Hi Torchiest, I saw your helpful edits just now and I was wondering if you would be interested in working on a larger-scale trim. This idea comes from a talk page proposalhere that I have been meaning to attend to, but that I realize I'm kind of being apathetic about. No worries if you're too busy or otherwise uninterested. I of all people would understand that. But I thought I'd bring it up on the off-chance that you were looking for a bit of a project. -Thibbs (talk)15:47, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, couldn't resist passing this on -- saw your recent edit to Zoe Quinn, which summary ended with "cats are subcats of the genderless ones." At first I thought you were making some very obscure, Lovecraftian statement about our feline friends. It took me WAY too long to parse your statement.— Precedingunsigned comment added byDumuzid (talk •contribs)03:07, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop removing articles from the parent categories ofnon-diffusing categories such asCategory:Women video game developers. They are non-diffusing for a very specific reason: to prevent the ghettoization of women in these industries as "not real video game developers" because they're not seen when you look at the main category. —David Eppstein (talk)03:11, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There is a talk page section on the categories if you'd like to discuss it. If we're going to remove one of the categories, then it should be developer not the more specific programmer. —Strongjam (talk)15:57, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I was hoping not to have to ask you, but I can't make it work for the July drive. I haven't heard from Jonesey95 and will ping Baffle gab1978, but in case no one has gotten to it (I banged my head against it all afternoon, but there are probably things I don't know) would you please run it?

I got stuck on the same line (no parens), but I was able to make the script work once I found that problem. I made the following change to the script to automate the month name in the table header. Use it if you want:
objOutput.WriteLine "!Old rollover total <br>(DO NOT USE FOR {{subst:#switch:{{subst:#expr:{{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}+1}} |1=JANUARY|2=FEBRUARY|3=MARCH|4=APRIL|5=MAY|6=JUNE|7=JULY|8=AUGUST|9=SEPTEMBER|10=OCTOBER|11=NOVEMBER|12=DECEMBER}})"objOutput.WriteLine "!Grand total"objOutput.WriteLine "!New rollover total <br>(USE THIS NUMBER FOR {{subst:#switch:{{subst:#expr:{{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}+1}} |1=JANUARY|2=FEBRUARY|3=MARCH|4=APRIL|5=MAY|6=JUNE|7=JULY|8=AUGUST|9=SEPTEMBER|10=OCTOBER|11=NOVEMBER|12=DECEMBER}})"Thanks for the script!

Hey, about the content you re-added. I initially deleted that because I wasn't sure it was even about the game, since the prose that the ref supports makes no mention of Maniac Mansion. Had no idea who added it and figured it was just random cruft (there has beenso much of that in this article so far), so I just went ahead and cut it. I'm totally okay with its being in the article—my only concern is that the book doesn't talk about MM when it defends verb-guessing. If it doesn't, I don't think it can be included, since that goes againstWP:REL and (potentially)WP:UNDUE. Since you're apparently the one who added it, could you confirm that MM is discussed by the authors during that passage?JimmyBlackwing (talk)00:21, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Torchiest! Just to remind you the Years in space templates can be used on pages that are already in the year in space category. If it worked as you think it would then the templates would be useless don't you think? Also multiple pages using the template are also included in those categories which exceeds 100 pages if you wish to remove them all.Davidbuddy9 (talk)21:43, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
this is ridiculous. my every contribution is essentially being deleted and/or stolen via self refuting catch 22's. "needs better cites" okay, fine, i provide highly credible citations by experts many of whom are licenced representatives. not good enough, then they use that as some kind of excuse to say it's not even exactly dnd then. okay well if it isn't exactly dnd then why is it also not applicable to place it in the gary inspired mmorpg games? and why are you ignoring the whole point of showing the level of inspiration as an argument about "how great it is bluster bluster" rather than exactly as i said QUALIFYING INSPIRATION! wtf! if ddo doesn't fit as a dnd reference then it cant then not fit for a non dnd reference. editing it out is total bs. wiki really digs contributions.... i have no reason at all to believe it would be any different on any other page nit that i'm very motivated at this point to contribute anything anymore, ever.JeffryBloom (talk)04:39, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! So, knowing that you were the one that passed my hook, I would like you to support me in the discussion on it being removed.

