Mediation case for David Quinn (Actor)

Thanks for taking this on, but I think it has pretty much resolved itself.

This article is a short bio about a man who once acted in television and is now a teacher.

Periodically some of his students like to add material to the article. Often this material comes from personal interviews with the subject; rather than reputable sources.

I have this article on my watchlist because about 6 months ago a group of his students got into an argument over material in the article and started reverting any and all changes.

Over the last couple of weeks I've had an ongoing discussion with a young editor over what constitutes a source for a particular sentence that the young editor wished to add.

I felt that the discussion was stalled, so I opened the case. I archived the discussion in one of the article's archived pages.

The sentence is now supported by a new addition to the IMDB. The IMDB did not support the sentence several weeks ago and I'm not that familiar with how the IMDB works, but now there seems to be some new material added to the IMDB entry for the subject.

That's a brief synopsis from my point of view.

League of Copyeditors participation drive!

Dear League member,

We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you can, please help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:

• Select an article to copy-edit from the backlog. After your copy-edit, list the article in the articles ready for final proofread section.
• Select a different article to proofread from the articles ready for final proofread section.

Thanks for your help! BuddingJournalist 08:38, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Sale, Greater Manchester FAC

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but as a LoCE member, I just wondered if you would be willing to have a look through the Sale, Greater Manchester article. It is currently a Featured Article Candidate and needs a copy-edit for grammar by someone who hasn't yet seen it. Any other ways to improve the article would also be welcome. Thank you very much, if you can. Epbr123 08:10, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

League of Copyeditors roll call

Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there. The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors.
