Re Trump

I believe the Signpost piece is about articles new since 2015. EEng 00:22, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Draft page: MEnvesti

Hello DannyS712, thank you for your feedback on the wiki draft page for MEnvesti. I have done more in-depth research about the company to reflect the standards for encyclopedia entries as you suggested. The new draft has been re-submitted and awaiting re-review. Thank you for looking into it again. Link: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:MEnvesti — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jim Arthur (talkcontribs) 02:53, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

@Jim Arthur: Thanks for your work. I or another reviewer will take a look at it again DannyS712 (talk) 02:55, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

@DannyS712:

I noticed you closed the above CfD deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 January 18 as "delete" as a non-admin before the category had been deleted. Are we allowed to do that in obvious cases where the speedy deletion will be accepted (i.e., empty category being one)? Just so I know for future.

Thanks,
--Doug Mehus T·C 01:04, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

@Dmehus: Cfd is a bit different from other non-admin closures. See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Administrator instructions for more. A few sysops have been kind enough to copy my closes over for the bot to process, see WT:CFDW. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 01:20, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
DannyS712, Thank you. I'm going to re-examine those pages more thoroughly, particularly the latter link which I'm not sure I've seen. Doug Mehus T·C 01:36, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

This week's article for improvement (week 5, 2020)

The Serengeti ecosystem is a geographical region located in northern Tanzania, Africa. It spans approximately 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi), and hosts the second largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world. Pictured is a leopard in a tree in the Serengeti.

Hello, DannyS712

Thank you for creating Jim Walsh (Washington politician).

User:Insertcleverphrasehere, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

First ref can be used for non-controversial info but isn't independent. It meets an SNG, but it is good preactice to also show meeting the GNG. To meet the GNG, it would 1 additional source.

DannyS712, Yes! sorry I don't mean to imply that you did anything wrong, was meant to be confirmation that it can be used even though it isn't independent. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)(click me!) 19:10, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello, DannyS712

Thank you for creating Mike Chapman (politician).

User:Insertcleverphrasehere, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

In this case, again he meets the SNG, but neither source would contribute to demonstrating meeting the GNG. The first source is fine for what it is cited for, but doesn't represent significant coverage, the second source is not independent.

Fix LintErrors

Hi DannyS712, Hope you well, I'd like to ask you that is there any automated or semi-automated process to fix lint errors. I'd like to fix lint errors on bnwiki. Thanks in advance! Warm Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 20:20, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Requesting you to be my mentor

Dear DannyS712, I was asked by Mgasparin to be as my mentor, I requested for AfC and was denied for not meeting minimum edit requirements, I would like to learn more about the things for AfC or AfD, I have been active on fighting vandalism until November of last month, resumed this year in January and started my fighting in vandalism, after few edits I saw an article which I felt should have not been approved for article of creation so I decided to apply for AfC and awaited for review, after a week I saw that my request was denied and check a message left by Mgasparin to my thread created when I requested for AfC, Mgasparin recommended you as one of the 3 mentors and starting from today I am going to resume my editing here on Wikipedia until Summer. Looking forward to hearing from you. Angus1986 (talk) 01:16, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

@Angus1986: sorry, I'm not sure I'm a good choice. My schedule is very hectic, and I can't commit to anything right now. Sorry DannyS712 (talk) 01:27, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – February 2020

News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2020).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, partial blocks are now enabled on the English Wikipedia. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped at Wikipedia:Partial blocks.
  • The request for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed with wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No proposed process received consensus.

Technical news

  • Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. There is currently one template: {{uw-pblock}}.
  • When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title. [4]

Arbitration

  • Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.

Miscellaneous

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 12

Suggesting a new feature

A much welcomed feature might be the possibility to sort files in Categories similar to the option to sort files in Windows directories, that is by name (now default and only option), by date, by file or image size, by type and what have you. The possibility to sort by date would be a tremendous improvement, since it shows in a click which files have been added, files that may inspire the expansion or the improvement of an article on Wikipedia. Sorting by file size would make it very easy to select the best resolution etc. etc. This feature seems to come in so handy, that I can hardly believe it doesn't already exist (or am I missing an existing tool?). Maybe if you have the time and the mood... Greetings, Eissink (talk) 14:52, 5 February 2020 (UTC).

