NOTICE: '''I edit almost exclusively on highly contentious topics''' and have managed to do so without quitting or incurring sanction for over fifteen years. I have skin as thick as a rhino and the determination of a [[pit bull]]. I You may not like my edits but threats of adverse action are prima facie ridiculous because I follow policy and try to be considerate. I recommend that you do so as well. 

If you are intending to correct my editing the default location is the talk page of the pertinent article and you may wish to "pinge" me if you wish to invite my comment or participation. I usually watch a good number of pages and might not get to the relevant edit as rapidly if you do not do so. You may also use a talk back template to direct discussion onto your own Talk Page at your option. Please note that I have been around for quite a few years and have managed to stay out of trouble so threats to ANI me because I have violated your sense of [[WP:IDONTLIKEIT]] are not likely to be efficacious. However, if you think that you have collected enough grievances feel free to take it to ANI. I suggest you familiarize yourself first with the concept of [[WP:BOOMERANG]] as the sysops are really too busy to waste time with whiners who are [[WP:NOTHERE]]
== Special interests==

I line [[WP:RSN]] at the moment as there are significant issues on coverage of the [[2014 Russian intervention in Ukraine]] [[War in Donbass]] which IMHO go to the core of Wikipedia philosophy. I am also interested in [[epidemiology]], [[virology]], [[zoological]] [[pathology]][[United States Navy]] [[USAF]] and related topics. 
== welcome == 



'''Welcome! I will be down for the holiday but be assured back editing with a vengeance in 2011. Please bear with me and be constructive with edits to my work in progress. I will check occasionally during the inter-semester break. Our university is shutting down and until I buy a new laptop I am disabled from intensive editing. '''

Due to insertion under existing section, tildes did not create a signature on the above entry. Interesting approach, but you did not address my concerns.

For the record: History shows that the above was NOT who I thought it was:

Greetings from the [[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012|March 2012 Backlog elimination drive]]! Here's the mid-drive newsletter.</br>

'''Participation''':
We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012#Participants|Join us]]!

'''Progress report''':
Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far.

'''Special thanks''':
Special thanks to [[User:Stfg|Stfg]], who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.

Your drive coordinators – [[User:Diannaa|Dianna]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]), [[User:Stfg|Stfg]] ([[User talk:Stfg|talk]]), and [[User:Dank|Dank]] ([[User talk:Dank|talk]]){{center|1=<p><small>To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Mailing List|our mailing list]].</small></p>}}

Greetings from the [[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012|March 2012 Backlog elimination drive]]! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter.</br>

'''Participation'''

Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to '''[[User:Lfstevens|Lfstevens]]''', who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months.

'''Progress report'''

During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012/Barnstars|here]].

When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{tp|GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators.

Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

*'''Participation''': Out of 37 people signed up for this drive so far, 19 have copy-edited at least one article, about the same as the last drive.

*'''Progress report''': We're almost on track to meet our targets for the drive. Great work, guys. We have reduced our target group of articles—August, September, and October 2011—by about 44%, and the overall backlog has been reduced by 58 articles so far, to around 2600 articles.  The biggest difference between this drive and the previous one is a stronger focus on large articles, so total word counts are still comparable.
*Don't forget about the Copy Edit of the Month contests!  Voting for the August contest has been extended through the end of the month.  '''You don't have to make a submission to vote!'''

'''Progress report:''' We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September.

'''Copy Edit of the Month''': Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Copy Edit of the Month/September 2012|September 2012 contest]] is closed for submissions and open for voting. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Copy Edit of the Month/October 2012|October 2012 contest]] is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote.

Runner up was [[User:Gareth Griffith-Jones|Gareth Griffith-Jones]] for his edit of [[I Could Fall in Love]]. Congratulations to both.

*'''Seasonal oversight''': We had a slight fall from grace in the title of our last newletter, which mentioned the season in the northern hemisphere and thus got it wrong for the southern. Fortunately an observant GOCE member was ready to spring into action to advise us. Thanks! In future we'll stay meteorologically neutral.

== Respiratory fluids ==

[[User talk:Wikidgood|Wikidgood]] Thanks for the fast action. I was thinking the safest wording, as a disambiguationist rather than as a medical science expert, would be "microbes" "bacteria" "bacilli" "antigen" rather than respiratory fluids but I suppose I can live with it. The MTB is embedded in them. But I wonder if in some cases bacteria may be embedded in oral mucosa rather than respiratory fluid?[[User:Wikidgood|Wikidgood]] ([[User talk:Wikidgood#top|talk]]) 01:16, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

*'''Participation''': Out of 30 people who have signed up for this drive so far, 18 have participated. If you have signed up for the drive but have not yet participated, it isn't too late. If you haven't signed up for the drive, sign up now!
[[File:We Can Do It!.jpg|100px|right]]

*'''Progress report''': Thus far we have reduced the number of May/June 2012 articles to just 124 articles, so we're on the right track. Unfortunately, for the first time in GOCE history, the number of articles in the backlog has actually gone up during this drive. While all participants are currently doing a fine job, we just don't have as many of them as we have had in the past.  We have over 500 editors on our mailing list, but only 18 editors who have done a copy edit for the drive. If you're receiving this newsletter, it's because you have an interest in copy editing. Join the drive! Even if you only copy edit one article, it helps.  Imagine how much progress we could make if everyone chipped in just one article.

