redundant information
Hi Mitchell, regarding your addition, [1], it's a repeat of what is written in the first paragraph of 2019 El Paso shooting#United States. In a speech from the White House on August 5, Trump said: "In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America."

- Speaking of repetition, there's no need to thank me seven times in three days, just doing my job. Appreciate the support, but enough's enough and it's time for a change, eh? I prefer to assume my admirers just let their silent contemplation do the cheering, like Japanese wrestling fans; you're verging on American pop idolatry, but there's still time to dial it down a bit.

What I just forwarded may provide a little more insight to WP groups. We have quite a few universities in the heart of Texas ranging from DFW to Austin that we can recruit for project involvement.

Italics for periodicals (newspapers, journals, magazines)
Do you have something (diff) against italicization? Actually, periodicals (newspapers, journals, magazines) should be italicized per MOS:ITALICTITLE (English Wikipedia's Manual of Style). --Russian Rocky (talk) 14:23, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

September 2019 GOCE Newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors September 2019 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2019. June election: Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated! June Blitz: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with requests. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of 585 articles while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May 2015. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585. Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent. September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

GOCE December 2019 Newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors December 2019 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the December 2019 GOCE newsletter, an update of Guild happenings since the September edition. Our Annual Report should be ready in late January. Election time: Nominations for the election of a new tranche of Guild coordinators to serve for the first half of 2020 will be open from 1 to 15 December. Voting will then take place and the election will close on 31 December at 23:59 UTC. Positions for Guild coordinators, who perform the important behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our project running smoothly, are open to all Wikipedians in good standing. We welcome self-nominations so please consider nominating yourself if you've ever thought about helping out; it's your Guild and it doesn't run itself! September Drive: Of the thirty-two editors who signed up, twenty-three editors copy edited at least one article; they completed 39 requests and removed 138 articles from the backlog, bringing the backlog to a low of 519 articles. October Blitz: This event ran from 13 to 19 October, with themes of science, technology and transport articles tagged for copy edit, and Requests. Sixteen editors helped remove 29 articles from the backlog and completed 23 requests. November Drive: Of the twenty-eight editors who signed up for this event, twenty editors completed at least one copy edit; they completed 29 requests and removed 133 articles from the backlog. Our December Blitz will run from 15 to 21 December. Sign up now! Progress report: From September to November 2019, GOCE copy editors processed 154 requests. Over the same period, the backlog of articles tagged for copy editing was reduced by 41% to an all-time low of 479 articles. Request archiving: The archiving of completed requests has now been automated. Thanks to Zhuyifei1999 and Bobbychan193, YiFeiBot is now archiving the Requests page. Archiving occurs around 24 hours after a user's signature and one of the templates {{Done}}, {{Withdrawn}} or {{Declined}} are placed below the request. The bot uses the Guild's standard "purpose codes" to determine the way it should archive each request so it's important to use the correct codes and templates. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators; Reidgreg, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Actions are not accidents
James the Bond 007 (also under former name Gumshoe97) has repeatedly made edits and deletions on other editors' Talk pages, has been cautioned repeatedly on own Talk page about transgressions (which JTB 007 deletes), and in general puts far too much effort into leaving content on editors' Talk pages and Teahouse versus contributing to the encyclopedia. Also seems to be focusing on accruing power, as in asking how to get Twinkle and Rollback, and be an Administrator or Bureaucrat. David notMD (talk) 02:16, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks @David notMD: ~ seems to me that he/she is really excited about editing here on Wiki ~ (I may be wrong of course) ~ but I tend to always give the benefit of the doubt ~ once again Nice to meet you! ~mitch~ (talk) 02:22, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Excited is one thing. Interfering with other editors' Talk pages, and then deleting cautions about that on his own Talk page is another. Let's both hope that going forward, JTB 007 channels enthusiasm into productive article editing. David notMD (talk) 14:34, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- @David notMD: I agree with you ~ but if deleting cautions on your own talk page ~ (which is not against policy) ~ you know they have at least read the cautions ~ from what I have seen, User:James The Bond 007 has only been editing for a couple of months ~ with a group of other young editors ~ that do the same to each other ~ I would give examples but I've got other things to do ~ if you need them, let me know and when I have the time I'll gather them for up you ~ regards ~ ~mitch~ (talk) 14:43, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

