Ce[edit]

Hi, I have posted a request for Bradley Cooper at WP:GOCE. Since you have copyedited many of my articles, I am hoping that you wouldn't mind undertaking this one either? It's perfectly understandable if you don't want to or want to later. FrB.TG (talk) 18:39, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Archives typo in your archive box[edit]

Please correct your typo in your archives box to this: User talk:Twofingered Typist/Archives/2016/August. You had a page named User-talk:Twofingered Typist/Archives/2016/August that was tagged for Speedy Deletion (typo was in the hyphenated User-talk). I moved the content of that to the page you already had set up: User talk:Twofingered Typist/Archives/2016/August, and then deleted the incorrectly named page. You now just need to correct the typo in your archives box. — Maile (talk) 20:24, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the copyedit, you've done a great job. I'll make a start on the archiving thing in the next few days, and add it to the WP:GAN list. Cheers, This is Paul (talk) 18:02, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I want to second what Krishna said. Accolades to you! (guess who created that article) FYI, I also am a 2 finger typist and it has worked fine for me for decades. See you around GOCE.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:25, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News[edit]

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News

Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter.

>>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<<

July Drive: The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove April, May, and June 2015 from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added July 2015 (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever.

August Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was sports-related articles in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdlsk.

Barnstars[edit]

		The Special Barnstar
		I feel like I must give you a special barnstar for your willingness on improving articles via copyediting. Although you are currently copyediting an article I have requested, I feel like you deserve this right now. Thank you for your incredible hard work!

		The Copyeditor's Barnstar
		For your work on St. John's Orphanage and Red imported fire ant. I am inclined to give you two because you are taking on one of the largest articles on Wikipedia! Thank you again. Burklemore1 (talk) 12:37, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
