GOCE March drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive update Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter. Participation: We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far. Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers. Your drive coordinators – Dianna (talk), Stfg (talk), and Dank (talk) To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Thanks so much, Kbob. Yes, many editors worked on that article, definitely a group effort.(olive (talk) 18:23, 2 April 2013 (UTC))

AE Appeal

Hi Olive. I have now lodged my appeal against my banning. Apparently it could not be heard by Arbcom. Cheers. Rumiton (talk) 11:28, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Rumiton. I 'd like to comment, so thanks for the notice.(olive (talk) 15:03, 5 April 2013 (UTC))

GAR

Per WP:GAR I am notifying you of a discussion about a re-assement of the article John Hagelin. IRWolfie- (talk) 21:49, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Just a small note, it's generally seen to be in bad taste to drop, in the middle of a civil discussion, that a topic is covered under discretionary sanctions. It just leads to the question of why you felt the need to do it (especially for an article where there the need was felt to add the DS template). IRWolfie- (talk) 21:51, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

IRWolfie, I think you're really pushing the boundaries of good judgement here. This is quickly beginning to look like harassment, and I will not hesitate to block you if it continues. I assume you've read Silk Torks comment at the "request", yes? Olive's "needs", just like her personal life, should not be your concern. — Ched :  ?  22:04, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

IRWolfie, In fact an editor mentioned deleting 75% of the content on the JH article. Unless discussed and per the discretionary sanctions this would be a violation. I thought it was fair to mention it. (olive (talk) 00:11, 9 April 2013 (UTC))

COI

Can you please confirm or deny whether you work or have a connection to (Redacted). This question is in connection primarily with your edits to John Hagelin. IRWolfie- (talk) 22:33, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, but where I work or don't is no one 's business. I suggest you review the TG arbitration for further information on the implications of pursuing editors based on making COI connections. (olive (talk) 22:42, 5 April 2013 (UTC))

Since your statements have a chilling effect on my ability to ask you any further questions, I have no other option but to see clarification from ArbCom directly. IRWolfie- (talk) 22:58, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Please do. You are pursuing questions that have no bearing on anything except an apparent desire to implicate me in some wrong doing. You should pursue this until you you are satisfied, if that's what you want. (olive (talk) 23:10, 5 April 2013 (UTC))

I have posted a request for clarification at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification_and_Amendment#Clarification_request:_TimidGuy_ban_appeal. IRWolfie- (talk) 23:17, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Wolfie, you are trying to OUT another user. This is inappropriate behavior. You are making inappropriate threats without justification. Olive is one of the most good faith users on wikipedia and doesn't need your harassment. Montanabw 17:19, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

John Gray/MERU

Hi Olive and thanks again for all your contributions to the TM topic. This is a note to let you know that today I merged content from the coatrack MERU, Holland article into the Transcendental Meditation movement Organizations/Maharishi Foundation section. So the John sentence that you were working on is now in that location. I also carried forward to the TM movement talk page the ongoing discussion about John Gray and his MERU/MUM degrees. I hope this is not too confusing. Let me know if I need to explain further :-) Thanks, -- — Keithbob • Talk • 18:03, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Precious again

support
Thank you for spicing the project with the ingredients "civility, kindness, a sense of humour", for writing about love as cure, for supporting editors who are silenced, and for the line "This is the encyclopedia anyone can edit" means that all editors should be treated fairly". This is not yet the encyclopedia anyone can edit, let's work on it, - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (18 March 2009)!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:20, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

A year ago, you were the 92nd recipient of my PumpkinSky Prize, repeated in br'erly style, - let's work on it, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:13, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
