Trading Point
Hi Folklore1,

Thank you for reviewing my Trading Point article. As per your suggestion, I have edited the first paragraph to add information about notability, namely the number of countries served and the location of offices worldwide. You have also raised the issue of adding data such as dollar totals and transactions. However, as you will appreciate, practically all forex companies are privately held and do not disclose such information anywhere –even when you look at the Wikipedia articles of major forex companies like FxPro and Alpari Group, you will find there is no such information –however, this does not mean that these companies are not notable.

One more thing to note is that I created this article after being requested to do so by reviewer TimTrent. I had originally created only one an article about popular forex firm XM.com, which is owned by Trading Point, but Tim has asked me to break the article into two –the parent (Trading Point) and subsidiary (XM.com). The purpose of this is to make it easier for readers to distinguish the various entities. It is also worth mentioning that XM.com started as Trading Point before it was rebranded and that the Trading Point name is today used mostly as a corporate structure umbrella (holding company).

Last, I think that Trading Point is notable because it owns the very notable company XM.com, in a similar way that Unilever is notable because it owns Lipton tea and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Certainly, a much smaller number of people will know Unilever than they know Lipton tea, but people will find it more helpful to read a freestanding article about the corporate structure of Unilever; keeping everything about a holding company in one long article would be quite confusing.

Hope this addresses your comment. Thanks again for your help! Cmanoli (talk) 22:02, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on the Red LIne page
Just wanted to write to thank you for taking on the terrible task of making something coherent out of the Red Line page. It has been on my to-do list for a long time but it's just been so terrible that the thought really daunted me.

What are you thoughts about pruning some of the process-y parts back? In particular, the stuff about the debate in the assembly seems to me to be pretty moot at this point, since the state government has cohered around a particular vision of the line. --Jfruh (talk) 15:55, 3 February 2010 (UTC)


 * (I should add that I would be happy to take on any such pruning; I'm not writing you to say "Thanks for your work, here's another task for you!") --Jfruh (talk) 15:56, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

I've revised the Red Line article, trimming and summarizing the debate in the General Assembly, most of which is no longer relevant. Folklore1 (talk) 19:31, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Maryland Purple Line Diagram
On my user page, I've created route diagram to replace the current "WMATA Purple Line" route diagram. It's currently located at User:Folklore1/Maryland Purple Line Diagram. I do not know how to install my diagram in the existing Purple Line (Maryland) info box or, alternatively, how to find and edit the existing route diagram. Advice on how to find existing route diagrams and how to upload my own diagram to this location would be appreciated. Folklore1 (talk) 19:26, 5 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I think the diagram you are referring to is at Template:WMATA Purple Line. You can edit this template like any other page. Please note that the diagram was removed from Purple Line (Maryland), so you should add a reliable source if you plan on adding it back to the infobox. Regards  So Why  19:47, 5 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Hope it's OK if I butt in; Folklore1's variant on the map is based on the Locally Preferred Alternative and is labelled as such; a citation to that effect in the template should cover citation problems. Folklore, I added a similar diagram to the Baltimore Red Line article; just peek at the syntax of that article's infobox to see how I did it. --Jfruh (talk) 22:09, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I did get some ideas from the Baltimore Red Line diagram, which I applied to the Purple Line diagram. Thanks! My biggest confusion in this project was locating the files where the route diagrams were stored. I didn't realize that I simply needed to insert "Template:" in front of the label.

Re: Alexei Kondratiev

Western Maryland Railway
Hi. You excluded Talk:Western Maryland Railway from the Baltimore Task Force, stating "not located in Baltimore city." The WM operated in Baltimore City from 1873 until its dissolution a century later; see the History section of the article. Or is there some other criteria for inclusion in the Baltimore Task Force? Caseyjonz (talk) 02:54, 10 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Western Maryland Railroad did not actually enter the city of Baltimore. It served as a link to Western Maryland from Owings Mills, where the Northern Central Railway terminated. If we consider Baltimore County part of the Baltimore Task Force, then perhaps Western Maryland Railroad should be included. Otherwise, maybe it shouldn't. Of course, Northern Central, which did indeed enter the city, should be included, so I've added it. Folklore1 (talk) 20:33, 12 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure why you say the WM did not enter the city, when the article already states that it did. During 1857-72 the WM operated its own trains from Owings Mills into Baltimore through trackage rights over the the Northern Central line. (That point may not be obvious in the current article; I will revise that shortly.) Then, in 1873, to quote from the article, "...the WM built its own line from Owings Mills to Fulton Junction in Baltimore... It built a branch east of Union Station to Hillen Station, which opened in 1876 and became the company headquarters... In 1904 the WM completed construction of a large marine terminal at Port Covington, on the Patapsco River in Baltimore..." Fulton Jct. is near Fulton & Laurens Sts.; Hillen Station was on Hillen St., downtown. There is ample documentation for all of these WM facilities, some of which is provided in the article's references. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

