Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2016

June Theme

The blitz theme will be:

• Articles needing copy-editing that are tagged as part of WikiProject India, Korea, Pakistan, Russia, or Soviet Union, limited to our three oldest months (catscan query link, 28 articles at this writing)
• Articles needing copy-editing that are tagged as part of WikiProject Video Games (catscan query link, 33 articles at this writing)

Having two diverse lists should give everyone something interesting to work on. Your fearless lead(er), – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:57, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Excellent choice, fearless and clever leader! Can we do the same with older C/E Requests, but on other topics. Perhaps Africa or South America, and a topic like Tabletop games or Law.

Dream League Soccer 16

Dream League Soccer 16 has been deleted from Wikipedia, and is no longer available to copyedit. Please remove it.--DThomsen8 (talk) 19:25, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

It was already gone from the page when you posted this request. Or maybe I'm getting in the video game groove and going back in time!!! to edit Wikipedia. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:19, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Word count question

Does the word count to state for each article refer to the word count before copyediting, or after? Thanks! Chickadee46 (talk) 19:13, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Use the word count from before you start copyediting.--Slon02 (talk) 20:02, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

I done goofed with that one! Next time, perhaps. BroVic (talk) 23:59, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Emily Wants to Play

This article has been prodded. Since it doesn't seem to meet WP:NGAME, I think a copyedit would be a waste of time and it should be removed from the list. Thoughts? All the best, Miniapolis 00:14, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

I marked it as "on hold". It doesn't look like anyone will come up with sources, but let's see what happens. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:48, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

That's probably the best solution, Jonesey; although anyone can remove a prod tag, it really does look non-notable and I'd hate to see an editor waste their time. All the best, Miniapolis 14:40, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Etiquette in South Korea

On my first reading of Etiquette in South Korea, I thought that it needed to be made less like an instruction manual, and that the references should be changed to the usual list form. However, at least two editors on the talk page felt (in 2015) that the article was almost ready for A-grade, so now I'm not sure. Are the references OK the way they are? Should I try to de-instruction manual the text? I did notice that the other etiquette articles are also rather instructional, so maybe this is normal. Any thoughts would be welcome, Leschnei (talk) 16:36, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

I mis-interpreted the editor's remarks. The article is C-class but the editor was apparently giving an A-grade to a specific author on the writing in the article. But my questions about the tone of etiquette articles and the references remain. I have not run across either of these issues in editing before. Leschnei (talk) 21:24, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

The references were broken, probably by Efeltkamp using copy and paste incorrectly, in the edits immediately following this version from March 8, 2016. Unfortunately, the problem was not detected until now, and subsequent edits have modified the prose quite a bit since then. Some possible choices at this point are either to roll back to that March 8 version and walk away (not good), roll back and then carefully re-implement the modified prose (better), or copy references from the March 8 version to the appropriate location in the current prose.

You should compare the March 8 version of the prose and linking with the current version. If the current version's prose is significantly improved, I would not roll it back. I would recommend taking the time to re-insert the references where they should go. A pain. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:11, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

OK, thanks, I'll give it a try. Leschnei (talk) 00:14, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Withdrawal

I started working on the FaZe Clan article, but don't understand what's going on there. It looks like it's semi-protected so I've withdrawn from it. I'm done for now. Thanks for the opportunity to serve. BroVic (talk) 13:55, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

I don't understand the problem, since you shouldn't be affected by the semi-protection (which primarily impacts unregistered editors). If you really don't want to continue the copyedit, please remove your acceptance on the article list. All the best, Miniapolis 22:49, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Okay. Will give it another go. Cheers! BroVic (talk) 23:56, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Kehta Hai Dil Jee Le Zara needs C/E

Kehta Hai Dil Jee Le Zara seems to be the only article not copyedited from the June 2016 blitz and not marked  Working today. Can someone please work on this too detailed plot of an India TV show?--DThomsen8 (talk) 23:38, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
