Your GA nomination of Star Watch Case Company

The article Star Watch Case Company you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Star Watch Case Company for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of MatthewMcFly -- MatthewMcFly (talk) 00:22, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I had noticed that from MatthewMcFly. I would say to wait until Monday and see what happens. Then it will be your call.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:43, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

If you want to renominate this as a GAN, I would say it is alright as MatthewFly is not responding.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:31, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Star Watch Case Company/GA2

• If the reviewer doesn't respond to your query (which is what I suspect will happen) I would say you can renominate at your leisure. I'll be glad to handle most of the issues when the review happens. We will both get a green icon for our User Page when it gets promoted.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:51, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
• Since the reviewer didn't respond to your query I would say you can renominate GAN anytime. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:44, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
• Doug, he did respond on 9/23/21 and said he was wrong (and inexperienced) in his initial rejection. He said he would re-review and get back to me. Haven't heard since then. Cleveland Todd (talk) 14:42, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

• O.K. We will wait and see what happens.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:13, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event.

Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

I think you made a typo when creating your talk archive, so I have moved it to the correct namespace. It is now at User talk:Cleveland Todd/Archive 2. DanCherek (talk) 19:39, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Cleveland Todd/Archive 2

Hello, Cleveland Todd,

What is this page supposed to be? Right now it's tagged for deletion but I wanted to check with you first so you know not to put content like this in the main space of the project. If for some reason you want this in your own User space, move it now before it gets deleted. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:28, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

@Liz: Page created in error; sorry. Working with another editor to clear this up. Please just delete.Cleveland Todd (talk) 16:24, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

December 2021 GOCE Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors December 2021 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the December GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since September 2021.                  Current and upcoming events Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC). Voting opens at 00:01 the following day and will continue until 31 December at 23:59, just before "Auld Lang Syne". Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now! Drive and Blitz reports September Drive: Almost 400,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 27 people who signed up, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. October Blitz: From 17 to 23 October, we copy edited articles tagged in May and June 2021 and requests. 8 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. November Drive: Over 350,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 21 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. Other news It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community. Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Crazy (Willie Nelson song) c/e request

Hi Cleveland Todd, are you still working on this copy-edit request? Please let us know at the GOCE Requests page so we can either archive the request or release it for other editors to work on. Thanks for your copy-edits. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 01:39, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

@Baffle gab1978: - I had a question for the editor who requested the edit, which he answered yesterday. I'll mark the request finished this morning. Cleveland Todd (talk) 13:24, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

No problem; thanks for your understanding, we like to keep the Requests page updated. Sometimes editors forget to mark requests done, and others have abandoned Wikipedia without starting the c/e. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 19:08, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Cleveland Todd (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I have no reason to request an "unblock" because I have no idea why I have been blocked. I have no other accounts or user names; I edit as much as I can on many different topics; I am active in the GOCE: and would really like to know why I have been blocked. Then I can object or provide reasons why I should not be blocked. Cleveland Todd (talk) 18:17, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I have no reason to request an "unblock" because I have no idea why I have been blocked. I have no other accounts or user names; I edit as much as I can on many different topics; I am active in the GOCE: and would really like to know why I have been blocked. Then I can object or provide reasons why I should not be blocked. [[User:Cleveland Todd|Cleveland Todd]] ([[User talk:Cleveland Todd#top|talk]]) 18:17, 26 July 2022 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I have no reason to request an "unblock" because I have no idea why I have been blocked. I have no other accounts or user names; I edit as much as I can on many different topics; I am active in the GOCE: and would really like to know why I have been blocked.

[[User:Cleveland Todd|Cleveland Todd]] ([[User talk:Cleveland Todd#top|talk]]) 18:17, 26 July 2022 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=I have no reason to request an "unblock" because I have no idea why I have been blocked. I have no other accounts or user names; I edit as much as I can on many different topics; I am active in the GOCE: and would really like to know why I have been blocked.
