In looking over your contributions I think I owe you a fuller explanation.  I am using a [[WP:HG|tool]] that allows for faster reverting.  I thought you were also using the software or I wouldn't have given you as flippant a response.  My apologies.  If you want to continue vandal-scrubbing, build up a bit more manual edits and a bit more time at the task and I'd be glad to change your user rights so that you would be able to make use of this tool.  Anyway, it's an idea.

: Sounds good. I haven't spent a lot of time (yet) actively seeking vandals- spend more time copy-editing.  I sometimes find vandalism that way: seems like many vandals are bad spellers, too.

== License tagging for File:1893secondcourthouse.jpg ==

Thanks for uploading [[:File:1893secondcourthouse.jpg]].  You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image.  Wikipedia uses a set of [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image copyright tags]] to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/All|this list]], click on [[:File:1893secondcourthouse.jpg|this link]], then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description.  If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

== Brevard County ==

Thanks for the heads up. Much improved.

You do realize, don't you, that the article was too long to start with? Will need to be forked to a new article and summarized in the main article, once it stabilizes. We will probably be the first county article to have it's own history!!! Incredible!

I best discuss the remainder of items on the article discussion page, for permanence and visibility. [[User:Student7|Student7]] ([[User talk:Student7|talk]]) 03:02, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the very thoughtful heads-up.  My main interest in this article was cleaning up the Film and TV section. It looks like you have added a lot of great content; great work!

== Patrolling ==

I see from your userpage that you find it frustrating trying to revert vandalism because others have tools you don't. Have you ever seen [[Special:Contributions/newbies]]? It's a good place to find vandalism by noobs, and has a lot less traffic. [[Special:Contributions/69.181.249.92|69.181.249.92]] ([[User talk:69.181.249.92|talk]]) 09:44, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
: Thanks for the help. I vaguely knew there was a changes for newbies page, but didn't know where to find it. I think somehow you misunderstood my feelings towards vandalism fighting though. If I stop vandalism fighting because others are regularly "beating me" in reverting vandals, it's not because I'm frustrated; it's because I assume the vandal fighter to vandal ratio is high so I go "where I am needed" more. I do think it's a good thing when lots of people are fighting vandals- it means I can go back to encyclopedia building instead of vandal fighting. If needed though, I do have twinkle...

....for the Editor Review. I had no intention of running for admin until at least next March as I have my [[Bar Mitzva]] coming up in February. At the beginning when I did that RfA I was just overly excited. It was extremely stupid and in the long run hasn't helped me in any way. With the edits to mainspace, I think I'll do that. It'll take me a while to get 1000 mainspace if I'm only on weekends I think. I've contributed a little to GoCE and think I'll continue that.

: <strike> Okay</strike>. How are they engaging in "trivial" vandalism? They made two edits: The first was referenced with a citation from ''Florida Today'' (don't know why you reverted it- it was spot on). The second listed [[Tim Wakefield]] as being from Satellite Beach (which sounds like perhaps original research- maybe he '''did''' live there), but even if he was from Melbourne, it's still not blatant vandalism, IMHO.

::I missed the referenced item. He has edited in Wakefield before and ignored my complaints. As far as anyone knows, or has researched, Wakefield lived in Melbourne and attended school in Eau Gallie (for sure EG) NOT Satellite Beach. It's just routine vandalism. We get thousands of these a year in the sites I watch. Attributing a wrong city to a sports or musical figure.

::I am seeing '''no''' references to Wakefield or anyone else. He is linked, of course. He has his own bio which says "Melbourne." If this changes, he will definitely need a cite. But it's vandalism.