Current asset
Hello, long-term assets redirect to fixed asset. Do you want to substitute it? Regards. 204.174.87.29 (talk) 21:15, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure. All fixed assets are long-term, but are all long-term assets fixed? Folklore1 (talk) 02:41, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

The Balance sheet article listed long-term intangibles in the fixed assets section of an example balance sheet. So it looks like long-term assets and fixed assets mean the same thing, and it would be okay to substitute the term fixed assets for long-term assets. Folklore1 (talk) 21:25, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador/GA2
Hi Folklore1. Thanks for your note on my talkpage. I'm happy to help, but there is a possible conflict of interest here, since I carried out the first GA review and expanded the lead after I'd closed the review, as the nominator did not find anyone else able to help. Could you clarify in a bit more detail what you would like me to do? I'm happy to help with changes and/or give advice, but I should not be doing "significant changes" at the same time as giving advice. We should be able to work this out without too much trouble, but I think the "ground rules" need to be clarified at that start. Pyrotec (talk) 20:35, 12 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Perhaps I should clarify. My suggested edits were [here] I did not work on the article itself: but the lead may well contain some of my work. Pyrotec (talk) 08:24, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

A bot has reverted the article back to B. Newfoundlander&amp;Labradorian (talk) 18:45, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm trying to approve a GA review for St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, but I'm having difficulty with the GA templates at the top of its talk page. This seems to have triggered a revert by a bot. Folklore1 (talk) 22:09, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Not a revert - looks like the bot has added "August 9, 2011 	Good article nominee 	Listed" to the Article Milestones, but it appears to have grabbed the version before your edit - maybe it took too long and you got yours in first (i.e. an edit conflict) - suggest raise issue at User talk:Gimmetrow (bot's talk page owner)  Ron h jones (Talk) 00:27, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

User:Gimmetrow hasn't edited for a few days (he seems to pop in and out), you could use the e-mail link on his user page, to see if he's around. The bot seems convinced to add "action4" - well let it have it for now, I've tried leaving it in and re-adding your edit above it. See what happens. If it all goes wrong again, and you can't raise Gimmetrow, we may have to block the bot.  Ron h jones (Talk) 21:44, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! After your edit, I noticed that there is just one GA box on the talk page. Perhaps the bot was trying (as best it could) to eliminate the double GA boxes left on the page when I approved the 2nd GA nomination? Folklore1 (talk) 23:10, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject Maryland

Some of the edits you made on the Baltimore Airport page have been reverted. You messed up a lot so while you made constructive edits you also made a mess of other things. Also, please consolidate your edits because when people need to undo edits they need to be able to do it in few easy edits. Cali4529 (talk) 20:09, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * The article needs a good bit of work. As I return to it for more edits, it may get a bit messy while my edits are in progress. Next time, I'll post an in-use tag to make it clear when I'm working on it. Please be patient and allow me time to fix mistakes while the tag is in place.Folklore1 (talk) 20:37, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

You need to stop editing BWI so much because it is actually a rule on wikipedia that if a user edits a page too much you should be stopped.

