We have reached the end of our fourth backlog elimination drive. Thanks to all who participated. Stats ![]()
Barnstars If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the September 2010 backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found here). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering these barnstars within the next couple of weeks. Our next drive is scheduled for January 2011. In the meantime, please consider helping out at the Wikification drive or any of the other places where help with backlogs is needed. Thank you for participating in the last 2010 backlog elimination drive! We look forward to seeing you in January!

Zool
Hi, I´ve writed the developement section of Zool and Sorry for my bad English dude, But everything is true
http://amr.abime.net/amr_search.php?search=zool&mag_id=0&action=Find
as to see in the four previews of the original Zool, there was even a playable Demo with the Spell casting intact ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.126.25.136 (talk) 01:09, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to. If I removed one of your edits, then it was probably because it was not properly cited. If you tell me what the issue is I'd gladly help you! EWikistTalk 01:13, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Well you deleted the whole section.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.126.25.136 (talk) 01:17, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but, again, I'm not completely sure what you are referring to. I'm using an automated tool and I'm going through many edits at once. If you tell me what I did and what you think I did wrong, maybe I can help you. Thanks! EWikistTalk 01:21, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Shinil high school
Hello EWikist. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Shinil high school, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to schools. Thank you. Nancy talk 17:55, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
- Whoops! Thank you for correcting me. I thought it did apply. EWikistTalk 17:56, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Zappeion
hi, i wasn't sure how to reply to your message, so i hope this message reaches you.
Thanks for the correction about citations, as for that fact that needs citation, what if I want to challenge whether or not it is even true? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeorgeStilly (talk • contribs) 18:19, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
- Your message reached me! If you believe a fact is untrue, and you don't want to remove it from the article, bring it up on the article's talk page. If it looks like the talk page isn't going to have much activity (as in nobody is going to see your message for a while), you can always look at the history and see which users have had involvement in with the article in the past.
- Also, don't forget to sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~)! Happy editing, EWikistTalk 18:24, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Huggle
Hi. It's not a big thing, but I was a little unhappy about the way you reverted[1] my edit earlier. That edit certainly should not have been marked as minor, as if I was vandalising, and the edit summary didn't accurately describe what I had done (I left a very complete explanation). I've looked through your edits and I notice you're frequently using Huggle to revert good faith, accurate edits, and even corrections, with the summary "Reverted addition of unsourced content and/or unexplained removal of content". If you're in doubt about the veracity of something the default assumption should not be that it needs to be removed as quickly as possible. I'm talking about things like this: [2][3][4][5], where at most a [citation needed] template would have been appropriate. Again, I don't think it's a serious problem, I'm just asking for a little more consideration. --188.221.105.68 (talk) 21:41, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing that out. I agree with you completely on the academy one, and that I did not fully understand the change. I do want to note, however, that yes, many of my reverts may have been to good faith edits, but I never labeled them as vandalism. Small, unexplained changes like this are commonly intentional inaccuracies. I try to only revert these kinds of things if they are edits on certain facts that are not likely to change, like a year that something happened. If these are definitely accurate changes it should be noted in the edit summary so it does not get seen as vandalism. (I'm not sure how I missed your summary, by the way. It was very clear.)
- Again, my revert on your edit was definitely unnecessary, and I apologize. I probably should have looked back a step to see that you were really fixing it. It's good that you decided to look into it further, though, and I'll try to be a bit more discerning in the future! EWikistTalk 21:58, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

GOCE drive news
Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! The drive is halfway over, so here are some mid-drive stats. ![]()
![]() So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can sign up now.
We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal. Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success! Your drive coordinators –S Masters (talk), Diannaa (Talk), The UtahraptorTalk to me, and Tea with toast (Talk) |

Abou the M1 Abrams page, that ip adress keeps removing the content, however you and I keep reverting it, let's not get into an edit war but... yeah. SilverSoul91911 (talk) 19:26, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, I noticed that. Don't worry too much, as the IP is the one violating the three-revert rule, not us. A brief look at the talk page leads me to believe the IP might have a valid point, but was acting without consensus. Thanks for your concern, and happy editing!
