"Venus" copy edit
Thanks for working on this article. However, regarding this diff, I should note that quotation marks around song titles definitely belong inside punctuation per Manual_of_Style/Titles. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:39, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Manual_of_Style might also help for shorter quotes or quotes without punctuation of their own. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:42, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, you're right. I did a "search and replace" and hadn't checked the results. Still working on the first c/e pass. Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:58, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * No worries, just wanted to let you know since you do so many copy edits. Might help for future reviews. Thanks for all you do here at Wikipedia! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:01, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

My linguistic problem.
Please could you take a look at my [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Baseball_metaphors_for_sex#Linguistic_problem. talk]? The Wikipedian, who reverted my edit just ignores me. I would appreciate any help you can provide. 85.193.240.37 (talk) 09:43, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

A little help
Hey how have you been? I have hit a sort of a roadblock with the How to Save a Life (Grey's Anatomy), would you mind taking a look at the plot section and offer a c.e.? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Numerounovedant  Talk  04:36, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Convert
I noticed your work at Sahara. FYI it is not necessary to remove commas from numbers passed to convert. Also, convert's default output is usually satisfactory. For example, given the original:
 * → 2,800,000 km2

any of the following converts would do the job ( is convert with  ): I'm just mentioning this for consideration in the future. Johnuniq (talk) 01:30, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * → 2,800,000 km2
 * → 2,800,000 km2
 * → 2,800,000 km2
 * @Johnuniq - Thanks for the clarification. Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:37, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
