Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited List of aircraft engines, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Skoda (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

GOCE March copy edit drive
Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors
 The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their March 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goal for the drive will be to eliminate the remaining 2010 articles 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, Stfg, and Coordinator emeritus SMasters. 19:48, 20 February 2012 (UTC) To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list. </left> |

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Consolidated Liberator I, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

See recent changes in the article, using original reference sources. Use talk if you intend to make changes. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 17:52, 5 March 2012 (UTC). I am familiar with citation templates, but there is no use in using them when all that is done is to introduce errors. See the edits. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 18:42, 5 March 2012 (UTC).

Just curious why you state this article fails B5? A photograph, while preferable, is not required to pass it. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:07, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Just personal opinion. I feel that just an infobox is insufficient and any article I assess is judged similarly. If you think that it is justified go ahead and re-assess.Petebutt (talk) 04:41, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Well, since I created the article, it would be COI for me to reassess. ;) Just wondered why you reassessed it after it had already been assessed. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:52, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Fascinating article by the way. It got picked up by the new article bot at Aviation, It's a pity there isn't an image, I searchewd the internet and couldn't find one either. Strange that they were actually given the status of ships even though they were only towed, maybe part of the deception!Petebutt (talk) 04:59, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Very odd indeed. Pretty sure that was the reason - hush-hush, old chap! - The Bushranger One ping only 05:32, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate you were trying to help with the SENAN article, but in future please do not add direct machine translations to articles, they are generally too poor if you're not going to do any cleanup afterwards--Jac16888 Talk 13:37, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

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.

Thank you for your words of support. They mean all the more as they come from someone who seems to have a creditable track record, as distinct from some of the pompous, overbearing and patronising "administrators".
I don't blame the Bot for flagging the article. That was a fair cop as I had saved it prematurely. What gets my goat was the "Welcome to Wikipedia. We're trashing your article which may have taken two hours of your valuable time. Maybe you'd like to completely rewrite it. Happy editing. Have a nice day" attitude. This is to someone who would have been paid up to 100,000 pounds in a commercial environment for the time they have freely given to the site . "Welcome to Wikipedia" to someone who has done 30,000 edits - you couldn't make it up.

GOCE March drive wrap-up
| Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May. Your drive coordinators – Dianna (Talk), Stfg (Talk), and Dank (talk)To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Changes to the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross series
Thanks for your contributions to the various Knights' Cross of the Iron Cross articles. I reverted some of your changes, particular those adding the "See also" section. I believe the "See also" to be unnessary since the upper right hand navigation template addresses the same needs. Also various reviews of had indicated that a "See also" gives the impression of an incomplete article. And lastly the articles are already rather lengthy. Please also note that the full name of the order is "Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross". The Knight's Cross refers to multiple orders. I hope you agree and understand MisterBee1966 (talk) 05:39, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
- I couldn't get my head around the fact that they were ALL Knights' Cross of the Iron Cross. The navbox was a definite Doh! on my part. What I am trying to do is elevate them all to at least A-class status, it seems silly that some are and others not for what is essentially a single article split into parts.Petebutt (talk) 07:56, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
