Guild of Copy Editors February 2017 News

Guild of Copy Editors February 2017 News

Hello everyone, and welcome to the February 2017 GOCE newsletter. The Guild has been busy since the last time your coordinators sent out a newsletter!

December blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 December; the themes were Requests and eliminating the November 2015 backlog. Of the 14 editors who signed up, nine editors completed 29 articles. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all who took part.

January drive: The January drive was a great success. We set out to remove December 2015 and January and February 2016 from our backlog (195 articles), and by 22 January we had cleared those and had to add a third month (March 2016). At the end of the month we had almost cleared out that last month as well, for a total of 180 old articles removed from the backlog! We reduced our overall backlog by 337 articles, to a low of 1,465 articles, our second-lowest month-end total ever. We also handled all of the remaining requests from December 2016. Officially, 19 editors recorded 337 copy edits (over 679,000 words).

February blitz: The one-week February blitz, focusing on the remaining March 2016 backlog and January 2017 requests, ran from 12 to 18 February. Seven editors reduced the total in those two backlog segments from 32 to 10 articles, leaving us in good shape going in to the March drive.

Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: In December, coordinators for the first half of 2017 were elected. Jonesey95 stepped aside as lead coordinator, remaining as coordinator and allowing Miniapolis to be the lead, and Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators. Thanks to all who participated!

Speaking of coordinators, congratulations to Jonesey95 on their well-deserved induction into the Guild of Copy Editors Hall of Fame. The plaque reads: "For dedicated service as lead coordinator (2014, 1 July – 31 December 2015 and all of 2016) and coordinator (1 January – 30 June 2015 and 1 January – 30 June 2017); exceptional template-creation work (considerably streamlining project administration), and their emphasis on keeping the GOCE a drama-free zone."

Housekeeping note: We do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your watchlist.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Miniapolis, Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdslk.

To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Roy Cohn

Sorry, what? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roy_Cohn&oldid=prev&diff=768342351 MartinSFSA (talk) 07:21, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

MartinSFSAIt's up to you. But I don't see how your addition is adding value to the Wikipedia article on Roy Cohn.--Chewings72 (talk) 09:32, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
A section on references in the media? With other examples from The Simpsons? How is it not? MartinSFSA (talk) 13:33, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Revert on Sri Chinmoy page

Hi there please could you inform me why you reverted my edit on the Sri Chinmoy article page on March 10th? There was no edit summary at all so I have no idea what the reason was? As far as I can see I was just adding a small line of information from one of the verified news article references already used before in the article. If you could let me know please that might help in my future editing. Thank you.Maryanne881 (talk) 06:14, 12 March 2017 (UTC) Maryanne881 (talk) 06:14, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Maryanne881. Thank you for your question. As Softlavender has already explained to you, Wikipedia articles are not the place for self-promotion or for non-noteworthy events. I am sure that there were numerous events that took place in India and around the world to celebrate India's 50th anniversary. Including a specific reference to the Sri Chinmoy concerns associated with India's 50th anniversary seems to be a trivial event on that basis. --Chewings72 (talk) 06:41, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Just giving you notice in case you missed it. Sakuura Cartelet Talk 01:40, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Sakura Cartelet Thank you for the heads up re Maryanne881's concerns. I doubt that the user is upset with my comment on her talk page. I think it more likely that she is reacting to Softlavender's comments regarding her edits on the Sri Chinmoy talk page. Maryanne881 and Softlavender having been having ongoing disagreements for some time regarding the material that Maryanne881 is trying to include in the Sri Chinmoy article. Thanks. --Chewings72 (talk) 02:03, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