He was born in Bartow, pretty much lived his entire childhood and adolescence in Mulberry, and went to high school in Lakeland (Kathleen High School). I '''know''' all these things for a '''fact''' because I grew up at the same time he did in Polk County. If I were to add Ray Lewis to the [[Mulberry, Florida|Mulberry]] article as a famous native, that would be original research, not vandalism. I've not been able to find a source online to back what I know up, so this is original research. If I were to add it anyway(hypothetically) some could come to the conclusion tht it was vandalism, but IMO the bar for vandalism is a lot higher than that. [[User:VictorianMutant|VictorianMutant]] ([[User talk:VictorianMutant#top|talk]]) 01:51, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

::::I agree on what you are saying. It was not vandalism, but original research when it was first added, but it was the second, etc. without any ref or response to previous editors. This happens all the time with local athletes (and one comedian). Kids in every town try to claim him. The first time I can overlook. Subsequent times are clearly for annoyance purposes.

Hi VictorianMutant.  Yes, I would gladly help you if I can (although I must say I am not the best around to do so, but I would do the best I can).

I am so out of my depth here I really cannot explain. However, many thanks for the message you left me on my talk page. I'm not even sure though if that is the correct talk page for the published version of the article (Council of Irish Genealogical Organisations)! (ALICEWIKI)

How does my article get reviewed so that the box at the top of the page gets removed?

I'm stressed just trying to deal with this. I don't have great IT skills and Wikipedia is generously letting me demonstrate how weak they are!

== Highland City - List of First Councilmen ==

I'd like to know more about why you removed my list of the first (and only) councilmen for Highland City (when it was incorporated)? The city was only incorporated for a year or so. I understand that a list of current councilmen might not be encyclopedic, but the very first and only members seem to be an important set of individuals in the history of the (one time) town. Is there a standard of which I am unaware that proscribes such a list, or is this your interpretation? -[[User:FloridaIsMyCountry|FloridaIsMyCountry]] ([[User talk:FloridaIsMyCountry|talk]]) 22:15, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
: I have rolled-back my edit of [[Highland City, Florida|Highland City]]. Looking through the edit history of the article, your edits to Highland City did vastly improve the article, so although I think the table of town officers in 1925 is a little "overkill"... in retrospect, I don't think the table does any harms. Personally. I think if Highland City were incorporated today, then a list of current city officers would be encyclopedic(not in the history section, but in a government section, of course). If it were an article I was actively working on, I would have simply listed the mayor, perhaps the councilmen as well, but used prose rather than a table. As for a standard, I think the table falls under a few of the areas of [[WP:NOT]], but that is open to interpretation. <font face="Verdana">[[User:VictorianMutant|Victorian<font color="#008000">Mutant</font>]] ([[User talk:VictorianMutant|talk]])</font> 01:52, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:: Follow up: I have thought about expanding the Highland City article at some point. Since you seem to be one of the few editors who've contributed positively to the article, I value your feedback and definitely don't want to step on any toes because you are a valued member of the community. I would like to get it up to at least "B" maybe even "GA" status. Don't know how feasible that would be (although [[Stephens City, Virginia]], a town smaller than Highland City made it all the way to featured article), but the article has a lot of potential. I have more thoughts on how to expand it- if you want to help, let me know.

We have reached the midway point in our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2010|backlog elimination drive]], so here is an update.

'''Participation report''' — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2010|not too late to join]]!'''

'''Progress report''' — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests|Requests page]] clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive.

Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{tp|cleanup}}, {{tp|wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

Firstly, please let me say thank you for taking the time to review me and for your kind words. I will definitely take your advice on board! I just had a question; if you knew that the [[Ivan Samylovsky]] had been created by an OTRS emailer rather than myself, would that have swayed your review?

: No need to apologize, I'm here to help! I did forget to mention your contributions at OTRS which is a big help. I think someone else e-mailing it would have swayed my opinion just a bit, but I think the review is applicable. I often tell people to find one article, make it their own, and take it as far as you can go with it, and doing that would make you a pretty sure bet at Rfa. I've seen you at Rfa pretty frequently so I know you know about the common "'''Oppose''' due to lack of content creation".

