Guild of Copy Editors December 2021 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the December GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since September 2021. Current and upcoming events
Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC). Voting opens at 00:01 the following day and will continue until 31 December at 23:59, just before "Auld Lang Syne". Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now! Drive and Blitz reports
September Drive: Almost 400,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 27 people who signed up, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. October Blitz: From 17 to 23 October, we copy edited articles tagged in May and June 2021 and requests. 8 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. November Drive: Over 350,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 21 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. Other news
It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community. Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

The file File:Flag of the Universal Triumvirate.svg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Orphaned file with no obvious value in transferring to Commons
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated files))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated files))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Salavat (talk) 13:46, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

I have to admit I wasn't aware of speedy redirecting protocol regarding drafts when I started the MfD—I had thought of redirecting before I started the MfD, but ultimately went the latter route because I was under the impression that cross-namespace redirects were undesirable. I was actually about to close it myself just now; I'd meant to a day or two ago, but I got busy and it slipped my mind. --Dylan620 (he/him · talk · edits) 02:24, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

on reply) 03:54, 26 December 2021 (UTC)The 2021 re-examination of RFA has been completed. 23 (plus 2 variants) ideas were proposed. Over 200 editors participated in this final phase. Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular Primefac, Lee Vilenski, and Ymblanter for closing the most difficult conversations and for TonyBallioni for closing the review of one of the closes.
The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented:
Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?Special thanks to xaosflux for help with implementation.
The following proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration:
Editors who wish to discuss these ideas or other ideas on how to try to address any of the six issues identified during phase 1 for which no proposal gained are encouraged to do so at RFA's talk page or an appropriate village pump.
A final and huge thanks all those who participated in this effort to improve our RFA process over the last 4 months.
This is the final update with no further talk page messages planned.

Hi, I am writing here because of a particular comment you made in respect to myself and which I consider to be a mischaracterisation: I don't really see the appeal of this refutation as it didn't address how this potentially massive issue will be resolved and just proposed other people doing more work to fix the template issues.
As an aside, I did not create the section on "Template issues". Another made this a separate section.
I am not familiar with the language or syntax of templates, this is potentially an opportunity to improve the templates[and fix the existing problem of redlinks]. I am not sufficiently familiar with the language or syntax to fix the existing problem. The quote has been taken out of its the fuller context. It is being used in a way that (to my mind) is inconsistent with the original context (ie it has been misrepresented). I don't see this to be far from misquoting another. That is a matter of civility. Furthermore,
... as it didn't address how this potentially massive issue will be resolved and just proposed other people doing more work to fix the template issues.I did actually address a fix for the issue without changing the templates. To my mind, the quoted statement from the close appears to be making a negative personal judgement (an aspersion) which is compounded by a misrepresentation and a false "fact".
I would ask that you reconsider what you have said in the close (that part which particularly applies to me) and make a remedy to that which I identify as a misrepresentation and a judgement. I am not asking that you change the substance of your close but only address the "quote" and the "judgement". Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 01:59, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
((reply to|Chess))
on reply) 07:51, 7 January 2022 (UTC)However, this issue is easily remedied by ensuring there are redirects from the "assumed" article title format to the "actual" article title. I believe this already occurred for Wimbledon tennis championships that used "ladies" and "gentlemen" instead of "men's" and "women's" for titles. It is a simple solution to what might otherwise be perceived as a near insurmountable problem. Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 10:59, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
The templates can also be modified to use the new patterns where needed. Currently have the over-capitalization assumption built in, but that's not hard to fix.
The issue is not a matter of parsing that is reliant on a dashed construction. Secondly, these templates are not the ducks nuts. Specifically, they create red-links for titles played for that don't appear to exist - such as invitation or masters titles.
... didn't address how this potentially massive issue will be resolved .... This is not an issue with you close but an issue of civility. Cinderella157 (talk) 11:18, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
((reply to|Chess))
on reply) 10:56, 8 January 2022 (UTC)... [it/they] just proposed other people doing more work to fix the template issues.That sounds to me like a personal judgement is being made. It is premised by:
it didn't address how this potentially massive issue will be resolved- an incorrect statement. I never said that templates were simple. I said that they weren't "smart". I also said that there was a simple solution to the issue of templates - one that was already being used when an article title didn't match what the template expects. I don't care whether the close concludes that the solution of using redirects is good or bad. I don't particularly care about what the close concludes about the issue of templates or even if the close accurately reflects the discussion in that respect. The quote being relied upon is about improving some existing problems with the templates if there is a choice to change them. I have certainly not insisted that templates be change - indeed, the opposite. Per WP:IUC,
quoting another editor out of context to give the impression they said something they didn't saycan be/is an uncivil behaviour. I do take exception to what I see as a personal judgement premised on an incorrect statement and a quote taken out of context. Cinderella157 (talk) 05:47, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

In a process that began last year with WP:DS2021, the Arbitration Committee is evaluating Discretionary Sanctions (DS) in order to improve it. A larger package of reforms is slated for sometime this year. From the work done so far, it became clear a number of areas may no longer need DS or that some DS areas may be overly broad.
The topics proposed for revocation are:
The topics proposed for a rewording of what is covered under DS are:
Additionally any Article probation topics not already revoked are proposed for revocation.
Community feedback is invited and welcome at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Motions. --Barkeep49 (talk) 16:59, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