{| style="background-color: #dfeff3; border: 4px solid #bddff2; width:100%" cellpadding="5"

|<big>'''December Notes from the [[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]]'''</big>
----
[[File:Writing Magnifying.PNG|100px|right]]
The '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2013|December blitz]]''' ran from December 8–14.  The theme for this blitz was articles tied in some way to religion.  Seven editors knocked out 20 articles over the course of the week.  Our next blitz will be in February, with a theme to be determined.  Feel free to make theme suggestions at the [[WT:GOCE|Guild talk page]]!

The '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2014|January 2014 Backlog elimination drive]]''' is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in October and November 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2013. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in October and November 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there!

----
[[File:Writing Magnifying.PNG|100px|right]]

The '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2014|March 2014 backlog elimination drive]]''' is a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles in need of copyediting. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copyedit all articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and to complete all [[WP:GOCE/REQ|requests]] placed in January 2014. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copyedits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: number of articles, number of words, number of articles over 5,000 words, number of articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and the longest article. We hope to see you there!

==Hitler==
::What edit warring? One deletion isn't "warring". re "the first sentence is nonsensical": The first sentence ''was'' nonsensical. There's nothing snide in that. It said "In popular culture, generates a high level of controversy". In popular culture ''what'' generates a high level of controversy? Hitler? Portrayals of Hitler? And, no, I don't really think Hitler is "controversial", nor are most portrayals of him. Controversy implies differing viewpoints, but the mainstream view of Hitler is fairly settled and uncontroversial. ''Other'' people can become controversial when they say something positive about him - e.g [[Louis Farrakhan]]. [[User:Paul Barlow|Paul B]] ([[User talk:Paul Barlow|talk]]) 09:49, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
: It was an obvious typo, written on a dark keyboard while waiting for my train. The underlying point was not nonsense and the proper thing to do would be to correct the typo. Odd that you would not think that portrayals of Adolph Hitler have historically generated controversy. You are entitled to disagree if you think that cultural appearances of Hitler are never the object of conroversy, but per the citations at least some secondary sources have written on it. And it seems that you admit that controversy developes around the Hitler motif so why not modify it accordingly - I think that point is well taken on your part, and I have already said that I agree that the line needs modification. But unfortunately as per the "addiction" refered to on your User page, I believe, you are in these delete-rather-than-improve mode which is a common problkem on WP and which is against the guidelines if not indeed policies. So now that we have had our little go to on the matter I would say that you have the right idea about improving the line I am sure if you implemented your modification there would be some good support and at worst a BRD discussion. It seems rather obvious that Hitler sparks controversy -even this thread is part of the spinoff from his legacy of Kriegschaft; to note that in a phrase or sentence is really more a matter of framing the article since almost everyone on the planet has heard pro and con regarding the ever-controversial Chancellor of the notorious Third Reich. BTW I appreciate the phot on your User page quite a step above the usual. Cheers.[[User:Wikidgood|Wikidgood]] ([[User talk:Wikidgood#top|talk]]) 23:38, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

::If you check my talk page you will see that my views do seem to be shared by other editors. It was far from clear what you intended to say in the first sentence. ''Some'' portrayals of Hitler have been controversial, but very few considering how many there are. Some portrayals of Churchill or Roosevelt have been controversial. Mixing up controversial portrayals with controversy about the person indicates confused thinking. Your other comments about my "delete-rather-than-improve mode" indicate utter ignorance.

:::: If in retrospectively you wish to continue to edit on HIV, AIDS and other disease, epidemiology and virology articles you will find that I am active on many of them and if you wish to participate in editing on those pages you will have to participate in collaborative discussions including ones which involve differences of opinion.

== Off the LEASH? ==
 RE: HIV infection is already implied in AIDS - it's like referring to mammals and primates or to humans and women.

Nope. The cause of a consequence is not equivalent to the relationship of genera and subspecie. 

Also, there are other forms of immune deficiency including SIV. ALso, there are HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 syndromes. That is why I do NOT actually oppose use of the term HIVAIDS at all, just, IMO, it is not the ideal title for the article. Every other WMF project agrees with me on that. [[User:Wikidgood|Wikidgood]] ([[User talk:Wikidgood#top|talk]])

::Yes, I agree that HIV ''infection'' can be seen as a different category of thing to HIV, AIDS and HIV/AIDS.

::HIV is a ''virus'', an type of infectious particle. AIDS is a ''disease'', an abnormal bodily state. HIV/AIDS is also the name of a ''disease'', one that incorporates both AIDS and also non-AIDS HIV disease. I would see an ''infection'' as distinct from a disease semantically speaking, but in the discussion on the talk page, HIV infection was being used as a direct synonym for HIV disease, and I was continuing that usage.

