Gowanus Canal

Hello:

The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Gowanus Canal has been completed.

I did rearrange some of the material into what to me was a more logical order. It's an easy fix to reverse this if you're not happy with it.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:43, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Sub-categories

I removed the neighborhoods because both Category:Chelsea and Category:Flatiron District have all 23rd Street stations in their subcategories. It was redundant. --Precision123 (talk) 04:11, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

@Precision123: I presume you mean Category:Chelsea, Manhattan. Both categories have the subcategory Category:23rd Street (Manhattan), which accurately encapsulates both stations. But the difference is that 23rd Street runs through both Chelsea and Flatiron, while each station may only be in one of these neighborhoods. epicgenius (talk) 13:09, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
No problem. Just wanted to explain my edit. I understand that position. --Precision123 (talk) 20:27, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

What's new?

The Collaboration team has announced the start of a new project: In-Context Help and Onboarding. The idea is to improve retention of new wiki editors by giving them short tutorials and other training experiences related to, and triggered by, their current activities on the wikis (that’s the “in context” part). The project follows from the conclusions of the New Editor Experiences research. The work is in its very early stages, but we’d like to hear from people with ideas on the subject—particularly if you have experience supporting or training new contributors.
