Liq—thanks, that was AWESOME. My son actually came to me that same afternoon, and was like, "Hey, I met this really nice lady on Wikipedia, she left a really nice comment on my talk page, and actually she was so nice that I... told her my whole name." And I went, "You WHAT?!?!" So after I put the fear of god into him by telling him (again) about child predators posing as kindly older women, I went and checked out his correspondent, Figureskatingfan, who turned out to in fact be a kindly older woman (entirely beside the point of course). Anyway, while I'm glad the thread was rapidly suppressed, the speed and anonymity with which it happened did have a slightly Big Brother quality to it that made my feelings just a little mixed. So thanks for letting me know what happened, and for playing a really positive role on here by looking out for younger users—not least my son! AdRock (talk) 12:01, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
DYK for Monte Carlo (2011 film)
On May 17, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Monte Carlo (2011 film), which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
Requests Report - Good news! The number of special requests waiting to be edited has been reduced drastically, with almost all of the remaining items having editors committed to getting them done. Good work, people!
Target Report - ɳorɑfʈ's initial target of reducing the backlog of articles for copy edit turned out to be unrealistic insane, so a new target was set: we hope to reduce the to backlog to less than 7,500 items in the queue by the end of the month. The number in the queue was 7,950 as of close of business yesterday.
If we "concentrate our firepower" we can wipe out Jan, Feb, and March 2008, meaning the drive will have cleared four months off the backlog queue. Please consider copyediting from one of these months.
Rewards Report - We now have some clear leaders on the board in all three Gold Star categories, and many people have qualified for the various barnstars. It is not too late to participate, as it takes just 2,000 words (pre-edit) to qualify for a barnstar! Don't wait! Start participating today. Remember, the ultimate winner is Wikipedia.
Notice to Participants - For those who have indicated that you will be working on certain articles on the drive page in your respective tally box, please ensure that you complete these copyedits as soon as possible.
Thank you very much for your participation so far!
Well, kind of like yours, but I'm basicly gonna be poining things out. I'm work on Wikiqoute too. I'm mostly on there. But, when I'm on here I ask questions, and answer questions on discussion pages. Oh, and I fix little tiny things on pages most people don't see. Graceannhill (talk) 19:23, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! Graceannhill (talk) 20:12, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes they do, haha. And yes sure, here is the first page of four. There's a lot of information about Can't Be Tamed that I've already added to the article. And doesn't she look absolutely beautiful in the top picture? It blew me away. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message05:05, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely a good picture of her. I was a bit disappointed that there aren't any real ballads on the CD (I think those are her best), but the previews for "Two More Lonely People" and "Liberty Walk" sound really good. Which ones do you like best? liquidluck✽talk22:50, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
3 ballads, which is little compared to past albums. I loved all the samples - "Stay" and "Take Me Along" being the lowest points but still good. My favorites were "Who Owns My Heart", "Forgiveness & Love", and "Scars". "Permanent December" also sounded really good. I can't wait until June 22! -- ipodnano05 * leave@message01:10, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to bother but Fearless (Taylor Swift song) is being reviewed and they are asking for a sample of the song. Can you compose one, please? Something that involves the chorus and the line about dancing in the rain with her best dress on would definitely be cool. Thank you. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message01:42, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, by real ballads I meant more acoustic ones, they're all more dance-poppy. But the songs ate still quite good, definitely liked Permanent December. Unfortunately, my computer with the song editing program crashed, and I'm temporarily using a different one that I can't download anything on to. I should have my computer back by the end of the week (I've already sent it in), so ask if having one by next weekend would be alright. liquidluck✽talk01:51, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh no worries, I will most definitely do that. "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", "Forgiveness & Love", and "Stay" sounded like ballads to me. The first did have a little bit of synths in it though. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message01:54, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I'd like to help on the your sandbox but quite frankly don't want to get in the way of what you're doing. Maybe you could assign some section to me? -- ipodnano05 * leave@message04:19, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Do you think you can write an "other work" section, with her philanthropy and entrepeneurship? I'm not sure if the article also needs a performance style section, since she supposedly won't be doing much music anymore and a shift from pop to country-pop to dance-pop can be covered in the biography. Then again, the biography is already really long and needs shortening. liquidluck✽talk12:10, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I hope you don't mind but I copy-and-pasted your introduction from your sandbox into the article (I credited you in the edit summary). If you do mind, I'm sorry and I'll take it out. liquidluck✽talk19:50, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I don't mind at all. And I think it still needs a style section even if she takes a musical hiatus. As far that hiatus goes, it's just going to be a break for a few years. I give it three or four years, five at most. It's just that she's been restless in music ever since she started. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message00:34, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I agree some of it needs shortening. For example, the unless it broke some kind of record the sales of its first week should not be mentioned. Specially like for the first soundtrack, the artists it beat out isn't important. In the Janet Jackson article, it says the RIAA certification for all the albums and the worldwide sales of each. Also, the fact that The Last Song is mentioned in the 2009 subsection seems unnecessary. Can't whatever that is stated there be merged into the 2010 subsection? Just a few ideas. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message03:06, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree the first week sales are unnecessary, so I removed them. I put The Last Song in 2009 because it was part of her transition and fit in with the narrative. I'd rather not move it for now, although it could be later on. I'm not convinced a style section is necessary; what do you think it would include that can't be included in the biography? liquidluck✽talk04:18, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Her variety, how at first she did teen pop, and since has explored pop rock, country pop, electropop, dance-pop, and adult contemporary. Her vocals have enriched throughout her career, that can be used too. It could all reference specific songs and critics. Also, it takes a bit of out the transition in the biography and helps to shorten it. As for performance, that has changed quite a bit too. At first she never rode on a motorcycle in the middle of a concert. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message04:30, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe the best place to discuss this is the main talk page. First I'll ask if there are any major objections to the sandbox article, copy-and-paste it over if there aren't any, and then we can discuss the issue on the main talk. liquidluck✽talk04:51, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I ran across this and I think you should mention that The Time of Our Lives peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and that it was the year's best selling EP. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message21:32, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much to all who helped with the Guild of Copy EditorsBacklog Elimination Drive. We were very close to meeting our target of 7,500 articles remaining in the backlog. Our most shining success is the incredible reduction in the backlog of Special Requests. That part of the project saw a drop from 62 articles in the queue, some dating back to February of 2009, down to a stunning THREE, all of which were being edited at the close of the drive. The Special Requests page will now be a great resource for people looking to tidy up their article in advance of a GA or FA nomination, instead of a place where articles go to die.
Moving forward
GOCE backlog elimination drive chart up to 31 May
The drive has not only forced a great leap forward in reducing the backlog. It has helped promote the Guild, and led to a greater awareness of the level of vigilance required to keep the backlog manageable. Ideas such as charts, graphs, and barnstars helped motivate editors, and meeting other users helped quell any feelings gnomish editors may have had in the past that they were toiling all alone. Keep up the good work people!!

I saw somewhere that Cyrus wrote on Miles to Go that she was inspired to write "Bottom of the Ocean" after her fished died. I want to make sure it's true and I saw that you used it as a ref on your sandbox. Do you own the book? If so, can you please tell me the page so I can include it on the Breakout article? -- ipodnano05 * leave@message02:04, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, no thanks. As soon as my parents decide it's time for them to take me to the library I'll check the book out. My parents are really busy so it's going to be kind of hard. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message17:41, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Barnstar
The Cleanup Barnstar
For your copyediting efforts during the May 2010 Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive, editing 6 articles with a combined total of 10,066 words, I hereby award you this Cleanup Barnstar. Congratulations and thank you for all your hard work! --DiannaaTALK02:55, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Websites are not included in the list of things requiring italics, but I just checked and I can't find anything actually prohibiting italics for websites, it's just (in my experience) customary. :This discussion on Template talk:Cite web supports not italicizing websites and channels, although it also recognizes that there is no policy actually prohibiting the italics. The use of italics for websites was mentioned on at least three FA candidacies (1, 2, 3]), all of which appear to support not using italics on websites.
If this is contentious, we can bring it up on the talk page. I was also thinking about discussing removing all publishers, because they're not easily standardized. liquidluck✽talk06:11, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
De-italicising the content of the "|work=" field serves no useful purpose, especially since there is no policy against it. It does, however, confuse other editors when they see a field that is italicised by default with italics in it. It's best just to go with the defaults. As for removing publishers, it's best to provide as much information in citation templates so as to help avoid linkrot. In the event that a link goes dead, inclusion of the publisher may assist in replacing the dead link so it's not a good idea to remove such information just because you can't standardise. Citations don't need to be standardised in this way, it's just nice to do. If the contents of the "|work=" and "|publisher=" fields are identical, only one is needed ut otherwise, there's nothing to be gained by deleting the "|publisher=" field. --AussieLegend (talk) 06:30, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree, the format of an article should be the best format for the reader, which I believe is the consistent formatting of publications. If Salon.com appears unitalicized in the text, it should remain so in the citation. This is a minor point for me, though, and my opinion isn't overly strong.
