Hello CAPTAIN RAJU,

There has been an RfC here which needs close-by an uninvolved user. As you're uninvolved, I am requesting you for it's closure. Its non closure is resulting in an edit war at the BMW M3 page.

Hi, I removed a link on Kyushindo page, because it does not link to the Kyushindo association website, but to online gambling website. Why did you put it back ?

I added a link to another Kyushindo ressource: a page from old students from the founder of Kyushindo philosophy, with links to text on . It can be removed, but the online gambling website should be removed even more !

Guild of Copy Editors December 2019 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the December 2019 GOCE newsletter, an update of Guild happenings since the September edition. Our Annual Report should be ready in late January. Election time: Nominations for the election of a new tranche of Guild coordinators to serve for the first half of 2020 will be open from 1 to 15 December. Voting will then take place and the election will close on 31 December at 23:59 UTC. Positions for Guild coordinators, who perform the important behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our project running smoothly, are open to all Wikipedians in good standing. We welcome self-nominations so please consider nominating yourself if you've ever thought about helping out; it's your Guild and it doesn't run itself! September Drive: Of the thirty-two editors who signed up, twenty-three editors copy edited at least one article; they completed 39 requests and removed 138 articles from the backlog, bringing the backlog to a low of 519 articles. October Blitz: This event ran from 13 to 19 October, with themes of science, technology and transport articles tagged for copy edit, and Requests. Sixteen editors helped remove 29 articles from the backlog and completed 23 requests. November Drive: Of the twenty-eight editors who signed up for this event, twenty editors completed at least one copy edit; they completed 29 requests and removed 133 articles from the backlog. Our December Blitz will run from 15 to 21 December. Sign up now! Progress report: From September to November 2019, GOCE copy editors processed 154 requests. Over the same period, the backlog of articles tagged for copy editing was reduced by 41% to an all-time low of 479 articles. Request archiving: The archiving of completed requests has now been automated. Thanks to Zhuyifei1999 and Bobbychan193, YiFeiBot is now archiving the Requests page. Archiving occurs around 24 hours after a user's signature and one of the templates {{Done}}, {{Withdrawn}} or {{Declined}} are placed below the request. The bot uses the Guild's standard "purpose codes" to determine the way it should archive each request so it's important to use the correct codes and templates. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators; Reidgreg, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. >>> Sign up for the December blitz! <<< >>> Participate in the Coordinator elections! <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

ICHTHUS

December 2019

Featured article

Nominated by Stalinsunnykvj

Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, commonly known as A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. The book is divided into five chapters, which Dickens titled "staves". A Christmas Carol recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man. (more...)

Bible Verse

“

Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another.

”

I've noticed that you have a few articles that were marked as being reviewed, but then didn't do anything further. For example, Draft:Dadi Srinivas didn't even have a request for it to be reviewed on it (and even if it did, it'd clearly be declined as NN or blank). Same with Draft:Joshua G. Briere (JB) (which I already rejected before realizing they never requested review) and Draft:Local Eating (Locavorism). Were these marked as being reviewed by mistake? – Frood (talk) 23:18, 7 December 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-12-07T23:18:00.000Z","author":"Frood","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Frood-2019-12-07T23:18:00.000Z-Marking_articles_as_being_reviewed?","replies":[]}}-->

I noticed this too. You templated Draft:Dadi Srinivas just two minutes after its creation. As it only has an infobox, I would have thought this was a work in progress. Was it a mistake?

Following on from the above, I would have deleted this on sight, as I did the self-promoting User:Dadi Srinivas, but I've left it for now in case in view of your tag.

Following on further (per Jimfbleak): none of these articles would ever survive New Page Review.