And btw... here is your "World Class" source... just for pissing me off. http://bwiab.weebly.com/ Cali4529 (talk) 19:55, 4 January 2012 (UTC)


 * There is no such rule regarding editing, please try and assume good faith and remain civil in discussions, in a collaborative environment such incivility can be poisonous. Also, please don't use a Weebly source, it's a self published source of the worst kind.  Я ehevkor ✉  22:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/SwiftKey submission decline
Yesterday you declined the SwiftKey article for reading like an advertisement. This is the third time it has been declined for that reason. Every time I resubmit I have made changes to adjust the article. The most recent submission was after making adjustments suggested here. That post also explains my thought process while creating the SwiftKey page (using Swype and Android version history as guides). Both of these articles exist, and I do not see how the SwiftKey page is so different from the two of them with regard to style. I'm trying to figure out what specifically is wrong so I know what to do to fix it. If you would please elaborate on your reasoning for rejection I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for reviewing my article and making the disambiguation page to go with it. I noticed that you added Category:Equipment but there are only ten other articles in that category. I think it definitely belongs in Category:Construction equipment and possibly in Category:Firefighting equipment (I added both). Could you please have another look to see whether Category:Equipment is suitable? 24.24.214.15 (talk) 00:25, 11 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Firefighting equipment and construction equipment, which are subcategories of the equipment category do seem more appropriate. I see these have already been added, so I've removed the equipment category, which would be redundant. Folklore1 (talk) 21:52, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Articles for creation/Melanie Franklin
Hello Folklore1, I understand you point regarding the blog but if I reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuters as reliable, independent, third-party sources would this help the submission? This is the first time I have submitted to wiki so any assistance in laymen’s terms would be gratefully received.

Thanks for your guidance, Alex — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thurman A 88 (talk • contribs) 08:44, 25 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Articles published by Reuters are generally good sources, but be sure to cite the name of the publication where the article appears, name of the reporter, and date. This info is even more important than the url, because places where you find stuff on the web can disappear after a few months. With the other reference info, it becomes possible to relocate the article in an archive somewhere else as a later date. Folklore1 (talk) 20:33, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Fund accounting
Hi Folklore1 I am a new user Wikipedia, learning your intensive participation including the article Fund accounting so want to learn from you how to avoid an article is written in a way to avoid reader feeling this is a how-to documentation. I trigger problems of written wiki article when the subject matter attributed to my professional areas. Shall I write only articles for contents covered outside my professional areas?Mgt88drcr (talk) 14:14, 7 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I write about whatever interests me at the time, including a few subjects within my professional area, such as Fund accounting. My usual approach is to create a draft space, write a lot of stuff there, then let it sit a few days. Then I return for a fresh look, trim and reorganize until it looks more encyclopedic. Browsing through the Wikipedia Manual of Style during the process often gives me ideas about what needs to be trimmed or reorganized. Then I move it out of the draft space. If you want to write an article within your technical specialty, I suggest you go ahead and do so, then request a review by the Guild of Copy Editors. Folklore1 (talk) 14:55, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

OriGene
Could you please take another look at the references you are using. The various iuotech newsletters on the wb are not really reliable sources, as most of their content is based on press releases. And HighBeam is not a source--it's an access point to published content, and the original journal or magazine or whatever needs to be specified in every case. there has to be enough information to find the material in libraries as well as online, when that is possible.  DGG ( talk ) 04:57, 12 January 2014 (UTC)


 * My only contribution to the OriGene article was to rate it as Start class and to improve the grammar. Somebody else provided all of the references. Your criticism of the references should be recorded on the Talk page of the article. If you feel my rating of Start was overly generous, please downgrade it to Stub. Folklore1 (talk) 22:30, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

I would like to thank you for paying so much attention to all the citations in the Copenhagen article and for updating and completing them as required instead of simply citing them in the review. The article has certainly improved as a result of your comments, especially those regarding the prose. I hope we'll continue to have the benefit of your advice on other articles related to the cities of Denmark. In the not too distant future Esbjerg may be up for GAN if you are interested.

I am (again) grateful to you for your copyedit. I hope this will be our next GA. Have a nice day. Borsoka (talk) 18:03, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

the Crusades
Hi, please see Crusades talk page re your recent edits. Crusades is a proper noun and needs upper case. cheers IdreamofJeanie (talk) 14:26, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay. Then a more complicated edit will be necessary to assure consistency. Folklore1 (talk) 14:32, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * fine. I'll leave you to it then. IdreamofJeanie (talk) 14:42, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the copyedit. Ryoga (talk) 13:59, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Coal forest
Would you agree with me that Coal forest does not need any more copyediting after your past good work, and the talk page template can be removed?--DThomsen8 (talk) 02:47, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Oops! I applied the wrong template, which I have now corrected. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Folklore1 (talk) 01:57, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

St. Mary's College of Maryland
Hi,

Just a friendly note, it looks like when you did the "Link Rot" edit on the St. Mary's College of Maryland page, that your edit somehow switched off all of the image links on the page.

