Hi, Jonesey. I don't know if you were planning to archive your finished requests, but please feel free to do so in future :-). Thanks and all the best, Mini apolis 21:52, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
I have placed the article under GA reassessment as it was passed in 2008 (almost 7 years back). The reviewer has asked for a GOCE member to do a c/e on the "Plot" and "Release" sections only. Would you like to perform a c/e on them?

I'm a little confused. I swear that I did not remove or change content from Lee Kuan Yew. Probably someone hacked my account and started messing things up. — Magicaluniverse ( talk) 03:00, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
I had to revert before edits made by an indef blocked user but this also undid the cite updates you did. I would appreciate it if you could redo the refill of the bare references. Sorry about this but things got interleaved and I couldn't think of a better way to remove the untrusted changes by the blocked user. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 15:55, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
The deprecation of the Scap parameter is currently being discussed at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters#RfC:_Proposed_exceptions_to_general_deprecation_of_Allcaps, so please wait with removing it from articles untill a consensus is reached and the discussion is closed. Perhaps you could selfrevert your recent spate of edits removing the parameter from many articles pending this decision. User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 21:53, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

I just noticed that Sophie Hunter has notable relatives and this should be reflected in her infobox. All sources are in the family family section of the page. If you may be so kind to copy-paste this to the page, I would be very grateful and it would be a big improvement to her page.
|family =
There should also be an "Education" parameter aside from the already indicated "Alma Mater" as she went to St. Paul's Girls' School which is a notable school in the UK. I do hope you can include that too. THANKS! Keep up the good work on Wiki! 213.164.22.2 ( talk) 06:08, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi Jonesey,
This is my first use of talk, so I hope I am using it correctly.
Thanks for your correction in my citations (ISSN to ISBN). I had just started using the cite syntax in place of straight markup text, and it pointed out the error. I was in the process of fixing that when I found you had already done so in the Bron article.
However, you also removed a number of url links I had to the WorldCat index. Originally I had mistakenly put them on the ISSN's (acutally ISBN's), but found that if I used the url parameter in cite, they went onto the title instead -- which seemed okay since WorldCat tells you how to find copies of the book in question. However, you also removed that.
Given how useful WorldCat is, I would very much like to include links to it in my citations, but now I am not certain how to do in properly to Wikipedia standards. Is there another cite parameter that can be used? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethersearch ( talk • contribs) 00:04, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
{{
cite book}}
, will automatically link parameters like |issn=
to the right place. If you don't use the cite template, ISSN will not link, but ISBN is magic and will link just fine, like this:
ISBN
9785020098237.Thank you. I think also I have figured out how to include WorldCat links in cite templates -- with the oclc parameter. Ethersearch ( talk) 01:50, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

If you honestly believe that this constitutes "content", then there's something wrong, but that's your prerogative. It got moved to a draft space because it completely failed WP:NALBUMS, which I said when I re-directed it twice in my edit summaries, but was reverted both times, and in my reasoning for speedy deletion. 4 sources, 4 sentences, no release date, no sources for the "confirmed" track list songs = not eligible for main space. Just had to drop by and give you a little educating so you're aware for the future. — ₳aron 09:27, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Please remove deletion tag from Mahmoud Reza Khavari, he was a very notable banker even before the embezzlement, he was chairman of Iran's biggest bank, Bank Melli Iran. As you can see here he has a profile on Bloomberg. also after the scandal, he has recieved a nationwide attention and coverage in Iran like his partner Mahafarid Amir Khosravi (see Farsi page). now 4 years after escape he is still a headline (see [12] [13] for example). he has also been notorious in Canada (see [14] [15] [16] for example) and has been subject to a speech in House of Commons of Canada.

Yesterday you kindly cleaned up a duplicate arguement on a historical time line table within the Berkhamsted. When I looked at the table, I realised that I had repeated the actual text content of that line two lines down in more accurate detail and in a more logical place. Without thinking whether I should contact you first, I corrected my mistake. -- BOD -- 23:34, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you so much for fixing my reference citation (ISBN).

