GOCE Newsletter

GOCE July 2010 backlog elimination drive chart Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have now passed the halfway point, so here's an update. Progress Report - Progress toward the targets has been good. 751 articles out of the approximately 1,600 we would like to get completed by the end of the month were done by July 15, so we will be very close to meeting the target for volume. However, we would like to clear all of the 2008 articles from the backlog, and there are still 892 left to do. Please consider choosing one of these older articles when looking for something to copy edit. If we focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Participation Report - 95 people signed up for the July drive. This is a great result compared to May, when we had 36. However, in May only one person that signed up didn't do any copy edits, and in July only 59 of the 95 have posted any copy edits on the big board. The task may seem insurmountable but please remember that if all 95 participants copy edit just one article a day from now until the end of the month, we will eliminate 1,300 more articles from the backlog. So please consider participating at whatever level you can! All contributions are appreciated. This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa (Talk), S Masters (talk), and The Raptor Let's talk.

Somenath Biswas

Page Deleted 

The wikipedia entry on Somenath Biswas, a professor of computer science at IIT Kanpur, doctoral adviser of Manindra Agarwal, inventor of Agrawal-Biswas Identity Testing, NP Creative Sets and Solution Preserving Universal Relations along with several other papers was deleted. His interests are theoretical Computer science and mathematical logic. I think a page is warranted by his important contributions to the field and hence the page must be restored. A wikipedia request has been made on the Computer Science People section. As you were the one responsible for the deletion of the page, I am reporting this here.

New page for author Anushka wirasinha

can you please look at the new page for this writer. we have done considerable work on it. we would appreciate if it can be put on wiki now.

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! — The UtahraptorTalk to me/Contributions, S Masters (talk), and Diannaa (Talk)

AfD review request

I would like you to review Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Croatia–Mongolia relations (2nd nomination) again, in light of three things:

• You closed it as no consensus without it having been relisted. It could have been given some more time instead.
• The keep !votes were mostly contested based on WP:V and WP:NOR and AFAICT this wasn't answered. Therefore, they might be invalid.
• It's been another year and the article is still in the same state, proving my point on it being hopeless.

Thanks in advance. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 22:38, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

That seems like good reason to renominate it to me. I'm not about to simply delete it outright, though. Shimeru 04:50, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
