Edit for Dr. Joe MacInnis on expeditions
Hi,
Guess I didn't have the protocol straight.
- Hi. I am a close friend of Joe MacInnis and he asked me to post the list of expeditions as he doesn’t know how. He is a bit computer challenged. Please undo what you did so it is visible. Any questions, let me know as he has requested that it be visible. Thank you. I’m not familiar with wiki protocol myself. Thanks for your help. DeepDoug (talk) 03:18, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi ... the information I put on the page was at the request of Dr. MacInnis and was supplied by him to me. It was done by the Canadian Geographic Society in Ottawa. He requested I upload it for him. DeepDoug (talk) 20:42, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Stone Skimming Competition in Catalonia
Hi There,
I'm a professional stone skimmer from the UK and wanted to ask where you got the information about the competition in Catalonia from when you edited the Stone Skipping wiki page back in 2009. I know this is an incredible long shot. I would so so love to know this as we're (other skimmers) collecting history of the sport.
The edit you made was : Former world champion Coleman-McGhee founded the North American Stone Skipping Association (NASSA) in 1989 in Driftwood, Texas. NASSA-sanctioned world championships were held from 1989 through 1992[citation needed] in Wimberley, Texas. The next official NASSA World Championship is expected to be held at Platja d'en Ros beach in Cadaqués, Catalonia, Spain.[citation needed].
Any insight you could be provide would be so greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Alex Lewis MaweKiri (talk) 13:00, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2023 Newsletter
![]() Hello and welcome to the September 2023 newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since June. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. David Thomsen: Prolific Wikipedian and Guild member David Thomsen (Dthomsen8) died in November 2022. He was a regular copy editor who took part in many of our Drives and Blitzes. An obituary was published in the mid-July issue of The Signpost. Tributes can be left on David's talk page. Election news: In our mid-year Election of Coordinators, Dhtwiki was chosen as lead coordinator, Miniapolis and Zippybonzo continue as assistant coordinators, and Baffle gab1978 stepped down from the role. If you're interested in helping out at the GOCE, please consider nominating yourself for our next election in December; it's your WikiProject and it doesn't organize itself! June Blitz: Of the 17 editors who signed up for our June Copy Editing Blitz, 12 copy-edited at least one article. 70,035 words comprising 26 articles were copy-edited. Barnstars awarded are here. July Drive: 34 of the 51 editors who took part in our July Backlog Elimination Drive copy-edited at least one article. They edited 276 articles and 683,633 words between them. Barnstars awarded are here. August Blitz: In our August Copy Editing Blitz, 13 of the 16 editors who signed up worked on at least one article. Between them, they copy-edited 79,608 words comprising 57 articles. Barnstars awarded are available here. September Drive: Sign up here for our month-long September Backlog Elimination Drive, which is now underway. Barnstars awarded will be posted here. Progress report: As of 14:29, 9 September 2023 (UTC), GOCE copy editors have processed 245 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stands at 2,066. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis and Zippybonzo.
