Ian.thomson I just wondered what you thought of these edits, and the ones just previous to them by the same editor, to Mithraism. After all the changes, I wonder if the only really useful change will turn out be the addition of "Greek/Latin". Are the slight changes in wording an improvement, or not?
Also, while at first I thought the linking of "CIMRM" in the section Mithraism#Lion-headed figure was appropriate, I see that the full name of the text is introduced in a later section, Mithraism#Earliest archaeology. Shouldn't the first mention of a text be written out in full (and linked)? Or do you think it's all right the way it is? – Corinne ( talk) 02:19, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

EEng I hadn't looked at your user page in a while, so I was looking at the pictures and reading the captions, etc., just now. I noticed that in the caption for the image at the left in the section "Museum of Separated At Birth, Pt. 3", you have "organutans" instead of "orangutans". Given the subject matter of nearby sections, it might have been intentional, but I thought I'd point it out in case it wasn't. Of course, it probably doesn't matter either way... ;) – Corinne ( talk) 17:09, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

LouisAragon I was just looking at the latest edits to Sol Invictus, and I'd like to ask you about something:
1) The editor changed "274 AD" to {{sm|a.d.}}274. Can you tell me:
2) Can you or User:Natalie.Desautels explain something to me? The editor changed "A" to "À", apparently correcting the French. I can understand that. But the editor changed "," to ":" before the final phrase. I thought that "à propos" meant "regarding", but Google translates it as "about". I don't understand the title of the article. Is Paul Fest a person? Why would "about Paul Fest" or even "regarding Paul Fest" be there? Is the change from "," to ":" correct? I cannot access the source. It appears that the editor knows what s/he is doing, and probably has access to the source, but can someone explain the title of this work? It's in Note 31. – Corinne ( talk) 18:45, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Corinne, could you look at this edit in which I reverted the removal of a wiktionary link? I don't understand the other person's point of view, and would be glad of an opinion from a skilled copyeditor such as yourself. Sminthopsis84 ( talk) 14:23, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
Articles explaining words of technical terms, jargon or slang expressions/phrases—but you could also provide a concise definition instead of or in addition to a link. If there is no appropriate Wikipedia article, an interwikimedia link to Wiktionary could be used.
A good question to ask yourself is whether reading the article you're about to link to would help someone understand the article you are linking from. Unless a term is particularly relevant to the context in the article, the following are not usually linked:
Consider linking "price" and "goods" only if these common words have technical dimensions that are specifically relevant to the topic.

08:38, 18 November 2016 (UTC)Hi, Corinne. Have you noticed the extraordinary number of instances of "led" (past tense and past participle of the verb "to lead") mis-spelled as "lead"? Maybe some editors are assuming the verb conjugates like the verb "to read". This mis-spelling is now quite common in other media, even in quality newspapers. I've corrected some hundreds of cases, but I'm sure there must be thousands more. Searching for phrases which are particularly likely to be mis-spelled (such as "was lead", "been lead" and "lead to believe") saves time, but I've just about run out of examples. The next step would have to be a search for just the word "lead", which brings up tens of thousands of hits. Any suggestions? Maybe a bot could identify likely candidates? 185.14.214.94 ( talk) 19:47, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
eliminate articles where "lead" is probably the correct spelling.

Checkingfax or an ( talk page stalker)s, I just finished making some copy-edits to William Ellery Channing. I may try to break up a few long sentences, but in the meantime, I need help with references. Since I believe the MOS in general discourages mentioning the titles of sources in the article text itself, I removed one source in this edit, in the "Later years" section (note the tag), but I don't know how to add it to the references. I left the pages numbers there in the text; I guess those should be removed, too. Also, I notice that a reference just before that is an external link, but I don't know what to do with that. I won't edit the article for a while, so feel free to work on it (or, if you have the patience, explain it to me, but I'd just as soon not have to do it). ;) Thanks. – Corinne ( talk) 23:51, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

23:19, 28 November 2016 (UTC)Hi! I saw you were a coordinator on the guild of copyeditors and that you have ESL experience on your user page. Would you mind chiming in on my talk page for The Truth of Muhammad. A new editor is taking issues with some of edits I made to his prose to make it readable. The article is at AfD now, but the claim is that it is an Arabic concept that doesn't have many English-language sources. I !voted delete at the AfD, but want to try to make it look as good as possible so the author has a shot of explaining why they think it should be included.

