Guild of Copy Editors September 2020 Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors September 2020 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2020.                  Current and upcoming events September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Election reminder: our end-of-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 December. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. Drive and Blitz reports June Blitz: An uncorrected typo (even copy editors make copy editing mistakes!) led to an eight-day "leap blitz" from 14 to 21 June, focusing on requests and articles tagged in May. 19 participating editors claimed 54 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Over 750,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event, keeping pace with the previous three self-isolated drives. Of the 38 people who signed up, 30 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 16 to 22 August, we copy edited articles tagged in June and July 2020 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 37 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Baffle gab1978, Tdslk, Twofingered Typist, and first-time coordinator Puddleglum2.0. Reidgreg took a break after serving for a couple years. Thanks to everyone who participated! Progress report: As of 01:33, 18 September 2020 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 532 requests since 1 January and there were 38 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). 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, Baffle gab1978, Puddleglum2.0, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Interracial marriage

Hey, I'm a little new to wiki, I pretty good with the coding/editing pages and making them look the way they should, but aside from that I'm kinda hopeless, while reading the Interracial marriage wiki page I found it very odd and suspected abuse editing from many different users who I now believe to be sockpuppeting, I'm not sure what to do, I've so far tried debating in the talk page and talking with (Vamlos), I saw you were an Abuse response Volunteer and thought you could help, I know its early but I can already tell his not going to response to my request on his talk page, and if he doesn't response, what should I do? How long should I wait? What should be my next step? Thank you in advance -- Toby Mitches (talk) 12:28, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Abuse Response

Hi, I'm contacting you because you were listed as a participant in WP:Abuse response and seem to have been recently active on Wikipedia. I'm trying to get more information on the successfulness and problems related to the process and hoping you can give me some insight. Some things I'm specifically curious about are:

• Are you aware of any attempts to contact anonymizing services such as VPN and proxy providers?
• How successful were attempts to contact...
  • ISPs
  • Non-ISP range owners such as schools and businesses
  • Anonymizing services
• Were you ever able to get an idea of the minimum amount of information and level of disruption needed for an organization to take a report seriously?
• In your opinion, what issues were there with the process?
• In your opinion, is there anything that could have been improved?

Feel free to include any additional information you'd like. PHANTOMTECH (talk) 20:56, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

10 years ago

In this diff of multiple edits at a current Signpost-related RFC I quoted your commenting at a Signpost arbcom report 10 years ago. In similar postings to this one at pages of some other commenters back then, I thanked them. To you, good sir, I do not. I am in fact just about shaking with rage. You treated me badly back then, I see that you are active to this day, and on my way to this Talk page I see that you regard your Arbitration report coverage to be what you are most proud of ... it is the only item in your summary about yourself on your user page: "Hi there, I'm James. I've been an active editor since June 2010. I was the writer of the Arbitration report for the Signpost from May 2012 to early 2013." What I feel now is pretty much: Oh. My. God. What. A. Jerk. You. Are. --01:00, 23 March 2023 (UTC) Doncram (talk,contribs) 01:00, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. natemup (talk) 03:10, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Signature

Please fix your signature to clean its output. See Wikipedia:Signatures:

• Keep signatures short, both in display and in markup.
• The timestamp must adhere to the system-generated format (HH:MM, D MM YYYY (UTC)) and must not be customized.

I noticed this at diff. I attempted to clean the output when replying but it looks like there is a bold tag that I missed. At any rate, this must be fixed. I suppose the UTC requirement is met but all that clutter has to go. Reply here or ask at WP:Teahouse if you want to discuss the issue. Johnuniq (talk) 05:33, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Happy Birthday!

Custom signature fix needed

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. Changes to Wikipedia's software have made your current custom signature invalid.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error or obsolete HTML tags.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, you can fix your signature, or you can do nothing.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (Do not click the red "Restore all default settings" button, which will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Click the Learn more button next to the error to learn how to fix the error.
3. Update your signature to fix the error.
4. Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Solution 3: Do nothing:

1. In accordance with a recent request for comment, all invalid signatures will be changed to the default, which looks like "Example (talk)", one month from now.

If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Vanessa Barrs

The article Vanessa Barrs has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
