GOCE drive newsletter

The Guild of Copy Editors – May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive The Guild of Copy Editors invite you to participate in the May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive began on May 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on May 31 at 23:59 (UTC). The goals of this backlog elimination drive are to eliminate as many articles as possible from the 2009 backlog and to reduce the overall backlog by 15%. ! NEW ! In an effort to encourage the final elimination of all 2009 articles, we will be tracking them on the leaderboard for this drive. Awards and barnstars A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants. Some are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page. We look forward to meeting you on the drive! Your GOCE coordinators: SMasters, Diannaa, Tea with toast, Chaosdruid, and Torchiest

Law of Nations

It is an indisputable fact that "Law of Nations" is referenced in the US Constitution. Since it is also an indisputable fact that the founders and Continental Congress used the Law of Nations as a reference, what is your evidence that the Law of Nations referenced in the Constitution, is not in fact the Law of Nations used by the writers of the Constitution?

Correct

My post clearly states the case. It is so painfully obvious this contributor is blocked User:Griot. He will be reported to the Wikimedia Support Team. 99.25.219.55 (talk) 05:51, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Anythingyouwant

I'm not sure if you saw this. Weazie just deleted it.

Did any of you notice what happened with Anythingyouwant above due to Weazie's deletions Anythingyouwant, had this to say, "I'm not going to bother arguing with you, or trying to satisfy you, because instead of modifying or rephrasing you prefer to completely delete material that is obviously relevant. Banging my head against the wall would be more useful.  :-) Cheers" Anythingyouwant, appears to have given up and been chased away due to Weazie's repeated deletions. The outright deletions of multiple contributors, without any consensus from them at all, was simply wrong. Sempi (talk) 06:03, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

How does Weazie get to delete everything, and then decide the discussion is closed? Are Johnuniq and Weazie one and the same? Sempi (talk) 06:09, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Template:uw-sanctions

Hi. Thanks for updating uw-sanctions for Ayn Rand. Can I suggest that the link to the remedies should be Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Ayn Rand#Additional sanctions, since it is remedy #13 (Additional sanctions) which is the equivalent of Discretionary sanctions. Remedy #13 is way down at the end and could easily be missed by the person you are leaving the notice for. Not a big deal either way. It seems that nobody has ever been 'notified' by an admin under that decision. If your uw-sanctions is ever used to give warnings under Ayn Rand it will be a new frontier. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:13, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Good point. Unfortunately, the "#Final decision" part of the link is hard-wired into the template itself. While I suppose the link in the "Decision linked to" column in the documentation part of the template's page could be changed to point to the "#Additional sanctions" section of the Ayn Rand case, that wouldn't have any effect on the link that someone receiving the warning would see. I believe, too, that a valid argument could (and would) be made that people need to be directed to the full decision in order for them to understand exactly why ArbCom had to get involved (and thus to provide context for the discretionary sanctions).
