![]() Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
September 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated! Several of our top editors were called away to real life concerns during the month (be careful out there, people!). This meant that once again, we did not meet all our lofty targets, but we did come close.
Barnstars
A huge "thank you" to all editors who helped clear the backlog and to others who helped out behind-the-scenes. See you at the next drive, and until then, please continue to help us work through the backlog. Happy editing! Coordinator: ɳorɑfʈ Talk! Co-coordinators: Diannaa ( Talk) and S Masters ( talk). Newsletter by Diannaa ( Talk) and The Utahraptor Talk to me/ Contributions. |

Hi Diannaa! I went to do something on an IP editor’s talk page and noticed that
you had added the {{
Welcome}}
template to an IP editor’s talk page. I think that that is a great thing since it encourages good IP editors to keep up the good work. I did, however, want to mention two things to you:
{{
Welcome-anon}}
template: it lets you optionally indicate a particular article for which you want to commend them, and, most importantly, it encourages the anon to
register; and{{
Welcomeg}}
. It has a nice layout. By the way, this template does not require you to sign it since it will do so automatically.Thanks! — Spike Toronto 19:19, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
P.S. If I am telling you stuff you already know, feel free to tell me to f*ck off! ☺ — Spike Toronto 19:21, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Another example occurs when an editor adds something unsourced to an article. HG and the “Failing to cite a verifiable reliable source” warning may not apply since it is only for extraordinary statements whose unsourced presence could harm Wikipedia. If the unsourced statement does not rise to that level (e.g., adding to a culinary article about a certain dish that some cooks use margarine instead of butter), then it is more appropriate to manually add a {{
Citation needed}}
tag to the sentence, and then add a {{
Uw-unsourced1}}
template to the editor’s page. That template indicates that a source is necessary, but does not indicate that the edit was reverted. You can use HG to apply the template without letting HG revert.
After I revert, I often open up the editor’s contribs page and see if there is anything else they have done that needs cleaning up. You can do the cleanup with HG. It will not issue further warning templates if the editor has not edited since the last warning, but it will make the revert.
Also, Popups (and some related extensions) can be very useful especially when, while reviewing edits, you realize that well intended RCPers are reverting to bad versions. Popups lets one find the clean version and revert to it.
I would say that, overall, anywhere from one-third to one-half of the work I do when on vandalism patrol is done manually, where HG just takes me to the article to be dealt with. Sorry to be so long-winded. — Spike Toronto 05:22, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the modest barnstar. It is nice about what happened in the September drive, especially since there were only 13 articles remaining from 2008. I wasn't as active in this drive as I was in July (school might have something to do with it, because July was a summer vacation month for me, and I had more time to kill), but I did learn some worthy information. I'll be signing up for the November drive; I do like these drives and their motives. Backtable Speak to me concerning my deeds. 20:38, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello, thank you so much for offering to copy-edit this article. I think that if this article gets a copy-edit it will be able to pass the GA review. As you can see from the last review, prose was the main reason it failed. Once again, thanks. Mr.Kennedy1 talk 09:58, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Generally, Wikipedia requires verifiable references/ citations especially for biographies of living persons.
The relevant policies for you are WP:V, WP:BLP, WP:RS, and WP:CITE. WP:REFBEGIN tells you how to input a verifiable reference/ citation once you have one.
By the way, I did a search on Google News and found nothing. The same when I searched Yahoo News. Good luck! — Spike Toronto 05:14, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
The recent edit, although it is true, seems rather questionable for it to be on a Wikipedia page. Does it even belong there?-- iGeM iN ix 05:27, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
I have to disagree with reverting this edit once the editor provided a citation from a large-circulation daily from a major metropolis. Biographies are meant to inform the reader about the person who is the subject of the biography. Thus, information of the sort presented in that interview, no matter how distasetful, is nevertheless informative as to the nature of the person that is Taylor Momsen, the subject of the wikiarticle. Thus, it is encyclopedic, whatever that may mean. We may find it unpalatable and wish that she had not been so frank and honest in the interview, but there it is. It is not our job to whitewash her bio. Eliminating the text, no matter how distasteful violates the spirit of WP:NOTCENSORED. Finally, it is irrelevant that she is a minor since there is no pornographic depiction of her. I’ll get off my soapbox now. Thanks! — Spike Toronto 04:46, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi! I'd like to nominate three articles at WP:GAN, those are A3 (Croatia), A6 (Croatia) and A4 (Croatia). The first two passed a PR, and the last one is currently listed among PR requests. However before I submit any of the above for GAN, I'd like to have them copyedited since I'm not a native speaker of English. Would you please copyedit at least one of those three? All of them are currently listed at WP:GOCE requests. Thanks!-- Tomobe03 ( talk) 11:17, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I just replied to you on Avoided's talk page, to say that four warnings to a vandal aren't actually required. I do appreciate that you know your way around here very well, it's just that Avoided is much more experienced on the German wikipedia (where the warning culture may be different) than here, and even though s/he's now diligently issuing warnings, seems to be starting at level one when there's absolutely no reason to assume good faith.

