If you feel like doing a rewrite instead of a copyed, I'm willing to let you have the article in your userspace. I'm not sure how notable he really is - I can't recall hearing his name on Radio 3 - and I'm tuned in at some strange times of the day and/or night. (I even listen to 'Here and Now', but put CDs on for Choral Evensong and most of the jazz...) Just realised how appropriate his name is... Peridon (talk) 20:48, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Jubileeclipman hasn't been around lately, so you may wish to ask someone else... Brambleclawx 21:17, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

GOCE drive newsletter

 

The Guild of Copy Editors – May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive


The Guild of Copy Editors invite you to participate in the May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive began on May 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on May 31 at 23:59 (UTC). The goals of this backlog elimination drive are to eliminate as many articles as possible from the 2009 backlog and to reduce the overall backlog by 15%. ! NEW ! In an effort to encourage the final elimination of all 2009 articles, we will be tracking them on the leaderboard for this drive.

Awards and barnstars
A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants. Some are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page.

We look forward to meeting you on the drive! Your GOCE coordinators: SMasters, Diannaa, Tea with toast, Chaosdruid, and Torchiest

GOCE drive invitation

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors
 

The latest GOCE backlog elimination drive is under way! It began on 1 July and so far 18 people have signed up to help us reduce the number of articles in need of copyediting.

This drive will give a 50% bonus for articles edited from the GOCE requests page. Although we have cleared the backlog of 2009 articles there are still 3,935 articles needing copyediting and any help, no matter how small, would be appreciated.

We are appealing to all GOCE members, and any other editors who wish to participate, to come and help us reduce the number of articles needing copyediting, as well as the backlog of requests. If you have not signed up yet, why not take a look at the current signatories and help us by adding your name and copyediting a few articles. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words".

From Voceditenore

Hi Jubileeclipman. I've taken the liberty of archiving the Signpost notices to Archive 9 as your talk page had become very long. I hope to see you back on Wikipedia some day. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 09:18, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Me again. I've done some more archiving of old Signpost notices. You'll find them in Archive 10. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 15:44, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Me yet again. I've done some more archiving of old Signpost notices. You'll find them in Archive 10. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 06:37, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Archived the old Signposts to Archive 11. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 06:16, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Ditto Voceditenore (talk) 10:58, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

I've moved more Signpost fluff to Archive 11. Airplaneman 17:47, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Dispute resolution survey

 

Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite


Hello Iadmc. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released.

Please click HERE to participate.
Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts.


You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page. Steven Zhang DR goes to Wikimania! 22:56, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Advice wanted

I'm having a pleasant and civil discussion on an artist's BLP here about whether or not to include a photo of the author's work in the article. I'm contacting you because you are a member of the arts project. Do have a moment to give your opinion on the matter? Thanks! --KeithbobTalk 15:37, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

You're missed

It's been three summers, my friend. I've reverentially inserted your name in the list of missing Wikipedians. Let's see if this tagging system works (WikiFacebook, anyone?) User:Brambleclawx User:PrincessofLlyr User:Voceditenore

Airplaneman 17:42, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it works. Which reminds me I need to do some more archiving here. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 17:46, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, I stole your job there. Airplaneman 17:50, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
That's OK. It was kinda boring. ;) Meanwhile, Iain, if you ever stop by this page, a lot of us remember you and hope to see you back on Wikipedia some day. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 11:36, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Missing you a lot too! Hope things are going alright, and maybe you will one day come back. And yes the tagging worked, if you were trying to get it into my notifications list. Brambleclawx 21:02, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Now if we were really creepy (which I hope we're not), we could pop by Inverness and ask around or put up Wanted posters (Western movie-style). This diff would suggest the last confirmed location we have is Inverness, though it also suggests he is likely very busy. I hope no one here thinks I'm being creepy. Brambleclawx 21:09, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
You creep. Airplaneman 07:05, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Definitely WikiFacebook! Jubilee, you are still very much missed. BcX, your suggestion is creepy but not unappealing. :P PrincessofLlyr royal court 22:13, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Turns out there really is a WikiFacebook. Though Brambleclawx will have real Facebook within the next month. Look at me. Talking in third person. I've always had a weird interest in trying to find people when they disappear. Maybe I should be a search and rescue worker. Brambleclawx 22:30, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
I think basic human nature is the root cause of your interest. I was merely joking when I called you a creep; if anything, it's very considerate and compassionate of you. Airplaneman 06:51, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

I am around a bit. Might need to create a new account to get back in. After Christmas probably. Thanks for all the comments! I am in Inverness, btw. JBC 84.19.252.49 (talk) 16:00, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Oh my goodness!!! Hooray! Brambleclawx 19:27, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Good to hear from you! Airplaneman 00:03, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
