GOCE invitation
Hi Drianmcdonald, I'm Baffle_gab1978, a coordinator at the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE). I saw your edits at Molecular diagnostics and wondered whether you'd like to join the Guild. The article is currently awaiting a GOCE copy-edit, requested here by another editor. May I ask whether you intend to further expand the article? If so, a copy-edit is probably pointless at the moment and the request can be declined. Meanwhile, I'll wish you happy editing and I hope you decide to stay around. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 05:51, 1 October 2013 (UTC)


 * After the work you did turning that article form a load of incomprehensible 'stuff' to an article that is worthy of its place here I commend the invitation to you. Fiddle   Faddle  08:59, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Citing a segment of a journal article that's in Wikisource
As I was reading a letter relevant to Jain vegetarianism, I noticed it was on Wikisource. So I thought I'd add it as a reference.

It's included in a 1933 journal article (which is what I was reading). But the Wikisource cite templates seem to assume that if your article is part of something else (eg a Journal) then the whole something else is part of the Wikisource URL.

Anyway, you can see my struggles in my May 12 revision to that page; in the end, I kludged it by including the necessary info the volume. But it'd be nice to know how to get both the correct Wikilink, and the correct Journal citation.


 * Hi Drianmcdonald. I've tweaked the citation a little using the "chapter", "plaintitle" and "editor" parameters. The problem here is you have a letter within an article within a book, and the template doesn't seem to support that degree of precision. Hopefully I've improved the situation a bit but it's not perfect so I'll leave the help notice up. benzband  ( talk ) 15:37, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * You might be able to get around the issue by using the template instead - cite the journal using that template and add the Wikisource link in the URL parameter. Just a thought. Yunshui 雲 水  10:31, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

It looked okay before I pressed save. Perhaps there was an accidental copy and paste with the mouse that I didn't notice? I'm not sure what happened, but that'll teach me to skip preview. Thank you for catching it. Ian McDonald (talk) 13:54, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
