An 1886 map has a railroad bridge at the site of the current SEPTA Regional Rail Bridge. The bridge has the label Penna RR Bridge. Though the original bridge led to a high level grade and the current rails descend to below ground, this might suggest a much older name than SEPTA et al. Map – Plate 1 of JL Smith's Philadelphia 1886 West, Wards 24 and 27 – is on-line at http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/83014/Plate+001/Philadelphia+1886+West+-+Wards+24+and+27/Pennsylvania/ Bridge is in lower-left corner.

Hi Dthomsen8! I agree with your point that cleanup templates don't belong in draft articles, in the same way they don't belong in AFC articles. When I created my edit list in AWB, I merely told AWB to get a list from new articles. The Kimberly Wright Cassidy article, though titled "Draft Kimberly Wright Cassidy" was actually in mainspace. I've since moved it to "Draft:Kimberly Wright Cassidy". I hope that doesn't mess anything up. I've also removed the other cleanup template that was on the page. Since I notice you have far more edits under your belt than I, if I didn't go about this the correct way, I'm all ears for learning. :D Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:12, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-03-21T15:12:00.000Z","author":"Cyphoidbomb","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Cyphoidbomb-2014-03-21T15:12:00.000Z-Kimberly_Wright_Cassidy","replies":["c-Dthomsen8-2014-03-21T15:45:00.000Z-Cyphoidbomb-2014-03-21T15:12:00.000Z"]}}-->

This is Delahays replying to your note about Robert Milligan _ I am going away just now – today – for 5 weeks when I won't be online. You may find stuff in the Barbican Library, but I don't know it and I don't know what you will find. You might get better luck with the Museum of Docklands. For the Forteath links in Jamaica, which will at least tie him to Morayshire contacts other than his wife, – not the key issue, but a start – John Kelly's (PROB 11/1424) will will help a bit but you will need to go to the PRO for it unless you want to stump up for a download – could be the Barbican Library might have online access, BUT... There are a number of Dumfries sources, but it's possible the Barbican has never bothered about them and it may not know where Dumfries is. (This is NOT a joke) As an Englishman normally domiciled in Scotland I find all this maddening, because Milligan's Scottishness is taken for granted in Scotland, rightly. You could try ringing the Dumfries and Galloway archives. You might be lucky. Otherwise, you could do what I did and Google him. And don't stop at Wikipedia. There are Jamaica online sources too. The ScotlandsPeople Database is expensive to use unless you are fairly sure in the first place, and though I have a memory of some Dumfries burgh kin, I can't check for them just now. Family Search is useless for detailed research in Scotland, because ScotlandsPeople, run by DC Thomson for profit has exclusive reproduction rights from the SRO. I'll try and produce more detailed evidence by the end of September.

This is memory, so don't hold me to it. I THINK that you may get some traction in London if you look for a Jamaica West India merchant called DAVID Milligan who died in the late 1798. This was actually David Milligan of DALSKAIRTH, in Galloway. The Gentleman's Magazine and kindreed publications note his death, but they also mention his widow. If you want to get into ScotlansPeople, it could be that that Dalskairth in the parish of TRAQUAIR, might lead you in a useful direction. There is a PCC Will but the National Archives downloading service is on the blink and I can't access the whole of it. What I can access indicates that it's in the Scottish form, and the bit about sons and property is inaccessible, but it wouldn't have been processed both in Scotland and by the PCC if it didn't have some mention of overseas property. I've sent a complaint, so they might be getting around to fixing it by Tuesday. Best I can do just now.Delahays (talk) 09:34, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-08-03T09:34:00.000Z","author":"Delahays","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Delahays-2014-08-03T09:34:00.000Z-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_August_1","replies":[]}}-->
Sorry, Dalskairth is in TROQUEER parish – not Traquair. It counts as Kircudbrightshire, or did, but it's not far from Dumfries. The only Kirkcudbright 1746 birth of a Robert Milligan on 8 August 1746 was to an innkeeper and his wife, but the witnesses to the baptism were both merchants.- doesn't mean much, but it points in the right direction. The 1756 birth isn't very helpfully registered. Positively the last I can do today, David Milligan says his family was from a FARM at Dalskairth, not Dalskairth house, but it's worth checking on both.Delahays (talk) 09:47, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-08-03T09:47:00.000Z","author":"Delahays","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Delahays-2014-08-03T09:47:00.000Z-Disambiguation_link_notification_for_August_1","replies":[]}}-->
but it loks as though I wasn't raving when I remembered David Milligan. this source, run by an alan millken confirms David was Robert's cousin, and left him his fortune after keeping it in trust for his widow. It also places Robert as the son of James Milligan of Dumfried born 19 August 1746, and gives his wife and descendants. This is probably better than pfaffing around in the Barbican Library, and when you do go, it will give you something to go on. I hope I can catch my train now!