Hello, Florian Blaschke -- I was just looking at the latest to Leopard, and I was puzzled by the material in the new version. I was wondering if you could explain to me what IPAc is, and why the sounds are separated by pipes.

Corinne, hello and thank you for your interest at Fake news website.
Unfortunately, your revert which you may have done from your view to make grammar changes as you had been previously summoned to do so and make that revert -- but your revert also undid massive amounts of content additions.
Instead of reverting, could you please discuss individual concerns with me and others, at the article's talk page?
Maybe that way we could come to a better understanding?
Perhaps we can be more specific and hammer out a good consensus that way?
Thank you ! Sagecandor ( talk) 02:10, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
In the grand scheme of things, the copy editing part should really be no big deal. Sorry if I blew it out of proportion. Thanks for your interest and I sincerely hope in the future we can engage in a more active, polite, and fruitful give and take discussion.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2016 News
![]() Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2016 GOCE newsletter. We had an October newsletter all set to go, but it looks like we never pushed the button to deliver it, so this one contains a few months of updates. We have been busy and successful! Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: Nominations are open for election of Coordinators for the first half of 2017. Please visit the election page to nominate yourself or another editor, and then return after December 15 to vote. Thanks for participating! September Drive: The September drive was fruitful. We set out to remove July through October 2015 from our backlog (an ambitious 269 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of oldest articles to just 83. We reduced our overall backlog by 97 articles, even with new copyedit tags being added to articles every day. We also handled 75% of the remaining Requests from August 2016. Overall, 19 editors recorded copy edits to 233 articles (over 378,000 words). October Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme was Requests, since the backlog was getting a bit long. Of the 16 editors who signed up, 10 editors completed 29 requests. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. November Drive: The November drive was a record-breaker! We set out to remove September through December 2015 from our backlog (239 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of old articles to just 66, eliminating the two oldest months! We reduced our overall backlog by 523 articles, to a new record low of 1,414 articles, even with new tags being added to articles every day, which means we removed copy-editing tags from over 800 articles. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from October 2016. Officially, 14 editors recorded copy edits to 200 articles (over 312,000 words), but over 600 articles, usually quick fixes and short articles, were not recorded on the drive page. Housekeeping note: we do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your Watchlist. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdslk. |

I see my edit has been undone with the pretty much the same edit summary as before. It almost looks as if the editor never even read what I wrote here. Whatever. It's not that important. – Corinne ( talk) 23:44, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your thorough and comprehensive copyediting. I think, the article is ready now for GAN. Have a nice day! Borsoka ( talk) 02:51, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
Miniapolis I've just finished copy-editing Shaker Seed Company. I don't like the text of the captions centered. I'd like to make it flush left. How can I do that? Does the gallery have to be "packed"? – Corinne ( talk) 01:43, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
P.S. I tried to add the GOCE template {{GOCE|user={{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|date={{subst:date}}}} after that last WikiProject, but couldn't get it so that it is hidden and shows "Show" at the right side like the others, without the DYK thing at the end disappearing. What is that "1" at the end of the WikiProject banner shell? – Corinne ( talk) 01:50, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the copy edit, I had previously done some of my own, but I wanted a second pair of eyes before it got reviewed, anyways, thanks! Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 20:32, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Checkingfax or an ( talk page stalker)s, I just finished making some copy-edits to William Ellery Channing. I may try to break up a few long sentences, but in the meantime, I need help with references. Since I believe the MOS in general discourages mentioning the titles of sources in the article text itself, I removed one source in this edit, in the "Later years" section (note the tag), but I don't know how to add it to the references. I left the pages numbers there in the text; I guess those should be removed, too. Also, I notice that a reference just before that is an external link, but I don't know what to do with that. I won't edit the article for a while, so feel free to work on it (or, if you have the patience, explain it to me, but I'd just as soon not have to do it). ;) Thanks. – Corinne ( talk) 23:51, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

