June 2016 Guild of Copy Editors Newsletter

[edit]
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.

My sincere thank you

[edit]

for copyediting "my" article. I appreciate it a lot. Triplecaña (talk) 14:11, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to help. Good luck and all the best, Miniapolis 17:02, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

GOCE Coordinator?

[edit]

The coordinator nomination period is almost done, and I don't see your name in the list of nominated folks. What do you feel like doing? It would be great to have you for continuity, but if you feel like taking a break, I understand. If you would still be willing to work at the Requests page and chip in here and there, I think we can manage for a while. Your call. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:47, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, Jonesey. I deliberately didn't nominate myself because there are (thankfully) two other nominees for coordinator and I said I'd stand "if needed". I'm not going anywhere, and plan to maintain my current level of activity with the Guild (I'm helping to prepare Jane Austen for another FAC, which has temporarily kept me away from those Asian blitz articles). I don't mind continuing to cruise through the requests page once a day and although the daily drive and blitz updates can be a PITA, I can help ease Tdslk and Corinne into that as well (if their timezones are convenient). New leadership can be good for the project. All the best, Miniapolis 17:03, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds lovely. Enjoy your time with Jane. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:48, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jane Austen edits

[edit]

That was really a nice set of edits which you did at Jane Austen. It was a long article and it was nice to see your patience with the article. You are now listed by the bot there as one of the top ten editors and perhaps you might visit that page again with the editors there supportive of your nice efforts. Cheers. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 16:44, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind words. I edit articles section by section to minimize edit conflicts so the more sections, the more edits. Good luck with FA and all the best, Miniapolis 16:54, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

A request

[edit]

Hi again Miniapolis—I keep thinking of you again as I've worked with plenty of people both on Wikipedia and off, however your eye for mistakes is far better than I've seen elsewhere. I mention this as right now I'm involved in writing a few more articles as a volunteer, however Interactive Brokers hired me again to expand their article. I'm used to COI editing and its best practices which I'm strictly following, and I've completed the prose for the draft, located here. I really want this to be well regarded by Wikipedia and the company alike, and may try to make it the first FA for a financial company. I'd really love your input or critique. Thank you.

Yours, ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 14:17, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm busy with a couple of things right now, but will take a look ASAP. All the best, Miniapolis 14:36, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Understandable, thank you! ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 15:38, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I was wondering if you have had a chance to look at this yet? Very glad for your help. Kind regards, ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 21:49, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for forgetting; I've been busy IRL as well. When I finish my current copyedit, I'll take a look at it. All the best, Miniapolis 22:57, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
