Requesting a little help
Hi there, hope you are well. Ethnic cleansing in Chechnya needs clean up/copyedit, but I am reluctant to put on the requests page as it really doesn't need a copyedit. So, I was asking if you could go over the article (not thoroughly) and try and fix a few things. I have already started, but it's a bulky article and I was looking for some help. As said, it doesn't need a full copyedit, just a few fixes here and there. Willbb234Talk (please &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me in replies) 21:23, 6 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Replied on your Talk Page. 12/6

Thank you
Just as a heads up, I really appreciate all the copy-editing you have done for a lot of the articles I have worked on. It really makes any of my chicken-scratch writing into readable content. :) Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:41, 11 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks, you're very welcome! Happy to help. Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:43, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

WMAQ-TV copy edit request
Could you copy edit the article WMAQ-TV? I started out by removing duplicate links. Still overly long; lots of redundant info, trivia and fancruft; much of which added by a user (Ellinewilliams231) with conflict-of-interest issues who won't respond to any of my posts on his/her talk page. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 18:37, 13 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I hardly know where to start—almost 10,000 words! I've got several other things on the go, but I'll try to have a thorough look at it over the next few weeks. Twofingered Typist (talk) 22:21, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * , And what about Elline? Mvcg66b3r (talk) 22:29, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * FYI, user Mvcg66b3r reverted my copy edits to eight television articles last month, and has not been forthcoming in discussing them. Also, my copy edit of Shashaa Tirupati was recently reverted by a single-purpose account (thus the maintenance tag reappeared).  I've opened a discussion on that article's talk page. – Reidgreg (talk) 20:47, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I've run into WP:OWN with this user before, so I'll proceed with caution. As for Shashaa Tirupati I forgot to look at the article's history/Talk Page so missed the reverts. Looks like this user has been doing same since 2017. I've put the c/e tag back and abandoned the edit. I think they should be blocked if they don't respond. We don't have time for this nonsense. Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:03, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I once took a copy edit revert as far as ANI/edit warring, which did result in a block after a couple months of patience on my part. Will hope for optimism in these cases.  Maybe I should remove the copy edit tags while they're under discussion. – Reidgreg (talk) 21:13, 17 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Good Idea. I added a note on the Talk Page as a reminder to reinstate the tag once this is settled.Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:18, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks as usual for copyediting such a big article. It sure must be tiring. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 16:36, 9 December 2019 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. I don't find it tiring editing Video Game related articles, but it is time consuming as I have no first-hand knowledge about the subject. I often have to check the citations to be certain I understand the text. Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:18, 9 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks to helpful users from Reddit I managed to expand more this section of Jin's article. If possible, could you give it a look? I don't know if it can be rearranged in a better way especially the first and last paragraphs since both mention his design while the others talk more about his characterization. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 23:18, 17 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the quick revision. Now it looks more well organized.Tintor2 (talk) 17:30, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

A small request
Hello, Twofigered Typist...I am presently working with this article, List of highest individual scores in ODIs. Currently a FLC. Can you please go through the prose (its very short, it will not take time), Is there any "false title" in the prose?? Do you find any?? I didn't find any. I am asking as your much experienced in copyedit, one of the reviewer opposing for "false tile" and I don't see any wikipedia policy for that also. Please let me know if you find any false title. Dey subrata (talk) 16:49, 18 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I've given the article a quick copy edit as requested. I believe the "false title" the reviewer was referring to was "New Zealander Martin Guptill". I have now changed it to "New Zealand's Martin Guptill" since he was playing for New Zealand at the time. Correcting the original wording to read "The New Zealander Martin Guptill" in its present context would sound awkward to most readers. Why the reviewer wouldn't simply point this pout to you or correct it themselves is beyond me!! Aren't we all here for the same purpose to improve WP? Regards Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:50, 18 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I have no idea, my point was that only, we all are trying to make things better and correct and right, same purpose. Thats why someone create another one review, some one ask to copyright only to one goal. If you think something is wrong then say it. I have asked twice which thing was wrong. There was no direct response, and opposing it by saying "poor prose and far from professional level" is something egoistic in nature. I never said I am correct. I don't know some people think very different way, you know. May be the director of the FLC will support my work for sure as the prose is not a poor one for sure and saying "far from professional level" is harsh to me. I really don't know mate.

TFA views
Hi Twofingered Typist.

I thought that these, from articles which you have copy edited and which were TFAs in November, might interest you.

140,000

55,000

100,000

45,000

The work you do gets a lot of views. 2005 ACC Championship Game is on the main page right now, and is no doubt being read by dozens or hundreds of people as I type.

 * These page views are remarkable, aren't they? Happy to help. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:40, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Very true. Yesterday. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:55, 4 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi. I note that you have made edits to the lead of Interstate 696. Does that mean that I can move on to the next one? Or should I look at the rest of it? Cheers. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:56, 5 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry, got called away. Yes, I'm on it. Noted on December's Talk Page.


 * You Only Move Twice got 62,000 views over 4 days! Interstate 696 29,000 over 2. Gog the Mild (talk) 00:15, 18 December 2019 (UTC)


 * My Gascon campaign of 1345 has had 100,000+ views over two days and counting. You could not find a more obscure military campaign. It avoided Wikipedia's attention entirely until I created it a year ago. What is wrong with people? They need to get out more. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:50, 19 December 2019 (UTC)



Peace Dove
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. &#8213; Buster7  &#9742;   13:55, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
