Your comments would be welcome about this edit, which I've raised a comment about on the category talk page. Thanks. --Izno (talk) 21:39, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm disinclined to argue about that one further. Thanks for asking, though. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ   Contrib. 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Any thoughts regarding Template talk:Key press#Thorn (letter) and other Alt Gr uses? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 15:54, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

 – no Declined, per WP:DGAF. That proposal will snowball straight into the bitbucket, if anyone even bothers commenting.

Guild of Copy Editors May 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter

Participation: Out of 49 people signed up for this drive so far, 26 have copy-edited at least one article. It's a smaller group than last drive, but we're making good progress. If you've signed up but haven't 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: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive, largely due to the efforts of Lfstevens and the others on the leaderboard. Thanks to all. We have reduced our target group of articles—January, February, and March 2011—by over half, and it looks like we will achieve that goal. Good progress is being made on the overall backlog as well, with over 500 articles copy-edited during the drive so far. The total backlog currently sits at around 3200 articles.

Hall of Fame: GOCE coordinator Diannaa was awarded a spot in the GOCE Hall of Fame this month! She has copy-edited over 1567 articles during these drives, and surpassed the 1,000,000-word mark on May 5. On to the second million! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg

Cultivar

Please note your editing of article Cultivar. Group with capital G is a formal classification category and replaces the old designation cultivar-group - see the latest 2009 International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants. Writing group with lower case totally alters the meaning. I have reverted your changes, please discuss your changes on the Cultivar talk page or my talk page if you have any difficulties with this.Granitethighs 07:17, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Just an aside: I'm well aware that I edited the article, so I don't need to "note" that I did. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ   Contrib. 08:42, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

 – Done, at that page. This was a no-brainer and did not need to be an RfC. Dictionaries exists for a reason.