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar | |
For being a vandal fighter that sometimes will beat me in reverting. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{ Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 04:20, 24 October 2010 (UTC) |
My work on this page has wrongfully been tagged as "vandalism." Erroneous content has been added to the page and it needs to be reverted to a previous version with the correct content. Two issues: the date of the game for eighth place is incorrect, since all the sources report it as 2 Sept. 1920 and not 30 Aug. 1920 (see http://www.rsssf.com/tableso/ol1920f-det.html). Second issue: the latter stages of the competition did not "descend into farse" as stated in the article (that's in violation of Wikipedia policy of NPOV), the tournament continued following the rules of the Bergvall system, as explained here: http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/JOH/JOHv8n1/johv8n1o.pdf. The only difference was that the disqualification of Czechoslovakia forced an eighth-place game. Also information added in an improper type (subscript) is unreadable, since it's not in proper English and does not seem to give any valuable/supported information. Also, the game for eighth place does not belong in the same section with the tournament to determine second place, since it was only done after Czechoslovakia's disqualification. The tournament to determine second place was in the rules all along. That section needs to be appended after the one regarding the consolation tournament. -- 24.68.76.74 ( talk) 04:25, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I wish you luck with the RfA. I don't pay enough attention to them to guess how likely yours is to pass. I've always thought the RfA process shows the Wikipedia bureaucracy at its worst. They should simply give editors a second account with Admin privileges limited to a narrow scope as agreed upon in the RfA. Editors would then appeal for more privileges. (Of course, it's not simple at the technical level). Your desire to work on copyright violations as an administrator shows the limits of this approach. An admin account needs a wide variety of privileges to do such work. In contrast, working on WP:CSD, WP:AIV, WP:UAA, etc could be done with restricted-privilege accounts. Myself, I do mostly policing work yet I rarely feel the need for admin privileges. -- Ronz ( talk) 17:28, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

I would like to suggest that you reverse your decision about a speedy delete for Cache Creek Casino Resort. Casinos tend to be notable. Also this article has been around for 4 years which is a strong statement about it not being viewed as spam. Finally did you look at the id that made the nomination? It is a single purpose account that did the nomination and it happens to be the name of another casino that does not have an article. Seems like this was a POV nomination.

Greetings, Diannaa; I've got a question about the drive's awarding system. There are awards offered for those who copyedit articles with a 4000 word count, 8000 word count, 12000 word count, and so on. Do we get these individual awards as we go along, or are they all saved up for the end of the drive?

Guild of Copy Editors
September 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated! Several of our top editors were called away to real life concerns during the month (be careful out there, people!). This meant that once again, we did not meet all our lofty targets, but we did come close.
Barnstars
A huge "thank you" to all editors who helped clear the backlog and to others who helped out behind-the-scenes. See you at the next drive, and until then, please continue to help us work through the backlog. Happy editing! Coordinator: ɳorɑfʈ Talk! Co-coordinators: Diannaa ( Talk) and S Masters ( talk).