@Eissink: I don't think such a tool already exists DannyS712 (talk) 16:11, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
I suddenly realize that this is not your Commons User talk page, but I guess you noticed that I was of course talking about Commons. Thanks, Eissink (talk) 21:55, 5 February 2020 (UTC).
@Eissink: Nope, I hadn't noticed. If this is a tool meant for commons though, it makes more sense DannyS712 (talk) 22:08, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Lint errors at German Wikisource

Dear DannyS712, first I want to thank you in general for your contributions to erase the Lint errors. Unfortunatly some automatic replacements are rather damaging to our project. As an example: please do not replace <tt> tags, because special formatting guideline apply to our projects. These changes need to be undone. Best regards --Mapmarks (talk) 21:22, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

@Mapmarks: My apologies - I looked but didn't find an explanation for using `tt`. Given that the tag is deprecated, is there any plan to replace its usage? DannyS712 (talk) 21:46, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
Most of the German transcription projects use the <tt> tag for distinguishing Antiqua from Blackletter typefaces that appear in the transcribed sources. Many projects have their individual guidelines, for example s:de:Württembergische Oberamtsbeschreibungen/Editionsrichtlinien and s:de:ADB#Editionsrichtlinien. The tag is widely used for this purpose, I guess on 80% of all projects. At the moment ~214.900 errors are listed in the "obsolete-tag" section (tt and other tags).
I can’t remember if it was officially communicated to dewikisource that the tags are deprecated and should be replaced? And there is no plan to replace them, as far as I know. At least there should be a discussion about it first on German Wikisource, :) --Mapmarks (talk) 02:29, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
@Mapmarks: The deprecation was not a mediawiki decision; it is not supported for HTML5. See https://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_tt.asp DannyS712 (talk) 06:06, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

User script request

Can you create a user script that adds a link to edit requests to the sidebar? (Similar to User:DannyS712/Pending changes and User:DannyS712/New pages feed? Thank you, Interstellarity (talk) 14:15, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Interstellarity, Try User:Joshua Scott/Scripts/pendingchanges? For pending changes

?~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 14:45, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

@CAPTAIN MEDUSA: That's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a user script that adds a link to semi-protected and extended-protected edit requests in the sidebar. Interstellarity (talk) 15:23, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
@Interstellarity: Do you want links to the bot reports or the categories? DannyS712 (talk) 05:01, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
@DannyS712: I doesn't matter. I'm fine with either one. Interstellarity (talk) 11:33, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Interstellarity try this.
 mw.util.addPortletLink(
		'p-navigation',
		'/wiki/User:AnomieBOT/SPERTable',
		'Edit requests (semi)',
		'pt-semi',
		'view semi-protected edit requests'

		'Edit requests (extended)',
		'pt-extended',
		'view extended-protected edit requests'
		);

Hope this helps. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 18:10, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

@CAPTAIN MEDUSA: Thank you. The script worked, but I would rather see it in the Interaction section of the sidebar. Interstellarity (talk) 18:32, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
Interstellarity, replace the "p-navigation" with "p-personal". ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 18:33, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
@CAPTAIN MEDUSA: That still doesn't solve the problem. I didn't want where the links to my user and user talk page are. I would like the links where the link to Recent changes is. Interstellarity (talk) 18:40, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
Interstellarity, in that case, replace "p-navigation" with "p-interaction". That should work. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 18:44, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Short descriptions

Please be more careful with these. You've just tagged a bunch of politicians with shortdescriptions saying they were footballers because they played amateur football at some point. Shortdescription is for the reason the subject actually has an article, not the thing about them you find most interesting. The Drover's Wife (talk) 03:05, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello DannyS712,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources
Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

close requested

Hi Danny, I've been looking around at ANRFC and noticed that you have been doing quite a few RfC/discussion closures. As a favor, would you mind looking at Talk:Donald Trump#Veracity graphs to assess/close it? It is listed at WP:ANRFC, but it has been left open since November, and I would really like to quickly resolve the discussion. Thanks! Mgasparin (talk) 00:58, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

