Guild of Copy Editors July 2016 News
Hello everyone, and welcome to the July 2016 GOCE newsletter. June Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 12 through 18 June; the themes were video games and Asian geography. Of the 18 editors who signed up, 11 removed 47 articles from the backlog. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. Coordinator elections: The second tranche of Guild coordinators for 2016, who will serve a six-month term until 23:59 UTC on 31 December, have been elected. Jonesey95 remains as your drama-free Lead Coordinator, and Corinne and Tdslk are your new assistant coordinators. For her long service to the Guild, Miniapolis has been enrolled in the GOCE Hall of Fame. Thanks to everyone who voted in the election; our next scheduled one occurs in December 2016. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; self-nominations are welcome and encouraged. July Drive: Our month-long July Copy Editing Backlog Elimination Drive is now underway. Our aim is to remove articles tagged for copy-edit in April, May and June 2015, and to complete all requests on the GOCE Requests page from June 2016. The drive ends at 23:59 on 31 July 2016 (UTC). 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, Corinne and Tdlsk. |

Your input is requested about an RFC regarding Donald Trump. Here is a link directly to that RFC. The lead of that biography currently says, "Many of his statements in interviews, on Twitter, and at campaign rallies have been controversial." The RFC proposes to insert the words "or false" at the end of that sentence. Thank you in advance for participating. If you have the time, there is a second RFC at that talk page which proposes to instead add the words "or hyperbolic".Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:49, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "War of 1812". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 14 September 2016.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News
Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter. >>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<< July Drive: The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove April, May, and June 2015 from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added July 2015 (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever. August Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was sports-related articles in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. 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, Corinne and Tdlsk. |

First of all, The american revolution did not take place in Gibraltar, balearic islands, Indian ocean nor any place outside the new world, these other theaters took place in their own right unrelated to the battles of the revolution. Second, the Soviet union provided more combatants and casualties in the entire war. This is what we've been through since we've talked since British empire. Patriotism should NOT outweigh historical accuracy. If you look at other Wikipedia pages in the other languages, you'll see no regions of the old world mentioned in the article of the same topic, the english wikipedia is the only one due to historical misinterpretation.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2016 News
Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2016 GOCE newsletter. We had an October newsletter all set to go, but it looks like we never pushed the button to deliver it, so this one contains a few months of updates. We have been busy and successful! Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: Nominations are open for election of Coordinators for the first half of 2017. Please visit the election page to nominate yourself or another editor, and then return after December 15 to vote. Thanks for participating! September Drive: The September drive was fruitful. We set out to remove July through October 2015 from our backlog (an ambitious 269 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of oldest articles to just 83. We reduced our overall backlog by 97 articles, even with new copyedit tags being added to articles every day. We also handled 75% of the remaining Requests from August 2016. Overall, 19 editors recorded copy edits to 233 articles (over 378,000 words). October Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme was Requests, since the backlog was getting a bit long. Of the 16 editors who signed up, 10 editors completed 29 requests. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. November Drive: The November drive was a record-breaker! We set out to remove September through December 2015 from our backlog (239 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of old articles to just 66, eliminating the two oldest months! We reduced our overall backlog by 523 articles, to a new record low of 1,414 articles, even with new tags being added to articles every day, which means we removed copy-editing tags from over 800 articles. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from October 2016. Officially, 14 editors recorded copy edits to 200 articles (over 312,000 words), but over 600 articles, usually quick fixes and short articles, were not recorded on the drive page. Housekeeping note: we do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your Watchlist. 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, Corinne and Tdslk. |

Well, I'm sorry that you didn't make it onto the committee. But congrats on an exemplary performance. If my analysis of previous election results is correct, you are the first user that was never an admin to crack the 50% mark, which also means your performance was the best a never-sysop has achieved.

