Hello, please review the article, "Vermilion, Michigan". --Wpwatchdog (talk) 18:44, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks
My RfA  Thank you for your support in my recent RfA, which closed successfully. I felt the process was a thorough review of my contributions and my demeanor, and I was very gratified to see how many editors took the time to really see what I'm about and how I can be of help to the project. As a result, some editors changed their views during the discussion, and most expressed specific, detailed points to indicate their opinion (whether it was, , or ).

A number of editors were concerned about my level of experience. I was purposeful in not waiting until a particular benchmark occurred before requesting adminship, because I feel - as many do - that adminship is not a reward and that each case is individual. It is true that I am not the most experienced editor around here, but I appreciate that people dug into my contributions enough to reach the conclusion that I seem to have a clue. Also, the best thing about this particular concern is that experience is something an editor - or administrator - can always get more of, and I'll continue doing that, just as I've been doing. (If I seem a little slow at it, feel free to slap me.)

I am a strong believer in the concept that this project is all about the content, and I'm looking forward to contributing wherever I can. Please let me know if I can be of any help. In the meantime, I'm off to school...

Thanks again!

Copy edit
The Homosexuality in speculative fiction needs a copyedit before it goes (finally!) to FAC. It would be great if you could give it a once over - i think it is outside the experience of most people :-). Thanks!Yobmod (talk) 13:18, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit request for Ayumi Hamasaki
I may have asked before, but the article is at FAC and a reviewer suggested for another party to give the article a once-over. I realize that you may be busy, and I'm terribly sorry if I'm importuning. Thanks! Ink Runner (talk) 06:29, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit?
Hi there. I came across a list of copyeditors and wondered if you could take a look at the Brotherhood of Man article which I re-wrote a few months back?

I don't suppose you like the band (or have even heard of them!), but at least them being completely uncool means that I get to write the page myself! I did put it up for a good article review twice - which it failed. I expected this, but really was just looking for reviews of what needed to be done. I changed much of what they said, but they also said it needed copyediting. I can't really see where its readability is poor, but perhaps you can spot it better than me? I didn't think my writing style was that bad to be honest!

I hope you don't mind me asking this and please let me know if I'm being too forward.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 01:22, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Having had a quick look at it - I think the lead and Early Line-Up sections are a bit awkward, from then on it's not too bad.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 01:29, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit
Hello Livitup, I have seen your name in the list of copyedit volunteers. Would you mind having a look at Framo (car). It's a quite short article. Many thanks. --Camtronix (talk) 12:15, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!
As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. -  Trevor  MacInnis   contribs  23:02, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Dear Sirs. You have some categories in your sandbox under "McGill_University" and those appears at the categories. But I guess you know that, and just didn't see it.Jonny Hansson (talk) 23:44, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Copyedit request for A1 (Croatia)
Hi! I'm trying to improve A1 (Croatia) for GAN and I would like to ask if you would give it once over since I'm not a native speaker of English. I saw you wrote that you love the challenge of longer articles and that your interests include travel to continental Europe - well, this one is a fairly long article on a motorway in Europe! The article is currently listed among peer review requests (review suggestions have already been applied) and copyedit requests. Thanks!--Tomobe03 (talk) 22:10, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Just noticed your earlier answer to a copyedit request. I don't mind waiting a bit as I'm hoping to get some more peer review feedback and there may be some more changes to the article and thereby more opportunity for me to mess up English.--Tomobe03 (talk) 00:05, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd love to copyedit for you once my other commitments are met... I'll get in touch in October.   Liv it ⇑ Eh?/What? 12:41, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi again! I'm glad to say that the A1 (Croatia) successfully passed GAN review. I'd like to thank you for your offer to copyedit it, but since someone else from WP:GoCE copyedited I don't need you to copyedit it as well.

On the other hand, I'd still like to ask you for a copyedit of a similar article which shall also be submitted for GAN review shortly, if that may be possible - that one is A3 (Croatia). The article is currently submitted for a peer review, so some changes may still make their way into the text though. Thanks!--Tomobe03 (talk) 21:50, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Abraham Lincoln
Hi, I left you a note on GOCE's Request page but not sure if you saw it. I already started on this article a couple of hours before you posted on the request page. In the past, when 2 editors somehow end up editing the same article, it was decided that both could share the article for the Drive, i.e. both can be credited for the word-count. However, I see you haven't started yet, so I am not sure if this will be allowed. Do you want me to continue with my edits? Please let me know soon. Cheers. - S Masters (talk) 13:55, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Very grateful to get the help with AL ! Carmarg4 (talk) 19:55, 18 September 2010 (UTC)


 * SMasters, go ahead and work on it yourself - I didn't make much progress today anyway. I'll find something else to work on.   Liv it ⇑ Eh?/What? 03:19, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * OK cool, I'll move my edits there. Cheers. - S Masters (talk) 03:30, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Do you have the inclination to do a c/e on Abraham Lincoln? What it needs is a c/e for prose, and while Smasters did a super awesome job, they didn't work on the prose. Not sure if you work on prose either. In any case, if you don't have time or whatever, that's fine. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 02:11, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Just want to add my thanks for your interest in looking at this earlier. I have expressed my gratitude to Smasters; anyway, the importance of the article couldn't be much greater according to the feedback from our FA nomination so if another set of editor's eyes can look at this that would great. Carmarg4 (talk) 12:23, 21 September 2010 (UTC)


 * So did SMasters basically do a grammar and style copy edit, and you're looking for someone to recast the prose where needed? If so, I'd be happy to work on it some, I could get started in a couple weeks.   Liv it ⇑ Eh?/What? 20:26, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Your idea of recasting the prose is what we are looking for so we would appreciate being on your to do list; the sooner the better. Carmarg4 (talk) 20:34, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, we need an outside look at the prose. Thanks for looking into it. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 03:24, 26 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Ping. Do you have time for a c/e?  If not, I totally understand. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 03:34, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Grammar Questions
Hello I have seen that you are part of the WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors and saw that you like "longer articles"? In the past few days I have re-created a article that interest me and expanded it. Before moving my sandbox, User:AJona1992/Sandbox8, to its article I would like to first know if I have done any mistakes on any number of things such as grammar. If you can look over it and tell me if there are any errors that may need to be fix before nominating the article into a GA or FA? Thanks AJona1992 (talk) 14:30, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