@Mgasparin: I may not have time, but I'll try to read through the discussion there soon DannyS712 (talk) 01:05, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
Thank you! Mgasparin (talk) 03:51, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi DannyS712. I think you know already this section was posted by a block-evading sockpuppet. I've removed it so that they cannot easily copy-and-paste it to other unsuspecting users. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:48, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Testing the Page Curation Tool with Wiktionary soft redirects

@DannyS712:

I see you are a New Page Patrol reviewer on English Wikipedia. Even though the guidelines at NPP don't, specifically, prohibit one reviewing pages they themselves created, the Wikipedia Page Curation Tool page says it's not available on pages one creates. Nevertheless, I would like to perform a test, and I need to find someone who is not autopatrolled. I did reach out to Utopes, and I see they are not autopatrolled, but I'm not sure where they are based. As I suspect you are North America based, would you mind browsing wikt:Category:English internet slang for a non-encyclopedic term we don't currently have a redirect or soft redirect for and create a Wiktionary soft redirect using {{Wiktionary redirect}}? That way, I can then test to see if the Page Curation Tool's toolbar shows up for Wikimedia sister project soft redirects.

Cheers,
Doug Mehus T·C 23:56, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

@Dmehus: I can confirm that it does show up; also, I am autopatrolled (global rollbacker :( ) - it shows up for normal redirects as well DannyS712 (talk) 00:05, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
DannyS712, Oh, I thought you said you weren't autopatrolled on English Wikipedia? Okay, that's fine then. As long as the tool shows up for Wiktonary redirects, that's great. Doug Mehus T·C 00:06, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
I see that Danny has already responded to you, but you cannot patrol pages that you have created. If you are autopatrolled, you still aren't able to patrol your own pages, because they are already marked as patrolled. The page curation tool does appear for your soft-redirect. Utopes (talk / cont) 00:44, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
Utopes, Thanks for clarifying. Doug Mehus T·C 02:19, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Elefen "LintErrors"

Hi, Danny. I noticed that at the LFN wikipedia, you have performed something called ‎"Spesial:LintErrors/bogus-image-options". I am not complaining - I would just like to know what that is.

MODCOMP IV rediredt?

The link for the MODCOMP IV computer on the PAVE PAWS Wikipedia page is pretty useless when it simply points back to that web page. In point of fact, the PAVE PAWS system was just one user of the MODCOMP IV system; the NASA ground support network had many of them, the oil industry was a major MODCOMP customer, and they saw use in computer-based instruction. So, on Jan. 24, 2020, I fixed the redirect of MODCOMP IV to refer to MODCOMP instead of PAVE PAWS#Development. There's a full paragraph on that web page that describes the characteristics of the MODCOMP IV, while the mention of the machine on the PAVE PAWS page is just that, a passing mention giving no detail, and there is no other use of MODCOMP IV on Wikipedia.

(I note that CYBER 174 is similarly mis-redirected and ought to redirect to CDC Cyber#Cyber 70 and 170 series where there is useful technical information about that series of computers.)

Why did you undo my redirect and point MODCOMP IV back to PAVE PAWS#Development? Douglas W. Jones (talk) 19:28, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

@Douglas W. Jones: because the target you chose doesn't exist DannyS712 (talk) 19:30, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Ah! Stupid me — Modcomp ≠ MODCOMP — which is to say, case matters. Do you mind if I fix the link again, but this time, using the correct case? MODCOMP does exist. Douglas W. Jones (talk) 23:05, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
@Douglas W. Jones: No objections DannyS712 (talk) 03:04, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I have mobile undo intallled on my commons however recently it has stopped working and I can't work out why. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Your draft article, Draft:Milipaul

Hello, DannyS712. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Milipaul".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 13:57, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Scripts++

You probably saw, but I started the template Wikipedia:Scripts++/New issue to hopefully streamline the process of writing the update and making the wikitext more friendly. I've gotta run, so it's woefully underdocumented and not yet finished, but feel free to keep tweaking and best of luck getting more hands to help out. I'll come back to that (and the most recent gerrit patch!) once I have time later this weekend. Wug·a·po·des 01:38, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

@Wugapodes: yes, please feel free to write it DannyS712 (talk) 01:58, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
@Wugapodes: I took another look - I don't think extra templates are going to help. I'm planning to write a script to make publishing easier, and it'll also reset the draft page DannyS712 (talk) 15:54, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Honestly that's probably the better course. It felt like it was getting awkwardly close to DYK levels of baroque templates. Wug·a·po·des 21:57, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 13

WikiCup 2020 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with a featured article, five good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 895 points.
  • England Gog the Mild came next with 464 points, from a featured article, two good articles and a number of reviews, the main theme being naval warfare.
  • United States Raymie was in third place with 419 points, garnered from one good article and an impressive 34 DYKs on radio and TV stations in the United States.
  • Somerset Harrias came next at 414, with a featured article and three good articles, an English civil war battle specialist.
  • Pirate flag CaptainEek was in fifth place with 405 points, mostly garnered from bringing Cactus wren to featured article status.
  • The top ten contestants at the end of Round 1 all scored over 200 points; they also included United States L293D, Venezuela Kingsif, Antarctica Enwebb, England Lee Vilenski and Nepal CAPTAIN MEDUSA. Seven of the top ten contestants in Round 1 are new to the WikiCup.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

WikiCup newsletter correction

There was an error in the WikiCup 2020 March newsletter; United States L293D should not have been included in the list of top ten scorers in Round 1 (they led the list last year), instead, United States Dunkleosteus77 should have been included, having garnered 334 points from five good articles on animals, living or extinct, and various reviews.

Administrators' newsletter – March 2020

News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2020).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, the blocking policy was changed to state that sysops must not undo or alter CheckUser or Oversight blocks, rather than should not.
  • A request for comment confirmed that sandboxes of established but inactive editors may not be blanked due solely to inactivity.

Technical news

  • Following a discussion, Twinkle's default CSD behavior will soon change, most likely this week. After the change, Twinkle will default to "tagging mode" if there is no CSD tag present, and default to "deletion mode" if there is a CSD tag present. You will be able to always default to "deletion mode" (the current behavior) using your Twinkle preferences.

ANRFC closer

Hi Danny. Is there, or is it possible to easily create, a script, like the edit request answerer or discussion closer, for ANRFC, that would let you quickly tag the threads {{doing}}, {{done}}, {{not done}} (with optional comment and |done=yes)?

AJAXRollback does not work with rollback confirmation (on mobile)

This is the gadget concerned (here), it seems the two tools don't interact properly, a confirmation is shown yes, but the rollback is already performed by then, is it possible to detect if this script is also installed, in which case it will wait for confirmation from MA's script, or alternatively, and this should be easier, include an option similar to MA's tool as a preference. --qedk (t c) 09:22, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Copyvio-check

I couldn't get this script to work: User:DannyS712/copyvio-check. Can you check to see if it works for you? Interstellarity (talk) 12:10, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

@Interstellarity: it still works for me DannyS712 (talk) 15:06, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
When I go to any page, I click the Page info button. I waited 5 minutes to see the percentage. After 5 minutes, it still says Calculating copyvio percentage.... Can you please take a look at my scripts to see if one of them is interfering with the functionality of the script? Interstellarity (talk) 15:32, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
@Interstellarity: Can you go to Peter Orlebar Bishop and see if it calculates? DannyS712 (talk) 15:54, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
I still get the same thing. Interstellarity (talk) 16:01, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
@Interstellarity: I tried a couple times, and sometimes it failed too. Its not on your end (I don't think) DannyS712 (talk) 16:08, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Does the script need fixing or is it something more? Interstellarity (talk) 16:09, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Period?

Having just seen a couple more purely Australian articles with an Edit summary quite meaningless to Australians (and speakers of lots of other versions of English), I thought I'd draw your attention to Wikipedia:Reference desk/Language#Fixing period locations. HiLo48 (talk) 23:04, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

@HiLo48: Thanks for letting me know. Responding there DannyS712 (talk) 23:06, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
Please stop messing with the periods (full stops). It is going to take a troop of cavalry to fix all the damage you have done. Thanks. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:35, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
@BeenAroundAWhile: what damage exactly do you think I have done? DannyS712 (talk) 06:35, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
"In American usage, periods (full stops) and commas go inside the quote marks, not outside," he responded. "That's all." BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:46, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
@BeenAroundAWhile: Sure, but I didn't change the status quo of them already being outside of the quotation marks, so I'm not sure why you think I have caused damage. For articles were this was an issue, I eliminated one of two issues with the period location (was after ref and quote, now just after quote), and for articles where it was not, I eliminated the only issue (was after ref, now not) DannyS712 (talk) 06:52, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Script bug