Hi Victorian mutant, I noticed your 10,000 edit comment at Panyd's editor review.

Those days are gone, and there doesn't seem to be a maximum, the de facto minima nowadays is probably between 3000 and 4000 on EN wiki, though I gather it is 10,000 on DE wiki. If 10,000 is your personal criteria you are of course free to be more picky than almost everyone else, but please be careful not to give people the wrong impression at RFA as people have waltzed through this year with far less than 10,000, [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jujutacular|this one was unanimous at 8,200]].  ''[[User:WereSpielChequers|<span style="color:DarkGreen">Ϣere</span>]][[User talk:WereSpielChequers|<span style="color:DarkRed">Spiel</span>]]<span style="color:DarkOrange">Chequers</span>'' 15:59, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
: Thanks for your concern... if you look at what I look for in Rfa candidates [[User:VictorianMutant/RfA|here]], you will see I don't really list a minimum number, because I look for someone who has shown trustworthiness and that can happen in 3,000 edits or less. I do have a personal standard for myself (I wouldn't think of accepting an Rfa with less than 10,000 edits). I haven't '''opposed''' anyone for not having a certain amount of total edits, although I have opposed for not having enough content-related edits. Sure, there have been recent Rfa's in which the editor had less than 10,000 edits ([[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Leyo|here]] and [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elen of the Roads|here]] for example), but those tend to be the exception rather than the rule. Go through the history of recent Rfa's and you will see plenty of editors who weren't ready for an Rfa (some with far greater than 10,000 edits).
: You talk about 'being "careful" not to give people the wrong impression at RFA', but I've never brought up edit count at Rfa. I do occasionally bring it up at editor review which I see as almost a "heart to heart" chat from one editor to another. More often than not, I will tell editors to wait before seeking an Rfa... sometimes (such as [[Wikipedia:Editor review/Slon02|here]]) I'll express that in terms of time, other times- I tell them that in terms of number of edits. And I think the cautious, prudent advice when giving an editor review is telling editors to be patient and concentrate on their weaknesses before seeking another Rfa. At editor review, I see a ''lot'' of good editors who get "antsy" about being nominated at Rfa. Many editors overestimate their chances at Rfa, and to not tell an editor who says they seek an Rfa soon that their chances at Rfa might '''not''' be that great is a tragedy (see [[Wikipedia:Editor review/The Utahraptor|here]] and [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/The Utahraptor 2|here]]). I hate seeing productive editors going through a nasty, failed Rfa because they aren't ready and I think it's better to err on the side of caution by telling them to wait (for Rfa) at an editor review than to encourage them to "do it now!" I think I try to keep the reviews positive... I've even been accused of being [[User_talk:VictorianMutant/Archive_4#For_your_work_at_Editor_review|too nice]] at editor review. But I don't focus on edit counts at editor review... it's mostly mentioned in passing. If you were to accuse me of telling them to focus on building content... well, that I'm definitely guilty of. :) <font face="Verdana">[[User:VictorianMutant|Victorian<font color="#008000">Mutant</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:VictorianMutant|Talk]])</sup></font> 20:08, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
::Hi it was your comment "[[Wikipedia:Editor review/Panyd|Try to get up to 10,000 edits because that seems to be where the "minimum" for Rfa seems to be now]]" that prompted my comment.

:::Perhaps it was a bad choice of words, but I do err on the side of caution when giving Rfa advice at editor review. The advice I give at editor review and the way I vote at Rfa are two different things. Are there those out there who would '''oppose''' someone simply because they have less than 10,000 edits? Probably... but I'm not one of them. I actually think most of your [[User:WereSpielChequers/RFA criteria|Rfa criteria]] is spot on and think Rfa's have become way too incivil at times (especially the ones on the "bubble") which is why I tend to tell candidates to wait. <font face="Verdana">[[User:VictorianMutant|Victorian<font color="#008000">Mutant</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:VictorianMutant|Talk]])</sup></font> 20:15, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
== GOCE Drive – Final push ==

Greetings '''[[WP:GOCE|GOCE]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2010|Backlog elimination drive]]''' participant, We are now coming up to the last few days of the drive, the last for 2010. Currently, it looks like we will achieve our target for reducing the backlog by 10%, however, we still have huge numbers for 2009. We have 55 participants in this drive. If everyone just clears 2 articles each, we will reduce the backlog by a further 110 articles. If everyone can just do 3 articles, we will hit 165. If you have yet to work on any articles and have rollover words, remember that you do need to copyedit at least a couple of articles in this drive for your previous rollover to be valid for the next drive. There are many very small articles that will take less than 5-10 minutes to copyedit. Use [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Backlog_elimination_drives#Finding_articles|CatScan]] to find them. Let's all concentrate our firepower on the first three months of 2009 as we approach the end of this final drive for the year. Thank you once again for participating, and see you at the finish line! – '''[[User:SMasters|SMasters]]''' ([[User talk:SMasters#top|talk]]) 04:02, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello there. I've noticed you are a frequent user of my software tool, [[WP:STiki|STiki]]. First, I wanted to thank you for your use of my tool. Second, I wanted to inform you that a new version just became available (see [[Wikipedia_talk:STiki#STiki_Release_--_Nov._28_2010 | this post on STiki's talk page]] for a brief summary of changes). I encourage you to download it! Further, keep your bug reports and feature requests flowing in. STiki has now reverted over 25,000 instances of vandalism, and I hope together we can help this number continue to grow.

We have reached the end of our fourth backlog elimination drive. Thanks to all who participated.

<big>'''Stats'''</big>

[[File:GOCE Nov 2010 drive.gif|thumb|right|GOCE November 2010 backlog elimination drive graphs]]
*58 people signed up for this drive. Of these, 48 people participated in the drive.
*Although we did not eliminate the months we planned to (January, February, and March 2009; and  August, September, and October 2010), we did reduce the backlog by 627 articles (11.2%), which was over our goal of 10%.
*49 awards will go out to 33 of 48 participants. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2010/Barnstars|Check out the complete list of barnstar winners here.]]

<big>'''Barnstars'''</big>

If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the September 2010 backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives#Roll-over words|here]]). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering these barnstars within the next couple of weeks.

Our next drive is scheduled for January 2011. In the meantime, please consider helping out at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify/Drives/2010/December|the Wikification drive]] or any of the other places where [[Wikipedia:Contribution Team/Backlogs|help with backlogs is needed]].

Thank you for participating in the last 2010 backlog elimination drive! We look forward to seeing you in January!

[[File:GOCE Jan 2011 drive.gif|thumb|right|200px|GOCE January 2011 backlog elimination drive progress graphs]]
So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2011#Participants|sign up now]]'''. <br/>

;Progress report

We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal. 

Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success!

I've been on Wikipedia for almost 2 years now (next month on the 20th) and I'm a trusted member of the community known not to make nonconstructive edits. If you were reverting my edits using a software that automatically gave me a message, then that's all right, but warning me otherwise was not necessary. I was reverting apparent nonconstructive editing myself when I made that contribution, and I can safely say that every edit I make is ''sworn on the Holy Bible'' to be constructive. Please explain why you warned me if it was manual.

The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goal for the drive will be to eliminate the remaining 2010 articles from the queue. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there!  – Your drive coordinators: [[User:Dank|Dank]], [[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]], [[User:Stfg|Stfg]], and Coordinator emeritus [[User:SMasters|SMasters]]. 19:57, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Greetings from the [[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012|March 2012 Backlog elimination drive]]! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter.<br/>

'''Participation'''

Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to '''[[User:Lfstevens|Lfstevens]]''', who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months.

'''Progress report'''

During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012/Barnstars|here]].

When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{tp|GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators.

Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.
