Welcome to the Guild of Copy Editors
Hi, TitanAndromeda! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for your interest in copy editing! I see that your account is new so I'm assuming you are a new editor.

Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was a tough article to copy edit. Really, as you've noted, it needs a lot of translation and citation work before it can have a proper copy edit, but it doesn't hurt to clean it up and it can be good practise to work on problematic articles like that. A couple other copy editors have made additional changes, which you can review from that article's history. (One thing I noticed was that Syngman Rhee's name was also spelled Lee Seung-man and Rhee Syng-man; I changed them to the linked spelling for consistency and to avoid confusion.)

Please have a look at WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/How to for links to some useful guidelines and help files on copy editing at Wikipedia. I particularly found Tony1's tutorials helpful.

We have developed a particular house style at Wikipedia, described in detail in our Manual of Style (MOS). Copy editors are expected to know more about the MOS than the average editor. Don't try to memorize it, but familiarize yourself with it so that you can refer to it when you run into something you're unsure about. (If you get stumped, you can ask at the GOCE talk pages.) Writing for encyclopedic tone can take a little getting used to.

If you're still interested in copy editing, I'd invite you to join our May copy-editing drive which runs until the end of the month.

If you have any questions, please put  in your reply so that I get a notification. Thanks again for your contributions and happy editing! – Reidgreg (talk) 12:12, 23 May 2019 (UTC)


 * thank you so much for your welcome and advice. I will absolutely take a look at the MOS and how-to page that you linked. Hopefully those will help me to make some positive contributions to the backlog of articles needing copy edits. And I will definitely look into helping with the drive for this month.

Mainline/regional consolidation
I am curious to know exactly what made your opinion on the mainline/regional consolidation change? Just curious. Blissfield101 (talk) 21:14, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Reading points made by those in opposition to the proposal introduced enough uncertainty on my part that I'm much more undecided on the issue than before. OhanaUnited's pointing out that Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge's flights are marketed differently gave me pause to consider that there are tangible differences between the way mainline and regional flights are operated. And SportingFlyer's point that merging mainline and regional destinations eliminates information that could be useful for non-travel purposes is compelling to me as well. While most travelers don't notice the difference, decisions to use regional carriers for routes versus mainline affect many aspects of the airline industry from fleet decision to gate allocation, so having a sense of which destinations are served by regionals could have encyclopedic value in this regard. All of this led me to realize that I hadn't fully considered the issue and can really see either side.
 * While you're here, I'd like to briefly address what brought me to that discussion in the first place, which was noticing your merging edits. While I stand by my statement at that discussion that your initial round of edits conformed to WP:BOLD, I was concerned to see you responding to reversions with reverts of your own while a discussion was ongoing and consensus hadn't been determined. If I were in your position I would have refrained from re-reverting since you were attempting to change what had been a longstanding implicit consensus. That being said, I appreciate that you have suspended further edits until consensus is determined. It does look increasingly likely that the consensus will be for the status quo, but we'll see how things play out. In the meantime, I'll continue to keep an eye on this discussion.

Belated apology
In regards to the Privacy and blockchain article edit. Was not sure what to put in. I just thought there was no need for the commenting out part when(at least to me) not enough editing was done to the article. That being said, I have been wrong before. At any rate, now the article looks fine, so I most likely won't do much editing to it.