::That blurring of the distinction between an ''infection'' (a type of interaction between a microbe and a host) and a ''disease'' (a type of abnormal bodily state) is precisely why I don't like HIV/AIDS to be defined as "Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome": ''Disease = Infection + Subset of Disease'' makes no sense semantically. If you were going to expand the acronym HIV/AIDS you'd need to say something like "Acquired immune deficiency syndrome and also other disease states resulting from human immunodeficiency virus infection" or ''Disease = Subset of disease + all the other subsets of the disease''. Personally, I don't think HIV/AIDS can be expanded this way, not without a lot of awkwardness anyway.

::I'm not sure what you are getting at when you say, "there are other forms of immune deficiency including SIV. ALso, there are HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 syndromes". There are many different immune system diseases, including acquired and primary immunodeficiency diseases. HIV/AIDS is only one of those, albeit one of the most common.

'''Drive:''' Thanks to everyone who participated in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2014|'''November's Backlog Elimination Drive''']]. Of the 43 people who signed up for this drive, 26 copy edited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2014/Barnstars|'''here''']].

'''Progress report:''' The November Drive removed 26 requests from the Requests page and 509 articles from the {{tl|copy edit}} backlog. We copy edited 83 articles tagged in the target months; July, August, and September 2013. Together with tag removals from articles unsuitable for copy editing, we eliminated July 2013 from the backlog and reduced August and September's tags to 61 and 70 respectively. As of  01:01, 1 December 2014 (UTC), the backlog stood at 1,974 articles, dipping below 2,000 for the first time in the Guild's history (see graph at right). Well done everyone!

'''Blitz''': The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2014|'''December Blitz''']] will run from December 14–20  and will focus on articles related to '''Religion''', in recognition of this month's religious holidays in much of the English-speaking world. Awards will be given out to everyone who copy edits at least one of the target articles. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/December_2014#Signing_up|'''Sign up here''']]!

'''Election time again:''' The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2015|'''election of coordinators''']] to serve from 1 January to 30 June 2015 is now underway. Candidates can nominate themselves or others from December 01, 00:01 (UTC), until December 15, 23:59. The voting period will run from December 16, 00:01 (UTC), until December 31, 23:59. You can read about coordinators' duties [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators|here]]. Please consider getting involved and remember to cast you vote{{mdash}}it's '''your''' Guild and it doesn't organize itself!

Hello everyone, welcome to the June 2016 GOCE newsletter. It's been a few months since we sent one out; we hope y'all haven't forgotten about the Guild! Your coordinators have been busy behind the scenes as usual, though real life has a habit of reducing our personal wiki-time. The May backlog reduction drive, the usual coordinating tasks and preparations for the June election are keeping us on our toes!  

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2016|May drive]]:''' Thanks to everyone who participated in last month's record-setting backlog reduction drive. Of the 29 people who signed up, 16 copyedited at least one article, 197 copyedits were recorded on the drive page, and the copyedit backlog fell below 1,500 for the first time! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2016/Barnstars|'''here''']].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2016|June Blitz]]''': this one-week copy-editing blitz will occur from 12 June through 18 June; the themes will be '''video games''' and '''Asian geography'''.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2016/2|Coordinator elections]]''':
It's election time again; how quickly they seem to roll around! '''Nominations''' for the next tranche of Guild coordinators, who will serve a six-month term that begins at 00:01 UTC on 1 July and ends at 23:59 UTC on 31 December, opens at 00:01 UTC on 1 June and closes at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. '''Voting''' takes place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. If you'd like to assist behind the scenes, please consider stepping forward; self-nominations are welcomed and encouraged. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; remember it's '''your''' Guild, and it doesn't run itself!

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Miniapolis}} and {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}.

After a long hiatus, I recovered the email account linked hereto and voila! None of the drama associated with pleas to the administrators for special handling were needed. The hash posted from the IP is indeed valid and here, logged in, I hereby affirm such. A hash, by the way, is a good way to document your identity while logged in as it is a one-way encodation of any [[string]] such as your name. You can always prove it is yours but no one can read it and tell who you are. It works (hashes, that is)on material objects which you may wish to claim but prefer not to put your name on.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter. 

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2016|>>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<<]]

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2016|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. 

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2016|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/August_2016/Barnstars|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: {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Corinne}} and {{noping|Tdlsk}}.

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!

{{center|[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2016|>>> Sign up for the December Blitz! <<<]]}}

'''Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017''': Nominations are open for '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2017/1|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!

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2016|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). 

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/October 2016|October Blitz]]''': this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme was '''[[WP:GOCER|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/October_2016/Barnstars|here]]. Thanks to all editors who took part.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2016|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 '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Ombox|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: {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Corinne}} and {{noping|Tdslk}}.

== December 2016 ==
/Graphic Removed//Your recent editing history  shows that you are currently engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|BRD]] for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]].  In some cases, you may wish to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]]. 

