Requests page archive
Hi, wi2g, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you so much for joining the Guild of Copy Editors. I have had a quick look at your work and I am impressed. I just wanted to let you know that items in the request page archive are sorted by the date that they are first requested, so you will find Iowa class battleship in the December 2010 archive. It was first requested on December 19. All you will have to do is add your name and the date the edit is completed, if the article already appears in the archive. I hope you enjoyed editing the article. See you soon, -- Diannaa (Talk) 06:23, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * By the way, you get credit for two 5k articles if your article is 10,000 words. So I have corrected the information on the drive leader board. -- Diannaa (Talk) 17:58, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Pseudo-Cushing's syndrome
You tagged Pseudo-Cushing's syndrome with a contradiction. I'm guessing you are concerned about the "Investigations" section which suggests that both Pseudo-Cushing's and Cushing's will have "loss of diurnal variation". Correct? Resolving the contradiction is difficult for me, a non-medical person, because the "Investigations" section itself is vague. So I'm guessing that it means "consider Pseudo-Cushing's if you see any of these signs or symptoms". Setting my ignorance aside, could you explain the contradiction more in Talk:Pseudo-Cushing's syndrome? It will help other editors figure out what to do. Thanks. --S.

Horse stuff
Hi Wi2g, wanted to give you a thanks and a pat on the back for your work on the horse articles and especially for the challenge of creating the new ones we need. I appreciate that you are adding good sources too. I have a couple tips: 1)  Go easy on the "see alsos"  I too used to like to add a lot of them, but wiki MOS technically says a see also section should be confined mostly to related links that are NOT mentioned anywhere in the article text.  So I've really cut back on them.  2)  When adding cateories, don't include both a parent and child category. (In other words, hardly ANYTHING will go into the big parent category:horse) Also, in categorizing horse articles, it will either be categorized as  "breed" or a "type" but very seldom both. A "type" is something like filly, colt, gelding, feral horse (generic overview article) and things that just are not "breeds." I fixed the ones that I spotted to need fixing. 3) Just because in infobox has a spot, don't feel obligated to add stuff to it, we can fill them out later.  Otherwise, good work. I'd also encourage you to use our GA and FA articles as examples -- we have listed at Portal:Horses -- you can click on the "archive/nominations" link to view the whole list.  Or feel free to ask me or Dana boomer questions -- Dana has created a lot of the good and featured breed articles.  More than I, actually.  Ealdgyth is also really good, especially on sourcing format.  For photos in commons, User:Pitke is your person, Pitke created a lot of the categories in Commons, and if something exists, that is the person who will know!
