Hello, Another Believer – Happy New Year! Because this article was quite well written as it was, I only made a few changes. Out of respect for your wording choices, I refrained from re-wording a few sentences that would constitute only slight stylistic changes. I thought I'd mention them here and see what you thought. 1) In the first paragraph in Royal Naval Division War Memorial#Design is the following sentence:
I thought, in reality, the relief carvings are not only at the base of the obelisk but on the base. I thought it would be nice to avoid the parenthetical phrase in the middle, "on all four sides". The sentence might read more smoothly as follows:
or:
I kind of like the second option. What do you think? 2) Later in the Design section you provide Rupert Brooke's poem. It seemed to me that the lines of the poem were unnecessarily far apart from each other, that is, had too much space between them. Is there any reason they need to be spaced so far apart? 3) Twice, once in the second paragraph in the lead, and once in the first paragraph in Royal Naval Division War Memorial#Background, you begin a sentence with "As well as...". I don't recall ever seeing this type of construction, with the "as well as" at the beginning of a sentence. I wonder if that is more a British English construction than American English. Of course, because of the topic, the article is, and should be, written using British English. I just wanted to point it out. I suppose it is all right, but I would use "In addition to" for the first one and "In addition to" or "Besides" for the second one. But if you're happy with the way these sentences read, then by all means leave them as they are. 4) The first two sentences of the Royal Naval Division War Memorial#Design section are:
These are fine as they are. If you want them to flow a little more smoothly, you might consider joining them as follows:
or:
I kind of prefer the second option. But it's really up to you. 5) In the first paragraph in the lead is the following sentence:
I don't know British English usage with regard to geography, but to my American ears, "in the south coast" sounds odd. We would always say "on the south coast", or "in the south". I notice that in the Royal Naval Division War Memorial#Commissioning section, you have "across the south coast":
Would you consider changing the sentence in the lead to one of these? –
6) Near the beginning of the first paragraph in the lead is the following sentence:
(You will have seen by now that I moved the adverbial phrase to the beginning of the sentence.) I was trying to figure out a way to avoid "former members formed a committee", with "former" and "formed" in such close proximity. I also thought some readers might be puzzled by the word "members", associating "members" more with an association than a military division. But if we add "of the division" after "former members" (which would, at one and the same time, clarify "members" and put more distance between "former" and "formed"), then we probably should not repeat "division". However, if we change "one of the division's leading officers" to "one of its leading officers", we create ambiguity because "its" could refer to both "division" and "committee". I even tried passive voice ("a committee was formed"), but that didn't sound right, either. So, I left it as it was. Do you have any ideas? Perhaps we could ask Iridescent for his thoughts. Well, that's all. You don't really have to make any further changes. These are just slight stylistic options. Best regards, – Corinne ( talk) 00:45, 8 January 2018 (UTC) |

Hello, Another Believer. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Mindful (song) at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 20:41, 8 January 2018 (UTC) |
Before creating redirects, please check to make sure there is not a song of the same name on Wikipedia named at a disamibiguation page (some of the Justin Timberlake redirects you made recently, like Young Man (song)) or with its own page already, such as All These Years. Other editors have asked me to do this, and I don't know how after years of creating redirects, you haven't been asked to do so either. Adding "(song)" onto the end of a title doesn't differentiate the new song from an older song that already has an article. It could be another way an editor would be thinking to look for the original song. If another song of the same name comes about, we can pretty much only differentiate that new song with a redirect including the artist's name in the title to disambiguate it, hence All These Years (Camila Cabello song). There is no confusion when we add the artist's full name to the title; there is confusion as to which song you mean when you just add "(song)". Thank you. Ss 112 08:45, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Another Believer,
Hope you are doing well! Thank you for using our tool, and giving us feedback for improvement. We've made some improvements, and are preparing to send another round of recommendations for your project. But before that, we are considering two possible factors to implement into our algorithms potentially, and wonder what's your opinion on them.
1. Small project promotion. An editor who has a wide range of subject interest can be recommended to multiple projects according to our current algorithms. When this happens, do you think it matters to make choices among those projects, i.e., should we prioritize on those smaller projects, just randomly choose one project, or do you have other thoughts?
2. Female editor promotion. Gender imbalance has been a long-term issue in Wikipedia which consequently caused the uncoverage of many female related topics. What do you think about the idea of promoting more female editors in the recommendation list? Bobo.03 ( talk) 19:59, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors February 2018 News
Welcome to the February 2018 GOCE newsletter in which you will find Guild updates since the December edition. We got to a great start for the year, holding the backlog at nine months. 100 requests were submitted in the first 6 weeks of the year and were swiftly handled with an average completion time of 9 days. Coordinator elections: In December, coordinators for the first half of 2018 were elected. Jonesey95 remained as lead coordinator and Corrine, Miniapolis and Tdslk as assistant coordinators. Keira1996 stepped down as assistant coordinator and was replaced by Reidgreg. Thanks to all who participated! End of year reports were prepared for 2016 and 2017, providing a detailed look at the Guild's long-term progress. January drive: We set out to remove April, May, and June 2017 from our backlog and all December 2017 Requests (a total of 275 articles). As with previous years, the January drive was an outstanding success and by the end of the month all but 57 of these articles were cleared. Officially, of the 38 who signed up, 21 editors recorded 259 copy edits (490,256 words). February blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 February, focusing on Requests and the last articles tagged in May 2017. At the end of the week there were only 14 pending requests, with none older than 20 days. Of the 11 who signed up, 10 editors completed 35 copy edits (98,538 words). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Corinne, Tdslk, and Reidgreg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on March for Our Lives requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Hi, and I hope all goes well. A couple of quick things. I've been adding italics to the titles of quite a few of your new art and statue pages over the past couple of years when they arrive, but I must have missed many and older pages, maybe you can check on a selection. Thanks. I also notice you are further categorizing statues into their home countries, which is cool if there are many of them, but can we maybe not go into that level of categorizing when there are only a couple or one in the country. I'm so used to adding things like 'Dogs in art', etc., that I don't think I'd be as enthused over that if I had to bother with 'Dogs in paintings in New Jersey' or some such. I'm one of those who don't like overcategorization, and you seem to divide things up pretty small sometimes. Not you, as far as I know, but there are categories that go five or six categories deep. Anyway, just personal preferences, except for the italicized titles, which I've worked on for years now in order to professionalize the encyclopedia. Thanks.