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in your being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''&mdash;especially if you violate the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor must not perform more than three [[Help:Reverting|reverts]] on a single page within a 24-hour period.  Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert.  Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;'''even if you don't violate the three-revert rule'''&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-3rr --> [[User:Niteshift36|Niteshift36]] ([[User talk:Niteshift36|talk]]) 04:17, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

: You are the one who is edit-warring and over-reverting. Your use of the fancy template does not change that fact. I notice that you also sanitized your own user page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Niteshift36&action=history[[User:Wikidgood|Wikidgood]] ([[User talk:Wikidgood#top|talk]]) 04:21, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
::You are subject to the 3RR as well.  And no, I didn't "sanitize" my page, I removed your edit, just like I do with a majority of the edits made on my page, even my own. [[User:Niteshift36|Niteshift36]] ([[User talk:Niteshift36|talk]]) 04:27, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
::: OK, I'll accept that. It is your page you can do as you wish. I think you posted just as I was posting the following. Let's cool it for a while this will look kind of pointless tommorow 

My post to your talk page

" Thank you.[[User:Wikidgood|Wikidgood]] ([[User talk:Wikidgood#top|talk]]) 04:29, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
I appreciate slowing the tempo a bit. Let's take another look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BOLD,_revert,_discuss_cycle Thanks again.Wikidgood (talk) 04:26, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
:*I know what I removed. Again, I seriously suggest you read [[WP:LEAD]] and see the difference between the lede you're thinking of and the lead Wikipedia uses. [[User:Niteshift36|Niteshift36]] ([[User talk:Niteshift36|talk]]) 04:32, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
:: I am through with that discussion. Please comment on the proposed template removal in the article. I am likely to concur with your view or whatever everybody else thinks. You have a lot of WP expertise there is no need to beat the crap out my every prosecutable possible mis-statement & prove yourself right/superior/dominant or whatever. You do want to serve the process of doing BLP justice to Dr Ben Carson, correct? Let's do that thing man enough of this intramural bitching. Please,just let it go man. [[User:Wikidgood|Wikidgood]] ([[User talk:Wikidgood#top|talk]]) 04:46, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
:*Well, it's a bit tough to get back my good faith when you not only told me how wrong I was, ''you even told me I was misspelling it''. Turns out, I wasn't wrong. Simply saying something like "oh, my bad. I didn't realize there was a difference" would be the right thing to do, but apparently that's not in your toolbox.  For the record, I'm not a Trump supporter, nor did I vote for Carson. I'm a conservative and I don't consider Trump to be a true conservative. [[User:Niteshift36|Niteshift36]] ([[User talk:Niteshift36|talk]]) 04:53, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

== Factual error. ==

You wrote "You then come in, see a template on my page, see nothing on his, since he deleted them...".[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ABen_Carson&type=revision&diff=753985016&oldid=753983636] First, I am not stupid. If I check someone's talk pages for templates I check for deleted templates as well. Second, I never checked either of your talk pages for anything. Try not to make factually incorrect claims, OK?

You also wrote "If a rigged administrative process or any blocks are put in place, the whole matter may be referred to the press and/orUS[sic] congressional committee persons as suppression of public dialogue so any admins please think long and hard before any bossy blocks or annoying and uneeded[sic] administrative processes."[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ABen_Carson&type=revision&diff=753985016&oldid=753983636] I would strongly advise that you stop engaging in threatening behavior. It won't prevent you from being blocked if you continue to disrupt the encyclopedia. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 06:00, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

:I believe you regarding that you did not check the talk pages but that just shows that you were unaware of the progress that had been made. And your use of the term "threatening behavior" is repehensible since YOU are the one who is threatening ME. If you illicitly block me I have every right to complain and if legitimate RS is blocked on WP that is something I have every right to express to my Congressman before he votes. How dare you accuse me of "disrupting the encyclopedia". There is no merit to that. My edits were constructive and a self-described conservative Republican obstructed them out of a fear that Dr. Ben Carson would be disadvantaged. You took the bait. The proof is that you suggested that I make specific constructive suggestions to improve the article after I had already done so and was engaged in constuctive progress with the other editor. You then claimed I was "edit warring". Are you an admin? Please so state.[[User:Wikidgood|Wikidgood]] ([[User talk:Wikidgood#top|talk]]) 06:17, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

