Welcome to the GOCE!

Hello BluePenguin18 and welcome to the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE)! We are glad that you have decided to help us in our mission to improve the quality of writing on the English Wikipedia! Here are some links that you might find helpful to get started on your copy-editing journey!

You can help with copy-editing requests if you already have familiarity with the MOS and considerable English copy-editing skills, or start with articles tagged for copy editing to gain experience.

Thank you so much for joining the GOCE, we appreciate it!

Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court of Kentucky moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court of Kentucky. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 17:27, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Significa liberdade, thanks for reaching out!

Talk:Mating of yeast/GA2

Hi ViridianPenguin, were you able to complete a full review for Talk:Mating of yeast/GA2? If not, no worries, but we'd like to relist it for a new reviewer due to the upcoming backlog drive. Best, CMD (talk) 07:58, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rufus Wheeler Peckham (1809–1873), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Samuel Dickson (politician). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi ViridianPenguin, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

Autopatrolled granted

Hi ViridianPenguin, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. (They will automatically start being included in search results, so it may be helpful to work on them in draft or user space or mark them as unreviewed if they will need more cleanup before going live.) Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this.

Question

I don't understand something about your edit. We as a matter of course always indicate the year or years (if uncertain) of birth in a bio in the first sentence. But you have deleted - again? - such reference completely here. You must have something in mind, but I am not clear why you would leave the first sentence without any reference to her year of birth.

Oops! In reverting the edit where two years were listed, I assumed it would say "(born 1986)", not eliminate that parenthetical info entirely. I have added that back in. Thanks for the heads up! ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 16:13, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi. My concern with your revision

here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danielle_Sassoon&diff=prev&oldid=1278627874

is that it opens up the (mis)reading of that sentence to mean "Sassoon sent a letter ... stating her intent to resign (if forced to drop the charges) for explicitly political reasons".

I know that is not how you intend it to be read. But reconstructing the sentence in that manner does leave open that interpretation. In my reading. Thanks. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:3168:4A15:C6E5:3F08 (talk) 22:45, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Not sure I follow. Sassoon stated that she would resign if forced to [action] for [reason], a simple conditional sentence, whereas your rewording is an interruption of "if forced to drop the charges" with the rationale. Moving "for explicitly political reasons" to the end of the sentence separates it from her resignation threat for clarity. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 23:50, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
It's not the most serious issue in the world. But the way I read it, as recast, it is open to two interpretations. One of which is that she intended to resign " for explicitly political reasons." I'm trying to find a way to close out the possibility of that second reading (obviously a misreading). --2603:7000:2101:AA00:3168:4A15:C6E5:3F08 (talk) 00:21, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

History of Christianity

I just want to say thank you again, you've been so reasonable, and I see that you have tried and tried to reach some kind of compromise at the FAC, but it's clear they are having none of it. That does not in any way reflect on the value of your efforts, which I thought were really great suggestions, so I hope you won't let it bug you. You are awesome, and I hope we have the opportunity to work together - without interference - another time.

I don't know if you noticed in the wall of text, but I supported the changes you suggested to UC. I thought they were both good. Plus, it is necessary that you strike your "comments" heading and change it to upvote. The coordinators have told me not to worry about the Oppose, but I am!

Upcoming expiry of your patroller right

Hi, this is an automated reminder as part of Global reminder bot to let you know that your permission "patroller" (New page reviewers) will expire on 00:00, 3 May 2025 (UTC). For most rights, you will need to renew at WP:PERM, unless you have been told otherwise when your right was approved. To opt out of user right expiry notifications, add yourself to m:Global reminder bot/Exclusion. Leaderbot (talk) 19:41, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amazon Callao FC

This was a poor close IMHO. It should have been draftify OR redirect, not both. GiantSnowman 20:40, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

@GiantSnowman Appreciate the feedback! Can you explain why it should not be both when Template:R with possibilities exists to facilitate such redirects to the broader topic until the draft is ready for mainspace? This is a genuine question, as I have not had much occasion to draftify content in my new page patrolling. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 21:21, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
Because somebody clicking on Amazon Callao FC will be redirected, and if they click the redirect, there is no indication that Draft:Amazon Callao FC exists. Therefore, there is a very high risk that a well meaning editor will overwrite the redirect, leaving us with two articles on the same topic, which will be a nightmare to tidy up when somebody realised. GiantSnowman 06:37, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
You've only used R with possibilities after I flagged this issue with you, I see. GiantSnowman 06:38, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
Apologies, I only meant to ask whether Template:R with possibilities makes it acceptable to draftify the existing content and convert the page to a redirect for the time being, not pretend that I had done that from the outset. Based on your response, the answer seems yes. Thanks for the clarification and enjoy your vacation! ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 12:41, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

List of France international footballers (1–4 caps)

Following your logic, then you also have to PROD the following articles: List of Albania international footballers (1–24 caps), List of Austria international footballers (1–24 caps), List of Belgium international footballers (1–4 caps), List of Belgium international footballers (5–20 caps), List of Denmark international footballers (1–24 caps), List of England international footballers with one cap, List of England international footballers (2–3 caps), List of England international footballers (4–9 caps), List of Norway international footballers with one cap, List of Norway international footballers (2–9 caps), List of Norway international footballers (10–24 caps), List of Scotland international footballers with one cap, List of Scotland international footballers (2–3 caps), and List of Scotland international footballers (4–9 caps).

Therefore, you have to either remove your PROD from France, or you PROD all of the above. There is no middle ground. Simple as that. Kind regards. Barr Theo (talk) 21:59, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi Barr, I appreciate the well-researched reply. I agree that if List of France international footballers (1–4 caps) deserves deletion under my rationale, so do all of these. I still think that only the "List of [Country] international footballers" articles satisfy WP:NLIST, not these side articles for those with fewer appearances than the parent page cuts off at. However, if the practice is so widespread, it clearly deserves discussion with a WP:MULTIAFD, so I have retracted the PROD and will prepare that. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 22:13, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
@ViridianPenguin: “Hi Barr”, I’m pretty sure that this is first time someone refers to me simply as “Barr”. Usually, it is “Barr Theo” or even “Theo”.
“Well-researched reply”, bro, I didn’t have to research anything. It’s all in {{Template:International footballers}}
“I will prepare that”, it’s been a month, dude. Are you going to do it or what? I would like to know if these pages are eligible for Wikipedia before I spent +4 hours creating List of France international footballers (5–19 caps).
Kind regards. Luis7M (talk) 01:39, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
