Welcome to the GOCE!

Hello Pupsterlove02 and welcome to the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE)! We are glad that you have decided to help us in our mission to improve the quality of writing on the English Wikipedia! Here are some links that you might find helpful to get started on your copy-editing journey!

• A how-to guide to Wikipeda copyediting
• Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS), a helpful guide to refer to while copy editing
  • A simplified version of the above
• A quick guide to writing on Wikipedia

You can help with copy-editing requests if you already have familiarity with the MOS and considerable English copy-editing skills, or start with articles tagged for copy editing to gain experience.

Thank you so much for joining the GOCE, we appreciate it!

For the GOCE, --Puddleglum^2.0_{(How's my driving?)} 18:42, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Gerald Ford assassination attempt in San Francisco, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mr.Sarcastic (talk) 14:34, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

(by talk page watcher)

Dear Mr.Sarcastic,

Please may I suggest, in the nicest possible way, that you reconsider your intervention above, in this specific case? It would seem you are unaware that Pupsterlove02 is a new editor since 30 April 2020 who has already earned all the new joiner badges. She has recently joined the Guild of Copy Editors and correctly declared an interest in copy-editing the article on Gerald Ford assassination attempt in San Francisco. That article displayed the {{Copy edit}} template, and the editor quite correctly applied the {{GOCE in use}} template, only to find it reverted by you within a minute of doing so. It seems to me that this was an oversight on your part, and that you appear to have misinterpreted her action as vandalism. Please may I therefore invite you to amend the situation, perhaps by encouraging Pupsterlove02 to proceed with her original intent to contribute to this article? Thank you for helping her in this way.

Thank you also for reading my post in the positive spirit in which it was written, and I am hopeful you will agree to help maintain harmony within our community of new editors, per WP:DBN. Thank you for your time and consideration.

With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.^{(talk)(become old-fashioned!)} 16:17, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me out here, Pdebee!

After receiving Mr.Sarcastic's message on this page, I looked over Gerald Ford assassination attempt in San Francisco and its history again. It appears that several copy editors have already gone through the article, leaving maybe only a few minor points to fix. While I am still interested in copy editing the article, I moved on to Demitoilet, and it may take me a bit to finish that article and return to other projects. However, if the article on Ford's assassination attempt still needs editing once I've finished my current project, I will be happy to return! Pupsterlove02 (talk) 16:32, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

You're most welcome, Pupsterlove02. Thank you for your post, and for your willingness to return to that article whenever you feel like it. I commend you on your enthusiasm and wish you an enjoyable time here at the Wiki.

With kind regards; Patrick. ツ Pdebee.^{(talk)(become old-fashioned!)} 16:42, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Copy edit review of Nay Toe

Hi Pupsterlove02! Thank you for your participation in the May copy edit drive. I have completed a review of your first article, Nay Toe. It looks like you made a number of good edits that improved the quality of the article. I made some additional edits for grammar (e.g., italicizing movie titles) and word choice (e.g., changing "unidentifiable source" to "anonymous source"), as well as a few changes for neutrality. Please look over my edits and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again for your work! Regards, Tdslk (talk) 23:15, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing my edits and catching what I missed, Tdslk! Looks great! – Pupsterlove02 (talk) 12:50, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Help with moving an article

The article currently titled La Carillon de Vendôme was created under the title Le Carillon de Vendôme (now a redirect) and moved to its current title two years later. The reason given was incorrect gender, but le is correct because carillon is a masculine noun, and the French article also uses le. However, due to the redirect, I can't seem to find a way to move it back to its original title, and I can't tell if requesting a technical move is the solution. Can someone help me out here? Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 18:16, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Pupsterlove02, I've made a CSD request on Le Carillon de Vendôme to allow La Carillon de Vendôme to be moved - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 18:45, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