If you can spend a little time on each, expanding them a bit – I'd suggest a rule of thumb, at least double the size of the text – then no one can say they're not substantially contributed to by you. Another option would be to remove all the text that's there (leaving the layout and images and templates and such) and re-write the article in your own words.
Let me know if you're struggling. Once you've substantially contributed to the articles, feel free to move them to the main space, and then we're all good to go.

Hi Dthomsen8,
I am on the communications team for Consol Energy. I would like to suggest several edits/updates to the Consol Energy Wikipedia page. A lot of the information listed is outdated and therefore no longer accurate. Please see my suggested edits and sourcing below. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for your time and help on this issue.
First paragraph:
"As of 2011..." should be replaced with:
As of 2013, Consol had 3 billion tons of proven reserves, mainly in northern and central Appalachia and produced nearly 29 million tons of coal in the same year. The company has natural gas reserves totaling 5.7 trillion cu. ft. as of 2013 and produced 172.4 billion cubic feet in that year. Through the different services, it employs 3,890 people.
History:
To be added:
In 2012, Consol Energy won the rights to drill the Marcellus Shale on leased acres at the Pittsburgh International Airport. Consol entered into the public-private partnership, agreeing to pay 500 million dollars over the next twenty years. In partnership, the airport will receive 18 percent royalties with an additional 50 million dollar bonus. It is estimated that the project will bring the airport around 20 to 25 million dollars annually over the next 20 years. This revenue is to be used to offset the airports 91 million dollar annual budget, as well as support improvements to infrastructure and paying off airport debt, currently shouldered by taxpayers.(i) In August 2014, after a year of talks with the township, the Federal Aviation Commission, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and Allegheny County, Consol began drilling its first well on airport property.(ii)
In 2013, Consol sold it’s subsidiary, Consolidation Coal Company, to Murray Energy Corporation (MEC). This deal, valued at 3.5 billion dollars, included all five of their longwall coal mines in West Virginia, as well as Consol’s River and Dock Operations, comprised of 21 tow-boats and 600 barges, as well as 2.4 billion dollars of Consol’s balance sheet liabilities. These liabilities include 2.1 billion dollars in postretirement benefit plans, 105 million dollars of workers compensation, 61 million dollars of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, 13 million of long-term disabilities, and 149 million in environmental. With the deal Consol sold 1.1 billion tons of coal reserves, reflecting the trend of switching away from coal to focus on natural gas exploration and development.(iii) By selling the mines in conjuction with the liabilities, Consol cleared room in the balance sheet to further investment in Marcellus Shale.(iv)
Financials:
"In 2010..." should be replaced with:
In 2013, Consol Energy had an annual revenue of 3.120 billion. Customers primarily include electric and steel mills in the U.S., but demand from European utilities has increased during the 2000s. Consol Energy was ranked number 434 on the Fortune 500 list in 2014.(v)
To be added:
In December 2014, CONSOL announced its intent to pursue transactions that would result in changes to the company's organizational and management structure to better align the company to execute its strategy for its natural gas and coal operations in the Appalachian Basin. These anticipated transactions resulted in changes to the company's reportable segments effective for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014. The Coal Division will now report the following segments: Pennsylvania Operations (Bailey, Enlow Fork, and Harvey mines), Virginia Operations (Buchanan Mine), and Other Operations (Miller Creek Complex). The E&P Division will now report the following segments: Marcellus Shale, Utica Shale, Coalbed Methane (CBM), and Other. (x)

I just saw, that you are a participant in Wikipedia:Personal acquaintances and confirmed, that I know you. We did meet each other in London. You gave me one of your great caps. Back than I had no idea who you are. I was just glad to meet such a wonderful person.
So now, you are a "confirmed" person in the personal-acquaintances-project and may be able to re-confirm and confirm that you met other people in person.

