Template:Welcomeg (decided to shorten this a bit: lots of handy links but it kind of clogs the whole talk page :P Mathijsvs ( talk) 23:40, 12 January 2013 (UTC) )
Nice job on this article; the subcontinental ones can be difficult (I worked like a dog copyediting Uttar Pradesh once, only to have all my edits reverted without explanation). A few observations:
- Contractions like it's instead of it is make an article look unencyclopedic.
- Try not to link sentence phrases with and unless the second phrase logically follows the first; while a series of short, choppy sentences should be combined if possible, sometimes short is good :-).
- While mdy (month, day, year—"American-style") dates have a comma after the day, dmy (British-style) dates do not.
Thanks very much for your help; it's needed! All the best, Mini apolis 21:05, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback, really need it to keep an eye on how good I'm doing ;) Steadily working on Jean Monnet right now, I'll keep an eye on your remarks! Mathijsvs ( talk) 23:23, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Mathijsvs, Dishonored has now passed the GA process so is clear for copy editing towards an eventual FA move. Darkwarriorblake ( talk) 11:11, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Kanban copy edit
Hi Mathijsvs. This is just to let you know that Kanban, which you have in your "working" list for the drive, has now been copy edited by another editor. If you want to avoid this another time, putting the {{ GOCEinuse}} tag on the article before you start would do the trick. Best regards, -- Stfg ( talk) 10:06, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- All the better, I had some trouble getting through it anyway ;) Mathijsvs ( talk) 13:07, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Thanks for your substantial copy edits to Khoja Zufar. I did some additional ce in this edit. Here are a few notes:
- When the subject has this many names, check that the article refers to him consistently, preferably by the common surname (where this will not cause ambiguity), which is typically in the article title.
- You don't have to link common terms like general. (see WP:OVERLINKING)
- When giving month-year, you don't need a comma. So
In February, 1531
→In February 1531
( MOS:DATE). - Watch for punctuation at references; the punctuation should almost always come before the reference.
- A large quote should be put in a block quote ( MOS:BQ). Here, I used {{ Verse translation}}.
- kids → children, for more formal tone (and less ambiguity)
I also reorganized the article a bit; I found the large section a bit confusing in how it ordered events, and felt his name should be clarified at the beginning of the article rather than at the end. – Reidgreg ( talk) 10:18, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Template:Welcomeg (decided to shorten this a bit: lots of handy links but it kind of clogs the whole talk page :P Mathijsvs ( talk) 23:40, 12 January 2013 (UTC) )
Nice job on this article; the subcontinental ones can be difficult (I worked like a dog copyediting Uttar Pradesh once, only to have all my edits reverted without explanation). A few observations:
- Contractions like it's instead of it is make an article look unencyclopedic.
- Try not to link sentence phrases with and unless the second phrase logically follows the first; while a series of short, choppy sentences should be combined if possible, sometimes short is good :-).
- While mdy (month, day, year—"American-style") dates have a comma after the day, dmy (British-style) dates do not.
Thanks very much for your help; it's needed! All the best, Mini apolis 21:05, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback, really need it to keep an eye on how good I'm doing ;) Steadily working on Jean Monnet right now, I'll keep an eye on your remarks! Mathijsvs ( talk) 23:23, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Mathijsvs, Dishonored has now passed the GA process so is clear for copy editing towards an eventual FA move. Darkwarriorblake ( talk) 11:11, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Kanban copy edit
Hi Mathijsvs. This is just to let you know that Kanban, which you have in your "working" list for the drive, has now been copy edited by another editor. If you want to avoid this another time, putting the {{ GOCEinuse}} tag on the article before you start would do the trick. Best regards, -- Stfg ( talk) 10:06, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- All the better, I had some trouble getting through it anyway ;) Mathijsvs ( talk) 13:07, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Thanks for your substantial copy edits to Khoja Zufar. I did some additional ce in this edit. Here are a few notes:
- When the subject has this many names, check that the article refers to him consistently, preferably by the common surname (where this will not cause ambiguity), which is typically in the article title.
- You don't have to link common terms like general. (see WP:OVERLINKING)
- When giving month-year, you don't need a comma. So
In February, 1531
→In February 1531
( MOS:DATE). - Watch for punctuation at references; the punctuation should almost always come before the reference.
- A large quote should be put in a block quote ( MOS:BQ). Here, I used {{ Verse translation}}.
- kids → children, for more formal tone (and less ambiguity)
I also reorganized the article a bit; I found the large section a bit confusing in how it ordered events, and felt his name should be clarified at the beginning of the article rather than at the end. – Reidgreg ( talk) 10:18, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