| Guild of Copy Editors December 2016 News Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2016 GOCE newsletter. We had an October newsletter all set to go, but it looks like we never pushed the button to deliver it, so this one contains a few months of updates. We have been busy and successful! Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: Nominations are open forelection of Coordinators for the first half of 2017. Please visit the election page to nominate yourself or another editor, and then return after December 15 to vote. Thanks for participating! September Drive: The September drive was fruitful. We set out to removeJuly through October 2015 from our backlog (an ambitious 269 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of oldest articles to just 83. We reduced our overall backlog by 97 articles, even with new copyedit tags being added to articles every day. We also handled 75% of the remaining Requests from August 2016. Overall, 19 editors recorded copy edits to 233 articles (over 378,000 words). October Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme wasRequests, since the backlog was getting a bit long. Of the 16 editors who signed up, 10 editors completed 29 requests. Barnstars and rollover totals are locatedhere. Thanks to all editors who took part. November Drive: The November drive was arecord-breaker! We set out to removeSeptember through December 2015 from our backlog (239 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of old articles to just 66, eliminating the two oldest months!We reduced our overall backlog by 523 articles, to a new record low of 1,414 articles, even with new tags being added to articles every day, which means we removed copy-editing tags fromover 800 articles. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from October 2016. Officially, 14 editors recorded copy edits to 200 articles (over 312,000 words), but over 600 articles, usually quick fixes and short articles, were not recorded on the drive page. Housekeeping note: we do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, addthe GOCE's message box to your Watchlist. 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,Corinne andTdslk. |

| Guild of Copy Editors February 2017 News Hello everyone, and welcome to the February 2017 GOCE newsletter. The Guild has been busy since the last time your coordinators sent out a newsletter! December blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 December; the themes wereRequests and eliminating the November 2015 backlog. Of the 14 editors who signed up, nine editors completed 29 articles. Barnstars and rollover totals are locatedhere. Thanks to all who took part. January drive: The January drive was a great success. We set out to removeDecember 2015 and January and February 2016 from our backlog (195 articles), and by 22 January we had cleared those and had to add a third month (March 2016). At the end of the month we had almost cleared out that last month as well, for a total of 180 old articles removed from the backlog!We reduced our overall backlog by 337 articles, to a low of 1,465 articles, our second-lowest month-end total ever. We also handled all of the remaining requests from December 2016. Officially, 19 editors recorded 337 copy edits (over 679,000 words). February blitz: The one-week February blitz, focusing on the remainingMarch 2016 backlog andJanuary 2017 requests, ran from 12 to 18 February. Seven editors reduced the total in those two backlog segments from 32 to 10 articles, leaving us in good shape going in to the March drive. Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: In December,coordinators for the first half of 2017 were elected. Jonesey95 stepped aside as lead coordinator, remaining as coordinator and allowing Miniapolis to be the lead, and Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators. Thanks to all who participated! Speaking of coordinators,congratulations toJonesey95 on their well-deservedinduction into theGuild of Copy Editors Hall of Fame. The plaque reads: "For dedicated service as lead coordinator (2014, 1 July – 31 December 2015 and all of 2016) and coordinator (1 January – 30 June 2015 and 1 January – 30 June 2017); exceptional template-creation work (considerably streamlining project administration), and their emphasis on keeping the GOCE a drama-free zone."

