Copy-edit version

A good idea also is to put on the article Talk page a GOCE version template, like this of Twofingered Typist

(ping) - Can you put one on Talk:Franklin's electrostatic machine just below Twofingered Typist's one. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:57, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Great improvements to the article = I appreciate it. I have ordered some ILL books to look into the Joseph Hopkinson's gift of the original Franklin battery to the Royal Society. I'll see what I can come up with. I have resubmitted for Good Article nomination (for a second time) and I can see with these great improvements you have made, that there is a good chance it will pass this time.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:02, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

I appreciate all of your appreciation and encouragement, but for some reason, I had the impression is that articles should not be submitted as Good Articles while they are in the midst of significant changes, such as the copy-editing you requested, which I have only half-way completed. I'm just a beginner here, so I may not understand the situation, but I have the sense that you might have "jumped the gun" just a little bit, and that perhaps it would have been better to wait until the copy-editing process is finished is at least mostly completed before re-submitting the article for review as a Good Article. --Burnishe (talk) 02:41, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

You are right, of course. My mistake. I have removed the GAN. Feel free to copy-edit as long as you want. I'll be glad to wait until you are completely done. Thanks again for the great job you have done on this article. Merry Christmas!--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:10, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

• Another idea I noticed used by others is this GOCE template, while it is being copy edited --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:15, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

• Thank you for the suggestion to use the {{GOCE in use}} template. I've removed the template now, because (interestingly) the template itself was requesting to be removed. --Burnishe (talk) 06:59, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