23:19, 28 November 2016 (UTC)Hi! I saw you were a coordinator on the guild of copyeditors and that you have ESL experience on your user page. Would you mind chiming in on my talk page for The Truth of Muhammad. A new editor is taking issues with some of edits I made to his prose to make it readable. The article is at AfD now, but the claim is that it is an Arabic concept that doesn't have many English-language sources. I !voted delete at the AfD, but want to try to make it look as good as possible so the author has a shot of explaining why they think it should be included.

Hello, Florian Blaschke -- I was just looking at the latest to Leopard, and I was puzzled by the material in the new version. I was wondering if you could explain to me what IPAc is, and why the sounds are separated by pipes. Those are not syllables, so how does the separation with pipes help someone with pronunciation? – Corinne ( talk) 15:11, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
Corinne, hello and thank you for your interest at Fake news website.
Unfortunately, your revert which you may have done from your view to make grammar changes as you had been previously summoned to do so and make that revert -- but your revert also undid massive amounts of content additions.
Instead of reverting, could you please discuss individual concerns with me and others, at the article's talk page?
Maybe that way we could come to a better understanding?
Perhaps we can be more specific and hammer out a good consensus that way?
Thank you ! Sagecandor ( talk) 02:10, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
In the grand scheme of things, the copy editing part should really be no big deal. Sorry if I blew it out of proportion. Thanks for your interest and I sincerely hope in the future we can engage in a more active, polite, and fruitful give and take discussion.

Hello, Corinne. Its been a while. How are things going with you? I have graduated from college (Bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering) just recently. I have planned my next GA,
Paava Mannippu. I have posted a copyedit request under the December 2016 section of
Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. Do let me know if you would give a good copyedit by pinging me. Thanks.

EEng I was just skimming your talk page for the first time in a while, and enjoying all the wit. I thought you might enjoy the edit summary for this edit. Is that normal language for repairing a dead link, or is this an unusual way to say it? I hadn't seen anything like this edit summary before, and I thought it was funny. – Corinne ( talk) 04:50, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
Guild of Copy Editors December 2016 News
![]() Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2016 GOCE newsletter. We had an October newsletter all set to go, but it looks like we never pushed the button to deliver it, so this one contains a few months of updates. We have been busy and successful! Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: Nominations are open for election of Coordinators for the first half of 2017. Please visit the election page to nominate yourself or another editor, and then return after December 15 to vote. Thanks for participating! September Drive: The September drive was fruitful. We set out to remove July through October 2015 from our backlog (an ambitious 269 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of oldest articles to just 83. We reduced our overall backlog by 97 articles, even with new copyedit tags being added to articles every day. We also handled 75% of the remaining Requests from August 2016. Overall, 19 editors recorded copy edits to 233 articles (over 378,000 words). October Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme was Requests, since the backlog was getting a bit long. Of the 16 editors who signed up, 10 editors completed 29 requests. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. November Drive: The November drive was a record-breaker! We set out to remove September through December 2015 from our backlog (239 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of old articles to just 66, eliminating the two oldest months! We reduced our overall backlog by 523 articles, to a new record low of 1,414 articles, even with new tags being added to articles every day, which means we removed copy-editing tags from over 800 articles. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from October 2016. Officially, 14 editors recorded copy edits to 200 articles (over 312,000 words), but over 600 articles, usually quick fixes and short articles, were not recorded on the drive page. Housekeeping note: we do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your Watchlist. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdslk. |

Hawkeye7 What do you think about this edit to Richard Feynman? The editor characterizes M. G-M's comments about R.F. as a "personal attack", but if it is factual, and relevant, shouldn't it stay in the article? Have you been reviewing all the other edits by the same editor? I thought the article was in pretty good shape a few months ago. – Corinne ( talk) 16:14, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
