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.

GOCE March drive wrap-up
| Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May. Your drive coordinators – Dianna (Talk), Stfg (Talk), and Dank (talk)To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Request for Protection
Hii, good evening to you, wikipedian from India. I hope you would have nice perception regarding indian wikipedian :D :D anyways i am writing here cos want to make a kind attention to one of indian article named Uttar Pradesh. as far as article concern, users occasionally or whenever they get realized that they can also edit on page, they go for some editing fun in poor way. Well i am not saying to bite newcomers because i was a newcomer once too. Just need to indicate, anybody can edit on article but nobody should used to add unnoticeable things. Once here have been section in which someone had added the info. about "khap panchayat people",(khap panchayat is a group of people in villages who are against love marriages in india.They had hanged so many youth indians who were going for love marriages, very awkward and quick-tempering but its true.It is very crucial and controversial topic can also able to spread some kind of riots, and only 4-5% part of the state includes this kind of khap panchayats, so there is strictly no need of describing. I immediately removed that section by giving an warning on talk page.But it was necessary. Despite being this on nov'2000 state was formed into a new state called Uttarakhand. Now this has been mentioned on head of the article, even though it was seen in middle of the article, removed later. ok now the next thing is about the cities. When you are going to read the page thoroughly, you will that exactly 5-6 city's have been mentioned again and again also language used there doesn't seem to be fulfill wikipedia policy,m talking about grammer, where to use capital and small letters etc. Recently census have occurred in India,(census 2011), but there is no literacy figures, sex ratio etc. But besides one of the most important deed is references. References are used to verify whether a user had edited really exits or not we all are well aware of it.Uttar Pradesh's references feels like it is added just to show that "we have added references and you can't say its a without references or put notices". Those are looking just to fulfill Wikipedia's rules. Rules are no more if they are followed for showing. And there is lots more tell but its difficult.Eventually i am hearty pardon, if i've used any kind of bad language or words while writing so many words. I also expect you to always help me regarding articles and everything necessary for a best wikipedian. Please keep guiding and cooperating me. I'd tried to give my best here,overall depends on you. once again ThanksRavishankar (talk) 15:44, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