Why do you insist on working in the draft space for articles you didn't create so you can request a move at WP:RM/TR to overwrite someone else's redirect, but when it's a redirect you've made you'll work on it there in article space? You can write whatever you like for the request—"oh I wasn't sure about its notability"—that's a transparent excuse, because I have never seen you work on a draft for an article you've already made a redirect for so that redirect can then be overwritten, because it would be pointless to you—your username is already there in the history 20 times over. I really feel you're acting in bad faith and not in the spirit of a collaborative encyclopedia by trying to remove others' redirect creation when they've made a redirect for a topic you're interested in before you. I'm quite sure you wouldn't like it done to you, so stop doing it to other users. I asked you not to do it before and you acquiesced, so in future, please don't remove my redirects just so you can have your name first. Suck it up: You can't create everything. Accept that you didn't make it first and work on the existing redirect instead of doing this underhanded excuse business. Thank you. Ss 112 09:36, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Ss112: I'm not going to argue about this. I've created many drafts, and many redirects. And you're wrong to assume I've never created a draft after creating a redirect. Feel free to override my redirects with drafts, I wouldn't care because you'd be improving Wikipedia, and you would deserve credit for putting in the work. You create many, many redirects, and I don't think you should be so offended when drafts override them now and then. Thanks, --- Another Believer ( Talk) 16:53, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Per your invitation I joined WikiProject: Oregon and set myself a fairly lofty goal. I have run into something I do not know how to handle from where it is and you are my first choice for assistance.
Editor Imzadi1979 made an edit to Historic Columbia River Highway that removed the formatting of a citation I had worked on earlier in the day. It was converted from vertical format to horizontal (removed white space) as the only edit. I undid the revision as non-constructive and why and even that it was for my benefit as I worked to have it that way. The edit was re-applied with reasoning I find to be merit-less and without any initiated discussion. No time to research his position was taken and no cited MOS or help page for his reasoning.
What I do know is I read in one of the GA-BAH-JILLION manuals of style, tips, and ways of doing things that:
I prefer the vertical format as it is much easier to read by humans and I feel that "disrupting the underlying flow of wikicode" would fall under this premise. I intend to work more on that article and the edit that was made by Imzadi1979 was not constructive or contributory to the quality of the article. It merely makes the wikitext markup harder to read by humans. I searched and read for more than an hour and I found no reference at all to his reasoning.
I fully recognize that both methods are acceptable as they are exampled in all template documentations, but this is a large article and to improve it I, as a human, need to be able to read the markup to edit it. Removing white-space it not an edit and isn't a benefit to much of anyone.
At this point it becomes an edit war, of which I will not participate and I would like a resolution to. Please advise should I need to broaden my understanding in this area or if I have taken any inappropriate actions.
Thank you very much for your time.

