Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive update GOCE March 2012 Backlog Elimination progress graphs Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter. 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.

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 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 – Dianna (talk), Stfg (talk), and Dank (talk) To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Korean Football Clubs Deletion

‎Why did you delete my contributions? I explainedd these football clubs are very important part of Korean Football History in Feburary? They won Korean Football Championship and They were South Korean football champions

You are yangkee and you are ingnorant football. Of course, You are ingnorant of Korea. But Although you don't know that, They are important part. Do you know? In Korea, We also don't know American football Team. They don't have Notablity. All korean people don't know Green Bay Packers. I also delete NFL article on Korean Wikipedia and unknown american football team on English wikepieda.

You do delete all american footbal team aritcles by yourself. As you know these team also don't have notablity. Few amercian know this team..Of course, All people from over the world don't know these teams. I think these articles must be deleted. What do you think of deletion of american football team article? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Defunct_AF2_teams

If you want keep these article, You are selfish american.

Do you know, My mother tongue is not English, So I took much times to created football club article. My aim is to create articles regarding clubs which became [[South Korean football champions But Because of you, many clubs are deleted and I wasted my time. How do you reward? I really want to leave wikepidia such as selfish american like you.

If south korean footblal club articlu exist on wikipedia, Are you lost your job or Are you broke up your girlfriend? I really don't understand like you 'wikipedia policy geek'

Sorry you are upset, but you have to understand that I did not delete these articles. I nominated them to be deleted, a discussion was held where several editors debated the issue, and in the end, everyone in the discussion agreed that several of the clubs did not meet our standards of notability. Please read WP:N which clearly explains the policy for what topics qualify for articles in the English Wikipeda. You are free to nominate whatever articles you want for deletion, and the same process will happen: editors will discuss them, and a decision will be reached by the community. However, I guarantee that if you nominate Green Bay Packers for deletion, that the decision of the community will be that they are notable, and the article kept. "Notable" has a very specific meaning here, so I suggest you read the policy. Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 21:58, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Why did you nominated to be deleted only south korean football club articles? As you know, American football club only notable in Amercia. Ok. Green Bay Packers is nortable in America. Because this club is member of NFL. But Green Bay is deleted and prabalbe will not create in Korean wikipedia. And what do you think of this team such as Baltimore Bombers. As you nominated south korean football team to delete, you also nominated this team fairly.

Do you agree my opinoion? If you don't nomitated american football team, I regarded you as you hate or neglect south korean football. Do nominate many unnotbale american football teams immediatly.. There are so many articles to delete. Please refer to Category:Defunct American football teams

Because of selfish and haughy american you like, I'll never created aritcles in Wekipedia. Do you know Cha Bum Kun? This korean player much more famous than all-tiem any greenbay packers players. If you don't nomiate, In Cha Bum Kun article, His former teams ROK Air Force FC, Seoul Trust Bank FC articles are exist and this will be very informative.

But because of your narrow view, precious article was gone, I didn't copy, So I can't restore. From now on, I'll do my best to delete american football team article to violate nortabiliy guideline. I know this american football article is informative for some people and if this article exist or not, I don't lose job or I don't broke my girlfrien. But this articels also have to be deleted as south korean football club articles were deleted. 13:14, 13 May 2012

New Page Triage/New Pages Feed

Hey all :). A notification that the prototype for the New Pages Feed is now live on enwiki! We had to briefly take it down after an unfortunate bug started showing up, but it's now live and we will continue developing it on-site.

The page can be found at Special:NewPagesFeed. Please, please, please test it and tell us what you think! Note that as a prototype it will inevitably have bugs - if you find one not already mentioned at the talkpage, bring it up and I'm happy to carry it through to the devs. The same is true of any additions you can think of to the software, or any questions you might have - let me know and I'll respond.

Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 13:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

New article

Hey, I've got the new article into mainspace. It's not urgent, but if you want to copyedit it within the next couple weeks, that would be great. The article is Clarence 13X, he was a gambling aficionado who came to believe that he was Allah incarnate, and started his own religion. He had some very unconventional (and initially quite racist and misogynist ideas) but became a lot more mainstream as he aged. Interesting guy, in my mind. It's probably not as polished as the last couple articles that I've handed to you, so it might take some extra work. The one big thing is, he went by three different names over the course of his life, so I'm not sure what to refer to him as. Use your best judgment, I guess. Thanks! Mark Arsten (talk) 04:14, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Cool... I'll start taking a look on my flight Saturday night. I remember an instruction in the MOS for dealing with name changes—I'll have to dig it up before I leave. Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 14:45, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

RoomSurge up for deletion

Hello, Regarding roomsurge.com, I was the one who initiated this page. Sorry I didn't cite more sources as I didn't feel more were necessary. I believe the article in question is a spin-off company off another Fortune 200 company which in my view is significant enough :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emilytisch (talk • contribs) 15:09, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

The bar that you have to pass is the Wikipedia notability policy which states "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list." Your article cites one article with significant coverage. The first reference is trivial coverage, and since it comes from the college where the site was founded, it could be argued if it is "independent" coverage. Sorry, but being a spin-off of a Fortune 200 company doesn't prove notability. However, if one or more reliable sources took note of the spin-off and documented it in articles, then you would be able to cite them in the article and be well beyond the notability criteria. I did some quick searching before I nominated the article, and I couldn't find any such coverage, but if you know of some, use it to improve the article, cite it, and comment at the AfD!
