Apollo 7 was the first crewed flight in NASA's Apollo program, and saw the resumption of human spaceflight by the agency after the fire that killed the three Apollo 1 astronauts.

Why revert my edits?

[edit]

First of all, The Grandiose is not proper English. Secondly, The Cullinan is a very tacky name for a Hong Kong building. 116.48.78.146 (talk) 05:49, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your second edit to The Cullinan was just fine. The other edits are either not objectively neutral in the case of The Cullinan and in the case of The Grandiose, it is, in fact, proper English since it is a proper noun. Although I admit, that is a silly name for a building. -Pax Verbum 05:57, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 03:35:46, 16 September 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by TerryLange

[edit]



TerryLange (talk) 03:35, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, TerryLange! How can I help you? I notice that you placed a talkback notice on my page, but you left no accompanying message. You also left no message with this request for assistance. When users use these tools, they normally specify what they need. I imagine it has to do with the Tom McLaren draft, but until you mention exactly what you need, I'm not sure how I can help. If you are looking to have the article reviewed again, you will need to hit the blue "resubmit" button on the draft. After that, either I or someone else will come along and review it again (sometimes I don't review the same article twice so to have more than one set of eyes look at it). Hope to talk to you soon! -Pax Verbum 04:40, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Steamboats of the Mississippi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Native Americans. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Cyrtophora citricola

[edit]

Hey Pax, looked at the article and your review, and I think things look great. I don't have much to add beyond some minor quibbles.

  • There are certain parts of the article that repeat the same inline citation more times than necessary, which can clutter up the article; if the same citation appears in every sentence of a paragraph, it's advisable to just include it once at the very end. Cyrtophora_citricola#Phylogeny, for instance, has reference 7 appearing pretty much after every single sentence.
  • For organism GAs, generally it's better to have "habitat and distribution" towards the beginning of the article than towards the back end, especially since explanations about behavior or even description have a lot to do with the organism's habitat. I'd probably move it after the Taxonomy or Description section, instead of all the way after Behavior.
  • Cyrtophora_citricola#Protective_coloration_and_behavior is extremely short, and seems better merged with the "Description" section.

I don't really have anything to add about your review specifically. Great work checking the sources too; that's most of the grunt work for GA/FA status. Welcome back! bibliomaniac15 21:16, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bibliomaniac15 - Thank you for taking the time to look it over. You've provided some great insight for future looks at organism GAs. I really appreciate it! -Pax Verbum 22:46, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Other news

June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis.

New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive).

Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above).

GOCE drive word counts

[edit]

No need to take hundreds of words off your totals, Pax85. The prosesize script doesn't do tables and bullet lists; for them, I copy-paste into my word processor (I like LibreOffice because the word count is at the bottom of the page, but anything with a word counter is fine) and add it to whatever total I get from the script. Thanks for your help and all the best, Miniapolis 15:59, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah OK. Thanks for that. I was just trying to avoid things getting counted that really don't count in the final count, so we have an a fair count when we count. ;) From here on out I won't deduct any extra. Thanks again for all the good work you do! Pax Verbum 16:15, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My pleasure, and enjoy the conference! I enjoy WP when I'm home, but don't miss it when I'm not All the best, Miniapolis 02:19, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

December 2021 GOCE Newsletter

[edit]
Guild of Copy Editors December 2021 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to the December GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since September 2021.

                 Current and upcoming events

Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC). Voting opens at 00:01 the following day and will continue until 31 December at 23:59, just before "Auld Lang Syne". 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.

December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now!

Drive and Blitz reports

September Drive: Almost 400,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 27 people who signed up, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.

October Blitz: From 17 to 23 October, we copy edited articles tagged in May and June 2021 and requests. 8 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

November Drive: Over 350,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 21 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.

Other news

It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community.

Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (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, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis.

WP:AFC Helper News

[edit]

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.
