Unintended block

Can you please revisit User talk:Capsot. They appear to be an unintended casualty of a range-block, or some such. Thanks. RashersTierney (talk) 13:07, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

 Done sorry I was expecting another {{unblock}} and that someone would pick it up. Unfortunate that this got lost. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 04:03, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for sorting it out. RashersTierney (talk) 10:02, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Well don't worry much, everything is fine now and better late than never. I wish you a wonderful Christmas season and a Happy New Year. Sincerely, Claudi/Capsot (talk) 18:36, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

GOCE December 2013 Blitz wrap-up and January Drive invitation

December Notes from the Guild of Copy Editors The December blitz ran from December 8–14. The theme for this blitz was articles tied in some way to religion. Seven editors knocked out 20 articles over the course of the week. Our next blitz will be in February, with a theme to be determined. Feel free to make theme suggestions at the Guild talk page! The January 2014 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in October and November 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2013. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in October and November 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! Coordinator election: Voting is open for candidates to serve as GOCE coordinators from 1 January through 30 June 2014. Voting will run until the end of December. For complete information, please have a look at the election page. – Your drive coordinators: Torchiest, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95 and The Utahraptor To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Just asking

How did someone do that Wikipedia advertisement? I was one of the editors who commented....William 18:21, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

It was just that someone edited a template that was transcluded on the page. A number of templates were modified but as far as I can see they have all been reverted now, and I created a filter to (hopefully) prevent any more from being modified in that way. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 18:22, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation. Cheers!

Template:Single+space

Should this be set to template users rather than completely blocked?Naraht (talk) 17:08, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't particularly care, but I don't see this template being edited any time soon, and so I just went with full protection. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 17:27, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, the history is essentially the initial creation and two vandalization/fix sequences. So probably OK, thanx.Naraht (talk) 18:07, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
