Hi there Missy! Long time no see. I was thinking of you tonight as I was thinking of my Leadville, Colorado article and how much you helped me with it. J3, would you be interested in doing a copy edit for an article I mostly wrote, White Cliffs of Dover? At the very least it needs British English but perhaps a lot more. I don't know what came over me to write about something I know nothing about, not being English and all. I can only guess that I've always felt some sort of connection because when I was just a wee girl of four my daddy was injured in the war (WWII) and our country's emotional state was very strongly affected by news of the war, which I suppose made a strong impression on me, as young as I was. And then when I looked into it and saw the geological aspect, well it was right up my alley. I really enjoyed working on it. But I'm sure it could use a copy edit. Reading it right now I see that the lead seems a tad confusing which I will try to fix if you're not interested in doing a copy edit. Hoping all is well with you and I remember how enjoyable it was to connect with you for a short time. It would be so nice to be able to drop by for coffee (or tea? LOL, you being English and all...). Let me know. Gandydancer ( talk) 03:28, 11 April 2018 (UTC) Just read the article again. I see that the lead problem was something added and not something I did. Also, now I remember my connection as I read about the "bluebirds over the White Cliffs...". That song was very big in the U.S. at that time and I remembered it, which is the connection. Also, I see that the last four "In song...ect." have been added - please chop as you see fit. Gandydancer ( talk) 04:28, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Few initial thoughts, What do you think?
I'll do a bit more copyediting. J3Mrs ( talk) 19:06, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
Really sorry I wasn't around for a couple of days, I've been waiting for an engineer to fix my internet connection, and we've had good weather for the first time in months so had a day out. I see that during my absence the article has been edited by a real expert. I'm better at shuffling things about. I'm usually frank and now I'm back, I'll look at the other article. Thank you for looking at one of mine, I'll need to do some work there too!!!! J3Mrs ( talk) 09:27, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
J3, thanks for your work at the Archambault page. It is good to know that he now has a good article. About your articles, I was aware that many of them had to do with coal mining. I am wondering, are you per chance the daughter of a coal miner? As you likely know, most of our coal mining was done in the eastern parts of the US. I've never lived in a coal mining area, however my interest in the early unions in this country have made me somewhat familiar with coal mining. To this day coal miners are used like disposable machinery and now that the industry is almost extinct the many former miners have turned to drugs. See this article for example: [1] (I'd like to wring our goddamn current president's neck for not only giving them false hope that the industry will return but refusing to lay out any federal money for drug treatment and the other things they so desperately need.)
J3, I read another of your articles, Bank Hall Colliery. I kept wondering what on earth a "colliery" was since I've never run across it though I am fairly well-read. I looked it up and found this:
@Eric, are you kidding? Perhaps there are more talented people here but I don't know who they might be. As I said to J3, just because *I* don't write well doesn't mean I don't know it when I see it. It will be interesting to see what you do with the cliffs article. For now, Gandy Gandydancer ( talk) 15:18, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
Digress away! Gandydancer strikes me as the sort of person I can relate to, someone who edits whatever she likes, the banner is spot on. Jza84 was really helpful to me too, in a rather scary, encouraging but put me straight sort of way. I was sorry when he stopped editing.
I've just done something that some may regard as controversial, which is to introduce an infox so as to contain one of the map images at the top of the article. I wouldn't normally be an advocate for infoboxes, but in this case I think it works.
I've also combined two of the butterfly images into one, and this may the appropriate place to say that I've come down on the side of those who think that there are too many images, probably two too many. I'm going to leave the article for now, to let all that sink in. Eric Corbett 11:50, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

This editor would be surprised how often I think of her--some people just stand out and she, like Eric, is one of those people. Hi J3, I hope all is going well for you in these difficult times. Gandydancer ( talk) 18:08, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
J3Mrs are you coming back to Wikipedia? See the improvements to Thorncliffe, West Yorkshire and Old Lindley. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 16:07, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
Regarding Whitley Lower v Whitley, West Yorkshire I'd point out that there was also Whitley Upper which until 1 April 1938 was a parish and even urban district so while the area in general may be called just "Whitley" its right to use the settlement's name for the village and former CP while "Whitley Upper" for the former CP and urban district.
