GOCE drive update

[edit]
Guild of Copy Editors May 2011 backlog elimination drive update

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors May 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Here is your mid-drive newsletter.

Participation
GOCE May 2011 backlog elimination drive progress graphs

So far, 54 people have signed up for the drive, and 33 are actively participating. If you signed up for the drive but have not participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you have not signed up for the drive yet, you can sign up now. If you have questions about getting started, feel free to talk to us. Many thanks to those editors who have been helping out at the Requests page. We currently have 17 articles awaiting edit.

Progress report

We are making slow progress on achieving our target of reducing the overall backlog by 15%; in order to accomplish this goal we will need to complete about 400 more articles. However, we are making good progress on the 2009 backlog, as we have eliminated over half of the articles from 2009 that were present at the start of the drive. Let's concentrate our fire power on the remaining months from 2009; leaderboard awards will be handed out for 2009 articles this drive. Thank you for participating in the May 2011 drive. We hope it will be another success!

Guild of Copy Editors May 2011 backlog elimination drive report

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors May 2011 Backlog elimination drive. Thank you for participating!

Participation
GOCE May 2011 backlog elimination drive progress graphs

There were 63 signups for the drive; of these, 45 participated. Although we did not award a bonus for articles from the Requests page this drive, we are not experiencing lengthy delays in getting the articles processed. Many thanks to editors who have been helping out at the Requests page and by copy editing articles from the backlog.

Progress report

During the month of May we reduced the backlog by approximately 10%, and made remarkable progress on eliminating articles tagged from 2009. There are now only 15 articles left, down from the 415 that were present when the drive started. Since our backlog drives began in May 2010 with 8,323 articles, we have cleared more than 54% of the backlog. A complete list of results and barnstars awarded can be found here. Barnstars will be distributed over the next week. If you enjoyed participating in our event, you may also like to join the Wikification drives, which are held on alternate months to our drives. Their June drive has started.

Coodinator election

The six-month term for our first tranche of Guild coordinators will be expiring at the end of June. We will be accepting nominations for the second tranche of coordinators, who will also serve a six-month term. Nominations will open starting on June 5. For complete information, please have a look at the election page.

Please feel free to contact any coordinator if you have any questions or need assistance. Your project coordinators are S Masters (talk), Diannaa (Talk), Tea with toast (Talk), Chaosdruid (talk), and Torchiest (talk).

About your Admin Coaching request

[edit]
User talk

Your submission at Admin Coaching has been removed from the request list, as requests where the submitter has not visited the page for at least 6 months (or been inactive for at least 4 months) are removed.

You are welcome to re-submit a request should you wish to, but please note that you are expected to regularly check the page (and to update the "last visited" field of your request) to show your continued interest in the project. If you do re-submit, please carefully re-read the instructions for submission as they may have changed since you last visited!

As noted on the project page, there is an on-going backlog with the project, as so few admins are currently coaching. This means that you may have a long wait for a response (if you receive one at all).

If you no longer require admin coaching, I hope that you continue to enjoy editing Wikipedia!

GOCE drive invitation

[edit]
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors

The latest GOCE backlog elimination drive is under way! It began on 1 July and so far 18 people have signed up to help us reduce the number of articles in need of copyediting.

This drive will give a 50% bonus for articles edited from the GOCE requests page. Although we have cleared the backlog of 2009 articles there are still 3,935 articles needing copyediting and any help, no matter how small, would be appreciated.

We are appealing to all GOCE members, and any other editors who wish to participate, to come and help us reduce the number of articles needing copyediting, as well as the backlog of requests. If you have not signed up yet, why not take a look at the current signatories and help us by adding your name and copyediting a few articles. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words".

The page King sodipodi looks like it may be a valid CSD, but I prefer not to delete a page unless the creator has been notified.

Lisa Hannigan

[edit]

Hi Pi,

thanks for your message regarding Lisa Hannigan.

There was content on the page that's untrue and misleading. I am Lisa's tour manager and she asked me to remove it.

I am new to wikipedia, so not entirely sure how it works, but it's important to Lisa and I that her page has correct information and not info that is disjointed and irrelevant.

Can you explain what I did wrong so it doesn't happen again?

Thanks, Una — Preceding unsigned comment added by Turningpirate (talkcontribs) 21:09, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Additional

[edit]

Hi Pi,

Thanks for your note and explanation.

There are two reason I wanted to delete portions of the article.

One being there, is information about Lisa's personal life, where she went to school, what school plays she was in etc that are invasive and irrelevant, regardless of if they are true.

The other reason is that there is information that is completely irrelevant to her career as a singer that is written out of context. A whole portion that explains about a theatre group she was involved in many years ago, that was a very brief and distant memory, but now because it is on her wikipedia page, she is constantly asked about it in interviews and it is embarrassing to always have to explain that it was just a few weeks and she is not an actor or never was.

I find it disturbing the twist that is put on this with the COI article. That because I know Lisa personally and work with her I am not allowed to control what is put up on the page that everyone refers to to find out about her? This is worrying.

Lisa and I would both prefer that the information on the page is halved, with just the information relating to her current career and without giving misleading info about her past or her personal life, this is not an attempt to promote anything, but rather to have the information remain neutral as is wikipedia's aim.

Can you explain how I can do this?

Thanks, Una — Preceding unsigned comment added by Turningpirate (talkcontribs) 08:24, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've finished the review for the International Criminal Court investigation in Kenya. I know it was a long time coming and that is a shame. I have held the article for a week pending work. I do not feel that it meets GA Criteria at this time but some concerted effort could bring it there. If you have questions or concerns please discuss them on the review page. If I do not respond to your questions please ping me at my talk page and I'll get right on it. Thank you for your efforts on this article.
