Reasons for my raising wikistress: Some general observations on Wikipedia governance being broken and good editors trampled by the system Wikipedia is a kawaii mistress :) I agree to the edit counter opt-in terms.

Report Last updated by cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online at 03:47, 15 November 2024 (UTC) WikiCup 2010 June newsletter We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were Ian Rose (submissions) (A), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (B, and the round's overall leader), ThinkBlue (submissions) (C) Casliber (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions) (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself. If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to Stone (submissions) for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

J Milburn, Fox and The ed17 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.

With many thanks in advance for your participation from the coordinator team,  Roger Davies talk 19:30, 17 September 2010 (UTC) Question Hey Piotrus, I hate to bother you, but a suspicious account User:Brownspite has accused and tagged my user page for sockpuppetry. He obviously has not followed policy or protocol. My response to him on his talk page is here. I'm asking your advice as an experienced administrator as to the best way to proceed so my account name is not dragged through the mud unnecessarily. Thank you. CrazyPaco (talk) 21:43, 17 September 2010 (UTC) Thanks Piortrus. I'll give him a little time for him before ANI to reverse his accusation per the message I left for him on his talk page. He may be a newbie and not understand how things work. CrazyPaco (talk) 21:52, 17 September 2010 (UTC) That is true, although he didn't submit a sockpuppet or checkuser investigation as I believe would typically be done. I'm going to be away from Wikipedia this weekend, so I figured I'd just leave it for a couple days since I wouldn't be able respond to any questions at the AN. In your opinion, would this be a best posted at the main AN or ANI if it doesn't resolve itself? I'm assuming that I'd leave the tags up until then. If you think I should proceed immediately with AN/ANI, I will do so. I've never had to do this before. CrazyPaco (talk) 00:11, 18 September 2010 (UTC) Thanks again. I have listed the incident at ANI. Before I leave, if it hasn't been resolved, I will leave a note about being away. CrazyPaco (talk) 00:42, 18 September 2010 (UTC) Re: Vilnija Per your request I looked into my edit from last spring and reverted all the way back to late Dec. 2009, which as I note in the edit summary appears to be the last stable version of the article. Hope this helps. Jusdafax 21:17, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