It was an accident, and there is nothing wrong on deleting a caution on my talk page after I have read it, the only thing I have done wrong was reverting an edit, but I was testing out twinkle, and I promise this won't happen again --Sir Bond 007 (James The Bond 007) (talk) 15:06, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Reverting talk page edits
As you know reverting or editing other edits comments on a talk page is verboten, unless for vandalism or to correct an error. AGF you perceive that I made an error, however you did not offer an explanation of the improper edit that I made. Could you please clarify. I tried to revert your revert and somehow deleted 33k of comments. Favonian reverted my revert. I am inquiring on Favonians talk page as to what happened. Meanshile please inform me of exactly what was improper with my edit? Presupposing that since it was a survey, I was supposed to support or oppose, but that is not the cases with surveys.. I have seen too many where comments were neither. In my case my comment was valid. The survey is now useless as events have overtaken it.Oldperson (talk) 20:28, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

It is not often that I forget to sign my posts.Oldperson (talk) 21:25, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
How would you reccomend dealing with their flair up. Obviously we established consensus a few months ago, but how would you suggest dealing with this disruptive editing from IPs? Garuda28 (talk) 02:10, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
- I would ask User talk:El C to page protect for a few weeks ~ ~mitch~ (talk) 05:48, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
World leaders bios.
Howdy. Indeed, it would help if you'd de-link on all the bios of US presidents and US vice presidents. Note however, this goes against the linking in the content of all other world leader bios. GoodDay (talk) 15:03, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- @GoodDay: Nice to meet you! ~ sounds great ~ gives me something to do next year ~ Thanks for the note! ~mitch~ (talk) 15:05, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- Would suggest that you'd make the de-linkings today on the US prez & vice prez pages, though. If you are going to go on this editing campaign? without getting a consensus first? You're likely to hit road bumps along the way. Having Bill Clinton different from the others, looks quite sloppy. GoodDay (talk) 15:09, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- PS- I've informed editors at Donald Trump, of your plans. Since it relates to that article. GoodDay (talk) 15:14, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- @GoodDay: Pressure does not work for me ~ revert all you want and forget I even mentioned policy ~ regards ~ ~mitch~ (talk) 15:37, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- I'm more concerned with keeping a 'hard cover encyclopedia practice' of consistency, in group articles. GoodDay (talk) 15:40, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Happy New Year
File:Happy New Year 2020 Images HD Download (5).jpg | ~ Happy New Year ~ |
I learned the craziest thing now that you led me to this page. here ("In Puerto Rico") -- I learned that it's not so much Auld Lang Syne but an eleven-minute long monologue honoring one's mother. Could you imagine??! Being a little tipsy or drunk and having to listen to an 11-minute monolugue honoring one's mother, even absent mothers- that's a little different - Anyway, I'd actually never seen or heard the El Brindis del Bohemio (the toast of the Bohemian) a poem largely dedicated to our moms.. recited on New Year's Eve in P.R. but I believe it. For me New Year's Eve is all about trying to stay clear of the drunk men trying to kiss me.
As always, you teach me stuff. Happy New Year! My coquito finished. I may need another bottle of that so I can drink it while I listen to the Toast of the Bohemian, of course... because I guess that's what we do.--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 13:38, 31 December 2019 (UTC) |

The pilot in command of an aircraft is the person aboard who is ultimately responsible for its operation and safety during flight. This would be the captain in a typical two- or three-pilot aircrew, or "pilot" if there is only one certificated and qualified pilot at the controls of an aircraft.

