Hi TfT,

I just made an edit over at your section on the current drive. On the most recent {{working}}, the closing brackets were not curly which was making the whole template a bit confused. Just letting you know that I replaced them. (my edit)

All the best, ritenerek⋆:) 20:07, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

@Ritenerek: Thanks so much! I'll be more careful. TfT

hi

Can you pop an in use tl on that article while you are in it, I set aside some time to do a copyedit without Waldo letting me know it was on the GOCE list :¬)

absolutely amazed he didn't tell me, and unbelievable coincidence it came to the top of the list right now lol Chaosdruid (talk) 03:11, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

@Chaosdruid: Sorry, don't understand what you're asking me to do. Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:30, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

If you are working on it today, can you please put the "In use" tl on it Template:In_use when you are editing to avoid ec --- we used to do it as standard practice, but I guess it's not being used nowadays? Chaosdruid (talk) 15:27, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

I just took a look and it seems like it's mainly just you doing the GOCE work ...

I had to take a time out for a while due to RL, no internet for nearly two years lol, but am getting back to normal now and can assist? Chaosdruid (talk) 15:30, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know Twofingered Typist, I ran out of time anyway and had to do some video work so I just left it until you had finished.

I doubt there will be much left to do lol, I know you are pretty thorough.

It was a bit of a nightmare trying to explain to the "main" editor that the wording was way off.

I will try and work with them on the GA, I'm sure it will be fun ;¬)

If you want some help with the current backlog, let me know - I was aiming to catch up and get back to GOCE by June or May or whenever there's another drive on, but don't mind pitching in now if it helps Chaosdruid (talk) 03:32, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Chaosdruid Any time you can spend on the Requests on the GOCE page will surely be appreciated. Thanks! Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:45, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Borsoka Thank you so much for this; I really do appreciate it. You seriously downplay your skills as a writer in English. I didn't so much edit this article as take a very good article and (I hope) polish it! Cheers, Twofingered Typist (talk) 11:02, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I did some cleanup based on suggestion by Ovinus at the talk page. Hope that's okay. In fact there's much less text for you to copyedit. LittleJerry (talk) 02:07, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

@LittleJerry: No problem, I'm not even half way through my first pass. Twofingered Typist (talk) 11:55, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
