Archiving error?
Hi Miniapolis, I wondered if this edit to the GOCE archive page is a mistake; I can't see any evidence of BaldBoris having requested the copy-edit, although he's worked on the article. You've also added two dates in the request date column—is that intentional? Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 04:28, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, Baffle, and thanks for minding the store. Yes, Tom Simpson was requested twice; Boris put it on the list August 5 (he's nominated it for GA) and Aichik on the 23rd with a reference to "another editor" with whom he was working (which I figured was Boris), hence the two dates. This was a first (and, I hope, a last :-)) for me; guess Boris and Aichik got their wires crossed. I discovered the double listing when I was scratching my head trying to figure out why someone might take my Working tag off the request (although I grabbed it myself, as a pretty-inactive WikiProject Cycling member). All the best,  Mini  apolis  13:36, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, Miniapolis, long time no speak, hi Baffle. My request was for a copy edit on Colin Farrell, not Tom Simpson, and the other editor I'm working with in getting it to GA is Cirt. thanks--Aichik (talk) 01:03, 1 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi, Aichik. I archived Tom Simpson once and blanked it twice; you and BaldBoris had both requested it about two weeks apart. All the best,  Mini  apolis  01:28, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah I see; I think you handled that well. I hadn't even noticed there was a double listing, so I was probably asleep when minding the store! The archive might need a little adjustment to see how it affects the sortable table (most likely I'll put '&' between dates and requesters), so I'll have a play and see what happens. Thanks for explaining this odd situation; it's appreciated. ;-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 21:13, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't have noticed it either if I didn't wonder if I had (yet another) senior moment and only thought I added the Working tag :-). Sorry to put you out; please do whatever's necessary to make the table sort properly (since Boris listed it first and has submitted the GAN, he should probably get the credit if there's only room for one). Have fun and all the best,  Mini  apolis  21:25, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I did indeed have fun. The double dates did upset the table sorting, so I placed the second date after Aichik's name and it's fine now. I also found and fixed some dubious-looking early-2012 dates in the 'request date' column which should've been 2013... D'oh! :-D Thanks again; Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 03:04, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that; next time I'm archiving something, I'll take a look at how you fixed it and hopefully we won't have that problem again. Hope none of those bad request dates were mine; I have trouble dating checks when the year flips :-). All the best,  Mini  apolis  13:50, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks; no they weren't your entries so no worries. I entered some dodgy dates too (inc. 3013!), but it's all fixed now. :-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 21:09, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Holding the fort
Just a little something to say thank you for holding the fort at the Request page whilst I've been away tackling the monster Peninsular War; it's very much appreciated especially considering your mop duties. :-)
 * You were very brave to take on that bear of an article, especially since it looked a bit like a content dispute masquerading as a copyedit request :-). When I joined the GOCE a couple of years ago, the requests backlog was six to eight weeks; now, as we know, it's three months-plus and I'd like to knock that down a bit. Hope your copyedit is going well. Have fun and all the best,  Mini  apolis  13:45, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks; well it seems to have been a case of someone thinking 'more is better', copying a source verbatim and causing a copyvio problem but I couldn't prove it. I didn't see any evidence of a content dispute in the history but who knows what went on? You're doing a splendid job of reducing the backlog, hopefully the requests will slow down when the schools go back in Sept.:-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 19:06, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * When Dianna mentioned that the article had recently been copyedited, I jumped to the (erroneous) conclusion that it was a content dispute :-). Yes, sometimes you can "smell" a copyvio but finding the source is difficult. And BTW, thanks for the cupcake! All the best,  Mini  apolis  20:27, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Miniapolis, further to the above copyvio discussion, not that it makes any difference now, you might like to take a look at Sockpuppet investigations/Turgeis/Archive. This follows on from Simon's removal of a copyvio-heavy article from the requests page. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 22:07, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link, especially since I'm trying to become more familiar with SPI and hope to improve my copyvio-smelling ability :-). Good work by Simon. All the best,  Mini  apolis  01:27, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Re: Belcourt Castle
Hello there,

About two and a half weeks ago you came to by page because of a help notice I added about Belcourt Castle. I asked the editor to discuss their changes on either one or both of the user accounts but to no avail and with no response whatsoever. Since then, a couple of other editors have reverted what are now obviously disruptive posts. I've been away and just got back. What's the next step since the editor hasn't answered any calls for discussion? I see now that the editor in question has already racked up two blocks yet is continuing with their disruptive behaviour. Thank you :) Seven Letters 03:58, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Blocked for a month this time, but they may be headed for an indef. All the best,  Mini  apolis  13:48, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for acting so swiftly. I'm not used to conflict on Wikipedia so it's nice to see people swoop in and help when and where needed! Seven Letters 13:59, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Glad to help. I also prefer to tread peacefully on WP :-), but this seems to be an SPA with a COI and the total lack of response on their talk page leads me to believe that they're WP:NOTHERE. Time will tell. All the best,  Mini  apolis  14:04, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Prashant!'s requests
Hi Miniapolis, I noticed that Prashant! has asked on two of his three current requests ( Alphonse Elric Fashion (film) and Kaminey; the latter I c/e'd in June) that he'd like you to copy-edit the articles. They'll be top of the list soon; shall I leave them for you? As far as I'm concerned he can ask for a specific editor, but if that editor's busy or otherwise doesn't want to or can't do the c/e, anyone can accept the request. I know you're probably busy elsewhere or in RL but I thought it would be wise to ask you first. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 19:30, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, Baffle. Prashant! is quite demanding; I don't mind copyediting his requests when it's my turn, so to speak, but he's mistaken if he thinks I'm his personal copyeditor. Please don't leave them for me, since I'm plugging away at the backlog and don't plan to do any requests until that's knocked down (which we both know probably won't happen this drive :-)). I'll leave a note on his talk page and the requests page. Thanks for the heads-up and all the best,  Mini  apolis  19:41, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
 * No worries; thanks for your reply, and happy plugging away! ;-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 20:25, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry Miniapolis, I've quoted the articles incorrectly; I've struck and corrected for the record. All the best :-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 22:18, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Not to worry; I left notes under the articles in question and on his talk page. It bugs me (and I'm not flattered at all) that he seems to think some copyeditors are better than others. Funny you should mention repeat copyedits; I think I've already done Fashion, but the Bollywood articles run together after a while. All the best,  Mini  apolis  01:00, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Edit conflict on Refugee Advocacy Service of South Australia
It looks like we had an edit conflict on Refugee Advocacy Service of South Australia. I may have overwritten your copyedits. I'll take a look and see if I can integrate what you put in there. Feel free to edit my edits. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:01, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but all I did so far was the (two-sentence) lead. Please feel free to continue it; I'll pick another article. Have fun and all the best,  Mini  apolis  19:27, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm glad I didn't step on your work too badly. I integrated some of your edits to the lead with the edits I had done, and I'm done with the article. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:45, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, but according to MOS:ITALIC those court cases should be italicized :-). All the best,  Mini  apolis  19:51, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