Just wondering if you would want to have the template editor right, so that you could edit protected templates yourself instead of having to do requests? -- WOSlinker ( talk) 14:46, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
Your account has been granted the template editor
user right, allowing you to edit
templates and
modules that have been protected with
template protection. It also allows you to bypass the
title blacklist, giving you the ability to create and edit
edit notices.
You can use this user right to perform maintenance, answer edit requests, and make any other simple and generally uncontroversial edits to templates, modules, and edit notices. You can also use it to enact more complex or controversial edits, after those edits are first made to a test sandbox, and their technical reliability as well as their consensus among other informed editors has been established.
Before you use this user right, please read Wikipedia:Template editor and make sure you understand its contents. In particular, you should read the section on wise template editing and the criteria for revocation. This user right gives you access to some of Wikipedia's most important templates and modules; it is critical that you edit them wisely and that you only make edits that are backed up by consensus. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.
Useful links:
Happy template editing! WOSlinker ( talk) 18:42, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jonesey95,
I posted a section to Talk:List of nuclear reactors#Grammatical_consistensy:_.22Shutdown.22_or_.22shut_down.22_and_capitalization about how to correct grammatical issues on that page, and I am looking for more input on whether the page should be changed according to my suggestions. As a copy editor, do you have anything to say about it?
Thanks! Mechanic1c ( talk) 11:06, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
I know you're often up at this time, so thought you would be the person to send this to, though I'll ping @ Miniapolis, Philg88, and Biblioworm: as well. The page displaying general information on blitzes mentions "The Copy Editing Project Blitzes are one-week-long efforts of the Guild of Copy Editors to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy editing, signified by the copy edit tag" - I would say that this, and other mentions of the copy edit tag should be changed to just say articles needing copy edit - the current theme, and, indeed, a rather large amount of previous themes, have not been about the copy edit tag - the theme was requests and as requests often don't contain the copy edit tag (GAN or FAN mostly) it should be removed. "The Copy Editing Project Blitzes are one-week-long efforts of the Guild of Copy Editors to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy editing" would suffice, and be shorter, and indeed sweeter. Obviously it's rather a large change, and I didn't feel it was appropriate to do myself, thus the talk page message. Finding articles and the second bullet under instructions also need to be changed.
However, I'd rather not have the finding articles part removed entirely as it's certainly applicable - perhaps mention that it can only be done if the theme applies to copy-edit tagged articles at the top?
Aside from that, good luck with lead coordinator (you're definitely going to be, but I thought I'd mention it anyway) - I'm probably out of the running entirely, and in hindsight it's probably for the best, though I do sincerely want to help maintain the project. Hopefully I get a laptop charger before the blitz, at least. KieranTribe ( talk) 13:54, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Have you had any luck running it? I've been banging my head against it all afternoon and am just sinking deeper into the mire :-). Hate to ask Torchiest, but it may be the only way we're going to get it done.

I figured out the js script/word count and am now looking at the article that I randomly chose ( Bill Cable. In reading it and the single comment on the talk page I concur with that comment that this appears to be a fan page does not meet notability tests WP:BIO. It is really atrocious. There is so much fluff that needs to come out that about all that remains is a gay porn actor with a few cross-over minor rolls and a non-descript connection with Cassandra Peterson (Elvira).

Any input would be welcome. I could still CE it, but it would not improve it. As I get back into learning the basics after a wikibreak, I will probably tag this for a normal delete process. I need to read more about that to make sure I'm doing it right. Thanks, -- SlimJim Talk 08:32, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Re this, what is the point of hiding the deprecation from the editor who attempts to use a deprecated template? This makes no sense to me. The whole objective is to let them know not to insert these transclusions. LeadSongDog come howl! 17:10, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the encouragement to move this draft to mainspace and develop it there. I've worked on it off and on for too long-- that is, long enough for some of the resources I had identified to become dead links!

|archive=

. |archive=
is not a valid parameter, which is why there was a red error message in the citation before I fixed it. The second change was to set the |archive-date=

