GOCE March drive newsletter

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. 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. 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 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.

Disambiguation link notification for April 4

GOCE March drive wrap-up

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive GOCE March 2012 Backlog Elimination progress graph Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors 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. 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 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 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 {{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.

The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey.

Chag Sameach

Yo! Sorry about the "1RR" thing at J Street. It didn't cross my mind, most of my editing is done in non-contentious contexts. But the good news is that even though we disagree, we are both inclined to pick up on the better parts of each other's edits and converge toward a better article. I appreciate you working that way. And chag sameach! May you and yours have a happy Pesach. M.boli (talk) 13:32, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

amen and the same to you! Soosim (talk) 14:06, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

NGOM Funding

Hi, would you mind responding to my comment on the NGO Monitor talk page as I can't really move anything forward until I've heard from you. Thanks, BHB. BothHandsBlack (talk) 12:26, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

didn't see it - will go look now. sorry. Soosim (talk) 12:52, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Soosim, I've raised some issues about your editing on NGOM at the ARE noticeboard [1]. They are not life or death issues but I think they are worth resolving. BothHandsBlack (talk) 13:30, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Dispute Resolution re: NGOM

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is "NGO Monitor". Thank you. --BothHandsBlack (talk) 15:17, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Since we don't seem to be able to understand each other on the issues here I've asked if we can get some third party help. BothHandsBlack (talk) 15:17, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

gotta love it..... Soosim (talk) 13:30, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

oh, and this is from today - despite the entire article really being disgusting, look at the error in the first line: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/552785_10151691694775717_549595716_24124860_1252490859_n.jpg

If I didn't make anything wrong the court deal is http://www.regavim.org.il/images/stories/hakl.pdf and some background rulings for PA settlements http://www.regavim.org.il/images/stories/yadid.pdf

I don't wish to add on that page (the 1rr rule) but you might notice that 81.218.101.250 added stuff from some news agencies (witch I didn't have ) that went to court :

According to Regavim movement 30 different cases had been filed between the ones that had been rule in favor of the Regavim were most of the cases are economical cases (queries,production sites,waste disposal sites) and minority are with illegal take over of land for living.

As what the page state now is not what the ref says (there are two different incidents) there had been 30 legal cases of different nature,

I might add that Regavim (http://www.regavim.org.il/en) is not so popular activist group (in comparison to Shalom-Ahsev) but they are working at least from 2009 (example in english http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/settlers-petition-to-tear-down-nearby-palestinian-stadium-1.3311) 109.226.26.76 (talk) 14:03, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Deborah Hertz

Hello Soosim. Here on Wikipedia, it is entirely legitimate to contest a CSD nomination (if you are not the article's creator) and similar rule applies to proposed deletions. You should not revert. If you question notability of the topic, take the article to WP:AFD and explain your objections there. I won't revert, but I'm pretty sure another admin will. Best regards. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 16:08, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

thanks for trying V, but i also had looked and looked and looked and saw nothing, literally, in any RS. anyway, i opened a section on her talk page, so we can continue there. (i opened it a few minutes after i put it up for deletion.) Soosim (talk) 16:34, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Deborah Hertz

Hello Soosim. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Deborah Hertz, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: there is certainly enough here to pass the low bar of A7. I have also removed the PROD, because once removed, for any reason or none, a PROD may not be replaced - see WP:DEPROD. If you really think this should go, you will have to take it to AfD.

Hi, the picture is representing the French Marie Sklodowska Curie (she is from Poland!!), who lives in France. Is not this a bug? What do you think? Top811 (talk)
