GOCE July Drive Article Check
Hello:

Thank you far participating in the July Backlog Elimination Drive. As part of the drive GOCE members review copy edited articles to make sure there are no issues and to offer suggestions where they may be helpful.

I reviewed the articles Ravindra Dave and J.S. Verma which you edited and wanted to point out a few minor issues I found which will help you with future copy edits.

Ravindra Dave

I made a number of edits to improve/fix the wording which you can see by checking the edit history.


 * When a clause after the word "but" can stand alone, a comma should separate it from the first part of the sentence. e.g. "In 1980s, he undertook a crime thriller titled Mera Pati Mera Qatil with the hope of returning to Hindi films, but the film never went into production due to his ill- health and financial constraints."

J.S. Verma

Again, you can check the edit history to see all of the changes, but I will point out a couple of things that will help you going forward.


 * The titles of court cases are put in italics as are Latin expressions like habeas corpus. I added a Wiki link to this term and to several others plus one Act of India's parliament to assist readers who might want additional details or don't understand the term.


 * Wikilinks should be avoided in article headings as was done in Vishaka Judgement - the link can be in the body of the text.


 * Numbers below 10 are normally spelled out - He had 6 brothers ..> he had six brothers.


 * It is a good idea to put lengthy quotations in a block quote so they stand out. You can check the edit history to see where I've done this. The quote is preceeded by ends with < /blockquote > (after the citation if there is one) and the text does not need quotation marks. (There are no spaces before or after the words - I've done this so they are visible to you.

Here is a link to the Wikipedia Manual of Style: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style It is a great help when you need answers to questions about how things are done in the encyclopedia.

I hope all of this is useful. Do let me know if you have any questions. I'll try to help if I can.

Once again, thank you for all your hard work on these articles. It is greatly appreciated.

Mamie Shields Pyle
Hello:

I had a look at your copy edit of the article Mamie Shields Pyle posted on the Guild of Copy Editors Request Page by Knope7. These requests are usually placed because the requestor has asked for the article to be considered for Good Article or Feature Article status. This places greater responsibility on the editor who undertakes a copy edit to insure it meets the highest standards.

The copy edits you made were helpful and certainly improved the article. Please have a look at the article's history where you can see the additional changes I made when I went through it. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mamie_Shields_Pyle&diff=904776204&oldid=904394305 I hope this will help demonstrate the sort of detail GOCE copy edits require. This is by no means a criticism. We all started somewhere.

Please have a look at the section Instructions for Copy Editors on the Guild's page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests You will see it is customary to tag the article's Talk Page to indicated that you completed the copy edit and also to notify the person requesting the copy edit that you have finished it. If you would like to do this I'm sure Knope7 will appreciate hearing from you. Have a look at the Talk page of Amazing Grace (2018 film) I just completed to see how the tag looks. If you look at User talk:CAPTAIN MEDUSA you can see how I notified them or you can use the tag from the Instructions page.

Thanks again for your contributions. I hope this is helpful. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
