A Crow Looked at Me

Hi TT; I'm currently copy-editing the above article and I noticed it had {{Use Canadian English}}, which you added here in May 2020. Was this a mistake or is there a reason the variety should be Canadian? The album's artist Phil Elverum is American so I've changed the template accordingly; I'm happy to change it back if needed.

@Baffle gab1978: I can't think why I would have added the Canadian English tag! American certainly makes sense. I appreciate you checking. Cheers. Twofingered Typist (talk) 11:47, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

No problem; I didn't actually notice until I saw an "ise" spelling, which prompted my check. I guess it's a minor point but the c/e is for an FA nom. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 01:26, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

A Request

Hi Twofingered Typist, hope you are doing well. Here is a small request, hope you accept it. I want to take the article AIFF Player of the Year for FLC, but it needs a quick copyedit. I know you are often busy with the GOCER, but this is a list article with prose having hardly 10 lines and body have 3 to 4 lines more in total. Can you please take a look, will be thankful as always. Again thank you. Drat8sub (talk) 00:25, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

@Drat8sub: I've run through the article for you. Best of luck with the FLC. Twofingered Typist (talk) 11:46, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you again for your valuable time and effort. Drat8sub (talk) 12:43, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
