 * Thank you. I agree, the single year looks odd. I tweaked it in the prep set, as the source is stating that the vicar has lived in a house constructed in 1838. Yoninah (talk) 22:06, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

R v R
Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article R v R has been completed. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Apart from a few punctuation tweaks, the article didn't require much editing. I did archive several citations' URLs - where I could - just to insure the article doesn't develop "dead" links.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

The 10,000 Challenge
Hi there. I've started a new initiative, the The 10,000 Challenge. It's a long term goal to bring about 10,000 article improvements to the UK and Ireland. Through two contests involving just six or seven weeks of editing so far we've produced over 1500 improvements. Long term if we have more people chipping it and adding articles they've edited independently as well from all areas of the UK then reaching that target is all possible. I think it would be an amazing achievement to see 10,000 article improvements by editors chipping in. If you support this and think you might want to contribute towards this long term please sign up in the Contributors section. No obligations, just post work on anything you feel like whenever you want, though try to avoid basic stubs if possible as we're trying to reduce the overall stub count and improve general comprehension and quality. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:09, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