Hello, Another Believer – Happy New Year! Because this article was quite well written as it was, I only made a few changes. Out of respect for your wording choices, I refrained from re-wording a few sentences that would constitute only slight stylistic changes. I thought I'd mention them here and see what you thought. 1) In the first paragraph in Royal Naval Division War Memorial#Design is the following sentence:
I thought, in reality, the relief carvings are not only at the base of the obelisk but on the base. I thought it would be nice to avoid the parenthetical phrase in the middle, "on all four sides". The sentence might read more smoothly as follows:
or:
I kind of like the second option. What do you think? 2) Later in the Design section you provide Rupert Brooke's poem. It seemed to me that the lines of the poem were unnecessarily far apart from each other, that is, had too much space between them. Is there any reason they need to be spaced so far apart? 3) Twice, once in the second paragraph in the lead, and once in the first paragraph in Royal Naval Division War Memorial#Background, you begin a sentence with "As well as...". I don't recall ever seeing this type of construction, with the "as well as" at the beginning of a sentence. I wonder if that is more a British English construction than American English. Of course, because of the topic, the article is, and should be, written using British English. I just wanted to point it out. I suppose it is all right, but I would use "In addition to" for the first one and "In addition to" or "Besides" for the second one. But if you're happy with the way these sentences read, then by all means leave them as they are. 4) The first two sentences of the Royal Naval Division War Memorial#Design section are:
These are fine as they are. If you want them to flow a little more smoothly, you might consider joining them as follows:
or:
I kind of prefer the second option. But it's really up to you. 5) In the first paragraph in the lead is the following sentence:
I don't know British English usage with regard to geography, but to my American ears, "in the south coast" sounds odd. We would always say "on the south coast", or "in the south". I notice that in the Royal Naval Division War Memorial#Commissioning section, you have "across the south coast":
Would you consider changing the sentence in the lead to one of these? –
6) Near the beginning of the first paragraph in the lead is the following sentence:
(You will have seen by now that I moved the adverbial phrase to the beginning of the sentence.) I was trying to figure out a way to avoid "former members formed a committee", with "former" and "formed" in such close proximity. I also thought some readers might be puzzled by the word "members", associating "members" more with an association than a military division. But if we add "of the division" after "former members" (which would, at one and the same time, clarify "members" and put more distance between "former" and "formed"), then we probably should not repeat "division". However, if we change "one of the division's leading officers" to "one of its leading officers", we create ambiguity because "its" could refer to both "division" and "committee". I even tried passive voice ("a committee was formed"), but that didn't sound right, either. So, I left it as it was. Do you have any ideas? Perhaps we could ask Iridescent for his thoughts. Well, that's all. You don't really have to make any further changes. These are just slight stylistic options. Best regards, – Corinne ( talk) 00:45, 8 January 2018 (UTC) |

Hello, Another Believer. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Mindful (song) at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 20:41, 8 January 2018 (UTC) |
Before creating redirects, please check to make sure there is not a song of the same name on Wikipedia named at a disamibiguation page (some of the Justin Timberlake redirects you made recently, like Young Man (song)) or with its own page already, such as All These Years. Other editors have asked me to do this, and I don't know how after years of creating redirects, you haven't been asked to do so either. Adding "(song)" onto the end of a title doesn't differentiate the new song from an older song that already has an article. It could be another way an editor would be thinking to look for the original song. If another song of the same name comes about, we can pretty much only differentiate that new song with a redirect including the artist's name in the title to disambiguate it, hence All These Years (Camila Cabello song). There is no confusion when we add the artist's full name to the title; there is confusion as to which song you mean when you just add "(song)". Thank you. Ss 112 08:45, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Homemade Dynamite has been completed. The GA reviewer noted that there are a few parts that are "rough" which is an understatement given some of the issues I found. I do think the article is now of GA quality.

Hi Another Believer,
Hope you are doing well! Thank you for using our tool, and giving us feedback for improvement. We've made some improvements, and are preparing to send another round of recommendations for your project. But before that, we are considering two possible factors to implement into our algorithms potentially, and wonder what's your opinion on them.
1. Small project promotion. An editor who has a wide range of subject interest can be recommended to multiple projects according to our current algorithms. When this happens, do you think it matters to make choices among those projects, i.e., should we prioritize on those smaller projects, just randomly choose one project, or do you have other thoughts?
2. Female editor promotion. Gender imbalance has been a long-term issue in Wikipedia which consequently caused the uncoverage of many female related topics. What do you think about the idea of promoting more female editors in the recommendation list? Bobo.03 ( talk) 19:59, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

The painting is named Memory, the Heart (not to be confused with The Heart, She Holler) by Frida Kahlo. Quite the painting and backstory.