As for publishers, I can appreciate their usefulness but not as they are currently used in the article. Knowing that a citation links to a Washington Post reprint of a Hollywood Reporter article would certainly be useful, but the usefulness of knowing that The WP is owned by the Washington Post Company or that HR is owned by e5 Global Media—depending on which owner is chosen to fill the field—is not clear to me. In my opinion, this citation should be rendered |work=The Hollywood Reporter |publisher=The Washington Post, or, if the article is published on Washingtonpost.com, |work=The Hollywood Reporter |publisher=Washingtonpost.com—which would effectively solve the above italics-on-websites issue. liquidluck✽talk07:09, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer permission
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
Thanks for thinking of me, HJ! Question---I can't find the answer anywhere---as a test edit is not vandalism, am I supposed to accept and then revert it after accepting, or can I simply not accept and leave a note? liquidluck✽talk04:34, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) I would say just undo it, and leave an edit summary saying so. That seems to be most efficient; I don't think you have to accept everything that is not obvious vandalism, otherwise it'd just be rollback in reverse. {{Sonia|ping|enlist}}07:07, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, accept it then revert it unless it's vandaspam, a BLP violation or a copyvio. It's just designed to screen out the most damaging stuff so, like with rollback really, if it looks like it good be good faith, don't treat it as vandalism. You're more than welcome anyway and let me (or my talk page stalkers!) know if you need anything else! All the best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:33, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I don't own it. I actually don't own any Miley Cyrus music other than See You Again and the two on the The Last Song soundtrack. Maybe TehRandomPerson can get it? But regardless, it isn't actually required for GA (like images---WP:GA? #6) so ask if the reviewer can pass it without one.liquidluck✽talk04:28, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for signing up for the July Backlog Elimination Drive! The copyedit backlog stretches back two and a half years, all the way back to the beginning of 2008! We're really going to need all the help we can muster to get it down to a manageable number. We've ambitiously set a goal of clearing all of 2008 from the backlog this month. In order to do that, we're going to need more participants. Is there anyone that you can invite or ask to participate with you?

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.
First, I saw that there have been a lot of editions to Can't Be Tamed. I want to say that I think we should keep the "Development" section strictly about the the process of coming up with the songs. There is new info there that I thought would be good for the "Transition" section since it is about her changing her sound and image. As for the "Critical reception" section, I think it should be based on the critics opinions of the album overall and not mentioning any songs (then the text might grow too long), but that's just my opinion. See Breakout if you can't exactly picture what I'm talking about. The second thing is that do you mind crossing out your suggestions on the Taylor Swift discography FL talk. An editor recently removed the done templates, asking not to use them. Thank you, please reply as soon as you have the chance. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message03:19, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weird, I thought I'd already replied to this! Maybe I didn't save. I've crossed off my comments and left two new ones, sorry about that. As for the Can't Be Tamed comments, maybe you should bring those up on the talk page so that other editors can read them and weigh in? liquidluck✽talk20:05, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hey. I'm sorry but I need your help. I found absolutely great information for the "Compositon" section of "Today Was a Fairytale", which I'm working on in User:Ipodnano05/Sandbox4. The source is great, but I have absolutely no idea how to add it to the section. It's already halfway done. Can please just help with that. I'll do everything else myself :) -- ipodnano05 * leave@message16:40, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've added as much as possible, but most of it is littered with critical reception. Definitely good to use as a review, though, because it discusses the music well. I haven't actually listened to the whole CD, but so far I kind of agree with the critics; she's better off without all the technology. I wish she had gone rock instead like she originally planned, but maybe I'll change my mind after hearing the entire album. Do you have a favorite? liquidluck✽talk09:06, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not a big fan of the auto-tune but I still love all the dance numbers. Um, I already bought the deluxe editon and my favorite is "Forgiveness & Love". Most of the other tracks equal to each other. It's pretty good, I think. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message17:11, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
We haven't worked together for a really long time. I think we should start on a new project on one of our sandboxes. My fourth one is empty. Can you do it? If so, what would you like to work on? I'm thinking "Party in the U.S.A." or maybe a tour. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message00:44, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the material in question because it violated the biograhpies of living persons (BLP) policy. In making that decision, I carefully read the article and cited sources. I reviewed the actual lyrics and what Taylor Swift says/writes about her song writing. Per BLP, objectionable material should be removed immediately without notice or discussion. A longer (detailed) response is here. Sehome Bay (talk) 22:52, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid I agree with Sehome Bay and I've removed the line. That's a very sensitive topic and could potentially cause real offence and damage to the reputation of a named, living person and since Swift hasn't commented on the interpretation, we shouldn't be repeating other people's speculation. A good test to use is how you would feel if that was written about you in an article that gets fair viewing statistics. Also, I hate to load it onto you (I'm not being critical, or not trying to anyway!), but, per WP:BLP#Restoring deleted content, material removed in good faith as a potential BLP violation shouldn't be reinstated without discussion. If you need anything, just yell- I'm watching your talk page, or you can post on mine or email me. :) Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:21, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GOCE July 2010 backlog elimination drive chart
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have now passed the halfway point, so here's an update.