We appear to have a common interest, and that is to give unrated articles an importance rating. I'm doing that for Wikiproject New Zealand (ever so slowly), and you appear to do this for WikiProject Women's sport in a somewhat quicker way using AWB. I'm of course not sure what your exact decision making process is, but three Kiwi sports women on my watchlist who between them have collected a heap of Olympic gold medals have all received a 'low importance' rating by you. Given that they were obviously on top of the world at some point, that seems somewhat surprising. Would love to hear your thoughts on the likes of Georgina Evers-Swindell, Caroline Evers-Swindell, and Sarah Ulmer. It's not a criticism by any means, I'm mostly curious what your plan is.

I raised the importance for the three New Zealand women you cite, and also created three redirect pages for them. I have worked on providing importance ratings for Wikipedia:WikiProject:New Zealand. For the ??? column, 6054-5972=82 rated, and for the Unassessed row, 5785-5712=72, almost all class=stub articles.

I notice that you have been going though and adding "low" to articles where the project importance is blank, such as this edit here to Marques Johnson. However, he was a national player of the year and consensus All-American, which should warrant a "high". I've also updated a few other similar edits of yours e.g. All-Americans that should probably be "mid".

I am sure you know far more about basketball than I do. I have now done some corrections, but my contributions page does not show me what I need to find to make specific corrections except by going to the talk page and looking at the history.
Perhaps you can explain to me why Grant Hill has NBA importance=High, but college basketball and Olympics importance=low.

The project banners on the talk page should have a link to the project's "importance" assessment criteria. For example, college basketball's is at Wikipedia:WikiProject_College_Basketball/Assessment#Importance_scale. There's nothing inherently wrong if one project deems one subject a different importance than another, is there? As for specific examples like Grant Hill, some assessments could be out of date, others may be wrong. Those can be judged on a per-case basis. If you are not familiar with a specific person, I suggest you leave the field blank, so other project members will know an assessment is still outstanding, instead of placing a value that is potentially wrong. Can you explain the goal of your AWB edits to remove "auto-inherit"?

If I have provided class and importance ratings for most or all of a talk page, the auto= parameter done by automated processes is irrelevant. I have made a number of corrections to the male basketball players, especially where I made earlier updates but I am sure much more is needed. --DThomsen8 (talk) 19:38, 28 November 2015 (UTC)I now will stop doing AWB on basketball and women's sport talk pages.[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-11-28T19:38:00.000Z","author":"Dthomsen8","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Dthomsen8-2015-11-28T19:38:00.000Z-Bagumba-2015-11-27T18:16:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Hi, thanks for the message.
Userfy seems to be mainly pushing the article back into non-public draft mode?
There has been a lot of aggressive editorial bulldozing by James_Allison, which I guess is his job here. As a complete wiki novice I have limited understanding of all the wiki standards for article inclusion. The judgement concept of failing the notability of a community museum as perceived by someone on the other side of the world seems strange and unfair.
It would be nice to think that using userfication, we could develop the article to meet the standards of wikis editors. But some of the more vocal critics of this article seem to have already made up their minds. The museum has grown through Oceania artefact donations for more than 50 years, and the article has the potential to grow through contribution also. If there is hope that this article, which is about a cultural resource very important to us, can continue somehow, then I would like to work towards that. Thanks.

Noodling around in Commons I found pictures of this lab but not much information. Apparently it was somewhere in DC and apparently the Chemical Heritage Foundation had more information but I haven't been able to find it. Probably not worth an article but it deserves at least a paragraph in the history of fixation. Any hints?

Hi @Jim.henderson:, I think the Fixed Nitrogen Research Laboratory would make a nice article! Most of what we have in the CHF collection is images, but there are at least some published sources that I can suggest as useful starting points.

