Dragon Ball (manga)
Hi Twofingered Typist,

When you are avaliable, could you re-copyedit the article linked? I asked someone to take a look, and they said it was stilted and had repetitive phrases. -- 1989 23:28, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm working on another article right now, but I'll see what I can do. I see its had dozens and dozens of edits since I last looked at it. Twofingered Typist (talk) 11:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I've run through the article again and made some changes - a few I perhaps missed the first time through, and some issues that were definitely introduced after my initial copy edit. I have to say that the tone seems right to me for an encyclopedic article - I certainly wouldn't say it is "stilted". I failed to find incidents of "repetitive phrases". Perhaps the individual who looked at the article would like to give you a hand with it? Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:44, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

TT, pinged me about this article. I took a quick look at the FAC page, and has substantive prose concerns. A big problem (as you've noted) is the length of time between the copyedit and the FAC. The FA prose standard is "professional", and the current article may fall short. 1989, I suggest that you chalk this up to experience, request another FA-quality copyedit (emphasize that on WP:GOCE/REQ) and renominate the article as soon as the copyedit is done. Good luck and all the best,  Mini  apolis  14:27, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Chalk this up? I don't get it. -- 1989 14:38, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * "Chalking something up to experience" is an English-language idiom meaning "to learn from a mistake"; your mistake was waiting so long after the copyedit to submit the FAC, because there were many intervening edits. All the best,  Mini  apolis  17:34, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank You for the fix ups
Thanks heaps for checking the articles for me! Is there any chance you could quickly go through Alex Gilbert and The Café (Three)? Or do I have to request these? Thanks again! --TheDomain (talk) 19:54, 22 August 2017 (UTC) Also if not, I will add these to the list in the following month or so. No rush! --TheDomain (talk) 19:59, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll have a look at them for you. Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:25, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

You are a legend Twofingered Typist. If you can have a look at both that would be incredible. They are not long articles :) --TheDomain (talk) 21:11, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
