  • A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to our latest newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since October. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.

Blitz: Our October Copy Editing Blitz focused on July and August 2022 request months; and articles tagged for c/e in December 2021 and January 2022. Seventeen of those who signed up claimed at least one copy-edit, and between them copy-edited forty-six articles. Barnstars awarded are here.

Drive: In the November Backlog Elimination Drive, thirty editors signed up, twenty-two of whom claimed at least one copy-edit. Both target months—December 2021 and January 2022—were cleared, and February was added to the target months. Sixteen requests were copy-edited and 239 articles were removed from the backlog. Barnstars awarded are here.

Blitz: Our seven-day-long December 2022 Copy Editing Blitz begins on 17 December at 00:01 (UTC)*. It will focus on articles tagged for copy-edit in February 2022, and pending requests from September and October. Barnstars awarded will be available here.

Progress report: As of 22:40, 8 December 2022, GOCE copyeditors have processed 357 requests since 1 January, there were seventy-four requests outstanding and the backlog stands at 1,791 articles. We always need skilled copy-editors; please help out if you can.

Election news: Nomination of candidates for the GOCE's Election of Coordinators for the first half of 2023 is open and continues until 23:59 on 15 December. Voting begins at 00:01 on 16 December and closes at 23:59 on 31 December. All editors in good standing (not under ArbCom or community sanctions) are eligible and self-nominations are welcomed. Coordinators serve a six-month term that ends at 23:59 on June 30. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, please nominate yourself or any editor you consider suitable—with their permission, of course!. It's your Guild and it doesn't coordinate itself.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers and best seasonal wishes from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis, Tenryuu, and Zippybonzo.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter error

The GOCE December 2022 newsletter, as sent on 9 December, contains an erroneous start date for our December Blitz. The Blitz will start on 11 December rather than on 17 December, as stated in the newsletter. I'm sorry for the mistake and for disrupting your talk page; thanks for your understanding.

I'm confused, Diannaa. What exactly was the issue? — Ixtal ( T / C ) Non nobis solum. 07:05, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
Some of the content you added was identical to that found here. — Diannaa (talk) 14:04, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
Diannaa, the content I added was merely a list of the job positions that the subject of the article had had if I remember correctly. I fail to see how that would be copyrighted material. — Ixtal ( T / C ) Non nobis solum. 14:08, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
You presented the content in the same order using identical wording, with no attempt at paraphrasing. That's not okay. — Diannaa (talk) 14:15, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
You could change the order of the list, and change the format in some way, by presenting the content as a bulleted list for example. — Diannaa (talk) 14:21, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification, Diannaa! — Ixtal ( T / C ) Non nobis solum. 19:45, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Happy Holidays everyone

Continue being the gift to the world you are. The joy this community brings me is infinite. — Ixtal ( T / C ) Non nobis solum. 22:32, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
