The Signpost: 31 August 2023

Your GA nomination of Danny Lendich

The article Danny Lendich you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Danny Lendich for comments about the article, and Talk:Danny Lendich/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Septermber GOCE newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors September 2023 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to the September 2023 newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since June. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.

David Thomsen: Prolific Wikipedian and Guild member David Thomsen (Dthomsen8) died in November 2022. He was a regular copy editor who took part in many of our Drives and Blitzes. An obituary was published in the mid-July issue of The Signpost. Tributes can be left on David's talk page.

Election news: In our mid-year Election of Coordinators, Dhtwiki was chosen as lead coordinator, Miniapolis and Zippybonzo continue as assistant coordinators, and Baffle gab1978 stepped down from the role. If you're interested in helping out at the GOCE, please consider nominating yourself for our next election in December; it's your WikiProject and it doesn't organize itself!

June Blitz: Of the 17 editors who signed up for our June Copy Editing Blitz, 12 copy-edited at least one article. 70,035 words comprising 26 articles were copy-edited. Barnstars awarded are here.

July Drive: 34 of the 51 editors who took part in our July Backlog Elimination Drive copy-edited at least one article. They edited 276 articles and 683,633 words between them. Barnstars awarded are here.

August Blitz: In our August Copy Editing Blitz, 13 of the 16 editors who signed up worked on at least one article. Between them, they copy-edited 79,608 words comprising 57 articles. Barnstars awarded are available here.

September Drive: Sign up here for our month-long September Backlog Elimination Drive, which is now underway. Barnstars awarded will be posted here.

Progress report: As of 14:29, 9 September 2023 (UTC), GOCE copy editors have processed 245 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stands at 2,066.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis and Zippybonzo.

  • Voting will be both online, via emailed ballots from the ElectionBuddy service, and in-person.

April Showers (businesswoman) wiki submission

Hi Voorts, Thank you for reviewing my first Wiki and for supplying feedback. I have now edited it to be factual in nature and re-submitted. Everything stated is referenced with major news sources. Is there a statement or paragraph that is a roadblock to the approval process? I'm just hoping for a little help as it's my first wiki and not sure what else would need be done in order for it to be published. Kindly advice.

Including the link to the draft -> Draft:April Showers (businesswoman)

With gratitude, Beth BethBrett (talk) 21:48, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

I don't remember what the article looked like when I originally declined the draft, but from a brief skim, it looks pretty good right now. I recommend reviewing Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, particularly WP:NPOV, WP:RS, WP:V, and WP:N. My general practice is not to take requests to re-review articles. As a matter of fairness to others waiting for reviews, I only review random articles at AFC. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:17, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
Thank you very much for this info and for help with the review process for the wiki community. BethBrett (talk) 14:18, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
