Thanks for your copy edit! – Reidgreg (talk) 12:11, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, first of all a big thanks for copy editing several articles created by me. I am putting my request here after reading your talk page. I published an article, Kanta (play). As I am not a native speaker of English, I tend to make mistake in grammar. This articles also needs close paraphrasing and improvement in style and tone. If you are busy with another stuff, It is OK. Thanks. --Gazal world (talk) 12:27, 8 July 2018 (UTC

- Sorry, for asking directly on your user talk. But the turn around on the copy edit desk can be so long that sometimes reviews are finished before my requests are gotten too. Can you also help me copy edit James Wood Bush? I’m trying to get this through FAC as quick as possible. Thanks.KAVEBEAR (talk) 19:36, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Teamwork Barnstar

| It is with great pleasure that I award this barnstar jointly and severally to Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Reidgreg and Tdslk. It has been earned by the serene grace with which these editors guide GOCE through the choppy waters of Wikipedia while no doubt paddling like crazy beneath the surface. Both the paddling and the calm are much appreciated. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:21, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, I'm new to the Guild of Copy Editors. As you saw, I joined the member list yesterday. (I appreciate the acknowledgement; it's good to know that the community is active.)
I just stumbled across the Backlog Elimination Drive for July. It seems like a good place to get organized and track my own progress. (Plus, who doesn't want barnstars? :D) I was wondering how to retroactively list articles I've copy edited? This includes 3x3 basketball, which I copy edited yesterday. I was also wondering if it is possible to count articles from June as well (since I see some of the other editors have rollover words). I did extensive copy editing on numerous articles, including Keanu Reeves, Advertising revenue, Healthcare in Canada, and Human resource management. Feel free to check the history of these articles to verify. --Bobbychan193 (talk) 17:10, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Bobbychan193. I'm excited that you are joining the Guild and want to participate in the drive! You can give yourself credit for any articles you edited during the month of July. The rollover totals are from our previous drive, which was in May, and are calculated as the "extra" words above the cut-off for a certain barnstar from that drive. At the end of the July drive we will calculate the rollover words for you and you can add them to your total for our next drive, in September. Unfortunately, articles edited in June don't count towards the total; improving Wikipedia will have to be its own reward for those. :) Let me know if you have any other questions! Tdslk (talk) 17:19, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Got it. I just assumed the drive was a monthly thing. It's all good! --Bobbychan193 (talk) 17:23, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- It's every other month, to give ourselves a break! Tdslk (talk) 17:24, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello:
I left a note following Reidgreg's request that someone look through KABC-TV. I started to do so and ended up in an edit conflict with you as it turns out. I see the article's "keeper" is also making edits and you've now finished your edits. I'll leave it be. Cheers Twofingered Typist (talk) 22:34, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, @Twofingered Typist:. I don't think the article needed that much work anyway. Although quite minor, I do respectfully wonder about your edit to "It was also the last of the Los Angeles "classic seven" TV stations which were originally on the VHF dial, prior to the 2009 digital conversions" (emphasis added). I've always understood that American English prefers the use of "that" instead of "which" in such circumstances (although in British English either is acceptable). Regards, Tdslk (talk) 22:44, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
