Deletion of Curtis Robertson Jr

Why did you delete the article on this person? He's a personal friend and there are plenty of references to him in other articles and articles on persons with similar or lesser notability. Lycurgus (talk) 09:38, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

I guess you just sysop'ed it and user:Secret actually deleted. Lycurgus (talk) 11:55, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
User:Secret did indeed delete it, as it was an unreferenced WP:PROD for quite some time. I don't think I was involved in the process at all, though... ~ Amory (utc) 15:18, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
Well it/he is/was in fact referenced, I dunno why you/Secret say that that's not the case. Lycurgus (talk) 10:34, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

GOCE December 2013 Blitz wrap-up and January Drive invitation

December Notes from the Guild of Copy Editors
 

The December blitz ran from December 8–14. The theme for this blitz was articles tied in some way to religion. Seven editors knocked out 20 articles over the course of the week. Our next blitz will be in February, with a theme to be determined. Feel free to make theme suggestions at the Guild talk page!

The January 2014 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in October and November 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2013. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in October and November 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there!

 

Coordinator election: Voting is open for candidates to serve as GOCE coordinators from 1 January through 30 June 2014. Voting will run until the end of December. For complete information, please have a look at the election page.