Would you be willing to take a second look at the images? The copyrights are at the right levels. I checked carefully, all of those images are sourced to the proper permissions.

Or perhaps you just wanted to swap out/change all of the images, which is fine as well

(If it's an editorial preference, then that's fine, I won't contest it)--

I was just mentioning it in case it was an editing error.

Anyway, I am finished with that article (I've decided to leave it).

So I am not going to be able to fix those broken images. Whatever you do or don't do is fine.


 * And I won't be following up about this article either (this is my last time doing that, because I'm moving on).

Very best,

Cliffswallow-vaulting (talk) 10:39, 4 September 2014 (UTC)


 * No (personal) response needed. I don't need a personal response on this.


 * But (no pressure) but if you have time to take a quick (second) look at the images on the article, they are all now disabled despite having he right permissions.


 * Again however, if it's an editorial preference and not just an error, then I'm fine with it.


 * Best, Cliffswallow-vaulting (talk) 11:42, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

When I removed the link rot tag, the image links were restored. I don't know why the link rot tag would cause this problem, and haven't seen it happen on other pages where I inserted a link rot tag. Folklore1 (talk) 17:16, 4 September 2014 (UTC)


 * It's clear that it's some kind of bug with Wikipedia. No big deal.


 * Very best (and thanks as well) :-)

Coordinates
In case you're planning to add location maps to the infoboxes of more Baltimore neighborhood articles, note that when you add the coordinates to the infobox, you should also delete the existing coord template in the article (usually it's just before the categories). If you don't, an error message appears at the bottom of the article, and the article is added to a maintenance category. Deor (talk) 19:59, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

History of the Czechs in Baltimore
I noticed that you rated the article on the History of the Czechs in Baltimore as start class. However, I have substantially expanded the article, so I wonder if the start class designation is still accurate. Would you mind reevaluating the article to see if the class should be changed? Thanks. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 21:11, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I have upgraded the article to C. Folklore1 (talk) 20:52, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Maribojoc Church
I see you copyedited this page a month ago.

I am puzzled, because my editor throws an error at the word facade but is happy with façade. The past tense of 'to lead' is led - one of those three-letter words that people generally have trouble with. You also left a lot of Spanish words in the article, such as retablo, without distinguishing them. Unbuttered parsnip (talk) mytime= Fri 13:17, wikitime=  05:17, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Inadequate copy edits on Chiming Fountain
I want to be encouraging, since this is a volunteer effort, but as the lead coordinator for the Guild of Copy Editors, I feel obliged to inform you that your copy edit of Chiming Fountain, which was posted on the GOCE's Requests page, was not adequate.

After your edits, there were at least three spelling mistakes that would be caught by any spell-checker, along with prose that needed improvement. Please take a look at my subsequent edit to see what I did to improve the article.

If you continue to edit articles from the GOCE's Requests page, can you please request a review by one of the coordinators when you think you are done with an edit? I am pinging my fellow coordinators, and, to let them know that I have posted this message here.