Hello, Jonesey95 -- I was just looking at the requests for copyedits on the Requests page, and near the bottom I saw Sonam Kapoor. When I looked at the article, it looked very familiar, as if I had already done a copy-edit of it. When I looked in the Revision History, I only saw two edits. (I didn't look at them, though.) So I thought, maybe I hadn't. (I had forgotten for a moment that when I do a copy-edit for GOCE, I often do the entire article in one or two groups of edits.) Then I looked at my talk page and saw a request for a copy-edit from Frankie, at User talk:Corinne#CE. I even sent Frankie a note apologizing. Then I looked at the talk page of the article and saw that I had placed a GOCE template there on October 27, 2015. I would only do that if I had really completed a copy-edit of the entire article. So I added an additional note to Frankie on my talk page.
So, it looks like I forgot to add the "Done" template to the Sonam Kapoor request on the GOCE Requests page. I was just about to do that when I thought I'd better ask you whether there is any way to retroactively add the "Done" template to October 27, 2015, the day I added the GOCE template to the article's talk page. I thought statistics were kept to give an idea of how long the GOCE project takes to compete copy-edits, on average, and this delay will skew those statistics. If not, then I apologize, and I will add the "Done" template as soon as I hear from you. Corinne ( talk) 01:09, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for
this edit. It looks like
User:Jonesey95/AutoEd/unnamed.js is incorrectly flagging the |vol=
parameter on {{
cite court}}, which doesn't support |volume=
. Would you mind correcting the script? There's an
overhaul in the works that will introduce |volume=
, but |vol=
should still be considered valid. Thanks! –

|vol=
to |volume=
. {{
Cite court}} currently supports only |vol=
, so my script would break the citation. Two straightforward solutions would be to add |volume=
as an alias for |vol=
in {{
cite court}} (paging
SMcCandlish for a quick fix) or to modify my regex so that {{
cite court}} is excluded from the search portion of the regex. –
Jonesey95 (
talk)
21:18, 17 November 2015 (UTC){{cite something}}
except {{
cite court}}
. The second, your old rule tweaked a bit, finds {{
citation}}
:
str = str.replace(/({{\s*[cC]ite (?!court)(?:[^}{]*(?:\{\{[^}{]*}}[^}{]*)*))\|\s*vol\s*=/gi, '$1\|volume=');
str = str.replace(/({{\s*[cC]ita(?:[^}{]*(?:\{\{[^}{]*}}[^}{]*)*))\|\s*vol\s*=/gi, '$1\|volume=');
|volume=
like the rest of the citation templates. I went to go fix that, and can't know, because it's been cascade protected, and now even template-editors can't edit it. I'm skeptical that that level of protection is justified, but it's that way for now. @
Trappist the monk: Would you mind adding that parameter alias? Some of us actually never use |vol=
; I always use the full word, and it would be frustrating to have to remember that a single template in the cite family chokes on it. (Hopefully only a single one.) —

I just noticed that Sophie Hunter has notable relatives and this should be reflected in her infobox. All sources are in the family family section of the page. If you may be so kind to copy-paste this to the page, I would be very grateful and it would be a big improvement to her page.
|family =
There should also be an "Education" parameter aside from the already indicated "Alma Mater" as she went to St. Paul's Girls' School which is a notable school in the UK. I do hope you can include that too. THANKS! Keep up the good work on Wiki! 213.164.22.2 ( talk) 06:08, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi Jonesey,
This is my first use of talk, so I hope I am using it correctly.
Thanks for your correction in my citations (ISSN to ISBN). I had just started using the cite syntax in place of straight markup text, and it pointed out the error. I was in the process of fixing that when I found you had already done so in the Bron article.
However, you also removed a number of url links I had to the WorldCat index. Originally I had mistakenly put them on the ISSN's (acutally ISBN's), but found that if I used the url parameter in cite, they went onto the title instead -- which seemed okay since WorldCat tells you how to find copies of the book in question. However, you also removed that.
Given how useful WorldCat is, I would very much like to include links to it in my citations, but now I am not certain how to do in properly to Wikipedia standards. Is there another cite parameter that can be used? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethersearch ( talk • contribs) 00:04, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
{{
cite book}}
, will automatically link parameters like |issn=
to the right place. If you don't use the cite template, ISSN will not link, but ISBN is magic and will link just fine, like this:
ISBN
9785020098237.Thank you. I think also I have figured out how to include WorldCat links in cite templates -- with the oclc parameter. Ethersearch ( talk) 01:50, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

If you honestly believe that this constitutes "content", then there's something wrong, but that's your prerogative.

