Margaret[edit]

You might remember back in December you were reviewing Margaret (singer) for me. Could you maybe have a look at the recent changes? Last week it's passed GA nomination and since then I've added few things and rewritten it a bit and just want to make sure it is all good. ArturSik (talk) 04:14, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ArturSik: Congratulations on achieving GA status for the article. I'll have a look at it for you as soon as I finish the GOCE request I'm working on now. Twofingered Typist (talk) 11:04, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for finding time to review it. I've sorted the idols bit and also rewritten the sentence about the auctioned painting as she is not a painter and this was a one-off thing for the charity. With the citations I never use more than it is necessary, sometimes one citation simply doesn't state all the information and therefore I have to use more than one, however it is usually not more than two. Thank you again :) ArturSik (talk) 17:06, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Plot c.e.[edit]

Hey Twofingered Typist, hope you're doing well. I was wondering if you could offer a c.e. correcting the basic grammar, sentence structure etc to improve the flow in the plot section section here. Thanks, your edits are always appreciated. NumerounovedantTalk 06:40, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Numerounovedant: I've now had a quick run through of the article for you. Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:12, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much, it is my first attempt at a fictional character's article and I was really struggling with the plot section. XD It looks so much better now. Thanks again. NumerounovedantTalk 12:32, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rachel Scott, and favor[edit]

Hi, I was the one who requested for a copyedit of aforementioned article, thank you so much. I was wondering if you could take a quick peek on the article List of accolades received by Drive (2011 film)? It's a list that I've been working on and planning to submit for FL right after another nomination of mine gets promoted. Please, I can assure you it won't take much of your time; it's just two paragraphs. It's completely fine if you don't want to. Either way, I'll give a barnstar for your trouble. Thanks a lot. Bluesphere 03:12, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bluesphere: I've made some very minor tweaks to your text. I think you're good to go. Regards. Twofingered Typist (talk) 11:49, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a bunch! As promised, I award you not one, but two barnstars!

Typo[edit]

You overlooked this typo in the Rachel Scott article: an article I very significantly contributed to expanding, referencing, and improving between last year and this: 'Denver|Denver, Colorado.' Regards.--Kieronoldham (talk) 21:11, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Twofingered Typist You're welcome. Kez. :)--Kieronoldham (talk) 21:32, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sallekhana is a topic related to Jainism and death. It is currently under GA review. The article was nominated by other editor but I had to rewrote it to meet GA guidelines. I am not native English speaker so I may have made several grammatical mistakes. Can you help me by copyediting it? As it is a topic related to religion, it will be also helpful to know that if the article is OK for a person unfamiliar with the subject. I have also noted some points on Talk. Regards,--Nizil (talk) 05:38, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you![edit]

CE[edit]

Hi! Can you copy edit the Columbidae article? I am promoting it for a GA, so it might be good if it has undergone a ce process. :) Adityavagarwal (talk) 14:49, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Adityavagarwal: Sorry, I am currently working on helping to clear a huge backlog of articles requring a c/e at the Guild of Copy Editors Request page.
