Hello and welcome to the August 2018 GOCE newsletter. Thanks to everyone who participated in the Guild's June election; your new and returning coordinators are listed below. The next election will occur in December 2018; all Wikipedia editors in good standing may take part.

Our June blitz focused on Requests and articles tagged for copy edit in October 2017. Of the eleven people who signed up, eight editors recorded a total of 28 copy edits, including 3 articles of more than 10,000 words. Complete results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the July drive. Of the seventeen people who signed up, thirteen editors completed 194 copy edits, successfully removing all articles tagged in the last three months of 2017. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are here.

The August blitz will run for one week, from 19 to 25 August. Sign up now!

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Reidgreg, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, Miniapolis and Tdslk.

Please participate to the talk pages consultation

Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

Out of curiosity

Have you retired your account? You seem to have made no edits for the last several months except some comments of peripheral relevance to the discussion at Talk:Mottainai; one of the more recent ones looked helpful (I was being sincere with this "thank you"), but a closer examination revealed it to be somewhat spurious and possibly motivated by a desire to undermine my edit to the article (this blank revert broke the article citations and seemed quite WP:POINTy). If you are going to continue contributing to Wikipedia, I would request that you do so, and not to feign retirement while popping up now and then to "gotcha" me in particular. Hijiri 88 (やや) 04:04, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

No, I had wondered the same thing myself and at one point looked it up. That edit was simply trying to be helpful. Sorry if it came across as anything else. As to why I don't edit much anymore, there are a number of reasons. One was disappointment with a couple of admin actions, the most recent of which was Tony's deletion of the last version of the disputed paraphrase from Siniawer. Regardless of what anyone may have thought of earlier versions, I felt that the last one was clearly in accordance with the guidelines and should have been allowed to stand. OK, so he's a busy guy with no time for these distinctions. I get that. But I still felt it was wrong. The second is the suspicion that all of my edits are being monitored by a hostile editor (you), who may be gathering material to use against me. Regardless of whether of not that's the case, it's not a good feeling. The third is my health, which I won't go into except to say that I'm not in a position to do a lot of research.
About why I comment now and then on the Mottainai article, I am watching it to see if my point about respect for things survives. This is an attitude that I feel a lot of affinity with, whether in architecture, literature, or philosophy. I would be happy if it were articulated there.– Margin1522 (talk) 12:52, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
I am watching it to see if my point about respect for things survives So ... you've been advocating for OR based on your personal opinion? Why do you feel the need to cast your own view back into Japan's (and China's, and India's) ancient past via Wikipedia? I hold all sorts of personal views that I couldn't care less if ancient Buddhists shared, but I wouldn't have thought this had any relevance to editing Wikipedia one way or the other. Hardly any of your article edits, or recent comments, have had any relation to respect for things in architecture, literature, or philosophy, and have instead focused on tying the modern environmentalist movement to ancient Chinese and Japanese Buddhism. Hijiri 88 (やや) 13:25, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for your interest, but at this point I think I have said pretty much all of what I have to say here and in the article comments.– Margin1522 (talk) 23:53, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
