words[edit]

rollover words are from previous blitzes, right? FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 15:29, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They're from the previous blitz. All the best, Miniapolis 20:13, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, here's a link to the list of rollover words from that blitz. —Torchiest talkedits 16:35, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not relevant to my situation, as I haven’t blitzed before, but I’m having trouble making sense of “There are no rollover words for this blitz […]” at Signing up—is that a leftover from the inaugural event, or am I just failing to understand the context?—Odysseus1479 (talk) 04:21, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's a carry-over, and I made the same mistake for the December blitz too (but I checked the rollover words when computing the barnstars then, and have checked them for this drive too). Corrected now. Thanks for spotting it. --Stfg (talk) 10:28, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blitz prep[edit]

(Sounds like "blitz plotz" from The Mouse That Roared :-)) Signpost, Rewards and Community Bulletin Boards have been notified; Om and userboxes have already been updated. A combined blitz/March drive invitation can be sent when the March drive page is created. All the best, Miniapolis 21:17, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

start[edit]

can we start copy editing? FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 19:59, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead :) --Stfg (talk) 20:19, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Plea for extension[edit]

I’m still working on my measly single article, and will be finished in a matter of hours—before the 23rd ends in my time-zone. Please give me a chance to finish up before closing the results, unless it’s a great inconvenience. Thanks, Odysseus1479 (talk) 00:56, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody's hatted it yet (and I'm too busy at the moment to do it myself), so happy copyediting! :-) All the best, Miniapolis 02:20, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
