GOCE November 2012 copy edit drive update

Guild of Copy Editors November 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter

  • Participation: Out of 31 people signed up for this drive so far, 22 have copy-edited at least one article. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us!
  • Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive. We have reduced our target group of articles—November and December 2011—by over 50%, and 34 of the the 56 requests made in September and October this year have already been fulfilled. However, the rate of tagging for copy edit has increased, and this month we are just keeping the size of the backlog stable. So, all you copy editors, please do come along and help us!
  • The September 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest was won by Baffle gab1978 for his copy edit of Expulsion of the Acadians. Runner up was Gareth Griffith-Jones for his edit of I Could Fall in Love. Congratulations to both.
  • The October 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the discussion and voting stage until midnight November 30 (UTC). You don't have to make a submission to vote!
  • November 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the submissions stage until midnight November 30 (UTC), when discussion and voting begin.
  • Seasonal oversight: We had a slight fall from grace in the title of our last newletter, which mentioned the season in the northern hemisphere and thus got it wrong for the southern. Fortunately an observant GOCE member was ready to spring into action to advise us. Thanks! In future we'll stay meteorologically neutral.

Armenian population statistics

Hi,
I have mentioned you in this AN/I thread, because I think Sevomaritsa20 (talk · contribs) is the same person as 46.19.99.6 (talk · contribs), who you blocked in May following this discussion. Your comments would be welcome! Have fun... bobrayner (talk) 10:19, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. I've given the user in question an indefinite block, with a detailed explanation of what he/she would need to do in order to have the block lifted (as well as a warning against socking to evade the block). — Richwales 07:21, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Afroyim v. Rusk

I just reread it and it looks ready for FAC to me ( I am sure the reviewers will find some things to tweak, but it looked ready to me). Ruhrfisch ><>°° 05:06, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Sri Lanka

Hi, could you arbitrate on whether certain claims should be included in the introduction of the Sri Lanka page as opposed to their respective articles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sri_Lanka BlueLotusLK (talk) 21:33, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I'm really not able right now to spend the time necessary to give this issue the extensive attention it clearly deserves. I'm in the middle of two time-consuming on-wiki activities right now, in addition to my off-wiki "real world life". — Richwales 21:36, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