::I am not an admin. I have turned down several offers to run for adminship. If I was an admin, It would not matter, because any blocks would have to come from another admin; see [[WP:INVOLVED]]. '''EDIT WARRING IS DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR.''' Both of you edit warred, both of you engaged in disruptive behavior. The only question is whether both of you will stop edit warring now that I have warned you or whether I need to call in an admin to stop one or more of you from making further edits without consensus. And by the way, watch yourself on the consensus issue; I have already caught you twice claiming that there was agreement on something only to have another editor say that they never agreed. Just post your proposed changes on the talk page and ask whether anyone objects, OK? That way there will be no misunderstanding or dispute about whether there is or is not consensus. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 06:34, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
::: You are wrong on several counts. You did not "catch" me. There was consensus on the issue of appointed/nominated. Don't be accusing me this way. You have personally KILLED my new interest in happy editing on WP. You owe me an apology. You owe me a clarification of which edit you called "edit warring". That one? I haad made several edits thereafter, without incident. Who made you the boss of WP? I have been on WP as long as you and never been threatened like this. You were disrupting because Nite and I had worked out our differences and we had proceeded to dialogue on two other threads. If you don't back pedal and convince me I conclude that (1) writers are better off almost anywhere than WP, (2) disrespect is routine on WP. FYI Nite refered to me as a troll on the comments of his own user page where he deleted a polite text warning. He called me a troll because I wanted to put RS into the article. He is a gun-promoting conservative Republican who is jealously guarding the WP on Ben Carson in hopes of suppressing the copious embarassing facts of record in his bio. Nevertheless we were proceding on a cooperative basis and then you came in and started threatening blocks/sanctions etc. (3) WP is incapable of providing up to date information because people like Nite will try to slow down unfavorable information from appearing in the encyclopedia and (4) they will get away with it, in many cases. Eventually, things get sorted out but that does not work on breaking news. (5) What we used to refer to as "breaking news" is now basic info that should be in the encyclopedia. (6) The only cure is a new level of rationality and civilty which is not likely to appear on WP anytime soon. Prove me wrong. [[User:Wikidgood|Wikidgood]] ([[User talk:Wikidgood#top|talk]]) 07:07, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
::*Actually, I referred to your edit on my page as "troll droppings" because it's pretty funny to see you warn me about the 3RR when you'd already done the same thing. I never called you a troll for wanting to add a RS. But you are not that skilled at spotting reliable sources and just because something is said in a RS doesn't mean it automatically gets included. What does my support of the US Constitution have to do with this discussion? And I've already made it clear that I didn't support Trump or Carson. Wikipedia is [[WP:NOTNEWS|not in the breaking news business]], especially when it comes t BLP's. Why ask anyone to prove you wrong? You don't admit when you are proven wrong.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the February 2017 GOCE newsletter. The Guild has been busy since the last time your coordinators sent out a newsletter!

{{center|<big>[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2017|>>> Sign up for the March Drive! <<<]]</big>}}

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2016|December blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 December; the themes were '''[[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''' and eliminating the November 2015 backlog. Of the 14 editors who signed up, nine editors completed 29 articles. Barnstars and rollover totals are located [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/December_2016/Barnstars|here]]. Thanks to all who took part.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2017|January drive]]''': The January drive was a great success. We set out to remove '''December 2015 and January and February 2016''' from our backlog (195 articles), and by 22 January we had cleared those and had to add a third month (March 2016). At the end of the month we had almost cleared out that last month as well, for a total of 180 old articles removed from the backlog! '''We reduced our overall backlog by 337 articles, to a low of 1,465 articles''', our second-lowest month-end total ever. We also handled all of the remaining requests from December 2016. Officially, 19 editors recorded 337 copy edits (over 679,000 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2017|February blitz]]:''' The one-week February blitz, focusing on the remaining [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit from March 2016|March 2016 backlog]] and [[WP:GOCE/REQ#January 2017|January 2017 requests]], ran from 12 to 18 February. Seven editors reduced the total in those two backlog segments from 32 to 10 articles, leaving us in good shape going in to the March drive. 

'''Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017''': In December, '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2017/1|coordinators for the first half of 2017]]''' were elected. Jonesey95 stepped aside as lead coordinator, remaining as coordinator and allowing Miniapolis to be the lead, and Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators. Thanks to all who participated!

Speaking of coordinators, '''congratulations to {{noping|Jonesey95}}''' on their well-deserved '''induction into the [[WP:GOCE/HOF|Guild of Copy Editors Hall of Fame]]'''. The plaque reads: "For dedicated service as lead coordinator (2014, 1 July – 31 December 2015 and all of 2016) and coordinator (1 January – 30 June 2015 and 1 January – 30 June 2017); exceptional template-creation work (considerably streamlining project administration), and their emphasis on keeping the GOCE a drama-free zone."

'''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 '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Ombox|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: {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Corinne}} and {{noping|Tdslk}}.

Hello copy editors! Welcome to the December 2017 GOCE newsletter, which contains nine months(!) of updates. The Guild has been busy and successful; your diligent efforts in 2017 has brought the backlog of articles requiring copy edit to '''below 1,000 articles for the first time'''.  Thanks to all editors who have contributed their time and energy to help make this happen.

{{center|<big>[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2018|>>> Sign up for the January Drive! <<<]]</big>}}
{{center|<big>[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2018/1|>>> Participate in the Coordinator Elections! <<<]]</big>}}

Our copy-editing drives (month-long backlog-reduction drives held in odd-numbered months) and blitzes (week-long themed editing in even-numbered months) have been very successful this year. 

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2017|March drive]]''': We set out to remove '''April, May, and June 2016''' from our backlog and all '''February 2017 [[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''' (a total of {{#expr:248+56}}&nbsp;articles).  By the end of the month, all but 22 of these articles were cleared.  Officially, of the 28 who signed up, 22&nbsp;editors recorded 257 copy edits (439,952 words). (These numbers do not always make sense when you compare them to the overall reduction in the backlog, because not all editors record every copy edit on the drive page.)

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/April 2017|April blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 April; the theme was '''Requests'''.  Of the 15 who signed up, 9&nbsp;editors completed 43&nbsp;articles (81,822 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2017|May drive]]''': The goals were to remove '''July, August, and September 2016''' from the backlog and to complete all '''March 2017 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:286+14}}&nbsp;articles).  By the end of the month, '''we had reduced our overall backlog to an all-time low of 1,388 articles'''.  Of the 28 who signed up, 17 editors completed 187 articles (321,810 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2017|June blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 18 through 24 June; the theme was '''Requests'''.  Of the 16 who signed up, 9 editors completed 28 copy edits (117,089 words).