| Guild of Copy Editors December 2017 News Hello copy editors! Welcome to the December 2017 GOCE newsletter, which contains nine months(!) of updates. The Guild has been busy and successful; your diligent efforts in 2017 has brought the backlog of articles requiring copy edit tobelow 1,000 articles for the first time. Thanks to all editors who have contributed their time and energy to help make this happen. Our copy-editing drives (month-long backlog-reduction drives held in odd-numbered months) and blitzes (week-long themed editing in even-numbered months) have been very successful this year. March drive: We set out to removeApril, May, and June 2016 from our backlog and allFebruary 2017Requests (a total of 304 articles). By the end of the month, all but 22 of these articles were cleared. Officially, of the 28 who signed up, 22 editors recorded 257 copy edits (439,952 words). (These numbers do not always make sense when you compare them to the overall reduction in the backlog, because not all editors record every copy edit on the drive page.) April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 April; the theme wasRequests. Of the 15 who signed up, 9 editors completed 43 articles (81,822 words). May drive: The goals were to removeJuly, August, and September 2016 from the backlog and to complete allMarch 2017 Requests (a total of 300 articles). By the end of the month,we had reduced our overall backlog to an all-time low of 1,388 articles. Of the 28 who signed up, 17 editors completed 187 articles (321,810 words). June blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 18 through 24 June; the theme wasRequests. Of the 16 who signed up, 9 editors completed 28 copy edits (117,089 words). 2017 Coordinator elections: In June,coordinators for the second half of 2017 were elected. Jonesey95 moved back into the lead coordinator position, with Miniapolis stepping down to remain as coordinator; Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators, and Keira1996 rejoined after an extended absence. Thanks to all who participated! July drive: We set out to removeAugust, September, October, and November 2016 from the backlog and to complete allMay and June 2017 Requests (a total of 242 articles). The drive was an enormous success, and the target was nearly achieved within three weeks, so thatDecember 2016 was added to the "old articles" list used as a goal for the drive. By the end of the month, onlythree articles from 2016 remained, and for the second drive in a row, the backlog was reduced to a new all-time low, this time to1,363 articles. Of the 33 who signed up, 21 editors completed 337 articles (556,482 words). August blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 20 through 26 August; the theme wasbiographical articles tagged for copy editing for more than six months (47 articles). Of the 13 who signed up, 11 editors completed 38 copy edits (42,589 words). September drive: The goals were to removeJanuary, February, and March 2017 from the backlog and to complete allAugust 2017 Requests (a total of 338 articles). Of the 19 who signed up, 14 editors completed 121 copy edits (267,227 words). October blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 22 through 28 October; the theme wasRequests. Of the 14 who signed up, 8 editors completed 20 articles (55,642 words). November drive: We set out again to removeJanuary, February, and March 2017 from the backlog and to complete allOctober 2017 Requests (a total of 207 articles). By the end of the month, these goals were reached andthe backlog shrank to its lowest total ever, 997 articles, the first time it had fallen under one thousand (click on the graph above to see this amazing feat in graphical form). It was also the first time that the oldest copy-edit tag was less than eight months old. Of the 25 who signed up, 16 editors completed 159 articles (285,929 words). 2018 Coordinator elections: Voting is open for theelection of coordinators for the first half of 2018. Please visit the election page to vote between now and December 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Thanks for participating! Housekeeping note: We do not send a newsletter before (or after) every drive or blitz.

Hi Torchiest, I wanted to compliment you on the really great job you're doing at the WikiProject. I had a question about the Quality Content, isthis report by month produced by a bot/script, or made manually? Thanks –Lionel(talk)03:25, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Torchiest. I saw the great work you've done on KMFDM, KMFDM-related articles, andMythmaker. Recently, I rewrote the articles forVIVIsectVI,Last Rights, andWeapon. I've never gone through the 'good article' process, so I was wondering if you would want to do the review for one of those albums. Thanks either way!CelestialWeevil (talk)00:32, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

| Guild of Copy Editors June 2018 News Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since theFebruary edition. Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7 months and reached a new all-time low.Requests continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5 days). Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20 days, and the longest wait time was 29 days. Wikipedia in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March ofCorinne. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed. March drive: The goal was to removeJune, July and August 2017 from our backlog and allFebruary 2018 Requests (a total of 219 articles). This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared. Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758 words). April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21 April, focusing onRequests and the last eight articles tagged inAugust 2017. At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17 days. Of the nine editors who signed up, eight editors completed 22 copy edits (62,412 words). May drive: We set out to removeSeptember, October and November 2017 from our backlog and allApril 2018Requests (a total of 298 articles). There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to arecord low of 716 articles. Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15 editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813 words). Coordinator elections: It's election time again.Nominations for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged.Voting will take place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. June blitz: Stay tuned for this one-week copy-editing blitz, which will take place in mid-June. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Hi again, Torchiest. What happened toWikiproject Industrial? It seems inactive. Was it always like that, or has it fallen off? I've a great interest in promoting as many articles as I can under the project's umbrella, but things feel kind of dead. I've rewrittenStreetcleaner,Godflesh,Last Rights,VIVIsectVI, and some others with minimal interaction with editors who seemed to be frequent in the past. Any idea what happened, and any idea how I can help?CelestialWeevil(talk)01:12, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, Joe. I don't know if you've seenWT:GOCE/COORD#Barnstar script (again), but I got in over my head and figured the best thing would be to re-download your original script. However, when I renamed it on my computer it's still recognized as a .txt file (not .vbs, its new extension). Do you have any idea why? (My better half is out this evening: I'll ask him when he gets home if you don't see this before). Edit mode has been wonky here, so I dunno what's going on. Thanks for your patience and all the best,Miniapolis22:56, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We will thenassess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent.

I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas, because that is what I celebrate. If you don't like Christmas or just don't celebrate it in any of its forms, then please accept a generic "Happy Holidays". If you celebrate no holidays at this time of year, then hopefully you will be satisfied with an even more generic "Season's Greetings". :)BOZ (talk)21:51, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
