needing copy edit - the current theme, and, indeed, a rather large amount of previous themes, have not been about the copy edit tag - the theme was requests and as requests often don't contain the copy edit tag (GAN or FAN mostly) it should be removed. "The Copy Editing Project Blitzes are one-week-long efforts of the Guild of Copy Editors to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy editing" would suffice, and be shorter, and indeed sweeter. Obviously it's rather a large change, and I didn't feel it was appropriate to do myself, thus the talk page message. Finding articles and the second bullet under instructions also need to be changed.

using it to process the errors in the category, there were 8,000 articles in the category. I used the script to get that number down to about 2,000, after which all of the easy ones were done. Since then, a group of gnomes has been fixing ISBNs by hand, using research to locate correct ISBNs, replace the ISBNs with other accurate identifiers, or otherwise fix the problems. The 120 remaining article-space pages (aside from the four or five new ones that pop into the category each day) are the stubborn remainder.

When I looked at the article, it looked very familiar, as if I had already done a copy-edit of it. When I looked in the Revision History, I only saw two edits. (I didn't look at them, though.) So I thought, maybe I hadn't. (I had forgotten for a moment that when I do a copy-edit for GOCE, I often do the entire article in one or two groups of edits.) Then I looked at my talk page and saw a request for a copy-edit from Frankie, at 3526: 8070: 4494: 2960: 2906: 2852: 2798: 2744: 1066: 1012: 958: 904: 850: 6488: 1132: 214: 7310: 8124: 8016: 4440: 2107:: Failing to satisfy the notability guidelines is not a criterion for speedy deletion." I removed the CSD template with a detailed edit summary explaining how the criteria you cited were not valid. Nominating the article for deletion via PROD or AFD would have been reasonable, but CSD was not. Thanks for the educating, and happy editing! – 4068: 2431:

few thousand ISSNs on WP, and I found a number that were printed in magazines with incorrect values. I suppose it's possible that the agency issuing ISSNs made a mistake and sent an invalid number to the publication, but it seems more likely that someone typed the wrong number on the masthead in 1987 and nobody has thought about it since.

1426: 3238:. This user right gives you access to some of Knowledge's most important templates and modules; it is critical that you edit them wisely and that you only make edits that are backed up by consensus. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to 2690: 796: 6761:

Thanks very much for the encouragement to move this draft to mainspace and develop it there. I've worked on it off and on for too long-- that is, long enough for some of the resources I had identified to become dead links! I've decided to work on in one more day, then move it in mostly-complete form.

I have started working on the clarification/inconsistency notices you helpfully placed on the article, plus some of the areas raised in the copyedit discussion on the talk page. I hope I do not mess up your good work. Some of the more difficult areas, like the potted prose castle history I will leave

The deprecation notice still shows when you click to create a Cite DOI template, and it shows when you view the template directly after saving it, but the notice will not show when the Cite DOI template is used in an article.

Yesterday you kindly cleaned up a duplicate arguement on a historical time line table within the Berkhamsted. When I looked at the table, I realised that I had repeated the actual text content of that line two lines down in more accurate detail and in a more logical place. Without thinking whether I

I looked up the number at worldcat.org. The number you entered, and that is apparently in the magazine (yikes!) is not mathematically valid. ISSNs, like ISBNs, have a "check digit" at the end that is a mathematical combination of the other numbers. It reduces the chance of typos. I have cleaned up a

Baffle also used to archive right away, and it seems to work well; the only time it's best to leave them up there is with new (or over-zealous—i.e. working too fast) copyeditors of GANs or FACs. If you'd rather leave yours, though, that's fine by me (just don't forget to archive 'em eventually :-)).

Thanks for the note. I have a good time here on WP. I hope you're ready for a shorty-run in November, because we're due. I did a dozen or so shorties in September, in addition to the articles I took credit for in the drive, but there are a few hundred more out there. I'd like to see the backlog get

However, you also removed a number of url links I had to the WorldCat index. Originally I had mistakenly put them on the ISSN's (acutally ISBN's), but found that if I used the url parameter in cite, they went onto the title instead -- which seemed okay since WorldCat tells you how to find copies of

I had to revert before edits made by an indef blocked user but this also undid the cite updates you did. I would appreciate it if you could redo the refill of the bare references.

