Real-life workload: 4

  • 1 = no work pressure
  • 5 = middling
  • > 5 = please don't expect much
  • 10 = frenzied

Please note that I do not normally (1) copy-edit articles or (2) review articles that are not already candidates for promotion to featured status.

Current listening obsession: BWV11, last movement: Wann soll es doch geschehen (JS Bach). Here's the Harnoncourt version, which is great in many ways, but the flutes needed separate miking—they're drowned out in the tutti passages.

November copy edit drive

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!

The Wikipedia Guild of Copy-Editors invites you to participate in the November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue.

Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page.

Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style.

Awards and barnstars

A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants, some of which are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page.

Thank you; we look forward to meeting you on the drive!

FAC

Tony, thanks so much for your contributions today (and in general). If you have a few minutes, I could really use a sanity check at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/CSI effect/archive1. It has several supports, but I did a spot check and found problems. --Andy Walsh (talk) 16:33, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nominal group

I have no reason; I just noticed that one page in question was merge-tagged, while another one is not, so I thought symmetry would be good. Loew Galitz (talk) 17:21, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe there is no reason either should be tagged. They are from completely different linguistic landscapes, as expressed in the sources. Tony (talk) 00:33, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've addressed the points you made in the FAC review and tried to smooth out some other parts. Is there any chance you could have another look, your expertise is much appreciated. Thanks! --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:52, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. I've made the suggested changes except one. If you get a chance to have another look, that would be great but I appreciate you are very busy! --Sarastro1 (talk) 11:10, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise, your comments at this FAC review have also been addressed, and I'd appreciate it if you could check it out. Thanks. Omnedon (talk) 05:23, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tony, thanks for your review of the prose. I have tried to address all the issues you found. Please let me know if there anything else that needs fixing. Regards, SSZ (talk) 07:23, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't it be British Columbia, not British Colombia?

Hi from a friendly tps of Ponyo's, and congrats on writing up such good blurbs on the new admins. betsythedevine (talk) 14:42, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I just made the change, hope that's ok. betsythedevine (talk) 16:26, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blurb

Just one correction. My master's degree is from Western Kentucky University; my undergrad degree is from Murray State University. Both are in Computer Science, if you're interested. Acdixon (talk contribs count) 15:02, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Wasn't sure if it was kosher for me to make the correction, or if the newsletter was maintained by a select group like FAC promotions. Thanks. Acdixon (talk contribs count) 15:08, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, very happy for you to have done it. Tony (talk) 15:36, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rhodocene FAC

Hi Tony... I note your comment at the rhodocene FAC and your interest in particular in Nergaal's comments. Nergaal is now supporting the nomination, fyi, and the article has been through some expansion. I invite you to have a look and to express any view you might have. Regards. EdChem (talk) 15:00, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did you put me in the Signpost?

A painted turtle is swimming, apparently in an aquarium, and we see it front on at large scale, with its left webbed foot raised.
Comical?

Just found out that Painted turtle was in the internal newspaper. Very snappy thing that is, actually. Like the style. TCO (talk) 21:39, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Center HTML tags causing line breaks.

Re [1] and [2]: when I look at the page with the center tags with Firefox 3.6.13 under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I see 6 lines in the caption, tho the text below the caption is fine. After removing the tags, it's 4 normal lines (tho left aligned like the captions of the right-aligned images). -- Jeandré, 2011-02-09t03:10z
