Copy edit request[edit]

I know that you are a stickler for rules, evident from previous discussions, but I wouldn't be doing justice to myself if I don't even request you. Can you please be urgent with the copy-editing of Zamia pygmaea. I need it copy edited for DYK. Hope you could make an exception just this once. I have already put forth an request on GOCE noticeboard. My sincere thanks to you.--Ankit (Talk with me) 00:51, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Thanks for checking Carson William Beck! I really appreciate it. Just wondering, could you also check Impact of the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic on prisons? If not that’s fine. Stay safe and well, --Total Eclipse 2017 (talk) (Origin of the username) 19:14, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Total Eclipse 2017: Happy to. The Guild really appreciates your help! Stay safe yourself. Cheers, Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:36, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I’m happy to help, so this arrangement works. Can I just say that the leaderboard is a great motivator during drives? Stay safe and well, --Total Eclipse 2017 (talk) (Origin of the username) 19:51, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Total Eclipse 2017: I did a quick pass through the article. There were some wording, tense, and date format consistency issues but nothing serious. One final pass through an article after you've finished your copy edit would catch most of this. Regards, Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:48, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for reviewing it! Sorry to be flooding you coordinators with so many articles to review-I just have nothing to do today... Stay safe and well, --Total Eclipse 2017 (talk) (Origin of the username) 21:50, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit problem?[edit]

Twofingered Typist, the template you added in this edit doesn't seem to exist. Maybe you added an "x" at the end of the template name? I figured you'd want to fix it. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:22, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@BlueMoonset: My bad, I should have previewed the change first! Thanks for the heads up. Cheers Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:34, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests/Ecem Güzel[edit]

Hi! My request as of 2020-04-17 for copyediting of Ecem Güzel was handled, and was archived now as completed on 2020-05-08. Thank you very much for your efforts. However, the reviewer Kingsif of my DYK-nom is not happy with the status of the article. He is also waiting for the "Done"-tick. İs there something you can do because there is no progress at this time. CeeGee 08:12, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I said I was waiting for it to be checked, as the user said they were new to copyediting and it needed a check. Perhaps ask for that check instead of complaining. Kingsif (talk) 15:24, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Kingsif: I'm NOT complaining. I reviewed the copy edit as requested; it has already been archived. I don't understand what you want. It has been checked. Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:34, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The comment was intended for CeeGee, I'm sure you can see why. At the DYK I mentioned that your review of the copy edit improved it, so thanks. Kingsif (talk) 15:49, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
{@Kingsif: No problem. Cheers, Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:52, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Kingsif: It was not a complain. I wanted my DYK-nom to be processed. If you feel it as a complain it is your problem. Please stick with the review when you start one. No one knows what you do. CeeGee 17:39, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you![edit]

The Special Barnstar
For your excellent copyedits of Cheetah, a long and highly important article, and Canada lynx. Cheetah in particular won't have been an easy article to tackle, which makes your work even more impressive. I have learnt a lot from your edits and I wish to thank you for all you do as an editor. Cheers! Sainsf (t · c) 14:46, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Sainsf: Thank you so much! Twofingered Typist (talk)
