Ediel López Falcón
Hi Willbb234, can you please tell the GOCE the status of your copy-edit of Ediel López Falcón? Cheers, Baffle☿gab 01:10, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Baffle gab1978: sorry, I forgot. I've marked it as done now though. Thanks for the reminder, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 07:28, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Mark Cavendish
The article Mark Cavendish you nominated as a good article has passed 
; see Talk:Mark Cavendish for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Lizzy150 -- Lizzy150 (talk) 21:22, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello. I have just read your message in which you seem to wish that the page that I am working on, the Canadian Honours list for 2012 is at risk of deletion. I do not understand why this page might receive such a distinction while other honours lists are not. Wikipedia users have been posting British honours lists going as far back as 1860. Therefore, I am simply trying to allow Canadians to have access to our honours lists without having to search through all the Canada Gazettes to have access to this information.
If you have suggestions on how to improve my work, I am more than happy to accept the suggestion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ctjj.stevenson (talk • contribs)
- @Ctjj.stevenson: hi there. Sorry for the late reply. Your argument of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS means that the list you have created cannot be protected simply because other similar lists exist.
- Secondly, the information on the pages is copied-and-pasted from the Canada Gazette, meaning it could be seen as a WP:Copyright violation, and thus should be deleted. Please do not remove the AfD notice at the top of the page - the instructions are quite clear.
- @Willbb234: Hello,
- Your argument would mean that all honours lists would have to be deleted from Wikipedia because they are all written from various government sources and "cut and pasted." Ctjj.stevenson (talk) 18:39, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Ctjj.stevenson: perhaps, but with 6 million articles, poor content is bound to pass through the net. The best we can do is try not to add to that poor content. Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 21:24, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

A barnstar for your work!

The Guidance Barnstar | |
| Thank you for directing me to the correct location for the barnstar! I already gifted you one though, and I'm not going to take it back. Utopes (talk / cont) 02:52, 8 February 2020 (UTC) |
- Utopes hi there. I am very glad you like the article, but I didn't write it, Ser Amantio di Nicolao did! They asked me to nominate it and then I would make any changes to the article per the review. I guess no changes will need to be made. Thanks for your kind review, but I suggest you give the barnstar to them. Kind regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 07:30, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for letting me know. I'm not going to remove the barnstar though, so I just changed the type, as you directed me to the correct location. Cheers regardless! Utopes (talk / cont) 02:49, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
"Alpha" in place of "A"
Hey Willbb234, I noticed that you just patrolled a redirect that I created. I approved of the redirect using the AFC/R Helper Script, but it was not created after I hit submit, presumably due to the Alpha character being in the title. I wanted to get a second opinion from you whether it would be okay to use these characters in the titles before I finish manually creating the requested redirects. Utopes (talk / cont) 20:53, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Utopes Having patrolled quite a lot of redirects, I do see non-English characters in titles (I've even seen an emoji) and they seem fine. I don't know why a Greek letter wouldn't be viable here. Regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 20:59, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Utopes I don't know why the Greek letters aren't showing up, however, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 21:01, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Alright, thank you for the response. I have seen kanji in titles as well for title translations, so I know there isn't a technical problem. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing the wrong thing because the script had a problem with creating the redirects. Utopes (talk / cont) 21:23, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020
Hello Willbb234,
- Source Guide Discussion
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
- Redirects
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
- Discussions and Resources
- There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
- A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
- A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
- A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.
- Refresher
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Friendly question about a review
Hi Will, I noticed a message that you had reviewed my sandbox article Bibliography of the Post Stalinist Soviet Union. I'm still fairly new and I'm not sure what the review of an article in a sandbox means (as opposed to the article space). I didn't see any notes, but I was curious if you had any feedback.
I hope this message finds you well. Have a good weekend. // Timothy :: talk 18:39, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- TimothyBlue hi there. We review userspace articles just to make sure there isn't anything bad going on. It isn't the same as mainspace reviewing.
- I briefly looked over the sandbox article so I don't have any feedback, but if you'd like I can take more of a look. Have a good weekend, regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 19:57, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Request on 10:47:15, 26 February 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Morgancatalina
Hi Willbb234!
I see that you rejected my article because you felt it did not come from a neutral point of view, and would love to know specifically what made you feel that way. I am struggling to understand why because it only includes factual information with no subjective comment on events that occurred. There is no mention of upcoming shows, reviews of shows, artist statement, etc. I decided to make it comprehensive because I did not see an advantage in withholding information on wikipedia. Was it because there was too much information about past work or did you feel references were not in depth enough? I would love any feedback on how I can improve this article. Thank you!
Morgancatalina (talk) 10:47, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Morgancatalina hi there. It appears very promotional as it includes a long list of appearances/tours which makes it feel like you are attempting to promote the band's achievements. Also, the lede section feels as if you are trying to sell me a ticket to see the band. For example
Children of the Light creates abstract light art installations and light scenography.
is particularly promotional as it doesn't feel like the usual tone of Wikipedia. Kind regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 21:37, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi. I have commented there, but would also like to request you consider withdrawing this nomination. Thanks. wjematherplease leave a message... 21:36, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
Review decline error.
on the draft Draft:Mory_Kouyaté the language was french, but reason shows the language as the number 1 and the link to the language wiki homepage takes you back to English Wikipedia. just thought you would want to fix that. :) LanHikari64 (talk) 21:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- LanHikari64 hi there. I'm not sure what you are saying? What is "number 1"? Regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 21:21, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- It says "The submission appears to be written in 1. This is the English Language Wikipedia;" I do not know what this is supposed to mean, and it appears to be a mistake. I was just letting you know that the reason you set could cause confusion to someone that already does not seem to understand the language.Willbb234 LanHikari64 (talk) 21:25, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Regarding Draft: Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau Wikipedia Review Decline
Hi there!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Remzi_Arpaci-Dusseau
I noticed my draft got declined upon review, citing that it was not adequately supported by reliable sources. The three sources I had were Remzi's University of Wisconsin sitepage, his Google Scholar profile, and his personal resume. How would I go about finding more verifiable sources than first-hand primary sources? JohnUWCS (talk) 19:45, 5 March 2020 (UTC)JohnUWCS
- JohnUWCS hi there. Please take a thorough read of reliable sources - this will tell you about sources to use and not to use. After that, you can use the links provided on the draft (Draft:Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau) in the red box under 'Editor resources' to help you find sources. It has links to searching google, books, newspapers etc. You should look out for news from reliable, independent sources or information written on the subject from other reliable sources. It often takes a lot of digging around to find good sources, but they are there. If you need anymore help and when you are finished, please reply. Kind regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 19:55, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