Progress Report - Progress toward the targets has been good. 751 articles out of the approximately 1,600 we would like to get completed by the end of the month were done by July 15, so we will be very close to meeting the target for volume. However, we would like to clear all of the 2008 articles from the backlog, and there are still 892 left to do. Please consider choosing one of these older articles when looking for something to copy edit. If we focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue.
Participation Report - 95 people signed up for the July drive. This is a great result compared to May, when we had 36. However, in May only one person that signed up didn't do any copy edits, and in July only 59 of the 95 have posted any copy edits on the big board.
The task may seem insurmountable but please remember that if all 95 participants copy edit just one article a day from now until the end of the month, we will eliminate 1,300 more articles from the backlog. So please consider participating at whatever level you can! All contributions are appreciated.

The goals for this drive are to eliminate 2008 from the queue and to reduce the backlog to fewer than 5,000 articles.
Sign-up has already begun at the September drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page.
Awards and barnstars
A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants. Some are exclusive to GoCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.
The Wikipedia Guild of Copy-Editors invites you to participate in the November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue.
Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page.
A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants, some of which are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page.
Fair use rationale for File:SeeYouAgain-MileyCyrus.ogg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:SeeYouAgain-MileyCyrus.ogg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. AussieLegend (talk) 12:54, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
⚠ Thanks for uploading File:SeeYouAgain-MileyCyrus.ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

We have reached the end of the year, and what a year it has been! The Guild of Copy Editors was full of activity, and we achieved numerous important milestones in 2010. Read all about these in the Guild's 2010 Year-End Report.
Highlights
Membership grows to 503 editors
2,589 articles removed through four Backlog elimination drives
The page created by mine has new layout and I really hope that it will be kept, as I will make further improvement to it.
Have your say here, thank you. I will notice other users joined above AfD, too. Silvergoat (talk∙contrib)08:40, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
GOCE drive newsletter
The Guild of Copy Editors – May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive
The Guild of Copy Editors invite you to participate in the May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive began on May 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on May 31 at 23:59 (UTC). The goals of this backlog elimination drive are to eliminate as many articles as possible from the 2009 backlog and to reduce the overall backlog by 15%. ! NEW ! In an effort to encourage the final elimination of all 2009 articles, we will be tracking them on the leaderboard for this drive.
Awards and barnstars
A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants. Some are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page.
You are receiving a copy of this newsletter as you are a member of the Guild of Copy Editors, or have participated in one of our drives. If you do not wish to receive future newsletters, please add you name here. Sent on behalf of the Guild of Copy Editors using AWB on 07:46, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
The latest GOCE backlog elimination drive is under way! It began on 1 July and so far 18 people have signed up to help us reduce the number of articles in need of copyediting.
This drive will give a 50% bonus for articles edited from the GOCE requests page. Although we have cleared the backlog of 2009 articles there are still 3,935 articles needing copyediting and any help, no matter how small, would be appreciated.
We are appealing to all GOCE members, and any other editors who wish to participate, to come and help us reduce the number of articles needing copyediting, as well as the backlog of requests. If you have not signed up yet, why not take a look at the current signatories and help us by adding your name and copyediting a few articles. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words".
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
