Guild of Copy Editors June 2016 News
Hello everyone, welcome to the June 2016 GOCE newsletter. It's been a few months since we sent one out; we hope y'all haven't forgotten about the Guild! Your coordinators have been busy behind the scenes as usual, though real life has a habit of reducing our personal wiki-time. The May backlog reduction drive, the usual coordinating tasks and preparations for the June election are keeping us on our toes! May drive: Thanks to everyone who participated in last month's record-setting backlog reduction drive. Of the 29 people who signed up, 16 copyedited at least one article, 197 copyedits were recorded on the drive page, and the copyedit backlog fell below 1,500 for the first time! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. June Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz will occur from 12 June through 18 June; the themes will be video games and Asian geography. Coordinator elections: It's election time again; how quickly they seem to roll around! Nominations for the next tranche of Guild coordinators, who will serve a six-month term that begins at 00:01 UTC on 1 July and ends at 23:59 UTC on 31 December, opens at 00:01 UTC on 1 June and closes at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. Voting takes place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. If you'd like to assist behind the scenes, please consider stepping forward; self-nominations are welcomed and encouraged. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; remember it's your Guild, and it doesn't run itself! 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, Miniapolis and Baffle gab1978.

Regarding Ark Music Factory status
You seem like a good guy so let's discuss it civilly. There are multiple sings that the company in question is no longer active. Their official website, YouTube channel and social media profiles hasn't been updated for more than 3 years. While they were showing some kind of activity, they only had 1 signed artist - Lexi St. George, which probably parted with them, and that is the reason for their collapse i'm guessing.

My script to automatically sort deletion discussions at WP:AFD is no longer active, nor is my script to simply click "Install" next to scripts I want to install on pages that list them.

It is now. Thank you for the assistance you have provided; I couldn't find any errors in my console, but just in case it matters it showed me a lot of "X is deprecated" stuff.

Your remark on the holocaust and my understanding of it
- Hi Zeke. First and foremost allow me to apologize for my misunderstanding of your comment.
- Let me also apologize and say I thought I warned you on your talk page about my remark on ANI the Incidents list of the Administrator noticeboard (not sure where it is now, that's where it was during your latest edit.)
- There is still something open which I wish to understand.
- In a discussion about deleting a page titled: "Proof the Nazis deliberately killed six million Jews" which redirected to holocaust denial you voted to delete it and wrote the following: (my tilting)
- Delete, WP:POV, not to mention that it's a pretty specific search term that isn't likely to be used. While it's pretty clear that the Nazis performed the Holocaust, this was probably created out of (understandable) spite for the target.
- When you wrote WP:POV, what were you referring to? The number of victims? The Nazi regime's deliberate intentions? The wording: "The Nazis"? All those together? Something else?
- My understanding was that in your vote for deletion at this stage of the discussion, you were saying that the claims of the title are a POV and that, therefore, you yourself were denying the Holocaust, it's horrific vast range, and it's premeditated ideology, plan, and execution.
- You then went on to add "this was probably created..."
- I (understandably) as you can see, read this as the Holocaust being "performed" due to understandable spite of their target: the Jews.
- You wrote: I know this discussion is closed, but since it's about me, I feel obligated to chime in (and am putting it underneath the part I'm not supposed to mess with). I'm glad most people understood my comment as intended, but perhaps I should have written "spite for the subject of the target article", as that is what I meant...
- I apologize again about the misunderstanding, but still don't fully understand two things:
- 1. Who or what is "the subject of the target article" that the writer of this redirection had spite on? Or was it a mistake of yours and you meant the Nazis (which are not the subject of the target article, niether the redirecting nore the redirected-to page)?
- 2. Could you please explain the POV remark?
- Last but not least, I did check and see that you are NOT a writer on these issues, and that you do exceptionally good work on WP. Thank you again, and apologies again. Moshe פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 16:21, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- OK thank you. Alls well that ends well.
- Basically you responded on my talk page explaining:
- a. The page was written due to (understandable) spite for Holocaust denial.
- b. That you felt the name of the deleted page was charged with feelings or was written with a biased moral stance, which you claim cannot be part of Wikipedia. (I beg to defer but don't wish to argue on it).
- c. That your stance on the issue is that you stand against holocaust denial.
- In the details of your answer you wrote about your problem with the word deliberate, which should not be used, in your opinion, on WP. I wrote that the deliberation of an action can be proven, by showing evidence of threats, planning, setting up mechanisms, orders, and admittance. I noted that the claim of indelibarate killing of most of the Jews (for the sole reason of being Jewish) is part of Holocaust Denial.
- If you wish to discuss this, I would rather we do so on your talk page.
- I wish to say again, thank you. And again I appologize. Alls well that ends well. פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 23:12, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Pashute: I really have no idea how I can explain this much more clearly to you (for those of you just tuning in, please check his talk page for the missing portion of this conversation). We're treading into territory that I'm not comfortable discussing on Wikipedia. I'm not going to continue this conversation further as I've said all that I can possibly think of to explain myself to you. Every time I say something else you bring up something I said that can be vaguely misconstrued as something I never meant. I'm close to asking for a third opinion, but since this is no longer a content dispute, this is no longer suitable for this site and I'm getting weary of discussing this further. I thought we had reached an understanding, but I keep saying things that upset you to some degree even though you're taking them completely the wrong way. Let me just make this clear - I am in absolutely no way anti-Semitic, and that's that. That's all I know I can say that I can have you understand as I intended. Have a nice day, and please do not reply to this post. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 10:31, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

About three years ago I moved the page REC 3: Genesis from its Spanish title to the English equivalent, per WP:UE. About three months later, I was reverted without being made aware of it. I only noticed it a few minutes ago.
I admit I don't have much experience with page moves, and the few times I've tried, things seem to have changed. A few years ago, I recall it being the case that once a page had been moved I could not move it back using the page move form because moves always leave redirects behind. If I tried, I'd get a notice saying the move could not be done.
Apparently that has changed, because I tried it again out of curiosity, and I found that the redirects left behind by the other editor's reversal of my move - I fear a dispute brewing here, but that's not the point of this post - were automatically deleted per WP:G6. The pages where the redirects once existed are now where the proper article and its associated talk page reside; the Spanish versions are now the redirects.
As the pages had not been moved in such a way before, the page move did not happen this way three years ago.
I do not believe I had any such authority to make this move, and I apologize if I have overstepped my bounds. I'm definitely confused as to what's going on here. As to why I did what I did in the first place, or whether my rationale is valid, that's not the point of my request - I only want to know if I should have sought some sort of consensus or authorization for this action, since it resulted in speedy deletion of two redirects, and if so, where should I have sought it out? My understanding is that only admins and the like have the authority to apply this criterion and use it to delete pages, regardless of how truly uncontroversial such deletions are.
I believe I should have initiated some kind of discussion on the talk page first. I only did so after I performed the page move. I definitely think I followed the steps out of order here.
Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 10:53, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- It's possible for any registered user to move a page over a redirect pointing to that page if that redirect has a trivial page history, as these had. In such cases the redirect is deleted automatically to make way for the page to be moved; this does not require being an admin (I think at least part of the purpose is to allow non-admins to undo page move vandalism). The move will leave behind a redirect which again has a trivial page history, so the page move can be reverted. Huon (talk) 12:33, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:The Jelly Jam albums
A tag has been placed on Category:The Jelly Jam albums requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!
