Editor of the Week

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week for your determination and dedication to help the encyclopedia grow. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

Editor Worm That Turned submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week and Happysquirrel and John from Idegon seconded it:

I nominate Ukexpat to be Editor of the Week for helping out editors and non-editors alike. I know him for his hard work at WP:OTRS and the Teahouse, and although I haven't checked recently, I'm sure he's still helping people out on a regular basis. He's one of our most active editors with over 109k edits and just doesn't seem to get recognition for that fact. Almost 50% of his edits are to article space while most of the rest are used to help fellow collaborators.

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:

Request input on Anthrophony vs Anthropophony (a move you previously performed)

Hi. I moved Anthropophony to Anthrophony (because the latter is the term used in the actual sources cited). User:Diannaa reverted this because of the way I did it, and suggested I should contact you who originally made the opposite page move (last July, apparently in response to an OTRS request). The current conversation is on my talk page here - please could you comment, and/or move the page to its correct spelling "Anthrophony"? Thanks. mcld (talk) 19:19, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

June 2016 Guild of Copy Editors Newsletter

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.

To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
