GOCE July drive wrap-up
Guild of Copy Editors July 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up
Participation: Out of 45 people who signed up this drive, 31 have copy-edited at least one article. Lfstevens continues to carry most of the weight, having edited 360 articles and over a quarter of a million words already. Thanks to all who have participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, will be available early in August here. Progress report: We are once again very close to achieving in our primary goal—removing the oldest three months from the backlog. Only 35 such articles remain at press time. The total backlog currently sits at under 2400 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We are just two articles away from completing all requests made before July 2012 (both are in progress). Copy Edit of the Month: Starting in August, you'll be able to submit your best copy-editing work for palaver, praise, and prizes. See here for details. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

WikiCup 2012 July newsletter
We're approaching the beginning of 2012's final round. Pool A sees 
Cwmhiraeth (submissions) as the leader, with 300 points being awarded for the featured article Bivalvia, and Pool B sees 
Grapple X (submissions) in the lead, with 10 good articles, and over 35 articles eligible for good topic points. Pool A sees 
Muboshgu (submissions) in second place with a number of articles relating to baseball, while Pool B's 
Ruby2010 (submissions) follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film Pride & Prejudice. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.
Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions! As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Democratic Party of Hong Kong Logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Democratic Party of Hong Kong Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:00, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Nick Brandt's page, question.
Hi Wilhelmina Will, Can you help with a few images that I would like to replace but not sure how to change them to the right sizes? My email is unconscious.intelligence@gmail.com. Please send me an email and I will show you the images. Thank you! Thisandthem (talk) 11:24, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- I'd love to help, Thisandthem, but is it necessary to communicate by email? The images you intend to replace are the ones in the article, right? Like my singing? Ha-la-la-la-la-la-LA-LAAA!!! (talk) 08:46, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yes they are the ones in the article. They are Tiff files now and I'm not that savy on uploading. They are lightened so not to look so dark in the article. I keep getting an error that it's a different file from the jpeg. I suggested email so I could let you take a look at the files, but maybe that's not necessary. Let me know what you think?Thisandthem (talk) 09:34, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) It's because it's a different file extension. You cannot replace an existing Example.jpeg with Example.tiff, but you can convert the file to jpeg on your computer, then upload; or upload to tiff then request deletion of the jpeg. benzband (talk) 10:11, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
- Will it change the contrast of the image? I think if I keep it in tiff it will preserve the lightness or darkness. Not sure though.Thisandthem (talk) 10:19, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

RfA
I've seen you operate and am considering looking through your contributions to see if you are ready to be nominated for RfA (again). Before I do that, would you actually be interested in running? Ryan Vesey 16:57, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you, Ryan Vesey, but as much as I would like to be an admin someday, I'm still not sure I'm fit for the position. There are many responsibilities which come with handling the mop, and with the responsibilities I face offline and on sites other than Misplaced Pages, I'm finding it increasingly challenging to make time to contribute like I once did. I'd like to wait until I have things more organized, and can balance editing with everything else. I'm very glad you think of me as sysop material though - this is the second time someone's told me this, this year! :) Like my singing? Ha-la-la-la-la-la-LA-LAAA!!! (talk) 08:52, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Don't think your recent contribution is Eugamandus articles such as Eugamandus schwarzi. Eugamandus tuberculatus are going unnoticed. Keep up good work! With my good wishes  Tito Dutta ✉ 06:32, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
