Hi edit

Hi, I've seen you working on Lady Gaga's article recently. I am currently working on THIS article. I have already changed and expanded the intro, so could you have a look at it and correct all the mistakes that I have made such as grammar, punctuation etc as English is not my first language, so mistakes could happen. I'd appreciate that. ArturSik (talk) 09:43, 23 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi again, sorry for bothering you. Could you please review this article one more time, I've added bits and pieces to all sections so if it's not a problem and you have spare time could you please have a look at it as a whole. I've asked others already, no one's responding, someone advised me to ask for help HERE, however no response. Regards. ArturSik (talk) 20:50, 7 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for response, appreciate it. ArturSik (talk) 21:05, 7 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. Everything seems perfect. I know about archive.org as we use it on Polish Wikipedia too, so the sources taken from the Polish version of the article are definitely archived, but I'll have a look again. Regards. ArturSik (talk) 13:31, 1 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

tps edit

(talk page stalker). Hi, Twofingered Typist. For your archive script, I suggest:

Change Example → Twofingered Typist

"Example" is an example setup, so you need to customize it to your user name. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 06:13, 4 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Duh, thanks!! No wonder it didn't work! Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:20, 4 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Question about FAC of "Shine" edit

Hello, thank you again for copyediting "Shine". I have recently nominated the article again for GAC and I was wondering if you could look over it when you have the time. I apologize for any intrusion. Thank you in advance. Aoba47 (talk) 22:03, 5 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thank you again for your help with this article. I honestly gave up trying to make it an FA, but I still appreciate your copyediting and support. Aoba47 (talk) 05:00, 7 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

June 2016 Guild of Copy Editors Newsletter edit

Guild of Copy Editors June 2016 News
 

 

Hello everyone, welcome to the June 2016 GOCE newsletter. It's been a few months since we sent one out; we hope y'all haven't forgotten about the Guild! Your coordinators have been busy behind the scenes as usual, though real life has a habit of reducing our personal wiki-time. The May backlog reduction drive, the usual coordinating tasks and preparations for the June election are keeping us on our toes!

May drive: Thanks to everyone who participated in last month's record-setting backlog reduction drive. Of the 29 people who signed up, 16 copyedited at least one article, 197 copyedits were recorded on the drive page, and the copyedit backlog fell below 1,500 for the first time! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

June Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz will occur from 12 June through 18 June; the themes will be video games and Asian geography.

Coordinator elections: It's election time again; how quickly they seem to roll around! Nominations for the next tranche of Guild coordinators, who will serve a six-month term that begins at 00:01 UTC on 1 July and ends at 23:59 UTC on 31 December, opens at 00:01 UTC on 1 June and closes at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. Voting takes place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. If you'd like to assist behind the scenes, please consider stepping forward; self-nominations are welcomed and encouraged. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; remember it's your Guild, and it doesn't run itself!

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, Miniapolis and Baffle gab1978.

To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Rush job edit

Hi, Twofingered Typist. I put the cart before the horse, and Sainsf beat me to getting a GOCE polishing on Kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard before a Good Article review. She has accepted the GA review. Can you kindly do a quick polishing before her review actually starts? Here is the GOCE listing I put up. I know this is a breach of protocol, so do whatever is right. No worries. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 03:03, 10 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Precious edit

golden fingers

Thank you for your splendid, priceless work on copyediting so many articles in just over a year here. Especially for so kindly accepting and acting upon Checkingfax's request to copyedit Kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard at lightning speed (that's the spirit of IAR!) Be proud of yourself, and thank your two golden fingers – you are an awesome Wikipedian!

DYK for Caitlyn Jenner edit

On 24 June 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Caitlyn Jenner, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that 1976 Summer Olympics decathlon champion Caitlyn Jenner (pictured) was once a Playgirl magazine cover model? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Caitlyn Jenner. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Caitlyn Jenner), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
