Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive update
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter. Participation: We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far. Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

You reverted my edit as "unconstructive". Can you confirm that you are happy with the contents of Lookout_Mountain#Seven_states? The claim that the 7 states claim has not been proved scientifically can be referenced at [2], and the sign distance errors can easily be verified using Google Earth. Why is it unconstructive to point them out? Viewfinder (talk) 21:59, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Ratzd'mishukribo. GenQuest, thanks for creating John Wesley Hardin in popular culture!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Might do as a section of John Wesley Hardin, but not as a separate article.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
I notice that you claim to have filed an AfD for this article. However, no such request has been filed, according to the AfD log. You may want to try that again - at the moment there's just a PROD. Since, if a PROD template is deleted by anyone for any reason (or no reason), it should not be replaced, I suspect that's not what you intended? Anaxial (talk) 18:04, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Cypriot intercommunal violence a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Hi; just to note that Tache is a redirect to Tache-with-an-accent; and that Tache (Indian reserve) may have an official IR name, I'll look that up shortly. unaccented Tache would seem to need to be a secondary dab page because of the accent on the other one; the alternative name Tachie gives an indication of how it's pronounced in Carrie/Dakelh and in local English; I think that's probably an "sh" sound rather than "tsh"....please reply my talkpage, if at all.Skookum1 (talk) 10:36, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi GenQuest, I note that you placed a (c/e tagged) designation at Nantucket. I've not seen this tag before, although I find many articles have copy editing issues. Is this tag simply an exhortation for other editors to improve the copy of the article or is there a cadre of experienced copy editors for whom this is a digital marker for them to find and work on? I'll look for your reply, here. Sincerely, User:HopsonRoad 23:16, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Hey GenQuest; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:10, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi GenQuest. Per this, Bloody Christmas (1963) should be merged. But the article is still there. Could you please clarify its status? Thank you. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 19:05, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you have twice now changed the link in the hatnote from Andrew Johnson (disambiguation)toAndrew Johnson (soldier). If this is intentional and you think it would help the reader, could you leave an explanation at Talk:Andrew Johnson and we can have a discussion? If you don't want to, then please leave it alone as I don't see the benefit. Thanks.--Wehwalt (talk) 02:54, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Please enlighten me. The quotation of the text on page 44 of the reference uses the word killing, not killin', so it seemed to me to be a misquote. Is there another source that uses killin' that causes this to be a "sic"? – PAINEELLSWORTH CLIMAX! 16:59, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for taking the time to archive Talk:Googie architecture. I noticed that you archived a section, "Can We Get Some Input On Pronunciation?", that is a continuing discussion (albeit a slow one - my recent comment is the first in years). Would you mind restoring that section? I'm not altogether familiar with the archival process and don't want to mess it up by trying to do it myself. Ibadibam (talk) 00:01, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I really appreciate your managing of Wikipedia:Proposed mergers. Please use the correct syntax for the various merge templates. Don't enclose pages in brackets, the template links them automatically. Also, separate each parameter with a pipe (|) character – e.g., see this diff[7]. Thanks, Wbm1058 (talk) 03:10, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello GenQuest, would you please clarify the reason for merging the article? 23x2 and Dr.K. are the only people who wish to merge the article, but where is the consensus? How did you decide to merge the article at all? Please clarify how you came up with the idea that this was a POV Fork? Don't you think there were enough references by both sides? And where is the consensus at all? There is no information "proposed mergers" page. Only proposition by 23x2 and than the acceptance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Proposed_mergers In February 2013. And if we really talk about a merge; why did the whole article disappear? Only one Greek POV sentence is there describing this military campaign which is the main source of the violence in the island.. I loose my interest and trust in WP experiencing that such works disappear with the help of some patriot users.. Greetings from Germany, Sbasturk (talk) 22:31, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