'''2017 Coordinator elections''': In June, '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2017/2|coordinators for the second half of 2017]]''' were elected. Jonesey95 moved back into the lead coordinator position, with Miniapolis stepping down to remain as coordinator; Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators, and Keira1996 rejoined after an extended absence. Thanks to all who participated!

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2017|July drive]]''': We set out to remove '''August, September, October, and November 2016''' from the backlog and to complete all '''May and June 2017 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:216+26}} articles).  The drive was an enormous success, and the target was nearly achieved within three weeks, so that '''December 2016''' was added to the "old articles" list used as a goal for the drive.  By the end of the month, only ''three'' articles from 2016 remained, and for the second drive in a row, the backlog was reduced to a new all-time low, this time to '''1,363 articles'''.  Of the 33 who signed up, 21 editors completed 337 articles (556,482 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2017|August blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 20 through 26 August; the theme was '''biographical articles tagged for copy editing for more than six months''' (47&nbsp;articles).  Of the 13 who signed up, 11 editors completed 38 copy edits (42,589 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2017|September drive]]''':  The goals were to remove '''January, February, and March 2017''' from the backlog and to complete all '''August 2017 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:306+32}}&nbsp;articles).  Of the 19 who signed up, 14 editors completed 121 copy edits (267,227 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/October 2017|October blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 22 through 28 October; the theme was '''Requests'''.  Of the 14 who signed up, 8 editors completed 20 articles (55,642 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2017|November drive]]''': We set out again to remove '''January, February, and March 2017''' from the backlog and to complete all '''October 2017 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:174+33}}&nbsp;articles).  By the end of the month, these goals were reached and '''the backlog shrank to its lowest total ever, 997 articles''', the first time it had fallen under one thousand (click on the graph above to see this amazing feat in graphical form). It was also the first time that the oldest copy-edit tag was less than eight months old.  Of the 25 who signed up, 16 editors completed 159 articles (285,929 words).

'''2018 Coordinator elections''': Voting is open for the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2018/1|election of coordinators for the first half of 2018]]'''. Please visit the election page to vote between now and December 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Thanks for participating!

'''Housekeeping note:''' We do not send a newsletter before (or after) every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Ombox|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: {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Corinne}}, {{noping|Tdslk}}, and {{noping|Keira1996}}.

Welcome to the February 2018 GOCE newsletter in which you will find Guild updates since the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Newsletters/December 2017|December edition]]. We got to a great start for the year, holding the backlog at nine months. 100 requests were submitted in the first 6 weeks of the year<!--everything submitted before Feb 12--> and were swiftly handled with an average completion time of 9&nbsp;days.

{{center|<big>[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2018|>>> Sign up for the March Drive! <<<]]</big>}}

'''Coordinator elections''': In December, '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2018/1|coordinators for the first half of 2018]]''' were elected. Jonesey95 remained as lead coordinator and Corrine, Miniapolis and Tdslk as assistant coordinators. Keira1996 stepped down as assistant coordinator and was replaced by Reidgreg. Thanks to all who participated!

'''End of year reports''' were prepared for '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Membership/News/2016 Annual Report|2016]]''' and '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Membership/News/2017 Annual Report|2017]]''', providing a detailed look at the Guild's long-term progress.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2018|January drive]]''': We set out to remove '''April, May, and June 2017''' from our backlog and all '''December 2017 [[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''' (a total of {{#expr:262+13}}&nbsp;articles).  As with previous years, the January drive was an outstanding success and by the end of the month all but 57 of these articles were cleared.  Officially, of the 38 who signed up, 21&nbsp;editors recorded 259 copy edits (490,256&nbsp;words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2018|February blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 February, focusing on '''Requests''' and the last articles tagged in '''May 2017'''.  At the end of the week there were only 14 pending requests, with none older than 20 days.  Of the 11 who signed up, 10&nbsp;editors completed 35&nbsp;copy edits (98,538&nbsp;words).

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Corinne}}, {{noping|Tdslk}}, and {{noping|Reidgreg}}.

[[File:Copyeditors progress.png|right|thumb]]

Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Newsletters/February 2018|February edition]]. 
Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7&nbsp;months and reached a new all-time low.  '''[[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''' continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5&nbsp;days).  Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20&nbsp;days, and the longest wait time was 29&nbsp;days.