Again, thank you for volunteering with the GOCE. I hope that you will stick with it and maintain an open mind about becoming a more effective copy editor. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:07, 3 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I will henceforth be more careful with my copy editing and use the spell checker. I confess to hurrying on that edit, something I don't usually do and for which I now apologize. However, I am not the open-minded type and will probably not bother to request a review of any future copy edits. You'll just have to catch them as best you can. Just a one-time heads-up...I'm currently working on a slower and more careful copy edit of d.gray-man, but will be including at least one spelling error and one punctuation error. Folklore1 (talk) 01:09, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I enjoy a good treasure hunt as much as the next person. I'll keep an eye on that article to see if I can find the Easter eggs you leave behind. Thanks for the response. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:32, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * One more note: The best advice I have ever received about copy editing is to read the prose aloud once you think you are done. Doing so engages a different part of your brain from the parts that read silently, and it helps you find remaining errors (like "the it") in the current version of d.gray-man. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:34, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed. It also allows us to work around the mind's internal editor, which shows us what's supposed to be on the page rather than what is actually there. Folklore1 (talk) 02:40, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Well done on d.gray-man. I found only the sort of minor stuff that I would expect to find on anyone's completed copy edit, including my own. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:13, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I didn't bother to leave any easter eggs. An unintended "the it", seemed sufficient. It's also the sort of article that has lots of little stuff that becomes invisible during an edit. Folklore1 (talk) 12:42, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I had to open two tabs side by side, one with the edit window and one with the prose, to be able to follow the prose flow, even with syntax highlighting turned on. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:05, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Anbe Vaa
Would you be interested in copyediting this film? Thank you. Thamizhan1994 (Appo Pesu) 07:54, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I thank you for the invitation and wish I could accept, but I'm not sure when I will be able to spare enough time. I'll finish up work on another copyediting project this evening. Then I have to pack my bags and get ready for a trip that will keep me busy with other stuff for days. You should add Anbe Vaa to the list of requests for the Copy Editors Guild. I'll put it on my to-do list, but I would prefer to allow other editors to get to it sooner. Folklore1 (talk) 21:51, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll find out someone else to do the job if you don't find time to do a c/e. It is a medium-sized article and I have already posted it on the requests page. Have a happy and safe journey. Thank you. Thamizhan1994 (Appo Pesu) 04:51, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Your nice rewrite on systemic bias
Hi Folklore1; Your nice rewrite in the systemic bias section in the article Wikipedia looked nicely done, though someone is trying to delete it. I am trying to support your edit as worthwhile and useful. Possibly you could glance at this. Cheers. FelixRosch  ( TALK ) 21:00, 15 December 2014 (UTC)


 * In an edit on November 24, GliderMaven removed a substantial portion of this section, citing Original Research. Perhaps some references are needed to verify this material. Folklore1 (talk) 03:44, 16 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, similar feeling here. It was when I looked to see that there is a wikipedia policy for each one of the issues, for example like WP:BULLYING, that it looked reasonable to keep the section in the article. You can easily find the other 'companion' policies one-for-one as well... are they worth keeping... FelixRosch   ( TALK ) 18:23, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Coffee thanks
Thanks ... I appreciated especially more because it came at a time when I was having problems logging in. Showed I hadn't been forgotten.

And I'm glad you liked it ... there's more that could be written about that. I have been thinking that there could and should be a separate Murder of Eugene Leroy Anderson article, since that case seems notable by itself. Daniel Case (talk) 03:43, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Copyediting the Battle of Kupres (1992)

Server Sundaram
Hello. I had earlier asked for copyediting Anbe Vaa but you stated you were busy. I have posted the film at the Copyeditors requests page. Would you be interested in copyediting this film? Thank you. Thamizhan1994 (Appo Pesu) 06:25, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ Folklore1 (talk) 20:20, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Can you also copyedit Server Sundaram? Thamizhan1994 (Appo Pesu) 23:58, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Just one minor detail — Server Sundaram is written in Indian English (it uses "ise", "ising", "ises" and "isation" instead of "ize", "izing", "izes and "ization".) Example: "realize", "realizing" "realizes" and "realization" is "realise", "realising", "realises" and "realisation" respectively. In this edit, you had written "realizing", which I changed to "realising", although both are correct.Thamizhan1994 (Appo Pesu) 05:18, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Please continue watching for Americanized words as I edit the article. They should be changed to the Indian English spelling for consistency. Bear in mind that I am a life-long resident of Baltimore and not accustomed to Indian English. Folklore1 (talk) 12:29, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. Thank you very much for your copyedits on both the articles. Thamizhan1994 (Appo Pesu) 14:18, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you
I am really grateful to you for your thorough copyedits in Géza II of Hungary and Stephen V of Hungary. Their GAN is in process. Have a nice day. Borsoka (talk) 02:47, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for Kačić noble family
Thank you for your time and effort to improve the Kačić noble family. You done very well, understood and respected the article context, while the uncertainty were resolved in the article talk page. Are you interested to check out the article on Bulgars? This article was newly rewritten by me in May and could have some grammar mistakes, but if you're willing bare in mind is much more extensive. --Crovata (talk) 21:03, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Bulgars
Hi Folklore - I notice the Bulgars article is still on the request page, and neither you nor the other editor has edited it since the 6th. Is it ready for that done tag yet? :) Hope all is well! - Pax  Verbum  05:45, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
