D.Gray-man creation
The FA nomination is going on pretty well but I recently found a lot more of Production information about the series. Could you give it a look and copyedit it? Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 02:17, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look at it ASAP—hopefully tomorrow, but our power and heat were off for four days and there's another storm coming. Climate change, you know. All the best,  Mini  apolis  23:08, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Done, but that's all the time I have for this article; I'm copyediting Fightstar for FA. Good luck and all the best,  Mini  apolis  18:54, 13 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the edits. Good luck.Tintor2 (talk) 22:02, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Social contract
I'm at the point of selecting my next article to copy-edit at WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. The only one of the next few in line that appeals to me is Social contract. Before I start, I just wonder whether "Nice article...Could use a going over." is sufficient grounds for a request. The requester made a few edits to the article, but, unless I didn't look carefully enough, not an overhaul or major update. If that's all right with you, I'm happy to accept the assignment. If not, I leave it in your hands. – Corinne (talk) 00:31, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure, Corinne, feel free to take it; with the few exceptions at WP:GOCE/REQ, we have no minimum standard for a request. Thanks and all the best,  Mini  apolis  01:37, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * O.K. Thanks! – Corinne (talk) 03:49, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
