Semi-protected edit request on 5 February 2017

Resolved

Under section development the picture for Tony Bennett has a caption saying performing in 20013 when it should be 2003 177.193.139.178 (talk) 18:56, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, my bad! I've fixed this typo. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:01, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Drones

Should we add this? GagaNutellatalk 23:58, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

This is already added, with the original source from Wired magazine. —IB [ Poke ] 05:46, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
True! Thank IB :) GagaNutellatalk 01:29, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Pandora

What is this? It seems very important tho. GagaNutellatalk 01:30, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Pandora music service has been included in Billboard charts from January 2017, hence the report. It will impact on the chart sales. —IB [ Poke ] 06:20, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
I got it. Thanks for adding! GagaNutellatalk 13:18, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Copy edit

I've request a copy edit for this article from the Guild of Copy Editors, as a step towards Good article status. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:20, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

You are a little too early. The article is still not finished adding content and information is still coming up. Lets not haste AB. —IB [ Poke ] 08:14, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
IB, there is nothing wrong with requesting a copy edit at any point in an article's development. Requesting a copy edit does not mean the article needs to be nominated for Good status sooner than later, or that ad additional copy edit cannot be requested in the future. Consider this just a request for article prose improvement. No big deal! :) ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:39, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
AB, you missed my point. Consider the scenario that if a Copyeditor does the prose copy edit now, and again I add more and more content to the article, maybe in the same sections. It would require another C/e and request at GOCE. That's why my thoughts are to have an article almost ready, so that the C/e is actually beneficial. You are correct that a GOCE request can be submitted at any given point of an article's development, however, how much benefit it would be when prose is expanding considerably, that's a question. —IB [ Poke ] 07:57, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
GOCE limits to 2 requests per person at any one time. I have other articles needing review, so I went ahead and removed the request for this article, especially given IndianBio's comment above. We can revisit GOCE once the article is done being expanded. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:45, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

I've requested a copy edit since the article has been nominated for Good status. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:21, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

It would probably be best to temporarily withdraw the GAN until GOCE has finished going through the article or a reviewer might deem this page unstable. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:47, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
Should not be a problem. I request reviews for GA-nominated articles all the time. ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:49, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Yeah its quite fine to have Goce while a nom is submitted. —IB [ Poke ] 02:49, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Category:2017 in LGBT history?

@IndianBio: Do you think adding Category:2017 in LGBT history is appropriate, given the "first" acknowledgement of LGBT community during Super Bowl? ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:33, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

@Another Believer: very appropriate. Thanks for pointing it out. —IB [ Poke ] 01:30, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 Done Great, sure thing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:34, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
