GOCE March drive wrap-up

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.

Your drive coordinators – Dianna ^(Talk), Stfg (Talk), and Dank (talk)

Disambiguation link notification for April 11

Hi. When you recently edited The National (band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jesse Smith (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

April 2012

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Elen of the Roads (talk) 11:45, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Yaratam

Deed89, I have email enabled and you are not blocked from using it. Would you email me with details of all the IPs you are likely to have used in the last 90 days and I can take a further look - I'd rather do it offwiki as I may end up asking for personal information. Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:15, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You've also performed "clean ups" of three articles created by Adotrde and participated in the same AFD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ABCs of attraction. It seems odd that two editors with similar IP usage and geolocation in that region of the world would be hitting those articles together. I would hope some plausible explanation for that would be covered in private discussions. Kuru (talk) 03:51, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've "cleaned up" many other articles, as well. Adotrde's articles happened to be listed for deletion at the same time I was in AfD. It was my fault that I tried to help, I suppose? Or can we assume good faith? Elen, I will email you now. Thank you for taking the time to look into this. ~dee^(talk?) 06:27, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, Elen, I have no idea how to email you! :o Can you help? ~dee^(talk?) 06:29, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Use Special:EmailUser/Elen of the Roads, or go to her user page and use the email link in the sidebar. An optimist on the run! 06:48, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for your help, Optimist. I have sent you an email as requested, Elen. ~dee^(talk?) 07:17, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback; the other two articles I had in mind were Archepsychologist and J.D. Masterson. I'm not sure I'm seeing an AFD there; could certainly be missing something. Kuru (talk) 12:06, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kuru. I don't remember how I got to editing J.D. Masterson, although I am sure I edited Archepsychologist through it (or the other way round?). Though if I remember correctly, I definitely saw Adotrde a couple of times on Courcelles' talk page (I have it watchlisted) and remember looking at ABCs of attraction and adding a poker company article he/she had started to my list of things to check because it hardly seemed worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia...so I could have checked their contributions later on as they frequently edited that article. I'm sorry, it was months ago, and I could have been doing anything else. I have been an on/off editor for nearly two years, and have always tried to ensure that my contributions are improving the encyclopedia. I've made some mistakes in CSD tags when I try my hand in new page patrol, but beyond that I have never intentionally or unintentionally (as far as I am aware) hurt wikipedia in any way. ~dee^(talk?) 12:48, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded by email. Technically it's not looking good, but will await your further reply. Elen of the Roads (talk) 18:37, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Deed89 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I have no idea who user Yaratam is. Can you please make sure this block was not done in error? If you check all my contributions, you will see that I have never done anything to warrant a block. I have used/do use a shared proxy because I move between Turkey and North of Cyprus (where I work) and there are many websites I cannot access through my regular IP. Thanks. I'm rather upset really. I just checked the investigation and I have been connected to Adotrde... I don't understand what I have done wrong? So now I am never allowed to edit Wikipedia...? I would like to know what I've done wrong.

Decline reason:

On the weight of evidence (including a review by another CU as well a the info here, I have to conclude that you created Adotrde as a sock. Adotrde's editing is problematic as it involves phony references, and you and he both !voted in at least one AfD. However, I don't believe this is so problematic as to block you forever from the project. I am therefore reducing the block to three months, after which time you will be welcome to return to editing, provided no further socks turn up. Elen of the Roads (talk) 14:08, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

GOCE May mid-drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors May 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter

Participation: Out of 49 people signed up for this drive so far, 26 have copy-edited at least one article. It's a smaller group than last drive, but we're making good progress. If you've signed up but haven't 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: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive, largely due to the efforts of Lfstevens and the others on the leaderboard. Thanks to all. We have reduced our target group of articles—January, February, and March 2011—by over half, and it looks like we will achieve that goal. Good progress is being made on the overall backlog as well, with over 500 articles copy-edited during the drive so far. The total backlog currently sits at around 3200 articles.

Hall of Fame: GOCE coordinator Diannaa was awarded a spot in the GOCE Hall of Fame this month! She has copy-edited over 1567 articles during these drives, and surpassed the 1,000,000-word mark on May 5. On to the second million! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg
