(Redirected from User talk:Wi2g)
This is the talk page for Miniapolis (who is proud to be a Wikipedia editor) and is in fond memory of Corinne, one of WP's very best copyeditors. Although I can be reached by email, I prefer keeping discussions on-wiki as much as possible. Due to time constraints, I no longer accept direct copyedit requests; please list articles requiring copyediting for GAN, FAC and the like on the Guild of Copy Editors request page (and consider pitching in with the GOCE, which can always use more help!) Since I take the occasional wikibreak, feel free to undo any administrative action I've taken as you see fit.

GOCE newsletters
[edit]Hi Mini, I plan to recreate Category:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors newsletters so I can group the Guild's newsletter pages together, and to nest it within Category:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors. Because you deleted the newsletter category in 2016, I thought I'd better ask if there's a reason I shouldn't recreate it. I notice the Wikiproject's pages could be better organized. Thanks, Baffle☿gab 02:19, 18 January 2025 (UTC).
- Hi again, Baffle. I don't remember why I deleted the newsletter category; feel free to recreate it. Thanks and all the best, Miniapolis 14:31, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for that; what seems to have happened is one editor created the category and added the early newsletters, which had been (and still are) transcluded to many talk pages, which were added to the nl category. Transcluding seems to have been the nl distribution model in the early years. These cat additions were then reverted and they had the cat page deleted. I'm using noinclude tags to ensure it doesn't happen again (hint; it did till I worked out why). I'm now up to 2018, so it's nearly there. Fun and games. ;-) Cheers, Baffle☿gab 09:44, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Many thanks, Baffle, for doing what I don't know how to do :-). Let me know when there's an RfA in your future. All the best, Miniapolis 18:39, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