Draft:Celebrity Apex
Hi Mitchell. I was wondering if you are open to having Draft:Celebrity Apex moved to the main space. The ship is nearing its launch date, and I am hoping to preempt other editors seeing a redlink and creating Celebrity Apex, thus likely forcing us to conduct a HISTMERGE between your draft and the hypothetical new article. Let me know if you are open to conducting this move. Thanks. SamHolt6 (talk) 06:40, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Dana White using a certain f-word
White's use of the f-word t, meaning the f-word that's traditionally used as an anti-gay slur, is in ta YouTube video and the use of that word is also mentioned in the Bleacher Report cite.

Hey Mitch, Old News
I've been reaccepted into society, just needed to promise to sign real shit in a [given name]-[surname] format again. Thanks for reminding me how it's done. And for your wonderfully bad timing! InedibleHulk (talk) 03:27, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
@InedibleHulk: What the hell did I do wrong now? ~mitch~ (talk) 20:28, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- Nothing, you're golden. But back when my goat died, you pre-empted the bad news with some clever misindentry. It was wrong, but just on one level, not so many. Anyway, I'm off to seek my fortune. If that includes another buck, his middle name shall be Mitch. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:20, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

- Great, now we're both confused. Are you the supposed asshole, or me? I didn't "undo" anything in a revert sense, but I may have been the whole conversation's "undoing". That's why I'm leaving, though, to rediscover communication. I'll explain more efficiently when I'm eloquent, dammit! InedibleHulk (talk) 23:21, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

GOCE March newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors March 2020 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2019. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2020, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. Election results: There was little changeover in the roster of Guild Coordinators, with Miniapolis stepping down with distinction as a coordinator emeritus while Jonesey95 returned as lead coordinator. The next election is scheduled for June 2020 and all Wikipedians in good standing may participate. January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work, completing 215 copy edits including 56 articles from the Requests page and 116 backlog articles from the target months of June to August 2019. At the conclusion of the drive there was a record low of 323 articles in the copy editing backlog. Of the 27 editors who signed up for the drive, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. February Blitz: Of the 15 editors who signed up for this one-week blitz, 13 completed at least one copy edit. A total of 32 articles were copy edited, evenly split between the twin goals of requests and the oldest articles from the copy-editing backlog. Full results are here. March Drive: Currently underway, this event is targeting requests and backlog articles from September to November 2019. As of 18 March, the backlog stands at a record low of 253 articles and is expected to drop further as the drive progresses. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Help set a new record and sign up now! Progress report: As of 18 March, GOCE copyeditors have completed 161 requests in 2020 and there was a net reduction of 385 articles from the copy-editing backlog – a 60% decrease from the beginning of the year. Well done and thank you everyone! Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

GOCE June newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors June 2020 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the June newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since March 2020. You can unsubscribe from our mailings at any time; see below. All times and dates stated are in UTC. Current events
Election time: Nomination of candidates in our mid-year Election of Coordinators opened on 1 June, and voting will take place from 00:01 on 16 June. GOCE coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, or you know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. June Blitz: This blitz begins at 00:01 on 14 June and ends at 23:59 on 20 June, with themes of articles tagged for copyedit in May 2020 and requests. Drive and blitz reports
March Drive: Self-isolation from coronavirus may have played a hand in making this one of our most successful backlog elimination drives. The copy-editing backlog was reduced from 477 to a record low of 118 articles, a 75% reduction. The last four months of 2019 were cleared, reducing the backlog to three months. Fifty requests were also completed, and the total word count of copy-edited articles was 759,945. Of the 29 editors who signed up, 22 completed at least one copy edit. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. April Blitz: This blitz ran from 12 to 18 April with a theme of Indian military history. Of the 18 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed a total of 60 copyedits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. May Drive: This event marked the 10th anniversary of the GOCE's copy-editing drives, and set a goal of diminishing the backlog to just one month of articles, as close to zero articles as possible. We achieved the goal of eliminating all articles that had been tagged prior to the start of the drive, for the first time in our history! Of the 51 editors who signed up, 43 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
Progress report: as of 2 June, GOCE participants had processed 328 requests since 1 January, which puts us on pace to exceed any previous year's number of requests. As of the end of the May drive, the backlog stood at just 156 articles, all tagged in May 2020. Outreach: To mark the 10th anniversary of our first Backlog Elimination Drive, The Signpost contributor and GOCE participant Puddleglum2.0 interviewed project coordinators and copy-editors for the journal's April WikiProject Report. The Drive and the current Election of Coordinators have also been covered in The Signpost's May News and Notes page. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

