Help needed with amending page display title.

	Help needed with amending page display title.
	Hi Mabuska I was wondering if you, as a senior wikipedia administrator, could sort out a problem for me. I wish to amend the page display title "Ederny" to "Ederney". The article on wikipedia is primarily about the village of Ederney and not about Ederny which is a townland. Your help would be much appreciated. Ukireland (talk) 23:06, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I notice the previous 2013 disagreement between yourself and Asarlai about your original redirecting of Ederny to Ederney before Asarlai moved it back under the assumption that Ederny was the official spelling. Asarlai's view however is incorrect as according to [1] the village has officially been called Ederney instead of Ederny since 1992. Thus the page redirection should have stood, though there was little original discussion it would seem to discuss the move where this could of been found out.

As the namespace Ederney already exists it will need a page move request, which I will instigate for you now. Mabuska ^(talk) 12:09, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

I have pinged you at the discussion, however here is a link just in case. Mabuska ^(talk) 12:41, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

The discussion was moved to the Talk:Ederny page. Mabuska ^(talk) 14:57, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors February 2017 News

Guild of Copy Editors February 2017 News Hello everyone, and welcome to the February 2017 GOCE newsletter. The Guild has been busy since the last time your coordinators sent out a newsletter! >>> Sign up for the March Drive! <<< December blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 December; the themes were Requests and eliminating the November 2015 backlog. Of the 14 editors who signed up, nine editors completed 29 articles. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all who took part. January drive: The January drive was a great success. We set out to remove December 2015 and January and February 2016 from our backlog (195 articles), and by 22 January we had cleared those and had to add a third month (March 2016). At the end of the month we had almost cleared out that last month as well, for a total of 180 old articles removed from the backlog! We reduced our overall backlog by 337 articles, to a low of 1,465 articles, our second-lowest month-end total ever. We also handled all of the remaining requests from December 2016. Officially, 19 editors recorded 337 copy edits (over 679,000 words). February blitz: The one-week February blitz, focusing on the remaining March 2016 backlog and January 2017 requests, ran from 12 to 18 February. Seven editors reduced the total in those two backlog segments from 32 to 10 articles, leaving us in good shape going in to the March drive. Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: In December, coordinators for the first half of 2017 were elected. Jonesey95 stepped aside as lead coordinator, remaining as coordinator and allowing Miniapolis to be the lead, and Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators. Thanks to all who participated! Speaking of coordinators, congratulations to Jonesey95 on their well-deserved induction into the Guild of Copy Editors Hall of Fame. The plaque reads: "For dedicated service as lead coordinator (2014, 1 July – 31 December 2015 and all of 2016) and coordinator (1 January – 30 June 2015 and 1 January – 30 June 2017); exceptional template-creation work (considerably streamlining project administration), and their emphasis on keeping the GOCE a drama-free zone." Housekeeping note: We do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your watchlist. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Miniapolis, Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdslk. >>> Sign up for the March Drive! <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
