A barnstar for you!
The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar | |
Thank you for your help with fighting vandalism; yes, this might seem like a template, but most of the messages I write end up like that. =) BytEfLUSh Talk 01:20, 4 February 2018 (UTC) |
- Thanks for affirming me! Zyc1174 (talk) 01:22, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
Pending changes reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.
Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.
See also:
- Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, the guideline on reviewing
- Wikipedia:Pending changes, the summary of the use of pending changes
- Wikipedia:Protection policy#Pending changes protection, the policy determining which pages can be given pending changes protection by administrators.
Rollback granted
Hi Zyc1174. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Beeblebrox (talk) 02:37, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

GOCE February 2018 news
Guild of Copy Editors February 2018 News
Welcome to the February 2018 GOCE newsletter in which you will find Guild updates since the December edition. We got to a great start for the year, holding the backlog at nine months. 100 requests were submitted in the first 6 weeks of the year and were swiftly handled with an average completion time of 9 days. Coordinator elections: In December, coordinators for the first half of 2018 were elected. Jonesey95 remained as lead coordinator and Corrine, Miniapolis and Tdslk as assistant coordinators. Keira1996 stepped down as assistant coordinator and was replaced by Reidgreg. Thanks to all who participated! End of year reports were prepared for 2016 and 2017, providing a detailed look at the Guild's long-term progress. January drive: We set out to remove April, May, and June 2017 from our backlog and all December 2017 Requests (a total of 275 articles). As with previous years, the January drive was an outstanding success and by the end of the month all but 57 of these articles were cleared. Officially, of the 38 who signed up, 21 editors recorded 259 copy edits (490,256 words). February blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 February, focusing on Requests and the last articles tagged in May 2017. At the end of the week there were only 14 pending requests, with none older than 20 days. Of the 11 who signed up, 10 editors completed 35 copy edits (98,538 words). 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, Miniapolis, Corinne, Tdslk, and Reidgreg.

PERM
Hi. I don't think it's a good idea to advise anyone with only 101 edits to use Twinkle to CSD articles. All it does is make double work for the accredited patrollers. Even you are not a New Page Reviewer - yet. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:38, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- Oh. Well...sorry. That was embarrassing. Zyc1174 chat? what I did 09:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
but i got proof
i didnt lie check the tv listings link https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=pt&u=http://www.cartoonnetwork.com.br/programacao&prev=search -DoubleNintendo — Preceding unsigned comment added by DoubleNintendo (talk • contribs) 10:06, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- But you need to add in the sources, otherwise...this happens. I've accepted your edits. By the way, please sign all your posts by using 4 tildes (~). Zyc1174 chat? what I did 13:05, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
Titanic article
Hi. I just restored a part of the edit you undid on the Titanic article. It was a link to everything that was releated Titanic. It was quite appropriate to say the least, plus it has not been on there before. It is on every other Titanic section so why not this one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.234.183 (talk) 15:21, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, it seemed irrelevant to the article as that article was about a game, while the toolbox was of the actual Titanic ship. I'm conflicted on whether it was necessary though. Zyc1174 chat? what I did 07:23, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for signing up for this project. It is a very busy and active project with lots going on and we can always use more help and especially a fresh set of eyes. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch Wikipedia:New articles (Aircraft) as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 13:33, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Twinkle, again.
I've just tagged your Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Main Page (4th nomination) for speedy deletion, and reverted the related damage that you did with Twinkle. I strongly suggest that you stop using it. The Mighty Glen (talk) 18:27, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

No Original Research
What do you mean? I actually read the material from where I posted the information from the Aquaman comic itself, that and I looked up other sources such as Comicvine and DC Database. So what I posted was not unfounded or outsourced in the least.--75.168.100.83 (talk) 14:49, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, my mistake. I missed the bottom part of your edit, blame me and Wikipedia's "difference between revisions" viewer. Give me a minute while I clean it up. Zyc1174 chat? what I did 15:49, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

I messed up the PCR at April 3, can somebody clean it up? Thanks! Fat fingers! (I've accepted the edits, somebody just needs to recheck it to make sure I haven't accidentally accepted vandalism, thanks.) Zyc1174 chat? what I did 07:16, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
- It looks OK to me. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 09:24, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Moving of Artyom Sokol (footballer)
Hi! I don't really mind the move of the page, but the other person Artyom Sokol is also a footballer, that's why I added the year. Is this the correct way to disambiguate the two, without the year? --BlameRuiner (talk) 12:17, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hmm...maybe the other Artyom Sokol could be renamed (moved) to Artyom Denisovich Sokol? His full name in the article? Zyc1174 chat? what I did 12:28, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
Deletion of Bang Krabue
Hi, could you please go back and check the article's nomination for deletion. Thanks, MT TrainTalk 12:46, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
- Ah yes, thanks for pointing it out. Zyc1174 chat? what I did 13:27, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
Suggest removing comment
Hey Zyc1174, could I suggest you remove your comment at thewinrat's page? I don't think it's helpful to add further insult to injury, even if they are hat-seeking, and doesn't really add anything aside from blocking threats. Just a suggestion! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 12:01, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
- I've removed it. Sometimes people that do this can get to me. Sorry about that. I swear I'm not into doing this Zyc1174 chat? what I did 19:23, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

- I figured I might as well make his life a bit easier by archiving with the year, but for some reason the auto-archive detection thing quit on me (or I couldn't get it to work...), so I had to manually insert links to the archives. It was a LOT of work, his unarchived talkpage spanneed half a megabyte of text, but I figured that I might as well do a good job if it was for someone else! Look at how my own archives were basically "fire and forget". Rob3512 chat? what I did 09:48, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

- There are zero requirements to become a recent changes patroller, it is not even a permission, just click on the recent changes tab regularly.

Hi, I saw you removed the change I made for an article on the French rapper Booba saying I didn't give a quote.

June 2018 GOCE newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors June 2018 News
Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since the February edition. Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7 months and reached a new all-time low. Requests continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5 days). Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20 days, and the longest wait time was 29 days. Wikipedia in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March of Corinne. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed. March drive: The goal was to remove June, July and August 2017 from our backlog and all February 2018 Requests (a total of 219 articles). This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared. Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758 words). April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21 April, focusing on Requests and the last eight articles tagged in August 2017. At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17 days. Of the nine editors who signed up, eight editors completed 22 copy edits (62,412 words). May drive: We set out to remove September, October and November 2017 from our backlog and all April 2018 Requests (a total of 298 articles). There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to a record low of 716 articles. Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15 editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813 words). Coordinator elections: It's election time again. Nominations for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged. Voting will take place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. June blitz: Stay tuned for this one-week copy-editing blitz, which will take place in mid-June. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Corinne, Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Reidgreg and Tdslk. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
