Sorry about that! I didn't realize that ClueBot NG was down, so I was wondering why we were going to level 1 automatically. Enterprisey (talk!) 03:20, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News

Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter.

>>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<<

July Drive: The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove April, May, and June 2015 from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added July 2015 (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever.

August Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was sports-related articles in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part.

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, Corinne and Tdlsk.

Homeless kids

Hello,

I've noticed your interest in street children in the Philippines. I am wondering if you'd like to assist with the homelessness page as well?

Perhaps a homelessness in the Phillipines page or similar?

Thanks I.am.a.qwerty (talk) 09:51, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@I.am.a.qwerty: Maybe... if I had more time. I am the type of person that likes to jump from topic to topic at will. However, if I feel the motivation to do so, I might work on it... no guarantees though. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 12:28, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
For reverting naughty vandalism at the article Illuminati. Darth Tacker (talk) 17:33, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Darth Tacker: Thank you. However, I noticed that you warned the IP on their talk page. That is not necessary - warning messages should only be issued for recent vandalism, and the problematic edits were made a very long time ago. In addition, the IP is a shared IP address, meaning that it belongs to many different users. This makes it even more problematic to warn them, as the person who made the bad edit may longer be using that IP address. I would suggest you have a look at the Counter-Vandalism Unit Academy if you would like to learn more. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 18:08, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is it not important to leave redirects while changing usernames

Hail K6ka! I noticed that a userbox (User:Rosekelleher/Userboxes/Everybody) which I use suddenly went red and found out it was because of a rename. Shouldn't it be important to leave a redirect while doing so? Now what happens to all the signature redlinks wherever the user has posted before? or subpages and templates like this one? WP:CHU doesn't emphasise any such importance. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 13:23, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ugog Nizdast. Normally, a redirect is left behind after a rename, so that the old name may be easily linked with the new one. However, we occasionally get requests from users who seek renames due to privacy concerns, such as if someone accidentally used their real name. We can't completely obliterate all traces of the old name, but we can do our best by not leaving a redirect behind. This is only granted for renames concerning privacy and occasionally for those wishing to vanish. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 13:25, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