Thanks for uploading File:Hear Music Volume 7 Waking album cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:20, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors February 2018 News
Welcome to the February 2018 GOCE newsletter in which you will find Guild updates since the December edition. We got to a great start for the year, holding the backlog at nine months. 100 requests were submitted in the first 6 weeks of the year and were swiftly handled with an average completion time of 9 days. Coordinator elections: In December, coordinators for the first half of 2018 were elected. Jonesey95 remained as lead coordinator and Corrine, Miniapolis and Tdslk as assistant coordinators. Keira1996 stepped down as assistant coordinator and was replaced by Reidgreg. Thanks to all who participated! End of year reports were prepared for 2016 and 2017, providing a detailed look at the Guild's long-term progress. January drive: We set out to remove April, May, and June 2017 from our backlog and all December 2017 Requests (a total of 275 articles). As with previous years, the January drive was an outstanding success and by the end of the month all but 57 of these articles were cleared. Officially, of the 38 who signed up, 21 editors recorded 259 copy edits (490,256 words). February blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 February, focusing on Requests and the last articles tagged in May 2017. At the end of the week there were only 14 pending requests, with none older than 20 days. Of the 11 who signed up, 10 editors completed 35 copy edits (98,538 words). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Corinne, Tdslk, and Reidgreg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on March for Our Lives requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. – S. Rich ( talk) 07:25, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, and I hope all goes well. A couple of quick things. I've been adding italics to the titles of quite a few of your new art and statue pages over the past couple of years when they arrive, but I must have missed many and older pages, maybe you can check on a selection. Thanks. I also notice you are further categorizing statues into their home countries, which is cool if there are many of them, but can we maybe not go into that level of categorizing when there are only a couple or one in the country. I'm so used to adding things like 'Dogs in art', etc., that I don't think I'd be as enthused over that if I had to bother with 'Dogs in paintings in New Jersey' or some such. I'm one of those who don't like overcategorization, and you seem to divide things up pretty small sometimes. Not you, as far as I know, but there are categories that go five or six categories deep. Anyway, just personal preferences, except for the italicized titles, which I've worked on for years now in order to professionalize the encyclopedia. Thanks.

Why do you insist on working in the draft space for articles you didn't create so you can request a move at WP:RM/TR to overwrite someone else's redirect, but when it's a redirect you've made you'll work on it there in article space? You can write whatever you like for the request—"oh I wasn't sure about its notability"—that's a transparent excuse, because I have never seen you work on a draft for an article you've already made a redirect for so that redirect can then be overwritten, because it would be pointless to you—your username is already there in the history 20 times over. I really feel you're acting in bad faith and not in the spirit of a collaborative encyclopedia by trying to remove others' redirect creation when they've made a redirect for a topic you're interested in before you. I'm quite sure you wouldn't like it done to you, so stop doing it to other users. I asked you not to do it before and you acquiesced, so in future, please don't remove my redirects just so you can have your name first. Suck it up: You can't create everything. Accept that you didn't make it first and work on the existing redirect instead of doing this underhanded excuse business. Thank you. Ss 112 09:36, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Ss112: I'm not going to argue about this. I've created many drafts, and many redirects. And you're wrong to assume I've never created a draft after creating a redirect. Feel free to override my redirects with drafts, I wouldn't care because you'd be improving Wikipedia, and you would deserve credit for putting in the work. You create many, many redirects, and I don't think you should be so offended when drafts override them now and then. Thanks, --- Another Believer ( Talk) 16:53, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Per your invitation I joined WikiProject: Oregon and set myself a fairly lofty goal. I have run into something I do not know how to handle from where it is and you are my first choice for assistance.
Editor Imzadi1979 made an edit to Historic Columbia River Highway that removed the formatting of a citation I had worked on earlier in the day. It was converted from vertical format to horizontal (removed white space) as the only edit. I undid the revision as non-constructive and why and even that it was for my benefit as I worked to have it that way. The edit was re-applied with reasoning I find to be merit-less and without any initiated discussion. No time to research his position was taken and no cited MOS or help page for his reasoning.
What I do know is I read in one of the GA-BAH-JILLION manuals of style, tips, and ways of doing things that:
I prefer the vertical format as it is much easier to read by humans and I feel that "disrupting the underlying flow of wikicode" would fall under this premise. I intend to work more on that article and the edit that was made by Imzadi1979 was not constructive or contributory to the quality of the article. It merely makes the wikitext markup harder to read by humans. I searched and read for more than an hour and I found no reference at all to his reasoning.
I fully recognize that both methods are acceptable as they are exampled in all template documentations, but this is a large article and to improve it I, as a human, need to be able to read the markup to edit it. Removing white-space it not an edit and isn't a benefit to much of anyone.
At this point it becomes an edit war, of which I will not participate and I would like a resolution to. Please advise should I need to broaden my understanding in this area or if I have taken any inappropriate actions.
Thank you very much for your time.

Linked from the U.S. 50,000 campaign page, I followed your link to Talk:National_Statuary_Hall_Collection#Standalone_article_for_each_sculpture. That seems like a good effort. Thank you for making a list of redlinks in order to encourage creation of the missing sculptures, that is indeed appropriate to do. (This specific list is in Talk space, i am not checking yet whether the redlinks are in mainspace which would be appropriate also.) Thanks! -- Doncram ( talk) 04:56, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
