GOCE September 2012 drive wrap-up
Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up
Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September. Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

Report of the Secretary-General's Panel of Experts on Accountability in Sri Lanka
I have comment to your post on Report of the Secretary-General's Panel of Experts on Accountability in Sri Lanka. Can you please show How some one can write Pentagon should accept Obama's requests over Rachiels requests in a wiki page ? --Himesh84 (talk) 12:08, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
- I posted a comment on this issue on the article's talk page (see here). — Richwales 17:16, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
would you mind if I nominated United States v. Wong Kim Ark for the main page?
Hi,
I'm new at this, but I think it's a fine article and would like to nominated it for the main page. What do you think?
Best wishes, MathewTownsend (talk) 18:22, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the compliment. :-) In principle, I'd love to see Wong Kim Ark make WP:TFA someday. I'm not really familiar with the process (either?), but as I look at the scoring criteria at WP:TFAR, it seems this article would probably get about 2 (maybe 3) points on the scale. If I (the primary contributor to the article) were to make the request, I think that could give it one additional point. Would you like me to be the one to nominate it, in order to give it the extra point? — Richwales 18:50, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
- great! Below I've copied a sample nomination that you can use if you want. I think Wong Kin Ark makes a nice variation from the usual main page, plus citizenship is an issue in the upcoming US election. Plus the US Supreme Court is currently in session! MathewTownsend (talk) 19:13, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that virtually everyone born in the United States is a U.S. citizen. This decision established an important precedent in its interpretation of the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Wong Kim Ark, who was born in the United States to Chinese parents around 1871, had been denied re-entry to the U.S. after a trip abroad, under a law restricting Chinese immigration that prohibited immigrants from China from becoming naturalized U.S. citizens. He challenged the government's refusal to recognize his citizenship, and the Supreme Court ruled in his favor, holding that the citizenship language in the Fourteenth Amendment encompassed essentially everyone born in the U.S.—even the U.S.-born children of foreigners ... more
- Thanks. I'll take a closer look at this when I get home from work tonight. One thing that occurred to me right away was that instead of the SCOTUS seal, a photo of Wong Kim Ark himself might be more appropriate. — Richwales 19:21, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
