Macintosh Classic Copyedit Request
Hello. I would like to request that you copyedit the Macintosh Classic article when you have the time. Thanks! — Wackymacs (talk ~ edits) 20:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'll work on it over the next 24 hours. When I'm done, I'll let you know. TheTito (Discuss) 23:18, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Can you help?
I see you were listed as a participant in the League of Copy-Editors so it seems likely you can ... The thing is the Military history wikiproject urgently needs prose pros to help with our best articles. Milhist covers a broad range of interesting and varied subjects from film to biography, battles to weaponry, and Roman emperors to twentieth-century dictators. In Milhist, A-Class has become the last port of call before FAC and we are looking for people to help identify prose and MoS issues at A-Class A-Class Reviews and help fix them prior to featured article candidacy. We also have a copy-editing section in our Logistics Dept and that can always use experienced copy-editors. For most of our articles, you don't need to be a specialist in the subject matter, just good with words.
If you think you can help, please do! Thanks for your time, --ROGER DAVIES talk 04:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Based on your participation in creating the 2008–09 Tennessee Volunteers men's basketball team, I thought you might be interested in creating an article for the 2008–09 SEC men's basketball season. The 2008–09 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season and 2008–09 Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball season articles have been going since before the conference tournaments and recently 2008–09 Big East Conference men's basketball season and 2008–09 Big 12 Conference men's basketball season have been created. I hope to encourage all the power conferences to create such articles this year or at least by next year. In fact, next year I hope to get all the mid majors in on the action too. I do the 2008–09 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team and the 2008–09 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season and am willing to respond to any queries.

Removal of PROD from The FanFic
Hello TheTito, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to The FanFic has been removed. It was removed by 65.33.45.97 with the following edit summary '(<ref>[Insert footnote text here]</ref>)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with 65.33.45.97 before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion. Thank you, SDPatrolBot (talk) 21:07, 20 July 2009 (UTC) (Learn how to opt out of these messages)
Rollback
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton | Talk 14:23, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
PROD of Daria derin
Why did you PROD this? It clearly meets criteria for speedy deletion and it is an obvious hoax when it is stated that this girl has some kind of Jonas brothers obsession disease, even though there is no such thing. Could you explain your stance to me? Eagles 24/7 (C) 06:27, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
- How I nominate articles for deletion is an extension of my assumption of good faith. I agree, a few of the phrases were plump for some removal and I considered a speedy. But, the article also claimed that the subject was notable for her singing prowess and that she was known for that ability. I then acted based on the fact that this was the most credible claim to notoriety. After beseeching the Oracle, I could find zero sources to back up the claim. (When it comes to singers, it could easily appear on 27 things TheTito knows darn near nothing about.) In my eyes the article had a realistic indication of importance but that it should not have been kept in the system without sources. Thus, I added the PROD template to give the author time to fix the article. There is precedent where I remove the more outrageous claims before tagging—I was either forgetful or lazy that night/morning. I would rather PROD than CSD where there is even some degree of doubt. TheTito Discuss 11:15, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for clearing that up, and I agree with you after I read the article carefully. Eagles 24/7 (C) 15:39, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
I have nominated an article you have edited for deletion. You are welcome to comment in the discussion. LadyofShalott 21:23, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Linking
But if its an article about linking shouldn't it have links in it? I was going to make the whole think all linked but it took too much time so I only did the first paragraph. I figgerd that would give enough examples for people to understand the consept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.66.14.94 (talk) 08:22, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
- The article does have links in it, nine in the intro alone. I disagree that every word requires a link—most editors and the manual of style would disagree, too. For use as an example, I would agree that the article needs one. However, it already has it in the first full section: Hyperlinking#External link. As for linking every word, that should be avoided as stated at Wikipedia:Linking#What generally should not be linked. Only topical, germane subjects should be linked. TheTito Discuss 10:41, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Bellend
Thanks for your note - saved me looking it up! though the article could have gone under A7 anyway. Cheers, JohnCD (talk) 11:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- No problem. I thought about A7 but I figured it was safest to go with G10 so I could go ahead and blank it, just to be on the safe side. TheTito Discuss 21:41, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up
| Thanks very much to all who helped with the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive. We were very close to meeting our target of 7,500 articles remaining in the backlog. Our most shining success is the incredible reduction in the backlog of Special Requests. That part of the project saw a drop from 62 articles in the queue, some dating back to February of 2009, down to a stunning THREE, all of which were being edited at the close of the drive. The Special Requests page will now be a great resource for people looking to tidy up their article in advance of a GA or FA nomination, instead of a place where articles go to die.
Moving forward The drive has not only forced a great leap forward in reducing the backlog. It has helped promote the Guild, and led to a greater awareness of the level of vigilance required to keep the backlog manageable. Ideas such as charts, graphs, and barnstars helped motivate editors, and meeting other users helped quell any feelings gnomish editors may have had in the past that they were toiling all alone. Keep up the good work people!! Stats