Hi Jonesey, just wanted to say thanks for taking this on, and good work so far. This is Paul ( talk) 18:26, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks again for the copyedit, you've done a great job. I'll add it to the GAN pile and hope for the best. Cheers, This is Paul ( talk) 19:50, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Yesterday you kindly cleaned up a duplicate arguement on a historical time line table within the Berkhamsted. When I looked at the table, I realised that I had repeated the actual text content of that line two lines down in more accurate detail and in a more logical place. Without thinking whether I should contact you first, I corrected my mistake. -- BOD -- 23:34, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
We both need to copy everything added before hit save, Jonesey. It is a bit of a rush, I guess ... Hafspajen ( talk) 23:43, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you so much for fixing my reference citation (ISBN). I'm new to Wikipedia and to book numbers (actually it is my first dealing with these numbers at all, so I had to read a bit to get to know what was the issue).

Just wondering if you would want to have the template editor right, so that you could edit protected templates yourself instead of having to do requests? -- WOSlinker ( talk) 14:46, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
Your account has been granted the template editor
user right, allowing you to edit
templates and
modules that have been protected with
template protection. It also allows you to bypass the
title blacklist, giving you the ability to create and edit
edit notices.
You can use this user right to perform maintenance, answer edit requests, and make any other simple and generally uncontroversial edits to templates, modules, and edit notices. You can also use it to enact more complex or controversial edits, after those edits are first made to a test sandbox, and their technical reliability as well as their consensus among other informed editors has been established.
Before you use this user right, please read Wikipedia:Template editor and make sure you understand its contents. In particular, you should read the section on wise template editing and the criteria for revocation. This user right gives you access to some of Wikipedia's most important templates and modules; it is critical that you edit them wisely and that you only make edits that are backed up by consensus. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Happy template editing! WOSlinker ( talk) 18:42, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jonesey95,
I posted a section to Talk:List of nuclear reactors#Grammatical_consistensy:_.22Shutdown.22_or_.22shut_down.22_and_capitalization about how to correct grammatical issues on that page, and I am looking for more input on whether the page should be changed according to my suggestions. As a copy editor, do you have anything to say about it?
Thanks! Mechanic1c ( talk) 11:06, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
I know you're often up at this time, so thought you would be the person to send this to, though I'll ping @ Miniapolis, Philg88, and Biblioworm: as well. The page displaying general information on blitzes mentions "The Copy Editing Project Blitzes are one-week-long efforts of the Guild of Copy Editors to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy editing, signified by the copy edit tag" - I would say that this, and other mentions of the copy edit tag should be changed to just say articles needing copy edit - the current theme, and, indeed, a rather large amount of previous themes, have not been about the copy edit tag - the theme was requests and as requests often don't contain the copy edit tag (GAN or FAN mostly) it should be removed. "The Copy Editing Project Blitzes are one-week-long efforts of the Guild of Copy Editors to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy editing" would suffice, and be shorter, and indeed sweeter. Obviously it's rather a large change, and I didn't feel it was appropriate to do myself, thus the talk page message. Finding articles and the second bullet under instructions also need to be changed.
However, I'd rather not have the finding articles part removed entirely as it's certainly applicable - perhaps mention that it can only be done if the theme applies to copy-edit tagged articles at the top?
Aside from that, good luck with lead coordinator (you're definitely going to be, but I thought I'd mention it anyway) - I'm probably out of the running entirely, and in hindsight it's probably for the best, though I do sincerely want to help maintain the project. Hopefully I get a laptop charger before the blitz, at least. KieranTribe ( talk) 13:54, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

I figured out the js script/word count and am now looking at the article that I randomly chose ( Bill Cable. In reading it and the single comment on the talk page I concur with that comment that this appears to be a fan page does not meet notability tests WP:BIO. It is really atrocious. There is so much fluff that needs to come out that about all that remains is a gay porn actor with a few cross-over minor rolls and a non-descript connection with Cassandra Peterson (Elvira).

Any input would be welcome. I could still CE it, but it would not improve it. As I get back into learning the basics after a wikibreak, I will probably tag this for a normal delete process.