William Mariner was an Englishman who lived in Tonga from 29 November 1806 to (probably) 8 November 1810. He later published Tonga Islands, an account of his experiences that is now one of the major sources of information on Tonga before it was significantly influenced by European culture and Christianity. Pictured is Mariner in Tongan attire.

removal of references
I would like to discuss your removal of the references to the Shipler Report in the article on the declaration of independence and Thomas Jefferson. Since David Shipler is a well-recognized author and the material of the blog entry is very relevant to the articles from which you have deleted them, I question the removal and wish to reinstate them. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 13:13, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- 83d40m ~ Nice to meet you ~ I'm not questioning the author or the material ~ the site you have linked to has a Trojan virus attached to it ~ I wrote that in the summary. Clean the virus up and reinsert if you like. regards ~mitch~ (talk) 13:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

- Thanks, am glad that it is not for content or author grounds. Am not very tech savvy -- can I do this or does it have to be done by the blog? Any guidance to how I would do it, would be most appreciated. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 14:36, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- I went to the link you provided, but am blocked from it, have no idea of how to proceed. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk)
- 83d40m the blog has to take of it. It's something that your anti virus program should have caught for you. I use a free type of virus protection. Malware bytes and Avast they should be able to give you more information about the site you visit. very simple to follow instructions ~ I'm not very tech savvy either. ~mitch~ (talk) 15:48, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks -- I will try to resolve both issues. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk)
-
- Communications with the blog site indicate they requested guidance from Google and were told that it was because of the secure "s" being missing... I wonder, because the history indicates that it was present in the post that gave you the warning. Now, maybe that is a solution at the site. Could you please test the link again to see whether you obtain the same warning?
https://shiplerreport.blogspot.com/2020/07/the-paragraph-missing-from-declaration.html I would rather not post it again until it looks safe to you. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 01:24, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- Good morning 83d40m, I just tested the link and it is still being blocked ~ I'm sure that the blogger will have to fix it on their end. ~mitch~ (talk) 11:04, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

- I can identify with that! Thank you, anything you can do to figure this out will be greatly appreciated. Is the warning exactly the same again? I will send it to the blogger and note that it is not resolved. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 11:33, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- 83d40m,thanks, yes it is the same warning, I don't know what to say. to make sure it wasn't something on my end, I ran both my anti-virus programs just in case it was in my memory, the page is still being blocked and not just the article but even the home page. ~mitch~ (talk) 11:35, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you Mitchellhobbs, I will let the blogger know all of that. Will let you know when the blogger advises that a correction has been made. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 12:11, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
Mitchellhobbs, I took the issue to the best technician I know and here is the response,
I ran a security check on that blog (https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/https/shiplerreport.blogspot.com) It found no problems with it. Not sure why Wikipedia is flagging it.
Reading that scan report shows that it is clean by all of the noted standards. So that obviously is why I get no warning with the blog or its article. You know, when I posted the link as a reference, a generic warning from Wikipedia about the dangers of blogs appeared and made me make the post again as a precaution, so I am wondering whether that is what you are getting. That entry stood for some time without any other editor reversing it. That makes me suspect that no one else found the post dangerous. And on top of that, the link to the blog is on the author's WP article page. It has been there for a long time. Can you please check with more technically advanced editors at WP about your reversal of the posts I made with the same links? It looks safe for me to post the references again, but obviously you must agree. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 13:43, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- 83d40m, you don't have to ping me on my own talk page, wiki lets me know anytime someone leaves a message here ~ I did not just follow your link. I googled "shiplerreport.blogspot.com" and then went to the link on google. I would be weary if I got a flag from wiki ~ I can't tell you which way to go ~ if you reinsert, I will not undo . ~mitch~ (talk) 14:41, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
Thanks -- I'll go ahead and post the references again. I'll revert if there have been no entries following yours -- otherwise I will make a new post. Wiki merely cautions one to be sure that the blog is not a problem, a good caution to editors and perhaps discouraging many with problem links -- but the decision is left to the editor to complete the post. Sucuri may be the best double check to use, I know I will keep it for future use. It was a pleasure working this out with you. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 15:45, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2020 Newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors September 2020 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2020. Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Election reminder: our end-of-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 December. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: An uncorrected typo (even copy editors make copy editing mistakes!) led to an eight-day "leap blitz" from 14 to 21 June, focusing on requests and articles tagged in May. 19 participating editors claimed 54 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Over 750,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event, keeping pace with the previous three self-isolated drives. Of the 38 people who signed up, 30 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 16 to 22 August, we copy edited articles tagged in June and July 2020 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 37 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Baffle gab1978, Tdslk, Twofingered Typist, and first-time coordinator Puddleglum2.0. Reidgreg took a break after serving for a couple years. Thanks to everyone who participated! Progress report: As of 01:33, 18 September 2020 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 532 requests since 1 January and there were 38 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978, Puddleglum2.0, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

