I think...

that you are entitled to be cross. Right and wrong stopped being important in this some time ago. What I hope you and he have now done is to leave that escalating discussion behind. With good fortune lessons have been learned. Fiddle Faddle 19:12, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Don't worry Tim, your words aren't lost on me. I hear you. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 19:18, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

I've left a comment on WT:MED about the image. I am actually not entirely sure what it represents. On that basis I thought that to be worth raising. Fiddle Faddle 19:27, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Clarifications requested

Hi Tyler, You recently edited the page for lipedema. Thank you for taking the time to review it. I have a few questions on your edits. Would you please point me toward a research section that is something I can model? Your comment was to the effect "this is not how we do research sections." However, all of the research is just barely getting started so I'm at a bit of a loss to figure out do implement this section to your liking. I have very little free time to work on this, and I'll have more questions as I go, so thank you in advance for your patience! Fdrs2014 (talk) 16:38, 23 February 2016 (UTC)Fdrs2014

Guild of Copy Editors December 2016 News

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! >>> Sign up for the December Blitz! <<< Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: Nominations are open for election 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 remove July 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 was Requests, 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 located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. November Drive: The November drive was a record-breaker! We set out to remove September 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 from over 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, add the 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 and Tdslk. >>> Sign up for the December Blitz! <<<

Oops

I just noticed the FAC for Acne vulgaris got archived. Sorry I hadn't had a chance to reread it yet after your latest changes. I thought it was well on the way, but I guess it's hard to get enough reviewers for medical articles. If you renominate it give me a ping, nitpicks aside it's an excellent article on an important topic. Opabinia regalis (talk) 08:49, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

That's all right. I'll be renominating it in January and I'll let you know when I do. I found it very frustrating that it was archived since things were moving forward but I think the second time around it needs to be unequivocally clear that there is support for the actual FA nomination. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 03:36, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Acne vulgaris FAC

Hey there. I'm sorry that I never got around to finishing my review at the 1st FAC. If you plan to reopen a 2nd FAC after the mandatory 2 week waiting period for renomination ends on January 2nd, I should have sufficient time available during the following week to finish my review of the article's MOS compliance. I intend to support the nomination once I'm done with that. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 21:51, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Also, merry christmas. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 21:52, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, Seppi. I plan to renominate the article in January. Happy holidays to you as well! TylerDurden8823 (talk) 03:37, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Nice job

Great work on the Benign prostatic hyperplasia article. Your work is highly appreciated. Best Regards,

Barbara (WVS) (talk) 20:23, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, Barbara. I'm still working on the article but I appreciate the compliment :) TylerDurden8823 (talk) 18:41, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Paywall

Hello TD - your query as to recent adding of paywall template - am only following previous examples seen. Seems helpful, relevant, as often the ref given just gives an article abstract and does not include the material referred to - one it saves pointlessly trying to find the info and two it points out that the ref may not actually contain the info given. Also it might spur the addition of an easily referred to reference. If this is a wrong use of the template - when else is it used? --Iztwoz (talk) 08:14, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

I presume you are talking about the one added to the first sentence on Acne vulgaris - the ref given is an abstract and sub needed to view full article and the abstract purely refers to treatment and nothing at all about defining the condition. Best --Iztwoz (talk) 08:20, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
