frustrating, but mostly entertaining. As such, I'm laying off the Jewish stuff. I'm sure you'll continue to revert my vandalism and block me, but at least try to see the humor in the edits' content. Don't let yourselves get stressed out over it---have a laugh at my expense! 140.254.227.55 (talk) 14:14, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

also you were socking 140.254, regardless if you were joking your behaviour cannot be condoned--Lerdthenerd wiki defender 14:28, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, well, you also said on my Talk page that you were done with your vandalism so I am not sure I can credit even your "all in good fun" defense at this point - JohnInDC (talk) 14:34, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

hey, John he just vandalised Rugrats again and i reverted him--Lerdthenerd wiki defender 14:35, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I visited AIV. JohnInDC (talk) 15:21, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks John--Lerdthenerd wiki defender 15:22, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I'm sockpuppeting. Isn't that what public terminals are for? Besides, Lerd, I'm not arguing with your assertion that my "behaviour cannot be condoned" (per Wikipedia standards), although I'd appreciate if you'd make it sound less like a crime and more like...well, not a crime, just going against Wikipedia standards. I know it's not constructive, but it's at least a little bit humorous, and it helps me blow off a bit of steam. I'm trying to cut back because I'm aware it doesn't help me much---there are more constructive and less annoying ways of blowing off steam---and also because I want to put more focus on making useful edits on my legit account (that's right, I'm an editor). I'm really not a destructive person by nature, and I don't want this behavior to serve as a gateway to more overtly antisocial behavior. Old habits die hard, though. I would ask that you not do a blanket IP block, if only because hundreds or possibly thousands of other students use these same computers.140.254.227.197 (talk) 15:59, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care if you want to have a laugh, this is not the place, go to Uncyclopedia and goof off there!--Lerdthenerd wiki defender 16:01, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Meh. Uncyclopedia isn't my thing. Cracked, maybe; I'd love to write for them. 140.254.227.197 (talk) 16:04, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

just stop mucking about on here ok, its annoying for me to revert you as it is for you when you get blocked--Lerdthenerd wiki defender 16:06, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Trial graphics

Hello Lerdthenerd. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Trial graphics, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to products. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 18:30, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ok--Lerdthenerd wiki defender 19:24, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just for you...

		A very special barnstar, worth twelve ordinary barnstars
		Because you deserve one far more than many people who get loads of them them. Yes, you really do. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:56, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

thanks! that means a lot to me--Lerdthenerd wiki defender 20:06, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I second the above. You deserve it. Keep up the fantastic work you're doing :) MrLittleIrish ^(talk) 申 10:00, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
