Women in Red
Hi there, Akakievich, and welcome to Women in Red. On the basis of your work on Anke Domscheit-Berg, you already seem to have a good command of Wikipedia editing. When you feel ready to create a biography yourself, you might find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. As you are interested in translating biographies of German politicians, you will find a list of those not yet covered in English on our red list of German politicians. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:18, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Rebel News
The idea of the news site being far right was not exactly proven as you could check the entry on mediabiasfactcheck.com, and the use who created the thing may probably had some left wing bias, as he did not get consensus on the talk page either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ABruhRandomUser (talk • contribs) 21:35, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- @ABruhRandomUser: The reason you are asked to get consensus is because this has been controversial in the past, and the wording "far right" is what was settled on. There are five sources supporting this claim. If you do want to change it, you're within your rights to try and do that, but doing it via an edit war is destructive to Wikipedia. All the best, Akakievich (talk) 21:40, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

ARTICLE CREATION REQUEST
Hello! I've been impressed with the quality of your work recently and would like to request your help in creating an article on 6-time Brazilian jiu Jitsu world champion Paulo Sergio Santos. I've filed the request for an article under Sports -> martial arts in requests, but I was wondering if you'd have the time to help kick it off and create the initial page? In the request, there are several useful links including: https://www.instagram.com/paulosergiobjj/?hl=en https://www.bjjheroes.com/bjj-fighters/paulo-sergio https://www.bjjee.com/interview/highest-ranked-black-belt-in-france-paulo-sergio-santos-we-must-be-an-example-for-our-students/ http://www.psphoenixbjj.com/?page_id=6 https://www.amazon.com/Brazilian-Jiu-Jitsu-Alliance-Standing-Techniques/dp/B00EWJ407Y I would write it myself, but I have a conflict of interest since I have trained with him before and therefore I'm not impartial.
Thank you, BasicsOnly — Preceding unsigned comment added by BasicsOnly (talk • contribs) 23:19, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- @BasicsOnly: Hello, thanks for getting in touch - and thanks especially for disclosing your conflict of interest. Unfortunately I'm not sure this is something I can do - I don't have any knowledge about martial arts and I don't speak Portuguese. Maybe you could look for someone suitable at Wikipedia:WikiProject Martial arts? I hope you succeed! Best wishes, Akakievich (talk) 23:33, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Why are you still falsifying the Tigre people page?
The Tigre community and I are trying to tell the general history of the Tigre people, written and told by Tigres themselves. However, astonishing set of claims on the Tigre people page. Set of ideology, a mixture of just cherry-picked quotes facts and figures self serving, selective, a farrago of distortions, misrepresentations, misinterpretations, putting forward these sweeping opinions.
I'm following the trail of evidence on the Tigre people's religion, traditions and accustoms, using trusted sources from academics and using reliable citations. They are falsifying the history, using eloquent language to change peoples thoughts, trying to cause confusion on the reality. The Tigre people are defenceless people like many communities in Eritrea.
I tried showing the melting pot that has existed in Eritrea over the centuries because of its very strategic location on the Red Sea which made it significant in anciet times using BBC sites and video clips as referencing but got deleted by marauding group supporting the current Eritrean government known internationally for his poor human rights record in Eritrea and across the region, which I don't need to say, everyone knows. Wikipedia should be calling these user accounts for accountability and to use referencing and citation.
The Tigre people and other communities have illustrious history unknown to some due to the users inaccurate opinion of things. They need to stop combining everyone into one ideology which is not right anyway. They're saying because we're saying we are Eritrean that this is what we want, which is not true. There are other perspectives not just theirs. They're trying to split hair here.
The Tigre, Bilen, Saho, Afar, Beja and Rashida pages are being distorted. We reference our reports, they dont. We trust our sources of information.
The reality is the users are supporting a well known and understood regime that don't accept Muslim Eritreans despite making 50% of the population.
Isais Awferki's hand picked by the Ethiopians and is not a true representation of the public. Muslims and Christian Eritreans get along its just the government. Please dont give them platform to impose their opinion of things.
There is a real solitary amongst all Eritreans and the international community. Both Christian and Muslims know enough to reject this bluff. Christians are also being persecuted. Please stop the users (Awferki's allies) from imposing this dishonest, offensive ideology. They have an amnesiac streak when it comes to acknowledging the immigrant blood in their veins. Due to the strategic position of the country, many ancient civilisations came and mixed with the pre-existing population. Period.
With all due respect

- Regarding the demographic population abroad, how were they able to verify them all as Eritreans of Tigrinya orgin? There are tens of thousands of non-Tigrinya Eritreans living in the western countries stop generalizing all Eritreans into one Ethnic group.

GOCE June newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors June 2020 Newsletter
  Hello and welcome to the June newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since March 2020. You can unsubscribe from our mailings at any time; see below. All times and dates stated are in UTC. Current events
Election time: Nomination of candidates in our mid-year Election of Coordinators opened on 1 June, and voting will take place from 00:01 on 16 June. GOCE coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, or you know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. June Blitz: This blitz begins at 00:01 on 14 June and ends at 23:59 on 20 June, with themes of articles tagged for copyedit in May 2020 and requests. Drive and blitz reports
March Drive: Self-isolation from coronavirus may have played a hand in making this one of our most successful backlog elimination drives. The copy-editing backlog was reduced from 477 to a record low of 118 articles, a 75% reduction. The last four months of 2019 were cleared, reducing the backlog to three months. Fifty requests were also completed, and the total word count of copy-edited articles was 759,945. Of the 29 editors who signed up, 22 completed at least one copy edit. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. April Blitz: This blitz ran from 12 to 18 April with a theme of Indian military history. Of the 18 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed a total of 60 copyedits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. May Drive: This event marked the 10th anniversary of the GOCE's copy-editing drives, and set a goal of diminishing the backlog to just one month of articles, as close to zero articles as possible. We achieved the goal of eliminating all articles that had been tagged prior to the start of the drive, for the first time in our history! Of the 51 editors who signed up, 43 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
Progress report: as of 2 June, GOCE participants had processed 328 requests since 1 January, which puts us on pace to exceed any previous year's number of requests. As of the end of the May drive, the backlog stood at just 156 articles, all tagged in May 2020. Outreach: To mark the 10th anniversary of our first Backlog Elimination Drive, The Signpost contributor and GOCE participant Puddleglum2.0 interviewed project coordinators and copy-editors for the journal's April WikiProject Report. The Drive and the current Election of Coordinators have also been covered in The Signpost's May News and Notes page. 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, Baffle gab1978, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

September 2021 Guild of Copy Editors newsletter
| Guild of Copy Editors September 2021 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021. Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.

Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). 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, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
