GOCE May drive wrap-up

Disregard

 – Just project spam.

Guild of Copy Editors May 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up Participation: Out of 54 people who signed up this drive, 32 copy-edited at least one article. Last drive's superstar, Lfstevens, again stood out, topping the leader board in all three categories and copy-editing over 700 articles. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: We were once again successful in our primary goal—removing the oldest three months from the backlog—while removing 1166 articles from the queue, the second-most in our history. The total backlog currently sits at around 2600 articles, down from 8323 when we started out just over two years ago. Coodinator election: The six-month term for our third tranche of Guild coordinators will be expiring at the end of June. We will be accepting nominations for the fourth tranche of coordinators, who will also serve a six-month term. Nominations will open starting on June 5. For complete information, please have a look at the election page. – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa, and Stfg To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

 –  Declined per WP:DGAF. I do not believe these "Year by X" categories are encyclopedically useful to begin with, but a trivial intersection of factoids.

Welcome back!

 – Just a chat.

As a fellow WikiJanitor, I wish to welcome you back with a cup of coffee. I dream of horses @ 19:43, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

THanks, but I'm not really back in the active sense, just responding to talk page messages. I check in periodically, but am not taking on any large projects until after my move in meatspace. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ   Contrib. 18:58, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Not sure if you meant it to be all in boldface, but I think you might want to sign it. Rivertorch (talk) 20:17, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

WP Snooker in the Signpost

Stale

 – Too late; didn't see this for almost a week.

The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Snooker for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 16:54, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

GOCE July 2012 Copy Edit Drive

FYI

 – Just a project newsletter.

Extended content

Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their July 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on July 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on July 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to eliminate the articles tagged in April, May and June 2011 from the queue and to complete all requests placed before the end of June. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 6 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in April–June 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg. >>> Sign up now <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Logical punctuation, again

Resolved

 – Commented briefly at the section in question.

As one who has devoted considerable time and energy (a noted sacrifice, scarce as these commodities are for most of us) to the struggle for the proper use of logical quotation, you may find of interest the exchange, earlier this month, at Talk:La Strada#Logical Punctuation (leaving aside the section header's use of another source of discord, the "illogically" capitalized common noun). The subject will obviously continue to be raised due to the widespread use of the "illogical quote" by the American print media (I live in a New York City suburb and, as a longtime reader of The New York Times, sense my eye settling on the paper's "misplaced" quotation marks) thus suggesting the possible utility of a "See also" to a specially-created page or some other method of reference to a compilation of such discussions, which often remain obscure within sparsely-frequented talk pages. Something to consider for those who care, myself included, with the precious nature of time taken into account. Perhaps even a link at the talk page of the MOS subsection discussing logical quotations might be sufficient for the day.—Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 15:38, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