The finding aid for the collection is here. It gives some starting points on the history and people.
Splendid. Actually the contemporary C&ME report is the valuable one; the one I can access that tells me where and what. With that, I intend to expand the miserably written McKinley Building article with a citation-rich paragraph; maybe a section. I was mostly looking for a home for the topic, not intending to do a full-blown article. I know only a little chemistry and in WP do more editing of architecture, a subject in which I am equally ignorant but more bold. That's why I didn't want to put it in the Nitrogen fixation article and wondered whether it belonged in the Haber process article. The splendid reference tells me it does not, so this building will be the home of the topic unless someone more confident in industrial chemistry takes it out of my hands.

Hi. I was wondering if you could buy this to give as a prize to whoever creates the most women bios for the Africa contest? It's usually very expensive but very lucky for it to be only 80 cents. A few books prizes on this and I think we could get more articles in different areas.

I'll ask on the contets talk page if anybody wants it. Can you sort out giving the $200 to Miyagawa for most women entries then, as I believe you said you'd give 200 for the women top prize.

I had two batches made at different times, some khaki (and with a jacket, front and back) and later for London, blue caps. I have been giving them out to serious editors. Any place that does embroidering can make them, and of course in quantity they are cheaper. Shop around, but be quick, the 15th is near.

Heya! I noticed you had PA history next to your name on the Wikiproject Pennsylvania page.
I recently made a new page for John_Bull_(general), and it could use some help from someone with more wikipedia experience than me. Anything you can do for it will be appreciated.
I made a few changes in your article. It is a good start, but rather than do more, I want you to look at some examples.
Owen Biddle, Sr. A Pennsylvania Colonel, and a good example of formatting. Dates and places of birth and death are after his name. Categories also are instructive See also Clement Biddle, his brother.

I am interested in the PECO utility tunnel under the Schuylkill River in relation to a book I am writing called Underground Philadelphia (forthcoming 2018). See below for the paragraph on the tunnel. I used some of the information at "List of crossings of the Schuylkill River" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_crossings_of_the_Schuylkill_River)
and its Talk page, plus I found some newspaper articles about the tunnel.
I have edited and entered a few wiki articles as "Phillyguy," but I stopped doing that years ago. I haven't updated the wiki page, but I thought you might want to see this...
Harry Kyriakodis
PECO bored a $650,000 tunnel through bedrock about seventy feet below the Schuylkill River in 1946–47 to carry both steam pipes and electrical transmission lines. The fifteen-foot diameter passage was burrowed after concerns arose that PECO's electrical cables might be severed by tankers on the Schuylkill. Armored submarine cables had previously transmitted power from Schuylkill Station under the river to the Pennsylvania Railroad's nearby catenary lines via the Arsenal Bridge substation, located by the tunnel's western entrance. That end of the tunnel is inside a shack on the river's west bank next to the Schuylkill Arsenal Bridge; the tunnel's eastern end is a small structure at the intersection of Christian Street and Schuylkill Avenue. Veolia still uses this 1070-foot long utility tunnel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phillyguy (talk • contribs) 18:25, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-09-09T18:25:00.000Z","author":"Phillyguy","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Phillyguy-2017-09-09T18:25:00.000Z-PECO_tunnel","replies":[]}}-->

Meal
I just sent a photo from the Wikimeet to your email address. It's proving quite a busy week for me and I find that Wednesday evening is not working out as I find I have a research interview scheduled for that evening and my builder also wants to see me then about the start of a project, which won't keep. I'm running another event this evening (Tuesday) and so I suggest Thursday evening as my only free slot now. Can we make it Thursday?
I'll text these suggestions to that number you gave me and see we can get it together.