I designed the script to fix obvious problems with a minimum of false positives. It easily fixes ISBN parameters that list two ISBNs, or that use dashes instead of hyphens, or that precede the ISBN with extraneous text like "13:" or "ISBN".

So, it looks like I forgot to add the "Done" template to the Sonam Kapoor request on the GOCE Requests page. I was just about to do that when I thought I'd better ask you whether there is any way to retroactively add the "Done" template to October 27, 2015, the day I added the GOCE template to the

I was planning to wait a day or so to allow the requester to see the update if it came up on their watchlist, and to give Request page watchers a chance to see that editors are working on requests. I think it looks a little odd when a request just disappears from the page in a Watchlist diff, but

7170:. I even sent Frankie a note apologizing. Then I looked at the talk page of the article and saw that I had placed a GOCE template there on October 27, 2015. I would only do that if I had really completed a copy-edit of the entire article. So I added an additional note to Frankie on my talk page. 4703:

Aside from that, good luck with lead coordinator (you're definitely going to be, but I thought I'd mention it anyway) - I'm probably out of the running entirely, and in hindsight it's probably for the best, though I do sincerely want to help maintain the project. Hopefully I get a laptop charger

8543: 5309: 3041:

Thank you so much for fixing my reference citation (ISBN). I'm new to Knowledge and to book numbers (actually it is my first dealing with these numbers at all, so I had to read a bit to get to know what was the issue). But I'm very thankful to you for helping to fix this. All the best!

I just noticed that Sophie Hunter has notable relatives and this should be reflected in her infobox. All sources are in the family family section of the page. If you may be so kind to copy-paste this to the page, I would be very grateful and it would be a big improvement to her page.

5798:. Look at each of the sources to see if it mentions the person himself and if it is a reliable independent source. Many of the sources appear to refer to other people mentioned in the article. If you think that the article fails GNG, I think you'll have to put it through AfD. – 6160:: I did not delete your assignment. I fixed the article that you had edited. You introduced a wide variety of formatting errors to a public Knowledge article. If you want to experiment with editing Knowledge articles, you should copy the whole article into your personal 7174:

article's talk page. I thought statistics were kept to give an idea of how long the GOCE project takes to compete copy-edits, on average, and this delay will skew those statistics. If not, then I apologize, and I will add the "Done" template as soon as I hear from you.

Thanks to everyone who participated in last month's backlog-reduction drive. Of the 38 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, and we got within 50 articles of our all-time low in the backlog. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available

514:

In that case, the article probably does not have an ISBN error that can be fixed by the script. If you link to the article (which is always a good idea when asking for help), I will try to explain specifically why the script is not proposing to change anything. –

5755:

Any input would be welcome. I could still CE it, but it would not improve it. As I get back into learning the basics after a wikibreak, I will probably tag this for a normal delete process. I need to read more about that to make sure I'm doing it right. Thanks,

The answer is not always removal of the duplicate parameter. You have to figure out what the original editor intended. Often, the parameter name needs to be changed, not removed entirely. Other times, merging the two parameters together is the right thing to

like the rest of the citation templates. I went to go fix that, and can't know, because it's been cascade protected, and now even template-editors can't edit it. I'm skeptical that that level of protection is justified, but it's that way for now.

5222:

Have you had any luck running it? I've been banging my head against it all afternoon and am just sinking deeper into the mire :-). Hate to ask Torchiest, but it may be the only way we're going to get it done. I don't know if we have to remove the

Thanks for catching that and fixing it. I have fixed many hundreds of those duplicate parameter errors. Sporkbot fixes the kind of error that I left behind, and it doesn't cause any display errors or error messages, so I didn't worry about it. –
