Meshuggah copy-edit

Good day Scartol! I really need your help. Could you, please, have a look on Meshuggah and make a copy-edit of the article? It would help me very much!--  LYKANTROP  ✉ 08:24, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Copy editing Davenport, Iowa

Hi! I was wondering if you could copy edit Davenport, Iowa? I am working on getting it to a Featured Article, and one of the suggestions on the peer review was to have a "fresh pair of eyes" copy edit the page, which is a good idea anyway. I will be asking a few people at the PR volunteer's page, to get the widest copyedit perspective I can get. If you can help me, let me know on my talk page or just go ahead and edit the article! If you can't, thanks anyway, a note on my talk would be helpful, but not a big deal if you don't. Thanks again! Ctjf83Talk 00:58, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

LOL, sorry, I auto tune out those top talk page banners...I should read them. How long until Emmeline Pankhurst is done? It would be great to have an English teacher CE for me! :-D Not to mention all the barnstars you have for it! Ctjf83Talk 01:31, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

re: Greetings and a request

Oo, a suffragist -- and a feisty one, at that! I'd love to take a look and comment at the PR, though it might have to wait until the weekend. It would be nice to get away from my own endeavors; another bear (and I don't mean that metaphorically) is at FAC, and Crane is still giving me troubles. In short, yes. :) María (habla conmigo) 19:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Aw, thanks! I really appreciate your help with the little fuzzbucket. Although Colbert stooped to mention Knut during a special "mini" threatdown, no word on what he thought of Flocke. Chances are she's a threat to America. Does that mean that by writing her article I'm helping the terrorists win? María (habla conmigo) 12:07, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Will get to it today, promise! So sorry for the delay... I blame RL. Boo on it. María (habla conmigo) 15:07, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Strawberry Panic!

Hi! I'm doing a GAR on Strawberry Panic! and all of the issues have been fixed by the primary editor except it really needs a copy edit. The phrasing seems very awkward and overly long to me and doesn't seem to flow well at all. Might you have time to give it a going over? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Pankhurst British spellings

Don't worry about it, I annoy the hell out of everyone by writing articles on American engineers using British spelling. I just use the spelling I am used to and leave it to Americans to put it right, I would probably get it completely wrong if I tried. At least you made the attempt (and a good one IMO). I will run it through my spellchecker at the weekend. SpinningSpark 11:01, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Howdy y'all. Ma trusty cotton-pickin' spellchecker has done its work.

By the way, did you know that your Usreboxes are being cut in half on IE6?

Master!

		The Copyeditor's Barnstar
		Isn't there a gold-plated copyeditor's barnstar to top the other ones I've given you for prepping my articles before they go to FAC? Someone should make one. But then I would need 15 others to top that... This one, specifically, is for Stonewall riots. You rule. Moni3 (talk) 16:19, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

History of a Six Weeks' Tour

No Jacket Required

Hello there! I've never really nominated an article for Peer Review before, so bear with me. I have just recently nominated the article, No Jacket Required for Peer Review. I was a major force in turning it into the bare bones article it once was, to the Good Article that it is at the time of this message. I would love to improve it and make it a Featured Article, but I stink at these kinds of things, and usually go in a totally wrong direction! I looked at the Peer Review volunteer's page, and thought that you'd be a great person to look the article over, and see if any improvements are necessary. The link to the peer review is here. I would appreciate any sort of input, but if you are too busy, I certainly understand. Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you at the peer review! CarpetCrawler (talk) 01:32, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Quick Grammar/Word Use Question

A quick (hopefully) copyedit type question. On all of the GAs, FLs, etc I've worked on, when discussing home video releases its always been phrased along the lines of "X was released to DVD on..." or "to VHS" etc. I did the same when doing a rescue clean up List of Record of Lodoss War episodes and fixing up its lead. Another editor, who has noted that English is not his first language, changed it to "on DVD" claiming that its more popular because of the number of Google hits. To me, "to" still seems more grammatically correct than "on" but I told him I'd check with someone else to see. Thoughts? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 13:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations

Thought I'd drop by to say 'well done' for your splendid work at Emmeline Pankhurst. Terrific stuff. Your students are lucky to have you as a teacher. 81.156.175.153 (talk) 08:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Harry Potter Help

Hi there,

I saw your name under WP:PRV, and wondered if you could help me on the Harry Potter article. I saw that you specialise in books and such, so was wondering if you have any experience in:

• Structure and genre
• Themes
• Copy editing (if you get the time!)

These were the points that came up on the Failed FAC (see down at the very bottom). Any comments or input that you can add would be greatly appreciated.

Please reply on my talk page.

Thanks, The Helpful One ^Review 20:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

OK thanks, not a problem. The Helpful One ^Review 20:47, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
