[edit]Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their November 2011 Backlog elimination drive, 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). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles (and specifically will be targeting the oldest three months), as we want to copy edit as many of these as possible. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. |

The article Nabeel Khan has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
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 article 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. Mbinebri talk ← 01:29, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

A Message From WikiProject: Barnstar Awarding
[edit]Hello, I am writing from WikiProject Barnstar Awarding. As a member of the project, I thought you may be interested in one of our new feature - a live news feed. Formally, any project news was displayed on the project page and any important messages (like this one) had to be idividualy delivered. We now, however, have a new feature - a news feed. The way this works is by the project having a news page (which can be found [[WP:WikiProject Barnstar Awarding/News|here). Users then place the following on their talk page
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Barnstar Awarding/News}}
News will then be updated on your talk page (or anywhere else you decided to place this template). Please note that the new messages template will not be shown as news is updated.
We hope that you will help support this new feature and will add the template to your user space. Now this feature is in place, messages adressed to the whole WikiProject will no longer be individualy delivered.

[edit] Guild of Copy Editors November 2011 backlog elimination drive update
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors November 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter. Participation: We have had 46 people sign up for this drive so far, and 28 have copy edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't joined, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We are making great progress in our goal of clearing out the oldest articles (April, May, and June 2010) from the queue. There are 122 articles left in those categories, which compares very favorably with the 281 that were present at the close of the September drive. We have reduced the 2010 backlog by 184 articles so far. Coordinator elections: The term of our second tranche of coordinators will be running out at the end of the year, and we will be accepting nominations for new coordinators early in December. The election will likely run in the last two weeks of December. Please consider helping out by nominating yourself or someone else in the Guild as one of our coordinators. The commitment is for a six-month term. Thanks. Your drive coordinators – Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02 and SMasters |

Aayudham Seivom
[edit]Hello! I reviewed your copyedit of Aayudham Seivom. I made my own changes here- [1]. Although some of my changes were merely attempts to improve sentence flow, some are more grammatical in nature. Examples of this are "After his discharged" -> "After he is discharged", the run-on sentence in the first sentence (using a comma to link two complete sentences), not capitalizing people's names, and wrong subject-verb agreements such as "But VBR destroy the evidence", which could be "But VBR destroyed the evidence". I hope that you will keep copyediting and improve, but also that you'll take my comments into consideration.--Slon02 (talk) 05:40, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
- Yes I'll. Thanks --—Assassin'S Creed (talk) 16:43, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Assassin's Creed, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia!
I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you worked on, Kamran Shahid, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
It helps to explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the Help Desk. Thanks again for contributing! Appealcourt (talk) 04:29, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Your wikification
[edit]Hey AC, jsut wanted to drop by and ask you about a couple articles you wikifies for the December Wikification drive. Here you simply removed the wikify tag and added the word "private" so that the article read "...is a private public airport..." What the heck is a "private public airport", lol? Also, as a general rule it is not necessary to include every parameter in an infobox. Anyway, you do good work but there are a couple things here and there you could do better. Please make sure you wikify carefully. Cheers -- Nolelover Talk·Contribs 17:06, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks dear, I am working carefully. I think there was nothing to wikify Here so I just removed wikify tag. And on other hand I'll take care of parameters in infobox. Cheers too. --—Assassin'S Creed (talk) 17:14, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- That's fine if you just remove the {{wikify}} template, but if you do that we ask that you don't list it as an article you've done for the drive simply because you didn't actually do any work. Anyway, thanks -- Nolelover Talk·Contribs 17:31, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hmmm, I understand now what to do with that. Thanks --—Assassin'S Creed (talk) 19:13, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- (Just dropping by) You could've wikified "Mirny", "Polyarny" and "Zhigansk". --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 22:48, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Guild of Copy Editors November 2011 backlog elimination drive report
![]() Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors November 2011 Backlog elimination drive! We would like to thank all who participated in this drive. Here is the end-of-drive report.
There were 48 editors who signed-up for this drive, of which 35 participated. Thank you to everyone who helped reduce the size of the backlog!
During the drive, we reduced the backlog by 232 articles, or by about 6%. This is a two percent increase from our September drive, when we copy edited 4% of the backlog. We were successful in our primary goal of clearing the oldest three months—March, April, and May 2010—from the queue. Thanks to all who helped copy edit these difficult articles. Thus far we have reduced the copy edit backlog by 5086 articles, or by about 61%. End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here.
The term of our second tranche of coordinators has run out, and we will be accepting nominations from December 5, 00:01 UTC to December 15, 23:59 UTC. If you or any other member of the Guild of Copy Editors wishes to be a coordinator, add your name to this page along with a statement describing why you believe you should be a coordinator for the Guild. You must be able to commit to a six month term. Thanks! Once again, thank you for participating in the Guild's November 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Our next drive will be in January, and we hope to see you there! Your drive coordinators – Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02 and SMasters |

[edit]The Wikilink Barnstar | ||
I don't care if it's not the end of the drive yet, but I think it is more sentimental of somebody's good work is appreciated unexpectedly instead of the "do this and we give you that" feeling regarding wikification drives. So, I hereby award you the Wikilink Barnstar for your effort in wikifying 110 articles (and counting) sixteen days into the drive. Cheers ![]() |
