Reverted edit edit

Hello. Could you please tell me why did you revert my edit in Kevin Jon Heller? The very article describes him as a prolific blogger. I was including information on where he blogs; namely, he is one of the editors of one of the most widely read blogs in international law. Thanks. Pugliese23 (talk) 00:10, 16 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Pugliese23: I don't know why Huggle (which is what I was using) didn't leave a warning. I reverted your edit because it did not have a source to back up the claim, something especially important for biographies of living persons (or BLP's). JML1148 (Talk | Contribs) 00:15, 16 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough. Thank you! Pugliese23 (talk) 00:34, 16 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message edit

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:51, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

John Pesutto edit

Thanks for your edit to John Pesutto! I fixed a few grammatical errors and cleaned up the Wikitext, as well as changing a few sections to make them easier to read and less ambiguous. I also confirmed that David Southwick is staying on as deputy Liberal leader and added that back to the infobox. Aydenholtonvlogs (talk) 02:27, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Aydenholtonvlogs Hello, I don't actually know if David Southwick has stayed on as deputy leader, as I cannot find any sources confirming this. Can you please refrain from adding information without confirming that it is correct. JML1148 (Talk | Contribs) 03:26, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Aydenholtonvlogs I must have missed that article. Thank you for showing me this! JML1148 (Talk | Contribs) 00:18, 9 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter edit

Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter
 

 

Hello and welcome to our latest newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since October. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.

Blitz: Our October Copy Editing Blitz focused on July and August 2022 request months; and articles tagged for c/e in December 2021 and January 2022. Seventeen of those who signed up claimed at least one copy-edit, and between them copy-edited forty-six articles. Barnstars awarded are here.

Drive: In the November Backlog Elimination Drive, thirty editors signed up, twenty-two of whom claimed at least one copy-edit. Both target months—December 2021 and January 2022—were cleared, and February was added to the target months. Sixteen requests were copy-edited and 239 articles were removed from the backlog. Barnstars awarded are here.

Blitz: Our seven-day-long December 2022 Copy Editing Blitz begins on 17 December at 00:01 (UTC)*. It will focus on articles tagged for copy-edit in February 2022, and pending requests from September and October. Barnstars awarded will be available here.

Progress report: As of 22:40, 8 December 2022, GOCE copyeditors have processed 357 requests since 1 January, there were seventy-four requests outstanding and the backlog stands at 1,791 articles. We always need skilled copy-editors; please help out if you can.

Election news: Nomination of candidates for the GOCE's Election of Coordinators for the first half of 2023 is open and continues until 23:59 on 15 December. Voting begins at 00:01 on 16 December and closes at 23:59 on 31 December. All editors in good standing (not under ArbCom or community sanctions) are eligible and self-nominations are welcomed. Coordinators serve a six-month term that ends at 23:59 on June 30. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, please nominate yourself or any editor you consider suitable—with their permission, of course!. It's your Guild and it doesn't coordinate itself.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers and best seasonal wishes from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis, Tenryuu, and Zippybonzo.

*All times and dates on this newsletter are UTC.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter error edit

The GOCE December 2022 newsletter, as sent on 9 December, contains an erroneous start date for our December Blitz. The Blitz will start on 11 December rather than on 17 December, as stated in the newsletter. I'm sorry for the mistake and for disrupting your talk page; thanks for your understanding.