The Bells are ringing
Dear Mitchell,
I expected, when I got your ping, that you had fixed a mistake that I'd made and consequently I appreciated that. I was surprised to see that I hadn't. The format I used for the cite was perfectly acceptable I believe, just as was your substitute. I prefer the briefer form which requires less thought and consumes less time, but it communicates all the necessary info. I'd have written this note to your private email, as I'm not trying to be publicly critical, but you don't have one connected. I do think that Kruse deserves a page and if I have to, I'll create one. Given the latitude that the current U.S. administration has given corporate malfeasant players and the strange time lag for prosecution, I'm quite surprised that Kruse is being prosecuted at all. There is an article for a different person with the same name, which is why I left the red linked name to reflect that. My intended return was to make sure the descriptor "businessman" was appropriate. I'm going to restore that and hope that you would read that article from which I'll be citing. Lastly, I don't know why you put the descriptor, "alleged," in quotes, and I'll be removing them. I'm baffled as to what you are inferring with the unreferenced term "copyrighted." Feel free to erase this message, of course. Activist (talk) 20:44, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Activist: The format you use as a cite does not allow the bots to restore any cite, that is why I use the example I gave you and as far as Kruse being red line ~ fine with me. As far as being copyrighted it seems that you are just putting information out with out a NPOV. Regards ~mitch~ (talk) 14:21, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Activist: Your edits here and here look fine with me! Regards ~mitch~ (talk) 14:27, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back to me. Also, thanks for the info about the cites. I presume that you mean that if a bot was going to try to cure a problem, if one existed, with the cite, it couldn't accomplish that. I expect that in the case of a link going dead, that the bot couldn't, add say a Wayback Machine URL that would get the reader to a useful cite/live link. Is that the case? I'm still not clear about giving me a heads up on a possible NPOV violation or copyright situation. Can you clarify? Thanks again, especially for handling this in a professional manner. I'll get to the Cruse article when I can, but I'm way behind. I've started to create articles on numerous bios that have been dormant for months because I haven't been able to spare the time.