I understand how you would think that my goal is to promote a business; however, I wrote this article as a college assignment and made a big effort to abide by all the Wikipedia guidelines. I chose this organization because I attended the school for a summer program while I was in college. I do not actively write on Wikipedia, but sometimes I get pinged regarding my article as I did recently when it was tagged AfD. I would prefer not to see my work deleted from Wikipedia and am actively trying to keep it around. I do not know any other editors so I contacted you when I saw your post on the Talk:EasyMandarin page which is on my Watchlist. I know it is a random request. I understand your position and appreciate you not saying "delete". Regarding the "see also" above, their article does not appear to have any third party references, no claim of notability.Parkertony (talk) 04:00, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-09-19T04:00:00.000Z","author":"Parkertony","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Parkertony-2018-09-19T04:00:00.000Z-Dthomsen8-2018-09-19T02:27:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

You've opened the same RfC in at least three different places [4][5][6]. To avoid creating multiple parallel discussions, you should close all but one RfC and provide links to it on the other relevant talk pages. I've already removed one from the IP's user talk page since this is never the right place to have an RfC about an article.
As EEng pointed out, there's really no need for an RfC at all: This is a simple issue that you can resolve yourself by creating a disambiguation page. My Wiki access is quite limited for the next week or so but I'm sure other editors would be able to help.

If nobody has responded, I think it would be OK to just remove the whole thing. Otherwise, remove the RfC tag (which will remove it from the list of open RfCs and stop inviting editors to !vote) and leave a "withdrawn by OP" note. –dlthewave☎17:34, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-10-21T17:34:00.000Z","author":"Dlthewave","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Dlthewave-2018-10-21T17:34:00.000Z-Dthomsen8-2018-10-21T15:11:00.000Z","replies":["c-Dthomsen8-2018-10-22T15:58:00.000Z-Dlthewave-2018-10-21T17:34:00.000Z"]}}-->

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ethel Wood (supercentenarian) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion.

Hello, you recently assessed the article about the World Heritage Site Bauhaus and its Sites in Weimar, Dessau and Bernau of "low importance" for the Wiki projects Germany, Architecture, and World Heritage Sites. Could you please explain the thinking, as the page Classical Weimar (World Heritage Site), which similarly describes a joint German World Heritage Site, although not in as much detail and citing only one reference (the Bauhaus article refers to 31 sources), is rated as "high importance" for these three categories.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi, Dthomsen8. Just noticed your reversion of my edit on the article re: Pennsylvania's article. It would have been helpful, I think, if you had reached out to me first before reverting to initiate a dialogue. I'm a native Pennsylvanian (born, raised and educated there) so I can assure you that I have a thorough understanding of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's history. I can tell you with certainty that Pennsylvania was not "one of the 13 original, founding states, just like the Commonwealth of Virginia" as you wrote in your revert summary. Pennsylvania did not become a state until December 12, 1787; it was one of the original Thirteen Colonies / Province of Pennsylvania before that. By terming it a "state", as you're insisting on doing by reverting my edit, you're injecting a factual error into an article. Since there a will be a number of school children across Pennsylvania who will soon be using this article for their classroom projects, it's important that this terminology be accurate. So, I'm writing to respectfully ask that you undo your revert. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Kind Regards. 47thPennVols (talk) 19:35, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-09-07T19:35:00.000Z","author":"47thPennVols","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-47thPennVols-2019-09-07T19:35:00.000Z-Your_revert_of_my_edit_on_the_Pennsylvania_article","replies":[]}}-->
Please see Commonwealth_(U.S._state)#Pennsylvania. It doesn't look like Commonwealth and State are mutually exclusive. Pennsylvania is a U.S. State and its official title is the "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania". But the Seal of Pennsylvania says "State".

WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors 2019 Annual Report
Thanks for all your hard work rating these articles. I should probably do a bit, but I'm not particularly confident that I would be doing it correctly in the (many) areas where my knowledge isn't great, I would want someone else to check my review, which sort of defeats the point, they could just do the rating. I volunteered to do new article reviewing a while back but it was declined as my areas of interest were considered too narrow, I suppose I agree with that, and that narrow range hasn't increased much And I don't really want to create arguments with anyone who feels I marked them down etc. One thing I won't ever be doing is rating on talk pages I created (i.e for articles I created), I assumed there was a guideline against that, maybe not if you're suggesting I should do it (if I am reading that right?) but I don't want to rate my own stuff.

