Re: Survivor South Pacific
Re your message: I don't mind at all. I tend to make typos and get wordy/redundant from time to time so I'm glad that somebody cleans up my mess. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
Feedback Dashboard task force
Hi Buster7,
Since you were a part of the WikiGuides project, I thought I'd give you a heads-up about a new way you can help/mentor newbies on en.wiki: we've recently released a feature called the Feedback Dashboard, a queue that updates in real time with feedback and editing questions from new registered contributors who have attempted to make at least one edit. Steven Walling and I are putting together a task force for experienced Wikipedians who might be interested in monitoring the queue and responding to the feedback: details are here at Wikipedia:Feedback Dashboard. Please sign up if you're interested in helping out! Thanks, Maryana (WMF) (talk) 21:59, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

May I email you, please? TRA! - Hydroxonium (T•C•V) 13:04, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, of course. TRA! Buster Seven Talk 13:11, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. I just sent an email. TRA! - Hydroxonium (T•C•V) 15:17, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

- Thanks B7, you're the best. BTW, your username, Buster7, wouldn't happen to be partially inspired by Blake's 7, would it? Just curious. Yes, collaborating on articles sounds fun. I'm good at digging up references but not so good at copy editing. Since your a member of GOCE, we might make a good team. Anyhoo, thanks for the email. TRA! - Hydroxonium (T•C•V) 04:45, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- Hey Hy. Never heard of Blake's 7. Buster is a childhood nickname, 7 is a special number. TRA!Buster Seven Talk 15:14, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

GOCE drive newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors November 2011 backlog elimination drive update
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors November 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter. Participation: We have had 46 people sign up for this drive so far, and 28 have copy edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't joined, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We are making great progress in our goal of clearing out the oldest articles (April, May, and June 2010) from the queue. There are 122 articles left in those categories, which compares very favorably with the 281 that were present at the close of the September drive. We have reduced the 2010 backlog by 184 articles so far. Coordinator elections: The term of our second tranche of coordinators will be running out at the end of the year, and we will be accepting nominations for new coordinators early in December. The election will likely run in the last two weeks of December. Please consider helping out by nominating yourself or someone else in the Guild as one of our coordinators. The commitment is for a six-month term. Thanks. Your drive coordinators – Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02 and SMasters |

GOCE in-use tag
Hi! I saw in the edit history that you're working on My Queen for the GOCE backlog-reduction drive, and wonder if you know about the {{GOCEinuse}} tag, which can help identify articles already receiving attention and minimize unintentional conflicts. Good luck with the article, and enjoy the rest of the drive! All the best,--Miniapolis (talk) 18:38, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
Happy Thanksgiving three!
I would like to give thanks for a very kind-hearted soul named Buster7. I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving. - Hydroxonium (T•C•V) 11:45, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
