Thanks for your copy edits on the Agatha Christie article. :) ~ RLO1729 💬 12:46, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello:
F.Y.I. Even though I placed the GOCE tag on Agatha Christie and neglected to remove it yesterday (my bad), because you had made some edits your user name appeared in the tag. Hence my request. I did not realise this is how the tag works. Regards, Twofingered Typist ( talk) 13:34, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi, we seem to have come back to the article at the same time. Please continue with your edits and I'll make mine when you're finished. Cheers, ~ RLO1729 💬 13:13, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
PS: In the lead, the revision to In September 2015, on her 125th birthday, And Then There Were None was named the "World's Favourite Christie" in a vote sponsored by the author's estate. is not quite correct. The previous text coinciding with her 125th birthday was intended to account for the fact that the "naming" did not occur exactly "on" her birthday. Is there a better way to express this? ~ RLO1729 💬 13:26, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for your edits, great work. I'll add some questions/comments below as they arise:
There's got to be a more neutral and elegant way to say this. I'm about to raise why we don't mention the original title of And Then There Were None in article talk. Then I really am going to get off to bed! -- 84.64.237.205 ( talk) 00:36, 1 July 2020 (UTC)In 2015, in honour of the 125th anniversary of her birth, twenty-five contemporary mystery writers and one publisher gave their views on Christie's works. Many of the authors had read Christie's novels first, before other mystery writers, in English or in their native language, influencing their own writing, and nearly all still viewed her as the "Queen of Crime" and creator of the plot twists used by mystery authors. Nearly all had one or more favourites among Christie's mysteries and found her books still good to read nearly 100 years after her first novel was published. Just one of the twenty-five authors held with Wilson's views.[137] my emphasis

Not sure if you get into this sort of thing but thanks for great copy editing anyway! ~ RLO1729 💬 02:49, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
I wondered if you would care to give any of these articles a pre-FAC review: George Insole, James Harvey Insole, James John Joicey. Cheers, ~ RLO1729 💬 04:58, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Many thanks! Glad there weren't too many issues!
Just saw your comments on the article's talk page - thanks. I'll respond there. ~ RLO1729 💬 01:33, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
If you're up for it, I have also taken the following (shorter) articles to GA and would appreciate you casting your eye over any of them that take your interest (of course, also OK if that's none). I have just given them the once over myself, trying to put into practice everything I have learnt recently during this copy edit spree but you may well pick up other things I have missed.
Your thoughts on which of these (if any) might be worth pushing forward to FAC would also be appreciated. Thanks. ~ RLO1729 💬 06:08, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