Election results: There was little changeover in the roster of Guild Coordinators, with Miniapolis stepping down with distinction as a coordinator emeritus while Jonesey95 returned as lead coordinator. The next election is scheduled for June 2020 and all Wikipedians in good standing may participate.
January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work, completing 215 copy edits including 56 articles from the Requests page and 116 backlog articles from the target months of June to August 2019. At the conclusion of the drive there was a record low of 323 articles in the copy editing backlog. Of the 27 editors who signed up for the drive, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.
February Blitz: Of the 15 editors who signed up for this one-week blitz, 13 completed at least one copy edit. A total of 32 articles were copy edited, evenly split between the twin goals of requests and the oldest articles from the copy-editing backlog. Full results are here.
March Drive: Currently underway, this event is targeting requests and backlog articles from September to November 2019. As of 18 March, the backlog stands at a record low of 253 articles and is expected to drop further as the drive progresses. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Help set a new record and sign up now!
Progress report: As of 18 March, GOCE copyeditors have completed 161 requests in 2020 and there was a net reduction of 385 articles from the copy-editing backlog – a 60% decrease from the beginning of the year. Well done and thank you everyone!
Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. 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.

Hello, on List of people from Jersey in Diff/947872209 you re-added information on a person called Chris Dixon, who is said to be a YouTube personality. This links to the article Chris Dixon, which is about an entrepreneur who does not seem to be related to YouTube, as the person who originally added the content suggested. The Chris Dixon this person talk about seems to be a gamer who plays Fifa, as evidenced by a news report about him and his YouTube channel. As the link in that article currently does not point to the correct place and the intended subject does not have a article about him yet so may not be notable, can you change the content? Thanks. ~ Tridwoxi (talk) (contribs)00:05, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-03-29T00:05:00.000Z","author":"Tridwoxi","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Tridwoxi-2020-03-29T00:05:00.000Z-List_of_people_from_Jersey","replies":["c-Dthomsen8-2020-03-29T00:24:00.000Z-Tridwoxi-2020-03-29T00:05:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thanks for your copy edit of Zwai Bala during the March drive and helping to reduce the copy-editing backlog by an astounding 75%. A few notes of some things you missed:
I think there's were slight tone issues and changed he came to the limelight → he came to public attention, managed to reach the semi finals → reached the semi-finals, partnering up with → partnered with, The couple came third → The pair finished third. The first is informal while the second implies unspecified challenge which should be assumed for a competition, the third is better stated in past tense which also removed an unnecessary word, and the fourth was informal and somewhat ambiguous. For This group were to revolutionize kwaito, I tagged it with {{according to whom}} as it states an opinion and we shouldn't say that in Wikipedia's voice.

Hello and welcome to the June newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since March 2020. You can unsubscribe from our mailings at any time; see below. All times and dates stated are in UTC.
Current events
Election time: Nomination of candidates in our mid-year Election of Coordinators opened on 1 June, and voting will take place from 00:01 on 16 June. GOCE coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, or you know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here.
March Drive: Self-isolation from coronavirus may have played a hand in making this one of our most successful backlog elimination drives. The copy-editing backlog was reduced from 477 to a record low of 118 articles, a 75% reduction. The last four months of 2019 were cleared, reducing the backlog to three months. Fifty requests were also completed, and the total word count of copy-edited articles was 759,945. Of the 29 editors who signed up, 22 completed at least one copy edit. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.
April Blitz: This blitz ran from 12 to 18 April with a theme of Indian military history. Of the 18 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed a total of 60 copyedits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.
May Drive: This event marked the 10th anniversary of the GOCE's copy-editing drives, and set a goal of diminishing the backlog to just one month of articles, as close to zero articles as possible. We achieved the goal of eliminating all articles that had been tagged prior to the start of the drive, for the first time in our history! Of the 51 editors who signed up, 43 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.
Other news
Progress report: as of 2 June, GOCE participants had processed 328 requests since 1 January, which puts us on pace to exceed any previous year's number of requests. As of the end of the May drive, the backlog stood at just 156 articles, all tagged in May 2020.
Outreach: To mark the 10th anniversary of our first Backlog Elimination Drive, The Signpost contributor and GOCE participant Puddleglum2.0 interviewed project coordinators and copy-editors for the journal's April WikiProject Report. The Drive and the current Election of Coordinators have also been covered in The Signpost'sMay News and Notes page.

