Notice

I have nominated Nightswimming (Awake) at FAC now, and have listed you as one of the co-nominators, if that's okay. Same goes for Awake (TV series), at FAC now, again. Cheers, TBrandley 00:08, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Not a problem. I don't know how much I can help with any comments that reviewers leave, though, with school starting next week and all. Davejohnsan (talk) 00:15, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

No problems. I got the issues covered. Cheers, TBrandley 00:17, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Translation notification: Wikimedia Highlights, July 2012

Hello Davejohnsan,

You are receiving this notification because you signed up as a translator to Spanish on Meta. The page Wikimedia Highlights, July 2012 is available for translation. You can translate it here:

• translate to Spanish

The priority of this page is medium.

Note: This time, the "Wikimedia Foundation highlights" section does not include the usual coverage of the most notable work of Foundation staff during that month. Instead, it contains a list of talks given by Foundation staff at Wikimania, summarizing their most important work the year over. It looks like a lot of text, but only the talk titles will need to be translated. The intention is that these titles alone can already give readers a good overview of what the Foundation is working on in general.

Family (TV Series)

Hello. You recently made an edit whereby you suggested that the programme should be discussed in the present tense ie 'Family IS a TV Show.' When I did my edits, I was just following precedent (perhaps an unwise decision, in retrospect). Does that mean that the whole article should be changed so that it is in the present tense? Thank you. Please forgive me for my ignorance on this issue. (Galaxycat (talk) 19:07, 4 September 2012 (UTC))

Fiction is almost always written in the literary present, but this doesn't mean that the entire article needs to be changed to the present tense. Writing "Such and such was a television show" is incorrect because a TV show does not cease to exist after the production of new episodes stop. For comparison purposes, you wouldn't say that Gone with the Wind was a movie, since it's still a movie (albeit one from a long time ago). I know it sounds awkward sometimes, but that's just how it is in the English language. You do not need to use the present tense when referring to real-world things (e.g. "The show was produced at…) I hope I have clarified your question, but let me know if you still have any questions.

GOCE mid-drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter Participation: Out of 37 people signed up for this drive so far, 19 have copy-edited at least one article, about the same as the last drive. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We're almost on track to meet our targets for the drive. Great work, guys. We have reduced our target group of articles—August, September, and October 2011—by about 44%, and the overall backlog has been reduced by 58 articles so far, to around 2600 articles. The biggest difference between this drive and the previous one is a stronger focus on large articles, so total word counts are still comparable. Don't forget about the Copy Edit of the Month contests! Voting for the August contest has been extended through the end of the month. You don't have to make a submission to vote! August 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the discussion and voting stage until midnight September 30 (UTC).

Ratings

Hey, there! I restored the ratings for Person of Interest, with rounding corrected. We can update to the final ratings when they are published, but for now, the fast nationals are accurate and sourced, so there's no need to remove them; and it avoids an edit war with the 1001 IP's that will want to put them back in without proper sourcing. --Drmargi (talk) 16:16, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

The IPs aren't an issue. I think it's better to wait for the final adjustments since they are ultimately going to be used. The overnight ratings are sometimes subject to more than minute adjustments, so surely you can see why it's not always practical to use those preliminary ratings. Davejohnsan (talk) 16:25, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

You've completely missed my point, but never mind. The broadcast finals are out and up now. --Drmargi (talk) 21:18, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

GOCE September 2012 drive wrap-up

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September. Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

Two and a Half Men (season 10)

It.s probably not wise to revert on Two and a Half Men (season 10) any more for a while, as you've actually breached 3RR there. -- AussieLegend (✉) 21:08, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

My apologies, I didn't mean to breach 3RR there. Won't do any more reverts. That was why I started a discussion in the first place, anyway. Davejohnsan (talk) 21:21, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

On a side note, all this time I thought the rule applied to a per-editor basis, not page, so um... yeah, that was kinda stupid. Davejohnsan (talk) 21:22, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

While I agree that this edit was warranted, WP:3RR is a bright-line rule - if you've already made 3 reverts in 24 hours, you can only revert if the reversion is one of the exemptions listed at WP:3RRNO, and that one wasn't. Sometimes you just have to let things through. -- AussieLegend (✉) 12:10, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

GOCE fall newsletter

Fall Events from the Guild of Copy Editors The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in its events: The October 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is currently in the submissions stage. Submit your best October copy edit there before the end of the month. Submissions end, and discussion and voting begin, on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC). Voting is in progress for the September 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest. Everyone is welcome to vote, whether they have entered the contest or not. NEW!! In the week from Sunday 21 October to Saturday 27 October, we are holding a Project Blitz, in which we will copy edit articles tagged with {{copyedit}} belonging to selected project(s). For the first blitz, we'll start with WikiProject Olympics and WikiProject Albums and add more Projects to the blitz as we clear them. The blitz works much like our bimonthly drives, but a bit simpler. Everyone is welcome to take part, and barnstars will be awarded. November 2012 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in 2011 and to complete all requests placed before the end of October. 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 2011", and "Longest article".

If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive. We have reduced our target group of articles—November and December 2011—by over 50%, and 34 of the the 56 requests made in September and October this year have already been fulfilled. However, the rate of tagging for copy edit has increased, and this month we are just keeping the size of the backlog stable. So, all you copy editors, please do come along and help us! The September 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest was won by Baffle gab1978 for his copy edit of Expulsion of the Acadians. Runner up was Gareth Griffith-Jones for his edit of I Could Fall in Love. Congratulations to both. The October 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the discussion and voting stage until midnight November 30 (UTC). You don't have to make a submission to vote! November 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the submissions stage until midnight November 30 (UTC), when discussion and voting begin. Seasonal oversight: We had a slight fall from grace in the title of our last newletter, which mentioned the season in the northern hemisphere and thus got it wrong for the southern.

2013 in home video

A user that you previously warned (User:98.30.67.79) has been repeatedly making incorrect edits on 2013 in home video. I'm hoping you can help me with him/her. Thanks. --Zackmann08 (talk) 02:12, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I would suggest issuing the appropriate user warning whenever this IP editor makes a disruptive edit. You can look through an (almost?) complete list of warnings on this page, or you can use Twinkle to issue one. If he's making factually incorrect changes, the best warning may be {{uw-error1}} or {{uw-error2}}. If he's doing something else and you're still not sure which warning applies best, link me a diff and I'll help you. Davejohnsan (talk) 15:29, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Family Guy Volume 10

I'm sorry, but the Family Guy Volume 10 DVD doesn't contain any Season 10 episodes whatsoever. It contains nothing involving the following season, therefore isn't apart of that season. Unless there is something I'm missing, I don't see why it should be included on the Season 10 article. Alexshunn (talk) 18:44, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Appears you were right. Apologies for the error. Davejohnsan (talk) 03:45, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Quack!

Something seemed familiar. Please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/WBJB03. --AussieLegend (✉) 01:24, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Whoah, it all makes sense now. I'm glad you make the connection; it probably never would have occurred to me. Davejohnsan (talk) 02:43, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Somebody loves me. Davejohnsan (talk) 02:45, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw that. --AussieLegend (✉) 02:58, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
