My six months are over. What do I do now? SidChat2048 (talk and contributions) 08:08, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) (Non-administrator comment) Since you are banned per WP:3X, the most conventional way to request an unblock would be to post an {{unblock}} template here and ask for someone to post it to WP:AN, where the community will scrutinize and find out if you are worthy of unbanning. To be honest, right now it looks like you do not have much credibility (edits across other WMF projects that are mainly translations and userboxes, which are helpful but not in a sense that the community wants to unban you). If I would offer some advice, it would to be actively editing on another WMF project, preferably by editing a significant amount in the article space (content creation, anti-vandalism, copy-edits), and building a reputation for being a pillar of its society. Then, the community typically sees the efforts you have made and will most likely support your unban. So, I'm not going to stop you from posting an {{unblock}} template right now, but I would suggest doing much more on another significant project (dewiki, simplewiki, commons) before you begin the last process of WP:SO. (Administrators, this is me trying to help this user make a good case, since, as Jimbo Wales said it, "Wikipedia can always use more faithful editors". If you think I'm endorsing this user or this comment is otherwise unhelpful, revert me or let me know.) — 3PPYB6 — TALK — CONTRIBS — 12:43, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Also, before unblocking, administrators will have to consult with a CheckUser, since your block is a "CheckUser block". Blocks like this have to be reviewed by a CheckUser given the potential for more sockpuppetry. Alternatively, you can email the Arbitration Committee for the purposes of appeal at arbcom-enwikimedia.org. — 3PPYB6 — TALK — CONTRIBS — 13:57, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page.

Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now!

His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community. Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page.
