Hello, Qwerfjkl,
Regarding this CFD you closed, a lot of these categories turned up on the Empty Categories List. Should they be deleted? Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 01:10, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
With very lightly populated categories, you may consider editing the articles one by one to manually implement the changes according to closure. After the category is empty you may then tag the category page with {{db-xfd|votepage=Log/2022_October_2}} but with the proper (re)listing date of the nomination (see WP:G6). Just a suggestion. Liz or another admin will delete thus tagged pages within hours rather than within days. Marcocapelle ( talk) 21:10, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
I see you proposed the renaming of a category to the above title - could I ask you to sort out another renaming - without the double "the" in the middle. Thank you - Arjayay ( talk) 22:41, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to our latest newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since October. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. Blitz: Our October Copy Editing Blitz focused on July and August 2022 request months; and articles tagged for c/e in December 2021 and January 2022. Seventeen of those who signed up claimed at least one copy-edit, and between them copy-edited forty-six articles. Barnstars awarded are here. Drive: In the November Backlog Elimination Drive, thirty editors signed up, twenty-two of whom claimed at least one copy-edit. Both target months—December 2021 and January 2022—were cleared, and February was added to the target months. Sixteen requests were copy-edited and 239 articles were removed from the backlog. Barnstars awarded are here. Blitz: Our seven-day-long December 2022 Copy Editing Blitz begins on 17 December at 00:01 (UTC)*. It will focus on articles tagged for copy-edit in February 2022, and pending requests from September and October. Barnstars awarded will be available here. Progress report: As of 22:40, 8 December 2022, GOCE copyeditors have processed 357 requests since 1 January, there were seventy-four requests outstanding and the backlog stands at 1,791 articles. We always need skilled copy-editors; please help out if you can. Election news: Nomination of candidates for the GOCE's Election of Coordinators for the first half of 2023 is open and continues until 23:59 on 15 December. Voting begins at 00:01 on 16 December and closes at 23:59 on 31 December. All editors in good standing (not under ArbCom or community sanctions) are eligible and self-nominations are welcomed. Coordinators serve a six-month term that ends at 23:59 on June 30. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, please nominate yourself or any editor you consider suitable—with their permission, of course!. It's your Guild and it doesn't coordinate itself. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers and best seasonal wishes from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis, Tenryuu, and Zippybonzo. *All times and dates on this newsletter are UTC.

Saw where you posted a review.
Kudos on seeming to be honest and sincere in your request for feedback.
Best advice I can give: make certain you are wearing your thick skin.
People can and sometimes do, say whatever they want. And everyone comes to these things from their own perspectives.
This is the reverse of CfD - there ir's comment on the content, not the editor - here, you are the "content".
Just remember that you are there merely asking for their free advice. And sometimes, what you receive is about worth what you paid for it : )
Just stay civil and remember that there's no law that you need to respond to rude people either.
If you're still interested in it, just follow the process along.
One last note: If you ever go for the real thing, please drop me a note - since I've requested it, it's not convassing : )
I hope this helps, and that you're having an awesome day : ) - jc37 02:26, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
I just wanted to leave a friendly note that editors at ORCP tend to be quite harsh in order to prepare you for the level of criticism you will face at RfA, as the arguments are largely going to be the same. Take their advice to heart and don't be too dissuaded by it! Curbon7 ( talk) 07:37, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines.— Qwerfjkl talk 17:00, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Most of the redirects to CTC (TV station) are actually {{ R from former name}} in the mentioned article and not {{ R from alternative name}}. These are Capital 7, Capital Television (Canberra), 10 TV Australia Canberra, Ten Capital, Southern Cross Ten Canberra, 10 Capital and Southern Cross 9 Canberra. 10 Canberra is the only actual {{ R from alternative name}} targeting CTC (TV station) because 10 Canberra is CTC’s LCN name in Canberra. I want you to fix this once and for all. From Bas. Bassie f ( talk) 22:03, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
