Guild of Copy Editors September 2019 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2019. June election: Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated! June Blitz: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with requests. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of 585 articles while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May 2015. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585. Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent. September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

Hello, DannyS712. When you moved Square (company) to a new title and then redirected the old title to a disambiguation page, you may not have been aware of WP:FIXDABLINKS, which says:
It would be a great help if you would check the other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "Square (company)" and fix them to take readers to the correct article. Thanks. -- R'n'B ( call me Russ) 01:59, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on
KREPOSTNAYA. I do not think that KREPOSTNAYA fits any of the
speedy deletion criteria because A very simple google search gives the needed context. Note that
WP:CSD#A1 says If any information in the title or on the page, including links, allows an editor, possibly with the aid of a web search, to find further information on the subject in an attempt to expand or edit it, A1 is not appropriate.
. I request that you consider not re-tagging KREPOSTNAYA for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page.

I see you recently accepted a pending change to October 9 that did not include a direct source.
You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the content guideline and the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. I've gone ahead and un-accepted this edit and backed it out.
All the pages in the Days of the Year project have had pending changes protection turned on to prevent vandalism and further addition of entries without direct sources. As a pending changes patroller, please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that day of year page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you. Toddst1 ( talk) 02:46, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Regarding this note, I just added you to the "dbreps" Toolforge shared shell account. Have you used Secure Shell yet? If so and you can successfully access tools-login.wmflabs.org, you should be able to just run "become dbreps" to log in to that shared account. Then I think someone very helpfully wrote a "DEPLOY.sh" script that lives in the account's home directory. Run that script ("./DEPLOY.sh" probably) and that should update the code. It's kind of rare that I touch the "dbreps" shared account honestly, but let me know if you have any questions and I should be able to help. You can view the account's crontab by running "crontab -l". That's where the schedules are largely controlled. You can copy and paste commands from the crontab into the shell directly to update the report as soon as possible instead of waiting for a scheduled run. A few reports run under a separate "mzmcbride" shared account that only I (and the system roots) have access to. You can see who has access to the "dbreps" account if you have access to < https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/id/dbreps>. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 05:55, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

The WikiCup is over for another year! Our Champion this year is Adam Cuerden ( submissions), who over the course of the competition has amassed 91 featured pictures, including 32 in the final round. Our finalists this year were:
All those who reached the final will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field. Awards will be handed out in the coming weeks. Please be patient!
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved much this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
We have opened a scoring discussion on whether the rules and scoring need adjustment. Please have your say. Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2020 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hello DannyS712,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 809 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the
NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some
really cool awards.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Hi DannyS712 This is Greg Abramov (BHMI) the author of "Geotechnology". I'd like to learn what other "reliable sources" have to be added to my submission to meet the criteria.

Hi. I put all the references available worldwide on the Internet and running out of the ideas on how else this article can be improved/edited. I do not see any differences with the article I published here years ago (Borehole Mining). That time, it was an absolutely new topic on Wiki and, as you can see, there's no a single verifiable reference on that page. I do not understand why this time I have so much troubles to publish the "Geotechnology" article which has so many verifiable sources provided. I'm an expert in this Topic with over 40 years of experience but I'm about to give-up. If you cannot explain me what's wrong, please drop it. =GA — Preceding unsigned comment added by BHMI ( talk • contribs) 18:21, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Dear Danny, you reverted my corrective edit of the page Alptraum on Wiktionary. I noticed that you don't speak German, or at least didn't indicate that you do. What I wrote on the discussion page was that the spelling, Alptraum, was affected by the German spelling reform, and that the template I used was the correct one, which also adds the word to the list of the words affected by the reform. The template you reverted to is normally used for inter-related terms, advising other editors to add the details to a given page, rather than for a randomly inter-related word. -- Mahmudmasri ( talk) 18:51, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
Please review the draft at Draft:Disappearance of Ashley Summers. I started working on it back in September under a different IP address and I have added some references to my draft since the last time it was reviewed and declined. It was declined for appearing to be a news report, but I have made some corrections to the article to hopefully make it look less news-like. I personally do not believe that the article reads like a news report, at least not in the present version of the page. Thanks. 173.76.246.128 ( talk) 13:02, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello, DannyS712
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Barkeep49 and it's nice to meet you :-)

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Barkeep49}}

I can get latest editor who edited a specific page using API query. API query of the main page ( open in sandbox). But how I can get the first revision id made by the user in a row? For example "M" user edits WP:sandbox and the revision is "x" . Then they edit it again and the new revision is "x+n" . Then they edit it again and the new revision is "x+o" (where "o">"x" of course). If I know the value of "x+o" then how I can get the value of the first revision in a row ("x") using API? Note: No one else edited the page during M's edit session. Masum Reza 📞 14:43, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I was trying to check about Dr Eduard Glanzmann- he was a Swiss paediatrician.There is no page for him in English Wikipedia and while I was searching more,I stumbled upon the Swiss Wikipedia page about him.So the page on Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia would probably benefit by linking the name.( Angunnu ( talk) 08:30, 12 November 2019 (UTC))

Hi, is there consensus anywhere that says "Foo (xyz player)" should be used over "Foo (xyz)"? I don't see any article titled "Foo (baseball player)" or "Foo (tennis player)", in what way are chess players different? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sinobball ( talk • contribs) 00:01, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

You cannot close a discussion as "delete" if you are not an admin because you cannot delete a page. b uidh e 05:18, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
If you are a non-admin, you will not be able to use the /Working page as it is protected, so do not close discussions that require any of the above 3 actions unless you are prepared to implement them manually, or an admin has agreed to help you.A few admins have been helping me - I post the closes at the bot talk page, admins copy them over (its protected) and then a bot automatically carries out CfD closes.