Thank you. Lakeshake (talk) 00:15, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
Seems to me that your remarks indicate your not having good terms with me. Before I say something about you, have I done anything wrong? --George Ho (talk) 06:22, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
Speaking of titles, I asked one of Arbitrators about an ArbCom case. Should I ask one of Arbs directly, or shall I go to WP:ARCA? George Ho (talk) 02:47, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
I want to do something about this title: Something's Gotta Give (song). However, I am doing my best to tone down requests. How many open RM discussions at a time shall I retain? George Ho (talk) 02:30, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Calidum,
You undid my contribution on the Great Seal of the Realm.
Can you please explain your reason?
The Great Seal of the Realm was not the Great Seal of England prior to the Union. The Great Seal of the Realm was the Great Seal of Great Britain. The Great Seal of England was the Great Seal of the Kingdom of England and the Great Seal of Scotland was the Great Seal of the Kingdom of Scotland. The Great Seal of the Realm was the Great Seal of both Scotland and England. It is a paradox situation as both Scotland and England were separate Kingdoms but part of the same Realm.
Meenmore (talk) 08:33, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
The previous lead paragraph is inconsistent with ANNA DEI GRATIA MAGNÆ BRITANNIÆ FRANCIÆ ET HIBERNIÆ REGINA FID[EI] DEFENSOR Anne, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith. The Great Seal of the Realm was called ANNA DEI GRATIA MAGNÆ BRITANNIÆ FRANCIÆ ET HIBERNIÆ REGINA FID[EI] DEFENSOR. The claim that the Great Seal of the Realm was the Great Seal of England is contrary to the actual content of the Great Seal of the Realm of that era. I suggest we both edit my contribution to reach a proper lead paragraph. Meenmore (talk) 16:13, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
I am from the United Kingdom. You are from the United States. I suggest we both edit my contribution to reach a proper lead paragraph. The lead paragraph is inconsistent with the body of the article. You believe the Great Seal of the Realm was the Great Seal of England prior to the Treaty and Acts of Union. This belief is incorrect, the Great Seal of the Realm was the Great Seal of Great Britain prior to the Treaty of Union. It is a paradox situation. The Realm included both the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England. The Realm was known as Great Britain. Meenmore (talk) 02:06, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

I mentioned about your behavior on ANI but I specifically asked readers to ignore the person, just comment on the behavior. FYI. Lakeshake (talk) 21:32, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Calidum. I'm leaving you this note because I had to perform a manual reversion of your edit to User talk:DrKay. Deleting other users' comments on someone else's talk page is contrary to WP:TPG#EDIT and is specifically covered in WP:NOBAN with a reference to the aforementioned guideline. If you think that the user is canvassing or "extorting" someone, you are welcome to file a case at WP:ANI. Censoring somebody else's talk page is not the appropriate response. Please let me know if you have any questions! AlexEng(TALK) 22:10, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply at ANI, where I posted a note saying I now understand where you were coming from. Alls well, carry on NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 02:31, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

I don't know what to do about Tanpopo (band), Tanpopo (disambiguation), and Tampopo (film) without being bold. I have an urge to move boldly and then do the RMs. However, I can't without discussing this with you. Look at stats. Seems that 'm' and 'n' is distinguishable enough, no?
Also, Tampopo/Tanpopo is not the only case. Look at the page move In ictu oculi causes. I don't know how much cleanup I can make. I tried talking to him, but he personally made a comment about me at my user talk page and told me that he doesn't want to collaborate with me. I don't know whether to take this to ANI or AN, but my reputation is on the line. I have to be cautious about my next move. I tried Ss112, but he sounded almost reluctant to take this to ANI and to talk to IIO. What else shall I do?
On the note, I don't think IIO means any harm. I don't think IIO was exactly harmful to the project. Maybe he needs to be careful also. --George Ho (talk) 19:08, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
Wait... I have a thought. What if I can take this to WT:WPDAB? They can handle the situation, right? George Ho (talk) 20:16, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

I want to discuss the redirect page "Politics of Taiwan" at RFD. I'm planning to retarget it to History of Taiwan. However, if I take this to RFD, would I reignite the the China/Taiwan vs. official name debate? Shall I propose this? --George Ho (talk) 10:07, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
