Wikify Drive
Since you signed up for the September 2010 GOCE event, I wanted to invite you to participate in a similar event: the September 2010 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. In case you didn't know, "Wikification" is the process of formatting articles using Wiki markup (as opposed to plain text or HTML) and adding internal links to material. Barnstars will be awarded to participating editors. Thanks!

A Message from Avaloan
Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media—including but not limited to books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets—are largely not acceptable. (This doesn't mean it is not allowed totally)
Self-published material may in some circumstances be acceptable when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications
That Wiki page dedicated for Dragon Age Series and is maintained by experts and well fed by reliable sources so it's allowed consider that circumstances. Please read the policy again.
Reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOURCE Self-published sources (online and paper)
and thanks for your concerning ,if you found any mistake done by me in any wiki pages in wikipedia please send it me right away cause that may help for another reader. -Thanks By Avaloan —Preceding unsigned comment added by Avaloan (talk • contribs) 15:43, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
well, according to policies I have done the correct thing also you can see the Original Dragon Age Origins page used 2 wiki links 29 and 30. there is no where mentioned anything from wiki(outside wikis not Wikipedia) not totally acceptable it says largely not acceptable. but if Self-published material may in some circumstances be acceptable when produced by an established expert. yea of course anyone can edit Dragon Age Wiki but that fake details won't exist much time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Avaloan (talk • contribs) 12:52, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
GOCE newsletter
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
 Participation report — We have 71 participants in the September drive. 95 people signed up for the July drive, and in May we had 36. Progress report — We have been making solid progress in eliminating the 2008 articles from the backlog so far. If we continue to focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Overall volumes are lower than expected though, with nearly a thousand articles yet to be done if we are to meet our overall target. If you have not yet participated in the drive, we recommend you do so. If each person who signed up edits one article per day from now till the end of the month we can eliminate another 1,065 articles from the backlog. All contributions are appreciated. Announcement: credit for 10k+ articles — Participants editing a 10k word article may claim credit for two 5k+ articles on the leaderboard. Those that edit a 15k word article may claim credit for three. Regardless, the article is still counted as a single article in the tallies. Reminder — Articles from the Requests page can be included in your tally, even if they do not have a copy edit tag. This is a great place to go if you are interested in finding a higher quality article to work on. This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa (Talk), S Masters (talk), HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK, and The Raptor Let's talk. |

September 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive Conclusion
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors September 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated! Several of our top editors were called away to real life concerns during the month (be careful out there, people!). This meant that once again, we did not meet all our lofty targets, but we did come close.
Barnstars
A huge "thank you" to all editors who helped clear the backlog and to others who helped out behind-the-scenes. See you at the next drive, and until then, please continue to help us work through the backlog. Happy editing! Coordinator: ɳorɑfʈ Talk! Co-coordinators: Diannaa (Talk) and S Masters (talk). Newsletter by Diannaa (Talk) and The UtahraptorTalk to me/Contributions. |

The Cleanup Barnstar | |
| For your copyediting efforts during the Guild of Copy Editors' September 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, editing nine articles with a combined total of 12,504 words, I have great pleasure in presenting you with this barnstar. On behalf of the Guild, thank you for your participation, and see you at the next drive. – S Masters (talk) 16:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC) |
Thank you for substituting the copypaste template on the History section. The whole section content was copied from http://www.uq.edu.au/stjohns/HTML/History.html and has been removed. Even though the copyright tag on that site wasn't there, there wasn't a statement saying "Some of the content may have been copied from Wikipedia" or something like that, so I removed the text just in case.

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!
