Battle of Kliszów copy edit
Hi Exobiotic, welcome to the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE). I'm Baffle gab1978, a GOCE project coordinator. Thank you for your work on the copy-edit request for Battle of Kliszów; if you plan to continue your c/e, please let us know on the Requests page (REQ) here. If you don't want to continue, please mark the request partly done so we can give you joint credit credit in our archive and someone else can pick up the c/e. If you've any questions, you can ask at the Guild's Requests talk page. Thanks for your understanding. Cheers,  Baffle☿gab  00:22, 25 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, thanks for the follow up! I marked it as partly done. Exobiotic 💬 ✒️ 03:09, 26 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, Exobiotic, thanks for your work so far on the c/e for this article. I will be reviewing the article for GA, but don't intend to begin the process until the copy editing is done. Can you please let me know on my talk page when you have finished? Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 07:53, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I got as far as I could with it; I would keep it on the requests page and hopefully someone else will take it up. You could try to find someone at WP:WikiProject Military history who has more subject expertise. Good work so far, and good luck! Exobiotic 💬 ✒️ 12:10, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm continuing this c/e, which has been straightforward so far and hopefully will continue thus. I'll be finished in a few days and I'll indicate in my edit summary when I'm done. I'm posting here to avoid splitting the discussion; Exobiotic I hope you don't mind me posting here! Cheers,  Baffle☿gab  01:06, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I've now finished my copy-edit; the GA nomination can proceed. Cheers,  Baffle☿gab  02:57, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Chart making tools
From c:Commons:Chart and graph resources is this:

Convert data to SVG charts and graphs:
 * c:User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG: Overview description and list of chart types
 * c:Category:SVG diagrams created with spreadsheet: charts created using the spreadsheets

I can see uses for a single chart of deaths both on and off Wikipedia. --Timeshifter (talk) 05:01, 14 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I'm busy today and won't be able to get to it for at least 6 hours. I made a chart without the numbers on top of the bars in Canva and was going to add them using gimp, but this looks like a much better solution. Exobiotic 💬 ✒️ 14:22, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Great! The charts keep being deleted by one person with the same bogus reason. See diff. I think some people just don't want people to see that far more Palestinian civilians have been killed over time than Israeli civilians. Removing the charts for that reason violates WP:NPOV and is an example of WP:Systemic bias. See:
 * 2023 Israel–Hamas war
 * --Timeshifter (talk) 06:16, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Someone made a combined chart, and put it in the article. See diff. See: --Timeshifter (talk) 16:28, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Spelling
Hi! I saw you had added the Meitei transliteration of  in the article Manipur. The spelling is actually wrong. The correct spelling is . If you had relied on Google Translate, then please be aware that Google Translate for Meitei language is good only in translation, but not in transliteration. And there's a wikipedia rule called WP:NOINDIC, suggesting not to add Indian scripts in lead as much as possible. In case if you want to remove the text, please do not remove the entire information but make sure to restore the previous Latin alphabet spelling version. Thank you! Haoreima (talk) 13:08, 25 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for correcting that! My main concern was removing the unusual Latin formatting; I can revert to that. Exobiotic 💬 ✒️ 13:38, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
