Triple Crown Nominations

I don't have much time to give but I am willing to help out here if you are desperate. I currently have a nomination in the queue but I don't see why that should be an issue, providing I don't check it myself of course. I am watching your talk page so if you want a hand let me know and we can discuss what's expected of me. Have you thought of running the page like at DYK, whereby a nominator must check an existing nomination first? Regards--Ykraps (talk) 10:50, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks so much for offering to chip in. Yes, please go ahead. Your suggestion of the nominator checking is a brilliant idea! I will try to implement that soon. I think that's one way of keeping this going as it is really very time consuming to do the checks. - SMasters (talk) 07:51, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

I have checked the nominations of Thine Antique Pen and GregJackP. What is the next step in the process?--Ykraps (talk) 08:37, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

If all entries are eligible, then please proceed to hand out the awards. Thanks for all your help! - SMasters (talk) 05:23, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

GOCE November drive wrap-up

Guild of Copy Editors November 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up

Participation: Thanks to all who participated! Out of 38 people who signed up this drive, 33 copy-edited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. All the barnstars have now been distributed.

Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing November and December 2011 from the backlog. For the first time since the drives began, the backlog consists only of articles tagged in the current year. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2690 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 56 requests outstanding before November 2012 as well as eight of those made in November.

Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the October 2012 competition, and prizes have been issued. The November 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The December 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote.

Coodinator election: The six-month term for our fourth tranche of Guild coordinators will expire at the end of December. Nominations are open for the fifth tranche of coordinators, who will serve from 1 January to 30 June 2013. For complete information, please have a look at the election page.

– Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

End of Year Events from the Guild of Copy Editors

The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in its events:

  • The December 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is currently in the submissions stage. Submit your best December copy edit there before the end of the month. Submissions end, and discussion and voting begin, on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC).
  • Voting is in progress for the November 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest. Everyone is welcome to vote, whether they have entered the contest or not.
  • From Sunday 16 December to Saturday 22 December, we are holding a Project Blitz, in which we will copy edit articles tagged with {{copyedit}} from January 2012. The blitz works much like our bimonthly drives, but a bit simpler. Everyone is welcome to take part, and barnstars will be awarded.
  • January 2013 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in January, February, and March 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2012. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in January, February, and March 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

Coodinator election: Nominations are open for candidates to serve as GOCE coordinators from 1 January to 30 June 2013. Nominations close on December 15 at 23:59 UTC, after which voting will run until the end of December. For complete information, please have a look at the election page.

Happy Festivus

Happy Festivus!
Here's wishing you a happy Festivus!
May you emerge victorious from the Feats of Strength,
may your list of Grievances be short,
and may your days be filled with Festivus Miracles.

Valiant return triple crown nomination

GregJackP (talk · contribs · logs · block log)

I was blocked on 11 Oct 2010 (here), with ArbCom review required, and then topic banned (Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Climate change#GregJackP topic-banned) on 14 Nov 2010. The block was lifted on 19 Mar 2012, with restrictions on not being involved in the Climate Change or New Religious Movement areas. Although not relevant to the return, those restrictions were lifted on 24 Sept 2012 by ArbCom.

DYK since return was achieved here by Salazar v. Ramah Navajo Chapter on 26 Dec 2012.

GA since return was achieved here by Bryan v. Itasca County on 16 Dec 2012.

FA since return was achieved here by Ex Parte Crow Dog on 11 Sept 2012.
