FC report

[edit]

I've done most of the FC report for this week so it will finally be up to date. I've asked Dank to do the FP descriptions. The newsroom is still showing a red link to the report for some reason. --Pine✉ 02:02, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Pine, you're a lifesaver. The redlink is a caching issue that I've fixed (you add ?action=purge to the end of a WP URL) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:17, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
I am back after exams and now ready again. As I have promised, I have made a template Template:Signpost Welcome but have no idea to go on.. Please look into that. Herald talk with me 14:26, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey Herald, nice to see you again! I hope the exams went well. I've added some proposed text to the template; it could be used for relatively newish users who haven't subscribed? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 22:54, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, I think we must ping @Koavf: for template documentation.Herald talk with me 02:50, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
I'm not sure how much documentation we need, as it'll just be placed on user talk pages; I just wonder if we need any additional information! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 07:42, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

March GOCE copyedit drive

[edit]
Notes from the Guild of Copy Editors

The March 2014 backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles in need of copyediting. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copyedit all articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and to complete all requests placed in January 2014. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copyedits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: number of articles, number of words, number of articles over 5,000 words, number of articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and the longest article. We hope to see you there!

Amended block

[edit]

When you removed TP access, you've omitted to leave an edit summary. It needs to state: "Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy Do not unblock without ArbCom consent, per User:GorillaWarfare" or similar,  Roger Davies talk 23:46, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Ah, I wasn't aware that the block log needed to be carried over. I don't want to leave an unnecessary entry in the block log, so I'll leave it to the committee to decide if that step is necessary. Thanks for the note, Roger! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 23:54, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
Turning off talk page access added an entry anyway ;) The ES's main purpose is to alert admins that they can't unblock unilaterally and prevent them doing so inadvertently. Anyhow, I've done it now.  Roger Davies talk 00:12, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
Fair enough. Thanks for your prompt reply! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 00:19, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
