Syria and 242
Hi, I notice you have made some recent edits to the page on Resolution 242 regarding formal acceptance by Syria. This issue was debated in May 2007 and the agreed wording you altered has stood since then. I would be interested to know on what basis you altered the pre-existing wording as I think the agreed wording was more accurate and would like to revert back to it.

Thanks
thanks for your taking care of LTTE. That page was in need of a copy-edit. One question: why do you prefer "it" over "they" when speaking about this organization? The abbreviation expands to "Liberation TigerS of Tamil Eelam", so I think it should trigger plural agreement and anaphora, rather than singular. Jasy jatere (talk) 08:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. Because it's an organization, and grammar dictates that every organization should be referred to as "it", regardless of its name. When you are talking about multiple things, such as the members of the organization, or several organizations, then you use the pronoun "they". -Pgan002 (talk) 19:07, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Request for copyedit!
Hi, I'm curious if you would be interested in copyediting the Boys in Red accident article? It is finished content wise and just needs a good copyedit before it's ready for FAC. Thanks for taking the time to read my request! --Kuzwa (talk) 22:18, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Grab some glory, and a barnstar
Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 15:16, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Image alt text in popups
Hi, I saw that a while back you requested image popups to show alt text if defined. I just implemented it. Cheers, AxelBoldt (talk) 18:48, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you Axel! I know there is probably a lot to work on, so thanks for getting to this! -Pgan002 (talk) 22:07, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Request for neutral tone help on Jammin' Java
I noticed that you labeled yourself as a help for copy-editing, so I wanted to ask for your assistance. I have a page Jammin' Java that is in need of a look-over to see if it meets the criteria for neutral tone. Would it be possible that you could look over the page and contribute to it with a third-party go over? Evan-Amos (talk) 02:07, 7 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I have edited it and I think it's pretty good now. It was not too bad before, but I mainly improved the intro. I think you can remove the "advert" tag. -Pgan002 (talk) 01:33, 23 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I am checking up on some of my pages and just noticed the work that you did on Jammin' Java. I want to thank you for your help and taking the time to look it over. Evan-Amos (talk) 00:30, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Amazon.com, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Battery and Android (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
