March GOCE copyedit drive edit

Notes from the Guild of Copy Editors
 

The March 2014 backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles in need of copyediting. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copyedit all articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and to complete all requests placed in January 2014. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copyedits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: number of articles, number of words, number of articles over 5,000 words, number of articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and the longest article. We hope to see you there!

I reversed your changes to Aztec, New Mexico, because of mistakes in the parameters. The following are examples. I also noticed that you changed other cities in New Mexico, so please correct those too. • SbmeirowTalk • 01:38, 8 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Which part of my edit is "NOT how you do it"? I'm assuming all of it since you reverted everything. So please let me know where I went wrong. Camerafiend (talk) 01:34, 8 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

see your talk section • SbmeirowTalk • 01:42, 8 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for offering an explanation. I still don't understand what the specific issue is. Was it listing the estimate in place of the census figure instead of including both? Camerafiend (talk) 01:46, 8 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
So... that is what the issue was? I assume it was not the lack of footnotes since your version doesn't have footnotes either. Camerafiend (talk) 01:56, 8 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure what you are looking at, but I see 4 references (2 + 2) in my example. • SbmeirowTalk • 02:01, 8 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
I'm not talking about the example you pasted here, I'm talking about the version of the article you reverted to, which has nothing filled in for population_footnotes. You seem unwilling to actually state what the problem is, so I'm just going to do my best to fix it and maybe this time you can let me know if you're still not happy instead of reverting the entire edit over what appears to be a formatting quibble. Camerafiend (talk) 02:17, 8 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
This is the direction that I'm moving towards in overhauling Kansas articles. A couple years ago, I did a first phase cleanup of 631 cities in Kansas including the 2000 to 2010 census overhaul. Recently, I started going through another cleanup phase for other stuff except census estimate update, which is going to take a while to complete. I updated some cities with 2013 census estimate, but I decided to put off the rest since its so much work to do, so I'm likely going to target an update for 2015 census estimate, then not touch again until 2020, except for some select cities. • SbmeirowTalk • 02:21, 8 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
Settle down, you've been replying faster than I've been able to respond, because multitasking with phone and other things. I assume there's enough info here for you, need to go. • SbmeirowTalk • 02:32, 8 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for December 9 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2014 Miami Hurricanes football team, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Independence Stadium. 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.

Drive: Thanks to everyone who participated in November's Backlog Elimination Drive. Of the 43 people who signed up for this drive, 26 copy edited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Progress report: The November Drive removed 26 requests from the Requests page and 509 articles from the {{copy edit}} backlog. We copy edited 83 articles tagged in the target months; July, August, and September 2013.

As of 01:01, 1 December 2014 (UTC), the backlog stood at 1,974 articles, dipping below 2,000 for the first time in the Guild's history (see graph at right). Well done everyone!

Blitz: The December Blitz will run from December 14–20 and will focus on articles related to Religion, in recognition of this month's religious holidays in much of the English-speaking world. Awards will be given out to everyone who copy edits at least one of the target articles. Sign up here!

Election time again: The election of coordinators to serve from 1 January to 30 June 2015 is now underway.
