Ce

Would you mind copyediting the top articles on GOCE/REQ page: Anjaana Anjaani and Gunday? There are there since the last two months and no has touched them. Miniapolis chose the latter to edit but he dropped out due to a confusion. I would appreciate your help here. Thanks!Krish | Talk 07:17, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

GOCE September drive bling

		The Most Excellent Order of the Caretaker's Star
		This barnstar is awarded to Twofingered Typist for copy edits totaling over 100,000 words (including bonus and rollover words) during the GOCE September 2017 Backlog Elimination Drive. Congratulations, and thank you for your contributions! Tdslk (talk) 00:27, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Glad to see you got a copy edit in this month despite your computer issues. My computer also went down in September, but I was lucky and got it running the next day after swapping-out the power supply. I dedicate the awards I received for September to you in hopes of your return to the Wikicommunity. – Reidgreg (talk) 11:43, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your dedication. :) I wanted to finish the GOCE request after my computer "died" and was able to do so at my local library. I live in a rural area and my only repair option is Best Buy. I call periodically hoping that things are progressing - parts are ordered, now we're waiting on them etc... I live in hope! I do have access to an IPad so at least I can deal with email. There's absolutely no way I could edit a Wikipedia article on it. I tried, and apart from very basic fixes, it would drive me crazy.

(talk page stalker)Very sorry to hear about your computer trouble, TT, and I hope it's fixed soon (and not too expensively). Reidgreg, I'm lucky enough to be married to someone who's good with computers and this thing is on its third power supply :-). Best to you both, Miniapolis 17:25, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

@Miniapolis and Reidgreg: I have retrieved my computer from Best Buy. No one seems to be able to give me a definitive answer as to what was wrong with it, but I am grateful that it appears to be working and I can resume editing. It's Thanksgiving weekend here and we are bracing for serious rain from Nate.Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:50, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Awesomeness! I'm a bit north of Nate's path, or so they say. You've probably got a lot on your plate (including turkey), but if you'd like to submit any more articles from the past year to The 10,000 Challenge (Canada) you can use this link. Awards forthcoming in November (fingers crossed). – Reidgreg (talk) 15:04, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Re:Lenalee Lee

I tried clarifying it. Hope it helps. By the way, thanks for the copyedit as usual.Tintor2 (talk) 22:01, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Pavel Bure copyedit

Thanks for going through it. I know it was a long one, and that was even after I went through and parsed it down a bit. Kaiser matias (talk) 03:03, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

CE of Fawad Khan

Hi! I've requested a copy-edit of Fawad Khan. It'd be kind of you to consider copy editing it. Thanks Amirk94391 (talk) 13:44, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Amirk94391 As a rule, GOCE editors try to work through the requests list roughly in the order they are made in an attempt to make the wait time for those asking for a c/e a short as possible. There are about 30 requests in the queue ahead of yours. It will likely take several weeks to clear the backlog. Once this is done, if the article has not been selected by another editor, I'll have a look. Thanks for your patience. Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:29, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Matt Mills

Thanks for the query. Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#En_dashes explains this quite clearly. "Two forms of dash are used on Wikipedia: en dash (–) and em dash (—). To enter them, click on them to the right of the "Insert" dropdown beneath the edit window." Best wishes 78.147.169.190 (talk) 18:20, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

78.147.169.190 Thanks for this. I don't know why I missed this somehow. It certainly does save a lot of time. Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:47, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2

Thanks for the copyedit. However, a member from the project recommended expanding a bit the plot of the game. As a result, I briefly expanded the first paragraph of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2#Plot and characters and I don't know if it is okay. Sorry for the late request but it is really small. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 00:38, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

• @Tintor2: I've had a run through it and made some editorial changes as requested. Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:14, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