Wikipedia in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March of [[User talk:Corinne|Corinne]]. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2018|March drive]]''': The goal was to remove '''June, July and August 2017''' from our backlog and all '''February 2018 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:202+17}}&nbsp;articles).  This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared.  Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758&nbsp;words).<!--"official" results taken from the barnstars page-->

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/April 2018|April blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21&nbsp;April, focusing on '''Requests''' and the last eight articles tagged in '''August 2017'''.  At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17&nbsp;days.  Of the nine editors who signed up, eight&nbsp;editors completed 22&nbsp;copy edits (62,412&nbsp;words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2018|May drive]]''': We set out to remove '''September, October and November 2017''' from our backlog and all '''April 2018 [[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''' (a total of {{#expr:271+27}}&nbsp;articles).  There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to a '''record low of 716 articles'''.  Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15&nbsp;editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813&nbsp;words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2018/2|Coordinator elections]]''': It's election time again.  '''Nominations''' for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59&nbsp;UTC on 15&nbsp;June.  All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged.  '''Voting''' will take place between 00:01&nbsp;UTC on 16&nbsp;June and 23:59&nbsp;UTC on 30&nbsp;June.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2018|June blitz]]''': Stay tuned for this one-week copy-editing blitz, which will take place in mid-June.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: {{red|Corinne}}, {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Reidgreg}} and {{noping|Tdslk}}.

Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2018. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2019, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.

'''January Drive:''' Thanks to everyone for the splendid work in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2019|'''January's Backlog Elimination Drive''']].  We removed copyedit tags from all of the articles tagged in our original target months of June, July and August 2018, and by 24 January we ran out of articles. After adding September, we finished the month with 8 target articles remaining and 842 left in the backlog. GOCE copyeditors also completed 48<!--in archives--> [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests|requests for copyedit]] in January. Of the 31 people who signed up for this drive, 24<!--excluding one editor whose attempted c/es weren't adequate --> copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2019/Barnstars|'''here''']].

'''Blitz:''' Thanks to everyone who participated in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2019|'''February Blitz''']]. Of the 15 people who signed up, 13 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed 32 copyedits, including 15 requests. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2019/Barnstars|'''here''']].

'''Progress report:''' As of 23:39, 18 March 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have completed 108 requests since 1 January and the backlog stands at 851 articles.<!--Coords can update or remove this line before sending the newsletter. -->

'''March Drive''': The month-long [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2019|'''March drive''']] is now underway; the target months are October and November 2018. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March_2019#Signing_up|'''Sign up here''']]!

'''Election reminder''': It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2019/2|here]].

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}, {{noping|Jonesey95}},  {{noping|Reidgreg}} and {{noping|Tdslk}}.

Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June&nbsp;2019.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2019/2|June election]]:''' Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated!

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2019|'''June Blitz''']]: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests|requests]]. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2019/Barnstars|here]].

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2019|'''July Drive''']]: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of '''585 articles''' while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May&nbsp;2015. Final results and awards are listed [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2019/Barnstars|here]].

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2019|'''August Blitz''']]: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March&nbsp;2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2019/Barnstars|here]].

'''Progress report:''' As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585.

'''[[WP:GOCER|Requests page]]:''' We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests&oldid=917208048#Bot_integration? on REQ Talk (permalinked)] initiated by [[User:Bobbychan193|Bobbychan193]] has resulted in [[User:Zhuyifei1999|Zhuyifei1999]] writing [[toolforge:yifeibot/enwiki_gce_archive.py.txt|a bot script]] for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3&nbsp;October; for this reason, '''no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over'''. We will then [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/YiFeiBot 2|assess the bot's performance]] and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2019|'''September Drive''']]: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today!

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}, {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Reidgreg}}, {{noping|Tdslk}} and {{noping|Twofingered Typist}}.

Hello and welcome to the December 2019 GOCE newsletter, an update of Guild happenings since the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Newsletters/September 2019|September edition]]. Our Annual Report should be ready in late January.

[[File:Copyeditors progress.png|right|thumb]]

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Coordinators/2020/1|Election time]]''': Nominations for the election of a new tranche of Guild coordinators to serve for the first half of 2020 will be open from 1 to 15&nbsp;December. Voting will then take place and the election will close on 31&nbsp;December at 23:59 UTC. Positions for Guild coordinators, who perform the important behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our project running smoothly, are open to all Wikipedians in good standing. We welcome self-nominations so please consider nominating yourself if you've ever thought about helping out; it's ''your'' Guild and it doesn't run itself!

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2019|'''September Drive''']]: Of the thirty-two editors who signed up, twenty-three editors copy edited at least one article; they completed 39 requests and removed 138 articles from the backlog, bringing the backlog to a low of 519 articles.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/October 2019|October Blitz]]''': This event ran from 13 to 19 October, with themes of science, technology and transport articles tagged for copy edit, and Requests. Sixteen editors helped remove 29 articles from the backlog and completed 23 requests.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2019|'''November Drive''']]''': Of the twenty-eight editors who signed up for this event, twenty editors completed at least one copy edit; they completed 29 requests and removed 133 articles from the backlog.

Our '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2019|December Blitz]]''' will run from 15 to 21 December. Sign up now!

'''Progress report''': From September to November 2019, GOCE copy editors processed 154 requests<!--includes 7 declined or withdrawn-->. Over the same period, the backlog of articles tagged for copy editing was reduced by 41% to an '''all-time low of 479 articles'''.

'''Request archiving''': The archiving of completed requests has now been automated. Thanks to {{noping|Zhuyifei1999}} and {{noping|Bobbychan193}}, '''{{noping|YiFeiBot}}''' is now archiving the [[WP:GOCER|Requests page]]. Archiving occurs around 24&nbsp;hours after a user's signature and one of the templates '''{{tl|Done}}''', '''{{tl|Withdrawn}}''' or '''{{tl|Declined}}''' are placed below the request. The bot uses the Guild's standard "purpose codes" to determine the way it should archive each request so it's important to use the [[Template:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests|correct codes and templates]]. 