The Lot disambiguation

I recently created an article on The Lot (album), and am now wondering if disambiguation for the term "the lot" needs to be fixed. As of now, "The lot" is a redirect to Samuel Goldwyn Studio (as it now goes by that name) and "The Lot" is a minor television show, the article for which also has a hatnote leading to On the Lot. I looked into WP:DAB, especially WP:NOPRIMARY, but I'm still not sure what the best course of action is. Should I add links for The Lot (album) on one or more of these pages, and if so, which? Or would it be better to create a new disambig page for the term "the lot"? Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 13:43, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I suggest the following:

1. Create The Lot (disambiguation), with links to The Lot, On the Lot, The Lot (album), Samuel Goldwyn Studio, and Lot.
2. Change The lot to redirect to The Lot (disambiguation)
3. Change the hatnote on The Lot to go to The Lot (disambiguation)
4. Add a link from Lot to The Lot (disambiguation).

Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 15:32, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestions, GoingBatty! I'll start working on that now. Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 15:38, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

The Lot Radio could be another article to add to The Lot (disambiguation). GoingBatty (talk) 15:53, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, will add that as well. Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 15:56, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

GOCE June newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors June 2020 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the June newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since March 2020. You can unsubscribe from our mailings at any time; see below. All times and dates stated are in UTC. Current events Election time: Nomination of candidates in our mid-year Election of Coordinators opened on 1 June, and voting will take place from 00:01 on 16 June. GOCE coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, or you know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. June Blitz: This blitz begins at 00:01 on 14 June and ends at 23:59 on 20 June, with themes of articles tagged for copyedit in May 2020 and requests. Drive and blitz reports March Drive: Self-isolation from coronavirus may have played a hand in making this one of our most successful backlog elimination drives. The copy-editing backlog was reduced from 477 to a record low of 118 articles, a 75% reduction. The last four months of 2019 were cleared, reducing the backlog to three months. Fifty requests were also completed, and the total word count of copy-edited articles was 759,945. Of the 29 editors who signed up, 22 completed at least one copy edit. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. April Blitz: This blitz ran from 12 to 18 April with a theme of Indian military history. Of the 18 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed a total of 60 copyedits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. May Drive: This event marked the 10th anniversary of the GOCE's copy-editing drives, and set a goal of diminishing the backlog to just one month of articles, as close to zero articles as possible. We achieved the goal of eliminating all articles that had been tagged prior to the start of the drive, for the first time in our history! Of the 51 editors who signed up, 43 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news Progress report: as of 2 June, GOCE participants had processed 328 requests since 1 January, which puts us on pace to exceed any previous year's number of requests. As of the end of the May drive, the backlog stood at just 156 articles, all tagged in May 2020. Outreach: To mark the 10th anniversary of our first Backlog Elimination Drive, The Signpost contributor and GOCE participant Puddleglum2.0 interviewed project coordinators and copy-editors for the journal's April WikiProject Report. The Drive and the current Election of Coordinators have also been covered in The Signpost's May News and Notes page. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Help with copyvio

So I've come across my first copyvio, and it's fairly obvious, but as this isn't my chief area of contribution here on the Wiki, I'm not sure what needs to be done. The article in question is fire museum, specifically the section on Portugal. Not only are the references given not formatted properly, they are primary sources and the first reference is copied pretty closely. The section needs a lot of work and I figure it's best to try to bring this to the attention of someone who has more expertise in this area. Thanks, Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 16:25, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Invitation to RedWarn

Hello, Pupsterlove02! I'm Ed6767. I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to beta my new tool called RedWarn, specifically designed to improve your editing experience.

RedWarn is currently in use by over 80 other Wikipedians, and feedback so far has been extremely positive. In fact, in a recent survey of RedWarn users, 90% of users said they would recommend RedWarn to another editor. If you're interested, please see the RedWarn tool page for more information on RedWarn's features and instructions on how to install it. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your talk page. If you have any further questions, please ping me or leave a message on my talk page. Your feedback is much appreciated! Ed6767 talk! 19:43, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

