Remove GEO links and edits for flow.
Why do you have to remove unnecessary links and edit for flow?  CentralTime 301  ( talk , contribs) 17:00, 16 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I don't understand your question. Which article?
 * Ping doesn't work if you don't sign. I suspect they are referring to recent edits to WNBC.  I'm not sure that I agree with your reverts on this article.  Just glancing at it, I can see that the revert reintroduced some grammatical mistakes to the article, as well as quite a bit of citation formatting. For your questions, edits for flow are generally so that the prose reads more smoothly. The 'geo links'  are something of a judgement call, but no reason to revert everything else. – Reidgreg (talk) 15:48, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I meant the removing geo links and edits for flow on any article you edit.  CentralTime 301  ( talk , contribs) 16:14, 17 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I removed the separate link to New Jersey because in my opinion that was excessive linking. The majority of readers looking at this article are not going to have any interest in the state of New Jersey. On the other hand, a few may be curious about Linden, New Jersey so I left that. As Reidgreg notes, edits for flow are simply my attempts to make the article read more smoothly - in this case I suspect you're referring to lengthy sentences I broke up.

Feedback for Nico Roseberg
I noticed that you did some additional work on Nico Rosberg following the copy edit by AnUnnamedUser. If you haven't already, would you mind leaving that user a little feedback on their talk page about what they missed and what to look for? Thanks! – Reidgreg (talk) 15:51, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I've left some feedback, but I have to say it is not my strong suit. Hope it's okay. Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:07, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
 * It's great, thanks! Good use of examples in pointing out the flow/phrasing issues. – Reidgreg (talk) 23:06, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Grammar help
Hi there. I'm not sure about some grammar, and I figured you were an expert so I should ask you. A user changed wording from "a ODI" to "an ODI" (where ODI means One Day International). I don't know which one is correct because it depends whether it would be pronounced "O-D-I" or "One Day International", and the neither "a" or "an" agrees with them both. Thanks for your time, Willbb234Talk (please &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me in replies) 11:02, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
 * "an ODI" is correct. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:26, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Jonesey, have answered it twice on his talk page. Cheers, Twofingered Typist (talk) 18:59, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