Non-notable horse through. It's old, but that's not enough for notability. A city-level register of historic places is not enough to pass WP:GEOFEAT. I'm struggling to find coverage for this particular site. This is just a table listing and almost suggests it doesn't have a name beyond "Horse trough". Another brief listing. It exists, it's old, and it has a bland name. That's about all that I can find about this, and it doesn't meet WP:GEOFEAT or WP:GNG.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2020.
Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today!
Election reminder: our end-of-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 December. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. 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.
Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: An uncorrected typo (even copy editors make copy editing mistakes!) led to an eight-day "leap blitz" from 14 to 21 June, focusing on requests and articles tagged in May. 19 participating editors claimed 54 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.
July Drive: Over 750,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event, keeping pace with the previous three self-isolated drives. Of the 38 people who signed up, 30 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.
August Blitz: From 16 to 22 August, we copy edited articles tagged in June and July 2020 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 37 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.
Other news

Hi, I can't comment about WP1.0, but I was very surprised to see the article Ireland rated down from Top prio to Low prio for WikiProject UK, without discussion or edit summary explanation, given that Ireland is one of the two main islands on which the UK exists (it is also of course Top for WP Ireland). Was it perhaps a slip of the keys? As far as I understand moves in and out of Top require discussion on the article Talk page and/or the relevant project page... Sorry if I missed something.

Dear Dthomsen8, more than four years ago you reviewed the article about Deim Zubeir and rated it as Stub-Class and Low-importance. Since then I have expanded it and South Sudan has put it as the very first cultural site on its first ever tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage, even as the first former slavery center in Northeastern Africa. Therefore I would argue that all of this qualifies for higher ratings. Many thanks for your efforts!RomanDeckert (talk) 09:00, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-10-27T09:00:00.000Z","author":"RomanDeckert","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-RomanDeckert-2020-10-27T09:00:00.000Z-Request_for_new_review_of_Deim_Zubeir_article","replies":[]}}-->

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Clay mineral, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Weymouth.
What, exactly, was the point of this edit, changing "WikiProjectBannerShell" to "WikiProject banner shell"? The change made abslutely no difference in the rendered page, and simply clogged up people's Watchlists with your unnecessaru edit which -- because Nazism and it's talk page are frequently screwed around with -- had to be checked out. 1,256 people watch that page, and 1,256 people had to take a little bit of time to deal with your edit.

Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania, and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the River was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard!

Hi there, Dthomsen8, and welcome to Women in Red. It's great to have such an active editor as a member of our project. While you have created a few biographies of women in years gone by, it looks as if you now devote most of your time to assessment. If you are interested in the field, maybe you could spend some of your assessment time on WikiProject Women in Music in which almost two thirds of the articles require assessment, partly as a result of bot-driven additions a few months ago. But as our primary concern is to create more biographies of women to chip away at the bias, maybe we could tempt you to add a few new articles too, perhaps on the basis of our monthly priorities. In any case, please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance.

Hi. I've come across a couple instances where you probably inadvertently removed WikiProject tags and then re-inserted them with a lower importance rating (see Krung Thai Bank and Tamarine Tanasugarn). I know it's not easy to quickly make accurate calls on the significance of a subject for each project when working across a wide area, so mistakes (like rating 1973 Thai popular uprising as low instead of high) are quite understandable, but please be careful with avoidable cases like the first two examples.

Hi, I have been helping with an effort to clear up false-positives in Special:WantedTemplates and found that 9 of the entries can be traced back to User:Dthomsen8/common.js. For example, if you check Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Birth date' + andage + ', you will see that the server is reporting that common.js is transcluding that template. Clearly this is a quirk in how the backend software parses javascript pages, but it makes it harder to find the real problem pages. It would be great if you could put
// <syntaxhighlight lang=javascript>
at the top of the script page and
// </syntaxhighlight>
at the bottom of the script page. Since these are commented out, it won't break the javascript, but it will prevent the backend software from parsing the {{Birth date' + andage + '}} as a template transclusion. Thanks!

Hi Dthomsen8. I'm calling on you as an admin of whom I have pleasant memories. I've not been involved in a copyvio before so don't know the next step. The friendly notice I received accusing me of such (though the six offending words were not mine) helpfully opened Will Ashton/Temp with the promise that if I rewrote it from scratch, it would considered in a week's time.

