I assume that the GOCE Hall of Fame is an actual physical building, so as a new coordinator I will be helping to typeset your bronze plaque. Is there anything you would like us to be sure to include on it? Tdslk (talk) 01:04, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
LOL. Congratulations on becoming a coordinator, and I'll be around to help and answer questions (not much this weekend, though, since our daughter and her family will be visiting). Have fun and all the best, Miniapolis02:31, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello everyone, and welcome to the July 2016 GOCE newsletter.
June Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 12 through 18 June; the themes were video games and Asian geography. Of the 18 editors who signed up, 11 removed 47 articles from the backlog. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part.
Coordinator elections:
The second tranche of Guild coordinators for 2016, who will serve a six-month term until 23:59 UTC on 31 December, have been elected.
Jonesey95 remains as your drama-free Lead Coordinator, and Corinne and Tdslk are your new assistant coordinators. For her long service to the Guild, Miniapolis has been enrolled in the GOCE Hall of Fame. Thanks to everyone who voted in the election; our next scheduled one occurs in December 2016. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; self-nominations are welcome and encouraged.
July Drive:
Our month-long July Copy Editing Backlog Elimination Drive is now underway. Our aim is to remove articles tagged for copy-edit in April, May and June 2015, and to complete all requests on the GOCE Requests page from June 2016. The drive ends at 23:59 on 31 July 2016 (UTC).
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 and Tdlsk.
Not done yet (been AFK). I'll finish ASAP, ping you and tag the talk page; I know that Blue Moonset is waiting for the copyedit at DYK (which is why it should be done before nomination, but ... ). All the best, Miniapolis20:18, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A fact from Miniapolis/Archives/2016/July appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 July 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the Roma fairy tale "The Creation of the Violin" features a fairy queen who uses the power of music to make people happy or sad?
