I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Un Cuarto de Siglo, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! ==Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:49, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up
| Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!

Excuse me, why did you revert my edit? It's been discussed. Since Rachel is ex-step-mother, it shouldn't be listed. And I moved Karen in front of Dan because she was the most prominent parent. Jayy008 (talk) 19:15, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion contested: Global Springs of Learning Academy
Hello AirplanePro. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Global Springs of Learning Academy, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to schools. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk 'bout it! 20:07, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Motoharu Okamura
Hello AirplanePro. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Motoharu Okamura, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk 'bout it! 21:48, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- AirplanePro, just so you know, I don't think that WP:PROD is appropriate here, since that is only to be used for uncontroversial deletion proposals. Since there is at least one person who claims that this topic should not be deleted, it is controversial, and AfD would be more proper for deleting it. --Slon02 (talk) 03:31, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Barnstar for me
Thanks I guess you mean all of the category talk pages I've made lately; I've created several hundred today, so that's probably why I was showing up as a new page patroller. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:13, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello AirplanePro,
Unconditional apologies I know you are in the middle of doing a CopyEd on my request. I was waiting for you to finish to make this and other changes. But when someone else jumped in. That made me to make this. Apologies. Perseus 71 talk 02:01, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hi AirplanePro, Have you finished the edits on this article? If so, could you please remove it from the Requests Page? We don't have an archive for completed requests so you just take it off the list. Thanks. --Diannaa (Talk) 20:02, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks from the GOCE
| Thank you very much for signing up for the Guild of Copy Editors' September Backlog Elimination Drive! The copyedit backlog stretches back two years, to the summer of 2008! We're going to need all the help we can muster to reduce the backlog to a manageable size. We've set a goal of clearing all of 2008 from the backlog, and getting the total under 5000. To do that, we're going to need more participants. Please invite anyone you can to join the drive! Once again, thanks for your support! If you have any questions, contact one of our coordinators—ɳorɑfʈ Talk!, The Raptor You rang?, or SMasters (Talk). | |

Wikify Drive
Since you signed up for the September 2010 GOCE event, I wanted to invite you to participate in a similar event: the September 2010 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. In case you didn't know, "Wikification" is the process of formatting articles using Wiki markup (as opposed to plain text or HTML) and adding internal links to material. Barnstars will be awarded to participating editors. Thanks!

Wikify drive coordinate
I'm up for co-coordinating, if you like. ℳono 00:26, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the invite. I'm not sure if this would have been better if you organized it so that it would not clash with the GOCE September drive. As it appears to be modeled on the GOCE drive, having it on the same month might be confusing. In addition, I'm not sure how many people you will get as we will all be busy with our own drive. For example, having it in October would have been much better. Just IMHO. – S Masters (talk) 04:04, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
