Hey Backtable.

Thanks for notifying me of that stuff on my talk page. (I replied there.) Anyways, just letting you know that I just set up an email contact for my Wikipedia account, so you can use that if you ever want/need to in the future. Thanks for reminding me that I needed to do that, I've been meaning to. Sergecross73 msg me 18:31, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

GOCE mid-drive newsletter

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

  • Participation: Out of 37 people signed up for this drive so far, 19 have copy-edited at least one article, about the same as the last drive. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us!
  • Progress report: We're almost on track to meet our targets for the drive. Great work, guys. We have reduced our target group of articles—August, September, and October 2011—by about 44%, and the overall backlog has been reduced by 58 articles so far, to around 2600 articles. The biggest difference between this drive and the previous one is a stronger focus on large articles, so total word counts are still comparable.
  • Don't forget about the Copy Edit of the Month contests! Voting for the August contest has been extended through the end of the month. You don't have to make a submission to vote!

STOP!!! Can you please stop changing the genre of 10'000 days!!? The record IS CLEARLY is more progressive than alternative, there's barely anything alternative in most of the songs. So please just stop! I'm sorry but you're really getting on my nerves. So please...STOP!!! Just because you are a self-proclaimed "music fanatic" doesn't make you the genre Czar of wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Treeoflife23 (talkcontribs) 23:38, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

GOCE September 2012 drive wrap-up

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up
 

Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September.

Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote.

Frank Default

Hey, thanks for making adjustments to the page! I had to create an article or add to stub for a class I'm taking and I noticed that he didn't have an article. It was perfect. Thanks, again! Cheers! Also not sure if this is the proper way to use talk, but let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BleakEyes (talkcontribs) 00:20, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Celebration (Uriah Heep album), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Demons and Wizards (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.

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

  • Participation: Out of 31 people signed up for this drive so far, 22 have copy-edited at least one article. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, 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. We have reduced our target group of articles—November and December 2011—by over 50%, and 34 of the the 56 requests made in September and October this year have already been fulfilled. However, the rate of tagging for copy edit has increased, and this month we are just keeping the size of the backlog stable. So, all you copy editors, please do come along and help us!
  • The September 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest was won by Baffle gab1978 for his copy edit of Expulsion of the Acadians. Runner up was Gareth Griffith-Jones for his edit of I Could Fall in Love. Congratulations to both.
  • The October 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the discussion and voting stage until midnight November 30 (UTC). You don't have to make a submission to vote!
  • November 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the submissions stage until midnight November 30 (UTC), when discussion and voting begin.
  • Seasonal oversight: We had a slight fall from grace in the title of our last newletter, which mentioned the season in the northern hemisphere and thus got it wrong for the southern. Fortunately an observant GOCE member was ready to spring into action to advise us. Thanks! In future we'll stay meteorologically neutral.

FYI

See Wikipedia:Rouge admin. Anomie 11:43, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

I was not previously aware of the phrase "rouge admin", before my edits to X!'s user page. I was wondering if that was a typo and truly meant "rogue admin". So thanks for helping me be enlightened about that phrase. Happy editing. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 23:11, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