GOCE March newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors March 2020 Newsletter
 Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 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. 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 2020 and all Wikipedians in good standing may participate. January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work, completing 215 copy edits including 56 articles from the Requests page and 116 backlog articles from the target months of June to August 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 here. 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 here. March Drive: Currently underway, this event is targeting requests and backlog articles from September to November 2019. As of 18 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 – a 60% decrease from the beginning of the year. Well done and thank you everyone! Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. 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. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice
Hi Willbb234, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!
Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

GOCE June newsletter
| Guild of Copy Editors June 2020 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the June newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since March 2020. You can unsubscribe from our mailings at any time; see below. All times and dates stated are in UTC. Current events
Election time: Nomination of candidates in our mid-year Election of Coordinators opened on 1 June, and voting will take place from 00:01 on 16 June. 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 here. June Blitz: This blitz begins at 00:01 on 14 June and ends at 23:59 on 20 June, with themes of articles tagged for copyedit in May 2020 and requests. Drive and blitz reports
March Drive: Self-isolation from 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 here. April Blitz: This blitz ran from 12 to 18 April with a theme of 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 here. 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 here. Other news
Progress report: as of 2 June, GOCE participants had processed 328 requests since 1 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, The Signpost contributor and GOCE participant Puddleglum2.0 interviewed project coordinators and copy-editors for the journal's April WikiProject Report. The Drive and the current Election of Coordinators have also been covered in The Signpost's May News and Notes page. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020
Hello Willbb234,
- Your help can make a difference
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
- Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.
- Discussions and Resources
- A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
- Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
- A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
- Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

Guild of Copy Editors September 2020 Newsletter
| Guild of Copy Editors September 2020 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2020. Current and upcoming events
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! Election reminder: our end-of-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 December. 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. Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: An uncorrected typo (even copy editors make copy editing mistakes!) led to an eight-day "leap blitz" from 14 to 21 June, focusing on requests and articles tagged in May. 19 participating editors claimed 54 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Over 750,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event, keeping pace with the previous three self-isolated drives. Of the 38 people who signed up, 30 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 16 to 22 August, we copy edited articles tagged in June and July 2020 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 37 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Baffle gab1978, Tdslk, Twofingered Typist, and first-time coordinator Puddleglum2.0. Reidgreg took a break after serving for a couple years. Thanks to everyone who participated! Progress report: As of 01:33, 18 September 2020 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 532 requests since 1 January and there were 38 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (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, Baffle gab1978, Puddleglum2.0, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