@Ed6767: Thanks for the recommendation! I actually considered using it a few days ago (you might be able to find evidence of that in my contributions), but realized that one of the features that made it so helpful, the new right-click menu, prevented me from opening pages in a new tab. I also am still working on gaining counter-vandalism experience, and recently signed up for the CVUA. Once I finish that course, I will probably come back to RedWarn and try it out again! Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 19:49, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Pupsterlove02, that's great! Sorry I didn't notice - most people don't realise that all links in the right-click menu to open in a new tab and that you can also disable it in your preferences under the behaviour tab. Keep in touch on how it works for you when you try it again! Ed6767 talk! 19:52, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Wondering how credible a source is

Hello, I am currently working on finding more sources for The Lot (album). One source I've come across a few times, The Queen Chronology (2nd Edition), is located here. The first edition ([1]) of this book has been deemed reliable and is even cited on the artist's page (see Roger Taylor (Queen drummer) reference 14). However, the second edition was self-published at Lulu.com. The second edition is substantially different, mostly in that six years passed between the two editions and a lot of content was released in that time. I realize that Wikipedia generally does not accept self-published sources, but I'd also like to use this as a source if I can, as I can't seem to easily find some of the other information in it online. If someone else could give an opinion on this source, that'd be great! Thanks, Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 22:40, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, but you can't ask questions like this using the {{help me}} template. Please use the reliable sources noticeboard and, remember please, that no source is considered 'reliable' without considering the context of which facts it is being used to support.

See: WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard for more information. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:19, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Ok, sorry about that, didn't realize that was where I should've gone. Will keep in mind for the future. Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 23:24, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

"Blanking w/o source"

Hi Pupsterlove02, a source is usually not required for removing content – on the contrary, WP:BURDEN and WP:ONUS explicitly state the opposite. That said, thank you for restoring the content; the user had been doing this disruptively to illustrate a point. Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:35, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

IP, Red links are allowed and don't need to be removed—they can be good at encouraging editors to create new articles. In this case, I would argue that those articles could be created in the future, so the red links should stay until someone can come along and make them blue. More detail can be found in the wikilink.

Question

You may remember that an IP user was edit warring on Anti-Russian sentiment recently. They restored their edit again after edit warring again and refused to use the talk page, but they decided to make some changes. They use the same sources as before and a couple new ones. One opinion piece by Julia Ioffe, an Estonian news article about what a former president says, a RFE/RL blog (under The Power Vertical) ("The Power Vertical is a blog written especially for Russia wonks and obsessive Kremlin watchers by Brian Whitmore."), and an undergraduate paper. Despite this, I can't find any way in which the sources support what the IP user wrote, pretty much giving a justification of this type of hatred, nothing in these sources say anything about "Russophobia" being "a cogent, realistic appraisal and reaction to the misdeeds of the Russian people across history". Their second sentence is just unsourced. Originally the IP user included some tweets by Toomas Hendrik Ilves as his sources and claimed it was a legitimate source. What do you think about this? It seems like completely OR (from the tweets). I am wondering whether this IP user should just be reported to the admins because I know they are continuously going to edit war (at least with me) and refuse to use the talk page, they have a battleground mentality and now they have resorted to personal attacks in their edit summary with me, because apparently they know that they are right. More annoying their IP address constantly changes. Thanks. Mellk (talk) 15:33, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

@Mellk: I've been kinda half-paying attention to this edit war and haven't stepped in only because this isn't a topic area I'm all that familiar with, but now that I've had some time to look through the new sources the IP has provided, I agree with you that the IP's edits fall under WP:SYNTH, and they're not exactly WP:NPOV either. I've restored your version without the IP's addition for now, but this is a little harder to report to WP:ANEW because of the dynamic IP; I'd consider reporting to WP:ANI if you catch them edit warring, particularly if they continue with the WP:PAs.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate your help. Mellk (talk) 00:52, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

@Mellk: I ended up bringing them to WP:ANEW anyways here. Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 22:04, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. All the best. Mellk (talk) 04:17, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Pupsterlove02,

After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

For some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:53, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Note: While Huggle technically uses rollback for most of its reverts, the restrictions of WP:ROLLBACKUSE only apply to the "Q" key and the summary-less "vandalism" revert button. As long as you select an appropriate reason from the menus, it's fine. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:56, 13 May 2021 (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.

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!
