GOCE drive news

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 backlog elimination drive Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! The drive is halfway over, so here are some mid-drive stats. Participation GOCE January 2011 backlog elimination drive progress graphs So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can sign up now. Progress report We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal. Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success! Your drive coordinators –S Masters (talk), Diannaa (Talk), The UtahraptorTalk to me, and Tea with toast (Talk)

"vandalism" edit

Hi,

I edited the facial moles page to get rid of a bunch of idiomatic nonsense and remove a ridiculously specific description of the "wealth spots" found on a human face. In addition, I softened the author's assertion that moleomancy is a key element of "Chinese culture" by adjusting it to say "traditional Chinese culture."

I failed to provide a detailed explanation as I had placed other edits in the section explaining what I was doing before deciding to cut out the description of the 9 wealth spots hoping that common sense would prevail. When it did not, I made the same changes, this time providing (as requested) a brief explanation of my reasons for editing.

In a nutshell, please put my changes back. Nobody cares about the wealth spots. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.176.249.241 (talk) 06:22, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

I did put your changes back. Have a good day. TheMike •^{Wassup doc?} 06:23, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

LSD

I appreciate your message, rather than reverting my edit with no explanation. The reference that exists does not suggest that the cognitive/behavioural deficits were signs of organic brain damage- that was from an earlier paper entitled- Chronic LSD users: The Acidheads, lovely title, which still did not suggest that there was any damage, nor that it was a result of LSD use (in fact the measures were not really cognitive performance anyway). Cohen (the ref actually cited) found cognitive and behavioural deficits, but were a very long way from suggesting any organic damage. A further study on the subject found similar results, though to a lesser degree, and again suggested that it was not appropriate to suggest the impairments were causally related to LSD use. The last paper, which has the benefit of reviewing the other two papers, states that the designs of all the studies inhibit any conclusion the impairments associated with LSD are indicative of brain damage. Here is the link to the ref- http://www.lycaeum.org/research/researchpdfs/1936.pdf. Ninahexan (talk) 08:39, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Very well, I haven't examined the sources, but if you feel it is properly sourced, then you can put it back. Have a good day. TheMike •^{Wassup doc?} 10:27, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your welcoming. But I think my edit was constructive. By making a troll edit, I was able to get the article deleted, without having to join into an exhausting argument myself. I call that constructive. You should consider engaging in trolling yourself.

With kind regards, 212.23.103.121 (talk) 22:39, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

I am sorry, I don't know what you are referring to, since the article has been deleted. Hope your problem was sorted out in the end. Have a good day. TheMike •^{Wassup doc?} 04:51, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
