GOCE Newsletter

GOCE July 2010 backlog elimination drive chart Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have now passed the halfway point, so here's an update. Progress Report - Progress toward the targets has been good. 751 articles out of the approximately 1,600 we would like to get completed by the end of the month were done by July 15, so we will be very close to meeting the target for volume. However, we would like to clear all of the 2008 articles from the backlog, and there are still 892 left to do. Please consider choosing one of these older articles when looking for something to copy edit. If we focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Participation Report - 95 people signed up for the July drive. This is a great result compared to May, when we had 36. However, in May only one person that signed up didn't do any copy edits, and in July only 59 of the 95 have posted any copy edits on the big board. The task may seem insurmountable but please remember that if all 95 participants copy edit just one article a day from now until the end of the month, we will eliminate 1,300 more articles from the backlog. So please consider participating at whatever level you can! All contributions are appreciated. This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa (Talk), S Masters (talk), and The Raptor Let's talk.

GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody! Stats If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you edited in the May 2010 GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive, your word totals are cumulative for barnstars (not the leaderboard). Over the course of the next week or two, we will be handing out the barnstars.

PACIFIC MERIDIAN PAGE

What the fuck? I spent 3 days translating this article from Russian Wikipedia! And you guys just deleted it without sending any notice to my e-mail! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Meridian_(film_festival)

I rewrote all text except official documents! I have all rights to use all information from that site!

I insist on restoring the page! Right NOW! Roman Naumenko (talk · contribs) 01:41, August 5, 2010

I am composing a message to Roman Naumenko (who sent me the same note) giving my reasons for the ProD and explaining a little bit about how proposed deletion works. It would help if I had a copy of the article, for reference. Can you put it into my user space? I assume Roman kept a copy. Thanks. Peter Chastain (talk) 11:24, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Done. User:Peter Chastain/Pacific Meridian (film festival) Shimeru 09:36, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Romanization for words of English origin

On the MOS:JP talk page, a discussion has been started about including or not including romanizations for words of English origin, such as Fainaru Fantajī in Final Fantasy (ファイナルファンタジー, Fainaru Fantajī) (for the sake of simplicity, I called this case "words of English origin", more information on semantics here).

Over the course of a month, it has become apparent that both the parties proposing to include or not include those romanizations cannot be convinced by the arguments or guidelines brought up by the other side. Therefore, a compromise is trying to be found that will satisfy both parties. One suggestion on a compromise has been given already, but it has not found unanimous agreement, so additional compromises are encouraged to be suggested.

One universally accepted point was to bring more users from the affected projects in to help achieve consensus, and you were one of those selected in the process.

What this invitation is:

• You should give feedback on the first suggested compromise and are highly encouraged to provide other solutions.

What this invitation is not:

• This is not a vote on including or excluding such romanizations.
• This is not a vote on compromises either.

It would be highly appreciated if you came over to the MOS:JP talk page and helped find a solution. Thank you in advance. Prime Blue (talk) 11:30, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

T2 SDE

Please restore this article. The article was deleted for lack of reliable sources to establish notability. The main website for the subject matter is T2 System Development Environment. The subject appears notable to me - if all mentions in Wikipedia of T2 SDE were wikilinked, this article would be referenced from 13 articles. Obankston (talk) 07:29, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

According to the deletion discussion, the article was deleted because of a lack of independent third-party sourcing. Do you know of any books, magazine or journal articles, or other such sources that would address those concerns? We can't reference ourselves. Shimeru 08:45, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

There does appear to be a paucity of 3rd party sources, but I recreated the article with different content because the subject is notable. See Talk:T2_SDE. Obankston (talk) 20:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/436th Transportation Battalion (United States)

You deleted 436th Transportation Battalion (United States) even though there was no clear consensus to delete in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/436th Transportation Battalion (United States). You apparently ignored the Keep argument, and you gave no reasons for why you deleted the article. AfD's are not a vote, and unless there is a clear consensus (not a majority) for deletion the article must not be deleted. If the closing admin unilaterally deletes the article after a discussion, ignoring arguments to keep the article, then why do we even bother having discussions? I request that you restore 436th Transportation Battalion (United States) because there was no clear consensus to delete the article. Inniverse (talk) 04:01, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