Thanks ~ The Eloquent Peasant! ~ ~ ~ Bb bb ack at.. Yy yyou! ~ ~mitch~ (talk) 18:51, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Hey Mitch, Good News!
It's 2021, time for unity, togetherness and compl...oh, you've heard. Well, I for one agree with the overall notion, a cause for celebration straight across the turtle's back, from Shanghai to Dubai and right back atcha, from ground control to Captain Tom, major medical advances to general spiritual creep, Bob's your uncle and happy happy joy joy. Since you already have a socially virtual parade, have a 🍄, it might make them seem different, brother! InedibleHulk (talk) 05:26, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- @InedibleHulk: Yes, I bought the socially virtual parade, without the fireworks although probably, Trump, in his creepiness, would love to think he's a spicy firecracker. Happy New Year! --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 11:20, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- In the 70s, he wasn't delusional, creeps were spicy! But yeah, in his 70s, I feel bad for Melania. I hope she winds up with Brigitte Bardot next, that'd still be hot. Or if not hot, a kinder fate. "Neat" at least. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:56, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- As I read and reread this all I can do is nod my head and say out loud, "that's true, it's all true." If she were smart she could play him. She could move on. All eyes are on Melania in 2021.--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 13:18, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- The Eloquent Peasant ~ I like the one you reverted better ~ LOL ~mitch~ (talk) 14:43, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- Couldn't agree more. No offense, Peasant, but that ain't music! Maybe Europe can't give Melania what she needs after all, not the way Old Montreal could. Fifty on the humidex, sax on the hill, the smell of smoked meat in the air and the sights of strange brew down the street...ah, I still remember the day she first smiled upon our Prime Minister. Such unbridled things left unspoken she did flutter, I dare not repeat them amongst gentlemen. But oh, what a wonderful world! InedibleHulk (talk) 15:33, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- Winston Churchill was a great prime minister. Glad Boris made it through COVID-19. Unfortunately, Trump didn't. He lost. My bet is that Melania's been conditioned to stay. And I most likely don't like the music you like. Music is all a very personal choice. It is a beautiful world! --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 17:17, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- We like some of the same tunes, statistically speaking, just started on the wrong note. Anyway, if she's staying south of the border, it wasn't meant to be, c'est la vie. They'll always have Ottawa. Besides, Trudeau's official partner was fine before catching the superbug, and she's still fine after developing those hot new antibodies everyone's talking about. If I were the Prime Minister of Canada and she were my wife, I wouldn't risk a romantic rendezvous with anyone less than the Governor General herself, I'd stay home. Anyway, keep an eye on that First Lady, she could be the next Becky G, with or without a significant other, she's got "it". It was nice meeting you, adios for now! InedibleHulk (talk) 19:15, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- Mitch said, "I like the one you reverted better." And had I not reverted it, the link to the song by Becky G would have made more sense. Take the old man for all he's worth and go live it up with a young man! Or something like that is what I first said. But communication has never been my forte.--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 20:37, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- I hear you fine, it's her who has the problem. Becky G, I mean, lay off the Autotune, you don't need Dr. Luke to make your pitch shift, you were born with the chords inside you all along, sing for real or get lost in the mix. Melania, stay golden, girl! InedibleHulk (talk) 01:23, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Gordon Ramsay Michelin stars
I agree that it is valid to show "a cumulation of all the stars in their restaurants", which would reflect someone's standing as a restaurateur, instead of a rating of a chef, which Michelin does not do. But then shouldn't it show seven stars? A cumulation of Michelin stars for Ramsay's current restaurants would be 2 [Restaurant Gordon Ramsay] + 1 [Pétrus] + 1 [Versailles] + 2 [Le Pressoir d'Argent, Bordeaux] = 7. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephs758 (talk • contribs) 14:20, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

September 2021 Guild of Copy Editors newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors September 2021 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021. Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event.

June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

December 2021 GOCE Newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors December 2021 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the December GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since September 2021. Current and upcoming events
Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC). Voting opens at 00:01 the following day and will continue until 31 December at 23:59, just before "Auld Lang Syne". Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now! Drive and Blitz reports
September Drive: Almost 400,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 27 people who signed up, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. October Blitz: From 17 to 23 October, we copy edited articles tagged in May and June 2021 and requests. 8 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. November Drive: Over 350,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 21 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. Other news
It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community. Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Squash is a racket and ball sport played by two or four players in a four-walled court with a small, hollow rubber ball. The players alternate in striking the ball with their rackets onto the playable surfaces of the four walls of the court. The objective of the game is to hit the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return.
