Here is what I've got cooked up for Jimbo.Or have you already got one going? Comments, suggestions, improvements? Regards, -- Diannaa (Talk) 18:02, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * That looks great! Who says you can't do barnstars? LOL. Fantastic effort, I love it. - S Masters (talk) 02:54, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I am going to go ahead and deliver it now. BTW, could you deliver the rest of my barnstars, please? It's creepy to have to do my own. Thanks. -- Diannaa  (Talk) 17:38, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Congrats and thanks for all your hard work and leadership. Let me know if I missed out any barnstars. :-) - S Masters (talk) 18:00, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't know buddy. There is currently a problem with the Bollywood Hungama image licence and it is currently being discussed on Commons. I don't want this problem to affect the FAC process. The images can be still used though we are discussing on their uploading process as it currently takes forever. What is your opinion on this? Should we wait? --  Bollywood Dreamz  talk 18:37, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Another co-coordinator
Ocean Shores wants to be a co-coordinator for the September GOCE backlog elimination drive. Do you think we should make them one? The Raptor You rang?/My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions 13:36, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no issues with it but can you please check with ɳorɑfʈ and Diannaa if she's around? Thanks. –S Masters (talk) 13:40, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I've already sent a message to Noraft, and yes, I'll send a message to Diannaa. The Raptor  You rang?/My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions 13:42, 9 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Noraft has responded. He said that Ocean Shores will be our new spot checker; that is, Ocean Shores will be in charge of making sure all copy edits are good. We didn't stress that much in the last two drives, and I think it's about time we implement it. The Raptor  You rang?/My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions 01:09, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Excellent idea! I fully support this. - S Masters (talk) 09:17, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Help Pls - Copy Edit
Hi SMasters, I have created a article titled National Waterway 4 (NW-4). I have just posted a Draft article on WP. User:Sodabottle has suggested copy edit for improving the article. I'm also working on the copy editing part. As you are a experienced member of Copy Editors Team, I request Copy Edit for the Article as well as requesting you to provide your valuable Comments / Feedback to improve the article. With the Response i'll focus on 5 Other National Waterways in India. --- Raj 6644 (தமிழன்)  09:00, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, I am currently extremely busy in RL, and do not have much time. I will try to look at it over the weekend if I can. If it is very urgent, you might want to put in a note at the request page of the Guild of Copy Editors. Cheers. - S Masters (talk) 09:15, 13 August 2010 (UTC).
 * Ok Fine SMasters. Go ahead. If u find some good time. Pls do copy edit. Have a good day! -- Raj 6644 (தமிழன்)  09:30, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

GOCE Invitation
I'm not signing my posts. Is that ok? Ocean  Shores 17:03, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's OK if you want. I have moved all the names to the bottom. It shows that we are a team and looks better. But when I did this, I broke the layout on the left and I'm not sure how to fix it as my original template had the logo on the right. That makes it much easier to style. Can you help fix it? Thanks so much for all your help. - S Masters (talk) 17:09, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You mean you want the sidebar on the right? It looks fine on the left. Also, I changed the en dash to an em dash. Is that grammatically correct? Ocean  Shores 17:16, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, and I won't be posting the newsletter to those who are retired. Ocean  Shores 17:21, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * How can you tell if they have retired? - S Masters (talk) 17:38, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The "retired" template. Ocean  Shores 17:55, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I may need assistants, as this is taking much longer than I anticipated. Ocean  Shores 17:55, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Might need a WikiBreak, too...

Thanks!

Update
I'm done with the category. I'll start on the list (hopefully) tomorrow or Tuesday. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me. Thanks! Ocean  Shores 22:20, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was already in bed when you wrote earlier and now I am back at work with a busy schedule this week. I will try to help but are you not using a bot to send these? It will take forever to do 300+ individually. - S Masters (talk) 03:11, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess it wouldn't make much of a difference, but can the bot spot duplicates? Ocean  Shores 03:21, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * GOCE is currently using MessageDeliveryBot to deliver our newsletters, like the last one. - S Masters (talk) 03:23, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
