Coordinator election edit
Hi, TT. Would you consider standing for one of the GOCE coordinators in the upcoming election? The job's not difficult, but editors sometimes come and go. Hope you'll consider it. Thanks for your help and all the best, Miniapolis 14:51, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Miniapolis: Thank you for considering me for nomination as a coordinator for the GOCE. Given you say the job is not difficult, and with the hope it does not require extensive computer programming skills, I would be happy to stand for the position if you would let me know how to proceed. Cheers, Twofingered Typist (talk) 14:54, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Glad to hear it, TT, and thanks; if the job required techie skills, I couldn't do it :-). Just go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2019/2, copy-paste the contents of the "Sample nomination" section in the "Nominations" section and tweak as needed. All the best, Miniapolis 15:18, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Election time: Nomination of candidates in our mid-year Election of Coordinators opened on 1 June, and voting will take place from 16 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. June Blitz: Our June blitz will soon be upon us; it will begin at 00:01 on 16 June (UTC) and will close at 23:59 on 22 June (UTC). The themes are "nature and the environment" and all requests. March Drive: Thanks to everyone for their work in March's Backlog Elimination Drive. We removed copyedit tags from 182 of the articles tagged in our original target months October and November 2018, and the month finished with 64 target articles remaining from November and 811 in the backlog.

Hi! Thanks for your incredible work at HoA. I have nominated the article for GAN but when another user reviewed the article, found out that needs more attention on copy/editing. [1] Could you please spare some time and have one last look at it? Many thanks, Cinadon36 14:25, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Cinadon36: I'll try to have a look at it although I can't help with content/meaning issues. Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:36, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
