My Work for the Guild
Hello,

I would like to formally apologize for the poor job I did in this past drive. This is all so new to me and not knowing any of the protocols really hindered my ability of doing the best job possible. At your behest, I will not participate in the next drive in order to not cause any more damage. Instead, I will learn more about the guild and its rules. So when I am fortunate enough to participate in another drive, I will be ready to be a great help to you and the rest of the guild. I hope you understand that I put in a lot of effort into the drive this month; my heart was in the right place. I am just juggling a lot of things right now, which I bet you could probably understand. I am still an underclassman in high school, so there is lots of room for me to grow. I cannot wait to get back and help when my knowledge of the guild is up to par.

 * Thank you for finally responding. As I wrote in an earlier post to you some of your edits are very helpful. I think your problem, and you acknowledge it here, is that you are "juggling a lot of things". Copy editing requires 100% focus. I never asked you not to participate, I suggested you slow down and work through each article carefully. I trust you will continue to edit but only when you can give it the attention each article deserves. Stay safe. Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:08, 2 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I appreciate the honest feedback, and I will continue to work hard. I am already improving, so the future is bright.  I am very excited for you to see my next copy edits; you will be proud. A. Julian 06:47, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

East Bengal Ultras
A small request. Can you kindly check and copyedit this article once again? Requesting you since you did it in January. There were multiple addition/subtraction after that. As per the latest GA review, there are some minor issues. I didn't request in WP:GOCE since a major was already done, and requesting there again will take very long time. Please see this.  ❯❯❯  S A H A   13:08, 13 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Sorry, you will have to put in a request at the GOCE. We have a long backlog which we are trying to clear up. It appears there are issues with paraphrasing etc... which you will need to deal with. This is outside the scope of a Guild copy edit where we deal primarily with grammar and spelling. Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:37, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , ok. I have requested.   ❯❯❯  S A H A   20:01, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Can't Get You Out of My Head
Hey Twofingered Typist! Once again, thank you for copy-editing "Can't Get You Out of My Head". On its respective [|FAC], a user pointed out the use of passive instead of active voice to be an issue. Additionally, the Critical reception section apparently has a lot of quotes that might need reducing and rewording. I was wondering if you could help me with that? Thanks a lot! — Tom (T2ME) 11:54, 21 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I have "fixed" the passive voice in those sentences where I think it is appropriate although it has made some of the sentences "clunky". Perhaps Aoba47 could help you with the quotes? They have a lot of experience with music articles. Regards, Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:26, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for your assistance! Yeah, I agree with you. Apparently "that was the preferred voice". I changed a sentence in the lead though. I think it sounds better like it is right now. But, thanks a bunch! I will be contacting Aoba to see if he is willing to help! :) 15:15, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