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators; {{noping|Reidgreg}}, {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}, {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Tdslk}} and {{noping|Twofingered Typist}}.

Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December&nbsp;2019. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2020, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Coordinators/2020/1|Election results]]''': There was little changeover in the roster of Guild Coordinators, with Miniapolis stepping down with distinction as a ''coordinator emeritus'' while Jonesey95 returned as lead coordinator.  The next election is scheduled for June&nbsp;2020 and all Wikipedians in good standing may participate.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2020|January Drive]]''': Thanks to everyone for the splendid work, completing 215 copy edits including 56 articles from the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests|Requests page]] and 116 backlog articles from the target months of June to August&nbsp;2019. At the conclusion of the drive there was a '''record low of 323 articles''' in the copy editing backlog. Of the 27 editors who signed up for the drive, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2020/Barnstars|here]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2020|February Blitz]]''': Of the 15 editors who signed up for this one-week blitz, 13 completed at least one copy edit. A total of 32 articles were copy edited, evenly split between the twin goals of requests and the oldest articles from the copy-editing backlog. Full results are [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2020/Barnstars|here]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2020|March Drive]]''': Currently underway, this event is targeting requests and backlog articles from September to November&nbsp;2019. As of 18&nbsp;March, the backlog stands at a '''record low of 253 articles''' and is expected to drop further as the drive progresses. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Help set a new record and sign up now!

'''Progress report:''' As of 18 March, GOCE copyeditors have completed 161 requests in 2020 and there was a net reduction of 385 articles from the copy-editing backlog&nbsp;– a 60% decrease from the beginning of the year. Well done and thank you everyone!<!--Coords can update or remove this line before sending the newsletter. -->

'''Election reminder''': It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1&nbsp;June. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2020/2|here]].

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Baffle gab1978}},  {{noping|Reidgreg}}, {{noping|Tdslk}} and {{noping|Twofingered Typist}}

Hello and welcome to the June newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Newsletters/March 2020|March 2020]]. You can unsubscribe from our mailings at any time; see below. All times and dates stated are in [[Universal Coordinated Time|UTC]].

<div style="text-align: center;">'''Current events'''</div>

'''Election time:''' Nomination of candidates in our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2020/2|'''mid-year Election of Coordinators''']] opened on 1&nbsp;June, and voting will take place from 00:01 on 16&nbsp;June. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators|GOCE coordinators]] normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, or you know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2020/2|here]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2020|June Blitz]]''': This blitz begins at 00:01 on 14 June and ends at 23:59 on 20 June, with themes of [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit from May 2020|articles tagged for copyedit in May 2020]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests|requests]].

<div style="text-align: center;">'''Drive and blitz reports'''</div>

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2020|March Drive]]''': [[Self-isolation]] from [[2019–20 coronavirus pandemic|coronavirus]] may have played a hand in making this one of our most successful backlog elimination drives.  The copy-editing backlog was reduced from 477 to a '''record low of 118 articles''', a 75% reduction. The last four months of 2019 were cleared, reducing the backlog to three months. Fifty requests were also completed, and the total word count of copy-edited articles was 759,945. Of the 29 editors who signed up, 22 completed at least one copy edit. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2020/Barnstars|here]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/April 2020|April Blitz]]''': This blitz ran from 12 to 18&nbsp;April with a theme of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Indian military history task force|Indian military history]]. Of the 18 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed a total of 60 copyedits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/April 2020/Barnstars|here]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2020|May Drive]]''':  This event marked the 10th anniversary of the GOCE's copy-editing drives, and set a goal of diminishing the backlog to just one month of articles, as close to zero articles as possible. '''We achieved the goal of eliminating all articles that had been tagged prior to the start of the drive, for the first time in our history!''' Of the 51 editors who signed up, 43 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2020/Barnstars|here]].

<div style="text-align: center;">'''Other news'''</div>

'''Progress report''': as of 2&nbsp;June, GOCE participants had processed 328 requests since 1&nbsp;January, which puts us on pace to exceed any previous year's number of requests. As of the end of the May drive, the backlog stood at just 156 articles, all tagged in May 2020.

'''Outreach''': To mark the 10th anniversary of our first Backlog Elimination Drive, [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost|''The Signpost'']] contributor and GOCE participant {{noping|Puddleglum2.0}} interviewed project coordinators and copy-editors for the journal's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2020-04-26/WikiProject_report|April WikiProject Report]]. The Drive and the current Election of Coordinators have also been covered in ''The Signpost''{{'s}} [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2020-05-31/News and notes|May News and Notes page]].

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}, {{noping|Reidgreg}}, {{noping|Tdslk}} and {{noping|Twofingered Typist}}.

The standard is whether the edits are consistent with WP policy and it is expected that you would justify any modifications accordingly. What is objectionable and can get you sanctioned if you substitute your personal preferences and revert without reference to WP.
