A barnstar for you![edit]

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Thanks for copyediting an off-the-charts amount of articles during the GOCE drives and blitzes! Without you, it would be much harder to keep that backlog down. Keep editing! -- Ben79487 18:08, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ben79487: Thanks!! I appreciate this. Twofingered Typist (talk) 18:36, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A natural Most Excellent Order of the Caretaker's Star (i.e.: without bonuses), and dare I mention that you have now accumulated a million rollover words? – Reidgreg (talk) 18:50, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Reidgreg: Thanks for these. Too bad the rollover words can't be redeemed for merchandise! :-) Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:01, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weed the People[edit]

Thanks for taking another look at this article. There were a few changes made during the GA review I wasn't sure about, so having the added pair of eyes again is very helpful. Happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:51, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: You're welcome, I'm always happy to help out. I often have to restrain myself (for the most part) from looking at active GA reviews of articles I've edited because of the incredible b.s. that often happens during the review. I know it's not the suggested order, but I almost prefer doing my copy edit after the article receives its GA designation. Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:59, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Twofingered Typist, Good to know! ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:00, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A pie for you![edit]

I am almost jealous of the speed with which you complete the copy editing drives! Reaching out as a fellow copy editor :) How do you manage to do this? Csgir (talk) 12:49, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Csgir: Thank you for the pie! I probably spend more time on here than I should. But in winter when it's cold and there's snow on the ground editing here is a great way to pass the time. Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:08, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