Hello, Jonesey95 -- I was just looking at the requests for copyedits on the Requests page, and near the bottom I saw Sonam Kapoor. When I looked at the article, it looked very familiar, as if I had already done a copy-edit of it. When I looked in the Revision History, I only saw two edits. (I didn't look at them, though.) So I thought, maybe I hadn't. (I had forgotten for a moment that when I do a copy-edit for GOCE, I often do the entire article in one or two groups of edits.) Then I looked at my talk page and saw a request for a copy-edit from Frankie, at User talk:Corinne#CE. I even sent Frankie a note apologizing. Then I looked at the talk page of the article and saw that I had placed a GOCE template there on October 27, 2015. I would only do that if I had really completed a copy-edit of the entire article. So I added an additional note to Frankie on my talk page.
So, it looks like I forgot to add the "Done" template to the Sonam Kapoor request on the GOCE Requests page. I was just about to do that when I thought I'd better ask you whether there is any way to retroactively add the "Done" template to October 27, 2015, the day I added the GOCE template to the article's talk page. I thought statistics were kept to give an idea of how long the GOCE project takes to compete copy-edits, on average, and this delay will skew those statistics. If not, then I apologize, and I will add the "Done" template as soon as I hear from you. Corinne ( talk) 01:09, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for
this edit. It looks like
User:Jonesey95/AutoEd/unnamed.js is incorrectly flagging the |vol=
parameter on {{
cite court}}, which doesn't support |volume=
. Would you mind correcting the script? There's an
overhaul in the works that will introduce |volume=
, but |vol=
should still be considered valid. Thanks! –

💬
20:44, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
|vol=
to |volume=
. {{
Cite court}} currently supports only |vol=
, so my script would break the citation. Two straightforward solutions would be to add |volume=
as an alias for |vol=
in {{
cite court}} (paging
SMcCandlish for a quick fix) or to modify my regex so that {{
cite court}} is excluded from the search portion of the regex. –
Jonesey95 (
talk)
21:18, 17 November 2015 (UTC){{cite something}}
except {{
cite court}}
. The second, your old rule tweaked a bit, finds {{
citation}}
:
str = str.replace(/({{\s*[cC]ite (?!court)(?:[^}{]*(?:\{\{[^}{]*}}[^}{]*)*))\|\s*vol\s*=/gi, '$1\|volume=');
str = str.replace(/({{\s*[cC]ita(?:[^}{]*(?:\{\{[^}{]*}}[^}{]*)*))\|\s*vol\s*=/gi, '$1\|volume=');
|volume=
like the rest of the citation templates. I went to go fix that, and can't know, because it's been cascade protected, and now even template-editors can't edit it. I'm skeptical that that level of protection is justified, but it's that way for now. @
Trappist the monk: Would you mind adding that parameter alias? Some of us actually never use |vol=
; I always use the full word, and it would be frustrating to have to remember that a single template in the cite family chokes on it. (Hopefully only a single one.) —

Yes, you are a terrible, terrible person. I do enjoy the userbox. I will send a screenshot off to the spawn of Satan herself. Hmmm, GoingBatty is not as terrible as you are, but the userbox does apply to them. Bgwhite ( talk) 06:16, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

That does not fix the ISBN either click on the link and even Worldcat.org does not find it, so it can't be a valid ISBN number. Can you find the right one? I couldn't. ww2censor ( talk) 11:10, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sadika, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vrbanja. 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.

Hi Jonesey,
How are you doing today? I trust you are doing fine. Could you please help with copy editing on the above article? Thanks in anticipation. Wikic¤l¤gy t@lk to M£ 12:46, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello,
Thanks for doing verification on James Stunt article. An editor has a concern that a paid editor should not remove COI tag from the article. Now that you have done verification and some copyediting, can you please resolve this tag as well by editing text you think is written in COI manner?

Thanks for your fix on Pidgin Hawaiian. Since you seem to like to clean up references, can you figure out the formatting error in Reference 31 in Harris Isbell? I haven't been able to fix it. (Changing references to single column has no effect).
Thanks, Steve

20:05, 5 December 2015 (UTC)Doh...I was trying to fix the wrong reference. Thanks. Also glad to know why the error was showing up when I hadn't noticed it before.

How come you can create articles and others can't? And what is the Guild of Copy Editors? Apparently a self-appointed 'institution' of the Wikipedia itself. Does that make it credible? Probably not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by T A Francis ( talk • contribs) 09:33, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
I usually leave the tough stuff up to you :-), but I figured this list isn't fluid like requests. However, I can't get the daily articles edited (which should be 6) to show. What the hell am I doing wrong? All the best, Mini apolis 00:17, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello Jonesey95: Enjoy the holiday season and upcoming winter solstice, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. Cheers, North America 1000 21:07, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
