Hello, I just wanted to take a moment and announce that the July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive has started, and will run for a month. Thanks for signing up. There's a special prize for most edits on the first day, in case you've got high ambitions. Enjoy! ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 04:03, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Just a question, why did your GA's get demoted and mine (from the same sock) were left alone? Was there a problem that the sock did not mention in the GAN or something else? And another thing, I've sent you an E-mail :)-- White Shadows There goes another day 19:45, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
I've replied. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 09:24, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello
I want to bring up something that has been troubling me. On the GA nominations page, the Copa Libertadores page has been ignored for a pretty long time while the main reviewers perform reviews and other subjects. I don't want to sound like a nag but other nominees (which are about a week old) have been taken faster than my nomination.
Since this is a mass message to the most frequent reviewers (I only counted four main reviewers), could you at least tell me if an article needs to be a GA before nominating it to become a FA? Or at least point me to a reviewer that could review my nomination? Thanks.

Hello, I recently had the article Road to the Multiverse copyedited by two GOCE members, as the article is currently at peer review, and I hope to get it to FA status somewhere along the line. The article recently underwent a significant expansion, which did happen before the two copyedits of the article, but I was wondering if you could give the article one last look over, in order to prevent any quarrels about grammar, spelling, etc. at peer review. The article is currently listed on the GOCE requests page, so it should count towards the July drive. Thanks. Gage ( talk) 04:33, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

How do you like the new tables on the 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 article? If you do think it is better we may be able to add it to all the chase races, which should be better than the regular season, unless you would think we should start the new table immediately.-- Nascar 1996 Contributions / Guestbook 17:30, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

![]() Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have now passed the halfway point, so here's an update. Progress Report - Progress toward the targets has been good. 751 articles out of the approximately 1,600 we would like to get completed by the end of the month were done by July 15, so we will be very close to meeting the target for volume. However, we would like to clear all of the 2008 articles from the backlog, and there are still 892 left to do. Please consider choosing one of these older articles when looking for something to copy edit. If we focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Participation Report - 95 people signed up for the July drive. This is a great result compared to May, when we had 36. However, in May only one person that signed up didn't do any copy edits, and in July only 59 of the 95 have posted any copy edits on the big board. The task may seem insurmountable but please remember that if all 95 participants copy edit just one article a day from now until the end of the month, we will eliminate 1,300 more articles from the backlog. So please consider participating at whatever level you can! All contributions are appreciated. This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa ( Talk), S Masters ( talk), and The Raptor Let's talk. |

Article of the month –
2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, new
Good Article.
The 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on June 20, 2010 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. Contested over 110 laps, it was the sixteenth race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season and the first of two road course competitions on the schedule. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Robby Gordon finished second, and Kevin Harvick, who started fourth, clinched third. Conditions were sunny at the start of the race, making the track potentially slippery. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner, but Johnson, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Kahne suffered an ill- handling car during the beginning of the race, causing him to fall to seventh by the sixth lap. Seven laps before the finish, race leader Marcos Ambrose, turned his car off to try to save fuel, but he could not refire the engine and subsequently stalled. He dropped back from the lead to sixth place with seven laps remaining, allowing Kahne to finish fourth and Jeff Gordon fifth. There were eight cautions and twelve lead changes among eight different drivers throughout the course of the race, Johnson's fourth win of the season and his first ever at Infineon. The result moved him up four spots to second in the Drivers' Championship, 140 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, nine points ahead of Toyota and forty-three ahead of Dodge, with twenty races remaining in the season.

Some contributors to the motto of the day project choose mottos that they have created or mottos that they like as their mottos to live by on the wiki. Sounds like a good idea, right? Maybe you want one? Oh, darn. You're completely stumped! You know what it wants to express, but you can't find it in your head what it actually will come out to be. Well, you can rely on the more experienced users to help you! We can create a motto, original or quoted, with any subject or message that you choose. All you have to do is go to the requests page, fill out a form, and presto! Within a day or two, you will have a custom motto, delivered to you on your talk page in the template of your choice. It's as simple as that! Simple visit WP:MOTD/MS to get your very own motto! Kayau Voting IS evil 02:37, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Some contributors to the motto of the day project choose mottos that they have created or mottos that they like as their mottos to live by on the wiki. Sounds like a good idea, right? Maybe you want one? Oh, darn. You're completely stumped! You know what it wants to express, but you can't find it in your head what it actually will come out to be. Well, you can rely on the more experienced users to help you! We can create a motto, original or quoted, with any subject or message that you choose. All you have to do is go to the requests page, fill out a form, and presto! Within a day or two, you will have a custom motto, delivered to you on your talk page in the template of your choice. It's as simple as that! Simple visit WP:MOTD/MS to get your very own motto! Kayau Voting IS evil 02:37, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
