September 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive Conclusion

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors September 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated! Several of our top editors were called away to real life concerns during the month (be careful out there, people!). This meant that once again, we did not meet all our lofty targets, but we did come close.

Stats

Out of 76 registered editors, 45 actively participated.
We nearly wiped out the 2008 articles from the backlog—there were only 13 remaining when the drive closed.
We reduced the backlog by 725 articles (11.5%), so it was another successful drive.
A total of 59 barnstars will be awarded to 40 editors—well done, and congratulations to all.

Barnstars
If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you edited in the July 2010 GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive, you may have earned rollover words, which counted towards this month's barnstars (except for the leaderboard awards). Any unused word credits will be held over for the next drive, as long as you participated in the September drive. Over the course of the next week or two, we will be handing out the barnstars. Click here to see a list of barnstar winners.

We will be holding our next drive in November. You can sign up here.

A huge "thank you" to all editors who helped clear the backlog and to others who helped out behind-the-scenes. See you at the next drive, and until then, please continue to help us work through the backlog. Happy editing!

An update from adopt a user

Hi there Joe Gazz84/Archive/2010! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.

On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.

Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.

Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

Hi Joe!. Regarding your note on the request for permissions, yes I think bureaucrat flag is necessary for testing for a short period of time (let's say... a week)? Then I myself will request removal of these rights. Will require the sysop tools for a longer time though. Either way, thanks!Diego Grez (talk) 03:50, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry to bother you so much but can you tell me specifically what needs to be done as a bureaucrat? It is just that Bureaucrat rights are more than admin rights.

Of course I know bureaucrat rights are much more than Admin rights. I need it to test the addition and removal of some rights, that's all. Diego Grez (talk) 00:15, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay, approved. Please request removal no later than October 18th. Thank you. JoeGazz ▲ 00:41, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Me done. Please remove the bureaucrat rights, will still test the sysop ones on the bot. Thanks. --Diego Grez (talk) 18:10, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

ArticleAlertingBot editing outside of BRFA

Per: Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/ArticleAlertingBot

This edit doesn't make any sense at all. Please can you make sure your bot isn't malfunctioning, and let me know what happened?

(Note: if it keeps making edits like this seemingly outside the BRFA, most people will assume it's a malfunctioning bot and simply block it.)

Thanks

[stwalkerster|talk] 00:02, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

It was me by mistake, I thought I was logged into my account and in turn I was logged into the bot account. Not a malfunction, thanks for noticing though! JoeGazz ▲ 00:41, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
