Good start!
Hi Timeweaver, nice work on reverting vandalism so far! Hope you stick around and enjoy editing. If I can offer a bit of advice, it's this: some people can plough through Recent Changes like there's no tomorrow (the same for New Page Patrol), but some (me included) find that it helps to keep a good mix of activities going. Copyediting, writing new articles and the like is a good way of getting away from what sometimes feels like the front line, and helps to avoid temporarily getting frazzled.

Teahouse talkback: you've got more messages 2!
Keep up the good work - and that Verdun page is magnificent.

Thanks Mediahound-thethird! I must admit though that most of the hard work was already done. The people who wrote the article did a great job; I'm just cleaning it up and trying to add inline cites. :) Timeweaver (talk) 02:32, 19 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the Kitten. It made me laugh and brightened my morning. It can be like a zoo at times. P^) I was wondering if you have seen this suggestion by another Teahouse visitor? As you are a copy editor (a skill I lack in abundance), I was wondering what your view would be of a bot that helps track down pages where Time Dependent language is being used/misused and making pages become inconsistent? I keep seeing the problem but the only fix is extensive re-write from people with the right eyes and minds. I've also floated the idea over at Village pump (idea lab).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Media-hound- thethird (talk • contribs) 11:45, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

I really think it'd be a great idea, as long as the bot was configured correctly of course. Will drop my view there shortly. :) Timeweaver (talk) 19:19, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Re: Request
I'll see what I can do but it's going to take some time - not terribly active atm. Res Mar 01:14, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

No worries. Take all the time you need to, I'm not going anywhere! It's very much appreciated, by the way! Timeweaver (talk) 01:17, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
