In the main page blurb, please change "Just downstream from Thistle, a slump had been in slow motion for years, with no serious thought of investigation" to "Just downstream from Thistle, a slump had been in slow motion for years, but had not been seriously investigated." Slumps aren't capable of serious thought. :) alanyst 04:03, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. WP:ERRORS is generally better for these sorts of requests, but you may not have known that. I wonder if there's a way of creating an edit-notice to point people in that direction? Bencherlite ^Talk 13:29, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Indeed, I didn't know about WP:ERRORS, but just followed the protected template instructions when I tried to edit the blurb myself. It would be good for those instructions to refer to WP:ERRORS for cases where that's the appropriate avenue. alanyst 14:11, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(Logs out to check the message, logs back in) The instructions do refer to WP:ERRORS, but it could be clearer I agree. The instructions are also a bit out of date generally. I will see if I can track down where that message comes from and update it. Bencherlite ^Talk 14:50, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
