M: I'm happy to be lead coordinator unless you want to do it for a while. I mainly wanted to make it clear that I do not feel ownership of the position, despite having sat in the chair for many terms, and that if someone else has the desire, I am happy to step aside. I am open to your thoughts. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 04:21, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Here's hoping I don't misuse the tools. I'll confess yesterday I drove the bus right up to the edge of the crater, clicked on "edit this page" on the mainpage, and sure enough, if I'd been a troublemaker could have deleted the page and run off. But I'm just the boring fellow who will step back from the abyss and spit. Thanks so much for your support. Please call on me. BusterD ( talk) 21:03, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
I just noticed that you added a copyvio tag to the article Parwan Detention Facility and noticed that much of it was copy pasted from https://web.archive.org/web/20150324191653/https://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/11/world/asia/parwan-prison-at-bagram-transferred-to-afghans-at-least-formally.html. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-19544118 https://web.archive.org/web/20190403165300/https://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/06/world/asia/us-will-hold-part-of-afghan-prison-after-handover.html and possibly other sources Thepharoah17 ( talk) 17:13, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
Welcome, subscribers, to the sixth Discontent Content newsletter! Discontent Content is a newsletter aiming to collate and improve Wikipedia articles in need of more eyes and hands to get them in shape. Its unique trimodal structure allows editors to work where they feel comfortable -- with stubs and starts needing to be brought to standard, mid-quality articles with Good or Featured potential, or quality-assessed articles needing help to maintain their status. Articles in this category are those that need to be brought up to a minimum quality standard. Some will be stubs; others will be longer articles that nonetheless have significant concerns putting them far below B- or C-class adequacy. This issue's Category 1 articles are:
Articles in this category, while in better current shape than Category 1, are still missing something. They have the potential to be truly high-quality content, and may have been at one point. With work, they can be brought up to dizzying heights. This issue's Category 2 articles are:
Articles in this category have been assessed through a content review process in the past, but may require work to be brought up to current GA/FA standard. Editors can help bring them to a level where the star or plus near their names can once again shine. This issue's Category 3 articles are:
After my prior thoughts on GA sweeps and their viability, work is beginning to break down what parts of the backlog can be tackled. Planning is beginning at User:Vaticidalprophet/GA reform and its talk; feel free to give your opinion, participate in current GARs, and assess articles. The current plan is to look at GAs with outstanding cleanup tags as our first priority. Sorry for the delay this time around -- I've been having A Month healthwise. I expect to maintain this at an approximately monthly schedule and will try not to let it slip further. I'm enthused by the work going on at GAR lately and hope to work something excellent out of it. |