Grab some glory, and a barnstar
Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 15:38, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for signing up for the July Backlog Elimination Drive! The copyedit backlog stretches back two and a half years, all the way back to the beginning of 2008! We're really going to need all the help we can muster to get it down to a manageable number. We've ambitiously set a goal of clearing all of 2008 from the backlog this month. In order to do that, we're going to need more participants. Is there anyone that you can invite or ask to participate with you? If so, we're offering an award to the person who brings in the most referrals. Just notify ɳorɑfʈ Talk! or Diannaa TALK of who your referrals are. Once again, thanks for your support!

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:00, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Chevez Ezaneh
Hi, you've just slapped a refimproveBLP on this article (Chevez Ezaneh), but I don't understand what information you'd like referenced. The two lines of bio come from Wiki links. This is a stub: it already seeks improvement. What is the value of the refimproveBLP? Thanks -- Ihutchesson (talk) 11:36, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- I did not place it because there is some spurious claim that I am challenging. I did it because I felt that it needed more references. As listed, it only has one and that is IMDB, a sometimes reliable source (there is a discussion here about its reliability if you're interested in such things). I put this tag on in lieu of the notability tag. From my glancing at his roles on IMDB, he has one or two large roles and then a handful of one-time roles in different series (including his single award). Thus, he may or may not meet notability for entertainers. As a borderline candidate (in my eyes), I put the refimproveBLP tag on over other tags or taking it to AFD. If he is notable per the general notability guidelines, then there should be other sources out there besides IMDB that talks about him and I would love those sources to end up in the article if they do exist.
- If you disagree or think that my logic is mistaken, feel free to change or remove the tag and I will take no offense. I am not married to any tags that I place on most pages. I just came across this on my patrol. TheTito Discuss 05:51, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. I merely worked from the fact that the young actor was mentioned in four different Wiki articles, one of which had a dangling link for him, which I took for an invitation. I can't really comment on the notability aspect. I just thought the refimproveBLP was overkill for a stub which asks for improvement anyway. -- Ihutchesson (talk) 13:46, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

 Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have now passed the halfway point, so here's an update. Progress Report - Progress toward the targets has been good. 751 articles out of the approximately 1,600 we would like to get completed by the end of the month were done by July 15, so we will be very close to meeting the target for volume. However, we would like to clear all of the 2008 articles from the backlog, and there are still 892 left to do. Please consider choosing one of these older articles when looking for something to copy edit. If we focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Participation Report - 95 people signed up for the July drive. This is a great result compared to May, when we had 36. However, in May only one person that signed up didn't do any copy edits, and in July only 59 of the 95 have posted any copy edits on the big board. The task may seem insurmountable but please remember that if all 95 participants copy edit just one article a day from now until the end of the month, we will eliminate 1,300 more articles from the backlog. So please consider participating at whatever level you can! All contributions are appreciated. This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa (Talk), S Masters (talk), and The Raptor Let's talk. |
Re: I would like your opinion
Re your message: I deleted both Subash Sinchuari and Santosh Ramdam under CSD A7. None of them make any notability claims. The early revision of Subash Sinchuar was actually a duplicate of Santosh Ramdam. Additionally, I proposed for deletion the two duplicate articles, Jhupadi ko jindagi and Jhupadi ko jindagin, made by the editor on the film that these two (maybe just one?) people were involved with. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:20, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you placed notability and primary sources sources tags on the three teams wikis. I kept the primary sources tag but removed the notablity ones. Unfortuneatly these are considered notable. However given the track record of the league's owner and his 5 previous failed semi-pro leagues and the similar direction this one seems to be going. I wouldnt be opposed to tagging them and the league wiki and/or proposing deletion if/when the league fails (prob in a few months). Bhockey10 (talk) 23:36, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up
| Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!

