User:Coppertwig/Notices#Proofreading offer

• An arbitration case in which I participated (though not as a party) has just concluded: full decision is at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abd-William M. Connolley; brief summary is on the arb noticeboard.
• The page First Roumanian-American congregation, written by Jayjg and with which I helped a little with the editing, is now a featured article candidate; discussion is here.

I've been accused of having a tendency to quibble over details. Well, put that to good use! If you ever want someone to quibble over details (i.e. proofread/copyedit an article), feel free to call on me. I like being asked to look over articles, and tend to come up with a lot of fiddly little changes. You can get an idea of what you'll be in for if you look at the comments I made going over these articles for example: comments on Beth Hamedrash Hagadol and comments on ScienceApologist's Optics article at wikisource. The former became a featured article after I fiddled with it, so I must not have totally messed things up. The latter might become the first featured article written by a banned user. I also made even smaller changes directly to each article. There's no guarantee that I'll have time, or that I won't get into content disputes.

Comments from more editors would be helpful. I've moved the draft guidelines to a separate page, Wikipedia:WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration/Placename guidelines and refactored the discussion on the talk page. (The top of the talk page has the older discussion; lower sections contain my refactored/summarized versions of the discussion, to which people are welcome to add more comments.) I'll probably start a policy RfC on it within a few weeks, but hope to get consensus for a single version of the wording first. Opinions from more editors could help to work out consensus wording.

Discuss ideas on how to enforce neutrality policy: Wikipedia:Neutrality enforcement. My own suggestion is here: Modification: Edits are paired up.

The Arbitration Committee opened this request for comments: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Content dispute resolution

• The Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/West Bank - Judea and Samaria case is closed. Eight editors are topic-banned.
• Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Abd and JzG is currently ongoing but looks as if it may wrap up soon.

• I've proposed draft guidelines for the use of the terms "West Bank", "Samaria" and "Judea". Please participate in discussion here. See also current Arbcom case, in which I've been participating.
• Flagged revisions: a poll for a two-month trial has been closed with strong support for a trial. Implementation details are being worked out here.
• I've participated in a user-conduct RfC about JzG; JzG has started an MfD discussion here to delete the RfC (21:00, 5 April 2009 (UTC))
• I plan to be on wikibreak Monday to Thursday each week for several weeks.
