The Clash

Really appreciate the herculean effort in the copy-edit of this article. It obviously needed a fresh pair of eye and I must say you most certainly went above and beyond. Many thanks! Karst (talk) 13:52, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

No problem, @Karst:, it's an interesting article and I enjoyed copy-editing it. I added a few {{cn}} templates to an uncited paragraph in the final section, otherwise there weren't any major problems. I've certainly dealt with articles in worse condition, just a shame I couldn't bag it for the January c/e drive! Good luck with the article and cheers, Baffle☿gab 19:10, 2 February 2024 (UTC).

GA

I am looking to do GA and looking for advice on Dia. The film included unknown actors prior to the film's release that's why there is a Background section. The article is relatively short though. DareshMohan (talk) 05:11, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @DareshMohan:, after a quick glance I can only say the sections "Plot" and "Critical reception" should be split into two paragraphs. The lede could also be expanded to better summarize the article. I'd also suggest either changing the {{quotebox}} to a {{Blockquote}} or working the quoted speech into regular text; per WP:MOS, pull-quotes aren't supposed to be used in articles. I'm not even sure how relevant the director's opinions are to that section. I'm tired right now but I may work on it sometime. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 05:54, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Narwhal

I know you don't accept requests but narwhal has been listed at Copyeditors Guild for a month and could now use a copyedit since it is at FAC. LittleJerry (talk) 23:44, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @LittleJerry:, thanks for your message. i know you're not the requester here but it's advisable to wait for the c/e to occur before nominating for FAC, which i see is swinging towards oppose. I doubt a c/e would save its bacon at the moment; copy-edit isn't content work. Also, I see no reason to prioritise a request made in March over those that have been waiting since January. However, i might take it for the April Blitz if it's still there. Good luck with the article. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 01:18, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Okay them. I didn't nominate the article but asked since both opposes were based on prose. LittleJerry (talk) 01:44, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

You Belong with Me Copy-Edit

Hello, thanks for your work on the article. Prior to your work the article followed WP:FALSETITLE so could you please keep this in mind moving forward (i.e. "the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift" vs "American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift", "the producer Nathan Chapman" vs "producer Nathan Chapman")?

HI @Ippantekina:, thanks for your message, I'll bear it in mind. Cheers,Baffle☿gab 20:26, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
