Hi Ravenpuff ... been a while since I've been doing this, I hope you're well. There are differences of opinion on those commas, but I'm sure your removal of the commas would fly if we get rid of "Governor" etc. ... what would you think of "his wife Rose McConnell Long, his son Russell B. Long, and his brother Earl Long, among others."? - Dank (push to talk) 03:53, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Dank, hope all's well. Personally I'm rather ambivalent about including the job titles in this sentence – they definitely give useful background context to the political achievements of other members of the family, but also makes the phrasing a little more awkward, of course. For what it's worth, I did replicate my changes on the featured article itself, where the additional detail of job titles is probably worth keeping. There hasn't been any objection there, but I wouldn't be opposed to modifying the blurb as you suggested even if this introduces a slight discrepancy with the article lead. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 17:21, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
- Make sense, and let me know if there's anything else I can help with. - Dank (push to talk) 17:27, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

POTD
This was not a good edit! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:32, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Nor was this, nor the four edits you made to the other denominations pages which removed the word "issue" from the blurb, sparking a main page error report. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:31, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: Apologies for this – I was working on rather little sleep at that time, and should've taken a little more time with my edits for the POTD. Copying blurbs over multiple subpages naturally exacerbated the typos. Thanks for letting me know. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 17:12, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Most of what you do is fine, but you need to check it carefully before saving. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:39, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

| Your edits at the prep sets of DYK may seem small, but they have a huge impact on me and on DYK—thanks for covering for my grammar-poor ass over and over again, and the ass of the prep set promoters before me :). You're awesome, and I really appreciate all the hard work you do! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 22:42, 18 September 2021 (UTC) |

Lot of cooks in the kitchen with this one and there's a long history, so I'm recommending caution and soliciting opinions early. Suggestions? It's impossible to completely avoid the WP:EGG problem ... but I prefer what we've got now to some wordier alternatives. - Dank (push to talk) 15:47, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