I noticed that you categorized the pillar Wikipedia verifiability policy as low importance and then noticed that you have been classifying massive amounts of them sometimes spending only seconds on each one. At best this does not seem right and at worst it could be injecting random assessments into an immense amount of articles.

Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021.
Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today!
Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.
July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.
August Blitz: From 15 to 21 August, we copy edited articles tagged in April and May 2021 and requests. 9 participating editors completed 17 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.
Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis.
New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. 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. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above).
Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis.

Hi Dthomsen8,
I am Petros Apostolopoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in Public History at North Carolina State University. My Ph.D. project examines how historical knowledge is produced on Wikipedia. If you are interested in participating in my research study by offering your own experience of writing about history on Wikipedia, you can click on this link https://ncsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9z4wmR1cIp0qBH8. There are minimal risks involved in this research.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC). Voting opens at 00:01 the following day and will continue until 31 December at 23:59, just before "Auld Lang Syne". Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. 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!
Drive and Blitz reports
September Drive: Almost 400,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 27 people who signed up, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.
October Blitz: From 17 to 23 October, we copy edited articles tagged in May and June 2021 and requests. 8 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.
November Drive: Over 350,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 21 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.
Other news
It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. 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. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above).
Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis.

Hi there! I am new to Wikipedia, and I have just written my first article, Alabama literature. In it, I discuss Bryan Stevenson and Just Mercy. I saw that you have contributed to the Just Mercy article (amongst your very impressive collection of edits! I am in genuine awe), and I was hoping that you could take a look at my article and give me any advice that you have. It would be greatly appreciated!

Hi David, I would appreciate your review of my edit request on the Clayton Morris talk page. As you can see, the current article needs to be improved, expanded, and aligned with NPOV and BLP standards. My COI prevents me from making these additions and changes directly. As you are an active Wikipedian and you've created several bios, I thought you'd be willing to make these necessary changes. I look forward to your input and thank you in advance for your help.

The GOCE December 2022 newsletter, as sent on 9 December, contains an erroneous start date for our December Blitz. The Blitz will start on 11 December rather than on 17 December, as stated in the newsletter. I'm sorry for the mistake and for disrupting your talk page; thanks for your understanding.

Hello!
I really like the articles you create, publish or edit on Wikipedia. I’m not a Wikipedia specialist, so I would like to collaborate with a professional who has experience in this field. I would like to publish an article about Oskar Hartmann, entrepreneur, business angel and international investor, on the German or English version of Wikipedia.
I see it as a text about his professional career, investments and philosophy of life. Not PR or advertising articles.
My name is Emma Rogers
Let me know if you are interested in describing Hartmann's biography as an author, please. I can give you more information RogEmma (talk) 08:17, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20221212081700","author":"RogEmma","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-RogEmma-20221212081700-Creation_of_an_article_on_Wikipedia","replies":[]}}-->

Hello and welcome to the March 2023 newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since December and our Annual Report for 2022. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. We extend a warm welcome to all of our new members, including those who have signed up for our current March Backlog Elimination Drive. We wish you all happy copy-editing.
Election results: In our December 2022 coordinator election, Reidgreg and Tenryuu stepped down as coordinators; we thank them for their service. Incumbents Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis and Zippybonzo were returned as coordinators until 1 July. For the second time, no lead coordinator was chosen. Nominations for our mid-year Election of Coordinators open on 1 June (UTC).
Drive: 21 editors signed up for our January Backlog Elimination Drive, 14 of whom claimed at least one copy-edit. Between them, they copy-edited 170 articles totaling 389,737 words. Barnstars awarded are here.
Blitz: Our February Copy Editing Blitz focused on October and November 2022 requests, and the March and April 2022 backlogs. Of the 14 editors who signed up, nine claimed at least one copy-edit; and between them, they copy-edited 39,150 words in 22 articles. Barnstars awarded are here.
Progress report: As of 12:08, 19 March 2023 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 73 requests since 1 January 2023, all but five of them from 2022, and the backlog stands at 1,872 articles.
Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis and Zippybonzo.
