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)

You have deleted my page, I was still working on it. I have not saved it is there a way I can copy my edit onto my PC first? or else I have to start from scratch and just wasted 8 hours. Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dangerousrave (talkcontribs) 14:29, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, I have moved it into userspace for you as it's not yet ready to be a Wikipedia article. You can find it at User:Dangerousrave/BB Publications--5 albert square (talk) 14:37, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dangerousrave (talkcontribs) 14:41, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes user request within userspace. Please see wp:blank--5 albert square (talk) 17:06, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My goodness!!! I always thought that the user talk was the only thing that could not be deleted. I'm astonished!! Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:12, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. Generally actual deletion is not allowed for user talk pages, except in very limited circumstances such as vanishing; it would be better to restore the history and blank it. Userpages are different, but the history of talk pages should be kept. PeterSymonds (talk) 17:15, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
