Hi LegesRomanorum. I see you did some cleanup of a couple of years ago. Could you take a look over it and see what you think of it? It was likely created against a COI, and much of the article appears unreferenced. Thanks! --Ronz (talk) 18:59, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Copy edit review of Sara Goza
Hi LegesRomanorum, Thank you for joining the Guild of Copy Editors in our May editing Drive! I reviewed your edits to Sara Goza, and it looks like you made a lot of good improvements. I have two small points that should help you when working on further articles:
 * 1) Since the subject of the article is American, the American spelling "practicing" should be used instead of "practising" per MOS:TIES.
 * 2) Per MOS:SURNAME, we don't generally use prefixes like "Dr." before a person's name.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again for your contributions and I hope that continue with us in improving Wikipedia! Regards, Tdslk (talk) 17:23, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Copy edit review of You Go to My Head (film)
Hi LegesRomanorum, Thank you for your work on You Go to My Head (film). Guild coordinators and other senior members will generally review the work of editors who have not worked on Requests page articles before, and I have done that here. It looks like you made a number of good improvements to the article. However, I noticed a few issues that I want to highlight:
 * 1) You introduced the word "wjp"; presumably, your right hand shifted to the right when typing "who".
 * 2) In the lead, "in 27 April 2017" was corrected to "on 27 April 2017", but this correction was not made in the first sentence of the "Release" section.
 * 3) In the second paragraph of the production section, there was no closing '' after the film title, so the rest of the paragraph was in italics.

Some of these issues might have been caught if you had done an additional read through of the article after you finished your copy edits. Please note that at the Guild we do our most careful work on articles from the Requests page as many of these articles (such as this one) are being nominated for a Good Article or Featured Article, Wikipedia's highest quality levels. I find that I need to read through an article multiple times to achieve this standard. You have edited a number of articles from the Requests page within the past day. If you have worked on the other articles at the same pace as you completed this one, I would recommend that you give each of those articles another read through to check for additional improvements to be made. Please let me know if you would be willing to do this. Regards, Tdslk (talk) 18:23, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi there. Thank you so much for catching those issues - they're quite embarrassing and should not have slipped into the text. Don't worry, I'll make a start on looking over those now - thank you so much for flagging them! Best wishes, LegesRomanorum (talk) 18:34, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I very much appreciate your willingness to do this. Cheers, Tdslk (talk) 20:27, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?
I've run through What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?. I made some changes to some of the wording which you can see checking the article's edit history. The only MOS issues were that numbers 1→9 are normally written in words i.e "the film is nine minutes long" and links to other Wikipedia articles should be placed at the first mention of the topic/subject.

I find it useful to read the section I've edited "aloud" in my head. I find this technique really useful for picking up odd phrasing and excessive wording. It might work for you too. Thanks for your help with this current drive.

Regards,

Copyedit on The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter
Hello, thank you for your work on The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (I was the requestor). You changed the verbs used in the #Narrative from the past to the present tense, but I wanted to ask a question. Does that rule still apply if the original story is written in the past tense? Donald Keene's translation opens with "once upon a time" and uses past tense throughout. — Goszei (talk) 17:55, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * hey, thanks for getting in touch! Yep, the rule applies even if the original story is written in the past tense - look at the Wikipedia plot summary of Jane Eyre as an example. Best wishes, LegesRomanorum (talk) 17:59, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Please help!
Hi there! I don't think you know who I am, but I'm currently editing our article on the Odyssey. In doing so, I came across the page for Euripedes' Cyclops. It was in a really bad state before because of some edits made by a (well-intentioned) user. I do not have any familiarity with this text, and in both iterations of the article it’s hard for me to determine what really needs to be there. I don't know the text, and I want someone who knows the text to be familiar enough to navigate criticism. Would you be willing to give the article some assistance? All I've done so far is revert it to an earlier state, so if you were able, I'd be really happy to expedite carrying out a GA review once it’s been fixed up. They can take a while to be reviewed sometimes, and I'd really like to mention Cyclops on the page for the Odyssey, so I'm happy to promise that I'd make sure it was reviewed thoroughly without a long delay. I looked around for a while to figure out who to contact about this, and it feels like you have a lot of experience. If this isn't the project for you, though, I would be more than happy to reach out to someone else. Imaginestigers (talk) 15:29, 16 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Hey! Thank you for getting in touch; I'm very flattered that you picked me! Unfortunately I'm completely snowed under with academic work right now, and things aren't going to calm down for a few weeks... I'm very sorry that I can't help!

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Philodoppides is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Philodoppides until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished. Modussiccandi (talk) 18:29, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

August 2023
Please do not create, maintain or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia, as you did at Philodoppides. If you are interested to know how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements already in Wikipedia – and, if possible, correct them. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Continued disruption will be met with sanctions, which could include a block from editing. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you. asilvering (talk) 22:34, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
