Boogeyman 2 GOCE

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to c/e Boogeyman 2. I really appreciate it. I hope you don't mind that I made a few edits before you were finished. PanagiotisZois (talk) 11:24, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Cheers! gave me a good excuse to watch the movie. I may go back in and trim the plot section of extraneous details, but to my eye, it looks fairly good otherwise. glad to have helped. --Paradoxasauruser (talk) 12:14, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Withdraw copyedit request for United Express Flight 3411 incident

I withdraw my copyedit request for United Express Flight 3411 incident.

I didn't realize it was still up there after so long.

I've recently put in two other newer ones, instead.

I've looked over United Express Flight 3411 incident and it already looks pretty good on its own. Sagecandor (talk) 15:05, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Interested in another collaboration?

I'm working Indian Air force and if u ever wanna pop in just sync up with me and we'll bang out some collabcopy. Jasphetamine (talk) 05:55, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Sure! Things are a little busy at work right now so I don't want to lock myself into it but I'm interested. What's its status? -- Paradoxasauruser (talk) 12:16, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

So far it has been easy going. Sentences can be a little wonky here and there but it is nothing too serious. I am still on my initial rough-pass to get stuff into a state that can be refined. Wasn't lookin' to lock you in -- for now I'll leave Indian Air Force#Land-based missile systems section and anything below that on the page alone so if you like SAM systems it is all yours to edit. On a less calm note status of the talk page is I appear to have irked someone by accident and am hoping it just goes away without me needing to go full E. Manning and audible a screen on the line to keep the page okay. Jasphetamine (talk) 14:05, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

oh, dear. Wikipedia's talk pages, where we nerds coalesce to start wilin out haha. i'm in the midst of c/e for a Bruno Mars production section (gripping) but keep me updated with the status of things and I will drop in! --Paradoxasauruser (talk) 02:07, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

On the Job (2013 film) GOCE

Hi, thanks for your copy edits to this article so far. I see you tagged a sentence in the lead requiring citations. I believe that is supported by fourth paragraph under Development and writing section. However, I think that might have been due to how I worded it. Can you just reword that sentence to match those of your copy edits? Best, Bluesphere 07:20, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

@Bluesphere: Yes, I think I had just gotten to Development and Writing when I had to stop for the day. I've reused some citations explicitly where I thought it was beneficial, and I thought I had taken care of all of the citation needed templates before calling it quits, but I must have missed that one. I'll make sure to take care of it when I return to editing the article. Thanks for catching that! --Paradoxasauruser (talk) 12:19, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Paradoxasauruser, You have had a "working" tag for the above article on the Guild of Copy Editors Requests page for two weeks. Could you please either complete the copy edit or remove the working tag so that another editor can finish it? Thanks, Tdslk (talk) 22:42, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Sorry about that - been busy at work. I'm finishing up today. --Paradoxasauruser (talk) 12:32, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Paradoxasauruser, could you clarify what needs to be formatted on the Music credits section? Slightlymad (talk) 10:46, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

@Slightlymad: I think the standard is Template:Track listing as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Film#Soundtrack. --Paradoxasauruser (talk) 12:32, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

The movie doesn't have an official soundtrack so I opted creating a table for the tracks instead. Slightlymad (talk) 15:03, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

@Slightlymad: that's alright - the definition of "soundtrack" within the Film project appears to be pretty lax - since there are different writers, producers, and performers for each track, I believe it falls more under "soundtrack" than "score" (the latter wouldn't warrant the soundtrack format). --Paradoxasauruser (talk) 15:08, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for completing the copy edit, hopefully the GAR goes well. :) P.S.: You forgot to leave that GOCE template in the article's talk. All the best, Slightlymad (talk)

@Slightlymad: You are right - I knew I was forgetting something. Thanks for your patience! Best of luck with GA/FA nomination. --Paradoxasauruser (talk) 23:46, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Copyeditor's Barnstar
	I could not have promoted On the Job to GA and FA without your copy edit. Here's a token of my appreciation. Cheers! SLIGHTLYmad 06:01, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

@Slightlymad: Very glad it got not only GA but also FA! Great work! --Paradoxasauruser (talk) 13:06, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

GOCE request

Howdy. I have no clue how busy you are irl, but could I ask you to take over my copyedit request of the Dan Gilroy article at WP:GOCE/REQ November queue? I was really happy with what you did at the On the Job article and thought your writing is of the professional standard expected of Good Articles. Hoping for your acceptance, Slightlymad 10:17, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

@Slightlymad: to be honest, I'm pretty busy these days, but I was also thinking I'd like to get back into editing a bit. I should be able to get to it sometime over this/next week - if that's not too slow, feel free! --Paradoxasauruser (talk) 18:17, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

No problem. With the massive GA backlog rn, you have plenty of time in the world. Slightlymad 08:05, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Presidency of Rodrigo Duterte c/e request

Hi Paradoxasauruser, I'm a coordinator with the Guild of Copy Editors. Have you finished your copy-edit of the article Presidency of Rodrigo Duterte. If you've finished, please add {{Done}} beneath the request; if you intend to continue your c/e, please let us know and if you decide not to finish the c/e, please add {{Partly done}}, so another copy-editor can continue where you left off. Thanks for your work on the article so far. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 21:31, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Baffle☿gab! I am still working on the Duterte article, although it's slow going. If someone would prefer to pick it up to work on it at a faster pace, I'm happy to turn it over - but otherwise I'll keep chipping at it. Thanks! Paradoxasauruser (talk) 17:47, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

No problem; thanks for letting me know, there's no hurry. I'll add a note to that effect to the request. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 21:09, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
