What does "tba" mean?

Sorry if this is a stupid question - the page mentioned articles tagged in "tba", what does that mean? Atsumoo (talk) 04:53, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Atsumoo:, it means "to be arranged"; basically it's a placeholder that should have been removed from the page. Here, let me fix that... :D Cheers, Baffle☿gab 05:42, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

{{Completed}} tag

I wonder what happened to the symbol next to the  Completed tag... did it disappear? Sarrail (talk) 22:18, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

I see a symbol next to the word "Completed". (Also, please do not use templates in headings.) – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:29, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Wow...must have been an internet outage here. Sorry about the confusion. Sarrail (talk) 22:40, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Krull (film)

Krull (film) is one of the last articles from January 2022. It has been worked on by User:Toadmerle, but they haven't completed it. I have left a note on their talk page. They should receive at least partial credit if someone else takes over. Dhtwiki (talk) 07:04, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

IMO, this is a slippery slope; seems to me that we're doing more mentoring (cleanup) of drive and blitz participants. All the best, Miniapolis 15:03, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm merely trying to not have duplicate effort on the last articles from January. There's also Battle of al-Qadisiyyah, where I'm in a tussle with another editor, who undid the work of another copy editor, adding the article to the January backlog. I've put off having an edit war at this point but have removed the tag, pending convincing the new editor that the copy edit should stand. Dhtwiki (talk) 08:04, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. What I meant was that although circumstances beyond their control sometimes prevents an editor from finishing a copyedit, I don't think we should encourage it as a general practice. All the best, Miniapolis 15:04, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

My apologies for not completing it. I got partway through and then it kind of fell by the wayside as I got swept in up in this semester. If someone else wants to take it on, they're welcome to. Toadmerle (talk) Toadmerle (talk) 05:05, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

I made a few edits (and didn't just revert the previous editor's work, much of which was helpful), and it seemed to be in good shape and not in need of further copy editing. Dhtwiki (talk) 07:07, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