Hi, I fixed your edit of this article. It seems improper to use {{convert}} in circumstances when you aren't dealing with a fixed temperature but instead a rate of temperature change, as it will (as it did in the article) treat it wrongly. In the article's case it marked an increase of 20 fahrenheit as -7 celcius which would be fine, except for the fact this was a temperature increase and the increase was by 11.1 celcius.
So you may wish to examine other instances in which you used this to ensure that they are correct for the circumstances they're being used in. AJ Kirwin (talk) 20:35, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
 Participation report — We have 71 participants in the September drive. 95 people signed up for the July drive, and in May we had 36. Progress report — We have been making solid progress in eliminating the 2008 articles from the backlog so far. If we continue to focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Overall volumes are lower than expected though, with nearly a thousand articles yet to be done if we are to meet our overall target. If you have not yet participated in the drive, we recommend you do so. If each person who signed up edits one article per day from now till the end of the month we can eliminate another 1,065 articles from the backlog. All contributions are appreciated. Announcement: credit for 10k+ articles — Participants editing a 10k word article may claim credit for two 5k+ articles on the leaderboard. Those that edit a 15k word article may claim credit for three. Regardless, the article is still counted as a single article in the tallies. Reminder — Articles from the Requests page can be included in your tally, even if they do not have a copy edit tag. This is a great place to go if you are interested in finding a higher quality article to work on.

November copy edit drive
| Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
The Wikipedia Guild of Copy-Editors invites you to participate in the November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue. Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page. Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Awards and barnstars A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants, some of which are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page. Thank you; we look forward to meeting you on the drive! |
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

GOCE Drive – Final push
Greetings GOCE Backlog elimination drive participant, We are now coming up to the last few days of the drive, the last for 2010. Currently, it looks like we will achieve our target for reducing the backlog by 10%, however, we still have huge numbers for 2009. We have 55 participants in this drive. If everyone just clears 2 articles each, we will reduce the backlog by a further 110 articles. If everyone can just do 3 articles, we will hit 165. If you have yet to work on any articles and have rollover words, remember that you do need to copyedit at least a couple of articles in this drive for your previous rollover to be valid for the next drive. There are many very small articles that will take less than 5-10 minutes to copyedit. Use CatScan to find them. Let's all concentrate our firepower on the first three months of 2009 as we approach the end of this final drive for the year. Thank you once again for participating, and see you at the finish line! – SMasters (talk) 04:00, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

| Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
We have reached the end of our fourth backlog elimination drive. Thanks to all who participated. Stats
Barnstars If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the September 2010 backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found here). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering these barnstars within the next couple of weeks. Our next drive is scheduled for January 2011. In the meantime, please consider helping out at the Wikification drive or any of the other places where help with backlogs is needed. Thank you for participating in the last 2010 backlog elimination drive! We look forward to seeing you in January!

GOCE drive news
| Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! The drive is halfway over, so here are some mid-drive stats. 
 So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can sign up now.
We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal. Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success! Your drive coordinators –S Masters (talk), Diannaa (Talk), The UtahraptorTalk to me, and Tea with toast (Talk) |