Hi Diannaa! I went to do something on an IP editor’s talk page and noticed that
you had added the {{
Welcome}}
template to an IP editor’s talk page. I think that that is a great thing since it encourages good IP editors to keep up the good work. I did, however, want to mention two things to you:
{{
Welcome-anon}}
template: it lets you optionally indicate a particular article for which you want to commend them, and, most importantly, it encourages the anon to
register; and{{
Welcomeg}}
. It has a nice layout. By the way, this template does not require you to sign it since it will do so automatically.Thanks! — Spike Toronto 19:19, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
P.S. If I am telling you stuff you already know, feel free to tell me to f*ck off! ☺ — Spike Toronto 19:21, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Another example occurs when an editor adds something unsourced to an article. HG and the “Failing to cite a verifiable reliable source” warning may not apply since it is only for extraordinary statements whose unsourced presence could harm Wikipedia. If the unsourced statement does not rise to that level (e.g., adding to a culinary article about a certain dish that some cooks use margarine instead of butter), then it is more appropriate to manually add a {{
Citation needed}}
tag to the sentence, and then add a {{
Uw-unsourced1}}
template to the editor’s page. That template indicates that a source is necessary, but does not indicate that the edit was reverted. You can use HG to apply the template without letting HG revert.
After I revert, I often open up the editor’s contribs page and see if there is anything else they have done that needs cleaning up. You can do the cleanup with HG. It will not issue further warning templates if the editor has not edited since the last warning, but it will make the revert.
Also, Popups (and some related extensions) can be very useful especially when, while reviewing edits, you realize that well intended RCPers are reverting to bad versions. Popups lets one find the clean version and revert to it.
I would say that, overall, anywhere from one-third to one-half of the work I do when on vandalism patrol is done manually, where HG just takes me to the article to be dealt with. Sorry to be so long-winded. — Spike Toronto 05:22, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the modest barnstar. It is nice about what happened in the September drive, especially since there were only 13 articles remaining from 2008. I wasn't as active in this drive as I was in July (school might have something to do with it, because July was a summer vacation month for me, and I had more time to kill), but I did learn some worthy information. I'll be signing up for the November drive; I do like these drives and their motives. Backtable Speak to me concerning my deeds. 20:38, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Generally, Wikipedia requires verifiable references/ citations especially for biographies of living persons.
The relevant policies for you are WP:V, WP:BLP, WP:RS, and WP:CITE. WP:REFBEGIN tells you how to input a verifiable reference/ citation once you have one.
By the way, I did a search on Google News and found nothing. The same when I searched Yahoo News. Good luck! — Spike Toronto 05:14, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
The recent edit, although it is true, seems rather questionable for it to be on a Wikipedia page. Does it even belong there?-- iGeM iN ix 05:27, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
I have to disagree with reverting this edit once the editor provided a citation from a large-circulation daily from a major metropolis. Biographies are meant to inform the reader about the person who is the subject of the biography. Thus, information of the sort presented in that interview, no matter how distasetful, is nevertheless informative as to the nature of the person that is Taylor Momsen, the subject of the wikiarticle. Thus, it is encyclopedic, whatever that may mean. We may find it unpalatable and wish that she had not been so frank and honest in the interview, but there it is. It is not our job to whitewash her bio. Eliminating the text, no matter how distasteful violates the spirit of WP:NOTCENSORED. Finally, it is irrelevant that she is a minor since there is no pornographic depiction of her. I’ll get off my soapbox now. Thanks! — Spike Toronto 04:46, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi! I'd like to nominate three articles at WP:GAN, those are A3 (Croatia), A6 (Croatia) and A4 (Croatia). The first two passed a PR, and the last one is currently listed among PR requests.

Hi, I just replied to you on Avoided's talk page, to say that four warnings to a vandal aren't actually required. I do appreciate that you know your way around here very well, it's just that Avoided is much more experienced on the German wikipedia (where the warning culture may be different) than here, and even though s/he's now diligently issuing warnings, seems to be starting at level one when there's absolutely no reason to assume good faith.

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar | |
For being a vandal fighter that sometimes will beat me in reverting. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{ Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 04:20, 24 October 2010 (UTC) |
My work on this page has wrongfully been tagged as "vandalism." Erroneous content has been added to the page and it needs to be reverted to a previous version with the correct content. Two issues: the date of the game for eighth place is incorrect, since all the sources report it as 2 Sept. 1920 and not 30 Aug. 1920 (see http://www.rsssf.com/tableso/ol1920f-det.html). Second issue: the latter stages of the competition did not "descend into farse" as stated in the article (that's in violation of Wikipedia policy of NPOV), the tournament continued following the rules of the Bergvall system, as explained here: http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/JOH/JOHv8n1/johv8n1o.pdf. The only difference was that the disqualification of Czechoslovakia forced an eighth-place game. Also information added in an improper type (subscript) is unreadable, since it's not in proper English and does not seem to give any valuable/supported information. Also, the game for eighth place does not belong in the same section with the tournament to determine second place, since it was only done after Czechoslovakia's disqualification. The tournament to determine second place was in the rules all along. That section needs to be appended after the one regarding the consolation tournament. -- 24.68.76.74 ( talk) 04:25, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I wish you luck with the RfA. I don't pay enough attention to them to guess how likely yours is to pass. I've always thought the RfA process shows the Wikipedia bureaucracy at its worst. They should simply give editors a second account with Admin privileges limited to a narrow scope as agreed upon in the RfA. Editors would then appeal for more privileges. (Of course, it's not simple at the technical level). Your desire to work on copyright violations as an administrator shows the limits of this approach. An admin account needs a wide variety of privileges to do such work. In contrast, working on WP:CSD, WP:AIV, WP:UAA, etc could be done with restricted-privilege accounts. Myself, I do mostly policing work yet I rarely feel the need for admin privileges. -- Ronz ( talk) 17:28, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Greetings, Diannaa; I've got a question about the drive's awarding system. There are awards offered for those who copyedit articles with a 4000 word count, 8000 word count, 12000 word count, and so on. Do we get these individual awards as we go along, or are they all saved up for the end of the drive? I'm asking because a number of us have already gathered enough words for the 4000-related award, and some have even gotten enough for the 8000 one, but nobody appears to have received anything yet.
