Hi,
I've been looking for someone to help copyedit the Xbox Live Arcade article (which is in peer review here). User:Jappalang suggested an experienced copyeditor go over the prose and recommended me to check out the FA-Team. I saw your name listed as good with video game articles, I was wondering if maybe you can give it a quick look over/copyedit? Thanks. SeanMooney ( talk) 02:09, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Yep, that's about half of the point. Thanks for your help, I'm going to need it. I'll be working with you on this, but I can't be on all the time so I really need some help with this.
Anyway, let me explain some things about how I've got this planned out to be done:
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. After I'm done with this list, List of Sega Mega Drive games is up, but there's a move request I made some time ago that has not been fulfilled yet.

This article is kind of getting out of hand. We need to come up with a strategy to deal with this product and the separate but similar Uru: Ages Beyond Myst that incorporates all of the relevant information without getting into too much of the small details. I'm mostly looking at the formatting of the MOUL article and the wayyy in-universe details, and I don't much like it. If you have any ideas for this, I can try to help out with it. I'm working 12hrs/7days a week right now, but I'll be as helpful as possible. You've done most of the work on the other Myst game articles, so I'd like to help out in any way I can. — OranL ( talk) 22:28, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
←Generally I would say no to forums, even when it's supposedly a bigwig or whatever, unless there is a sure-fire way to prove it is in fact, the bigwig in question (otherwise, who's to say its not an imposter, etc.) And proving its them is often devilishly difficult. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 21:27, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, David. This is about your evidence in the Geogre/WMC RFAr. You're a strong content contributor, an FA writer, a logical guy, so I was a bit surprised by the way you wrote on the RFAr page. I read the FAC pages some. In fact, I used to contribute some, before I was discouraged by the IRC RFAr. But perhaps it's in the eye of the beholder, my seeing a contrast between your demeanors at WP:FAC and at WP:RFAr. I was taken aback by your scornful and dismissive tone, too, considering that the three of us (Geogre, Giano, Bishonen) have contributed quite a bit to the project. Especially Geogre. (If you're interested, you can cast a glance at his userpage.) Anyway.. I came here to tell you that I've posted a brief comment about your comment, in my own evidence section. Bishonen | talk 20:22, 8 July 2008 (UTC).
As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible) system - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:51, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I was just looking at the article you added as a comment in the article for the cultural impact section. I couldn't find the part in there about bringing in women to play games.

For your interest in the Military sociology article. I see you have added a ref ( [2]) to an unrefernced para one of the students wrote. Are you sure it verified all of the facts in the para? If not, perhaps you could consider creating your own para and tagging the student's para as unreferenced and/or commenting on talk; I want the students to be aware that they need to reference the info the add to the article.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:49, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Per WP:Policies and guidelines"A failed proposal is one for which consensus for acceptance has not developed after a reasonable time period. Consensus need not be fully opposed; if consensus is neutral or unclear on the issue and unlikely to improve, the proposal has likewise failed. It is considered bad form to hide this fact, e.g. by removing the tag. Making small changes will not change this fact, nor will repetitive arguments. Generally it is wiser to rewrite a failed proposal from scratch and start in a different direction."
Why isn't some one in admin enforcing this very clear policy at Fiction? Please evaluate the recent RfC and realize that this proposal continues by sheer will of only a handful of diehards in defiance of policy and consensus. -- Kevin Murray ( talk) 22:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Your distinguished research ability, hard working and pleasant attitude has readers like me in awe. I've been coming across your work while reading FAC nominations and I'm really thankful that there are people like you here who continue to improve wikipedia's content in such a fine and efficient manner. Keep up the great work! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.142.184 ( talk) 20:36, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi David, regarding your edits in this series of diffs, I wanted to raise two issues. First, in several instances, you replace full citations with "[[#qc archive|Jacques, Jeph]]." and a link to a QC strip. These "#qc archive" links go nowhere...were you trying to link to the lower generic citation? Second, you changed "work" to "publisher" in a couple of places, and I believe this to be inappropriate (not a big deal, of course, but not correct). The publisher is the company sponsoring or financially responsible for the publication, whereas the work is the publication itself. For example, this article is part of the work DailyCollegian.com, which is published by the University of Massachusetts (or possibly College Publisher, depending on how you look at it). Because the actual publisher isn't always known (or, as in this case, somewhat obfuscated), it is best to use the work field rather than publisher, and write in the website URL or publication title. Clear as mud? ;) — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 20:43, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, David. I have taken actions on your issues raised at Conan's FAC. The first two, I am asking for copyeditor AnnaFrance's input. For the others, I have rewrote the relevant article text. Please take a look and check if the changes improved the article. Thank you. Jappalang ( talk) 21:33, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Your distinguished research ability, hard working and pleasant attitude has readers like me in awe. I've been coming across your work while reading FAC nominations and I'm really thankful that there are people like you here who continue to improve wikipedia's content in such a fine and efficient manner. Keep up the great work! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.142.184 ( talk) 20:36, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi David, regarding your edits in this series of diffs, I wanted to raise two issues. First, in several instances, you replace full citations with "[[#qc archive|Jacques, Jeph]]." and a link to a QC strip. These "#qc archive" links go nowhere...were you trying to link to the lower generic citation? Second, you changed "work" to "publisher" in a couple of places, and I believe this to be inappropriate (not a big deal, of course, but not correct). The publisher is the company sponsoring or financially responsible for the publication, whereas the work is the publication itself. For example, this article is part of the work DailyCollegian.com, which is published by the University of Massachusetts (or possibly College Publisher, depending on how you look at it). Because the actual publisher isn't always known (or, as in this case, somewhat obfuscated), it is best to use the work field rather than publisher, and write in the website URL or publication title. Clear as mud? ;) — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 20:43, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