When I close RMs with the script User:DannyS712/DiscussionCloser, it doesn't add the Template:Archive bottom correctly. I just closed two RMs, diff 1, diff 2. Then, I and another editor fixed the archive bottom templates, diff 1, diff 2. Can you figure out what went wrong and fix it for me please?

Potential bug in Stub bot.js

In the occasional cases where {{Ambox}}'s parameters aren't put in separate lines, it looks like the line in User:DannyS712_test/Stub_bot.js will result in undesired behaviour:

	var new_page = page.replace(/(\|\s*name\s*=).*/i, "$1 {{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}");

Suggest changing it to:

	var new_page = page.replace(/(\|\s*name\s*=)[^|}]*/i, "$1 {{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}");

so that nothing outside the parameter value is touched. Also, I don't think the i flag is needed in the regex since the parameter name name is case-sensitive.

GOCE March newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors March 2020 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2019. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2020, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.

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.

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, Baffle gab1978, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist

Hello DannyS712. You reviewed Franchise Tax Board of California v. Hyatt for GA status; at that time I was inactive and your comments were thus not implemented in the article. As such, you failed the nomination. I appreciate the time you took to review the article and have since implemented your feedback. Now that that feedback has been implemented, do you feel it is GA-worthy? If so, I'll nominate it and you or any other GA reviewer can take a look at it. Best, MrClog (talk) 01:13, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

@MrClog: I'm not going to comment on whether it is "GA-worthy", because I haven't reviewed the changes, but I'd be happy to review a new GA nomination DannyS712 (talk) 01:15, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Hey Danny, I see you run DannyS712 bot on WP:DRN. As you seemingly know a bit about bots, do you have any idea why DRN clerk bot no longer updates the cases' status at Template:DRN case status ("closed", "on hold", etc.)? The bot's owner is inactive, unfortunately. Best, MrClog (talk) 20:48, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

@MrClog: It made an update earlier today - [25] - so I'm not sure what you are referring to. Am I missing something? DannyS712 (talk) 21:01, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
The status stays at "New", while it used to do this. --MrClog (talk) 21:25, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
@MrClog: Oh; I can take a look DannyS712 (talk) 21:31, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Suggestion for new bot task

Hi Danny I regularly use your very useful bot list of orphaned articles with incoming links. It is great to be able to clear down the list of apparent orphans in this way. Recently I’ve had another thought - there are still a lot of articles that don’t have a talk page so are not brought to the attention of WikiProject editors. I think it would be very useful to have a bot identify a list of articles that don’t have a talk page so I could look at them and add relevant WikiProject templates. Would you have any interest in adding this task to your bot? No worries if not as I appreciate it does a huge number of things anyway. All the best Mccapra (talk) 12:52, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

@Mccapra: this was discussed somewhere else at one point, and I opted not to do it due to concerns over possible misguided efforts by new editors, sorry DannyS712 (talk) 15:01, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Ah ok thanks for letting me know. All the best. Mccapra (talk) 15:08, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Historic Hotels of America and duplication

Hi, after working quite a bit at developing new National Registry of the Historic Hotels of America, I finally come across List of Historic Hotels of America which you developed already. Hmm, need to merge, and yours was created first so gets some respect. Mine is organized by state, is nice in some ways, is incomplete in that i haven't gotten through the states. But yours is incomplete, because you only included hotels which have Wikipedia articles, right? I have been creating a bunch of new articles as i go through the states. E.g. Saint Paul Hotel, which must not be on yours. Not sure what best article title is.

Hmm, it woulda been nice if there had been a link from Historic Hotels of America to yours. --Doncram (talk) 22:10, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

@Doncram: I only created that as a list following a CfD - if you want to merge it, go ahead; I'm not invested in it and have no preference regarding title DannyS712 (talk) 22:20, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
