Concerns about a CE

Hi, another member of the GOCE is copyediting an article I nominated, and I have concerns about their changes. I searched the GOCE Wikiproject page but cannot find where to post my concerns to the coordinators. Where should I post these concerns? Thanks for your help. Z1720 (talk) 17:02, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) The best thing to do is to discuss the edits on the article's talk page. If that does not work, you are welcome to drop a message to the GOCE coordinators at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:57, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Z1720 Kncny11 has left a note on the Requests Talk Page. You should detail your concerns there and the coordinators will review them. Thanks. Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:27, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Copyedit

Whenever you have the time, could you copyedit beaver again? LittleJerry (talk) 01:21, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

@LittleJerry: Is the article stable now? This will be the third or fourth time I've worked on it. I don't mind, but there's a huge backlog of requests at the GOCE I'm helping to work through. Twofingered Typist (talk) 14:29, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Its stable yes. LittleJerry (talk) 20:05, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

@LittleJerry: Okay, I'll try to get to it a.s.a.p. Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:41, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

@Little Jerry: I've run through it for you. Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:50, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Ce

Hi. Since you are a very experienced copyeditor, could you have a look at the article I co-created? I mean especially correcting grammar (e.g., verb tenses choice), spelling, and punctuation, awkward wording, citation format etc. If you find some time, I will greatly appreciate your help. Although the article is quite short, I am fully aware that you have a lot on. PS. I have already noticed a minor error in the title of the second reference (it should read: "Experimental Formation of Bio-Like Structures", i.e., with the final word in plural form). However, I have decided to leave it until the comprehensive copyedit and proofread are done. Thank you. Regards, --Pinoczet (talk) 17:15, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I would like to take this opportunity to ask one more question. Is it necessary to use the definite article the in the following sentence (before described conditions): It has been implied that the conclusions were drawn due to too little critical attitude as it seemed impossible to create a cell under [the] described conditions.? PS. The sentence has been taken from the section Scientific reviews of the article. Kind regards, --Pinoczet (talk) 00:00, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

No worries! Your help is really invaluable. Thank you so much. Kind regards, --Pinoczet (talk) 16:20, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Current Ga prose

Hello. Thanks for copyediting the article Makoto Naegi. I had to cut some parts for the GA review but according to the review there are still some parts that need to be checked. I already replaced my own request in the guild with Makoto but I would appreciate if you give a quick review since the reviewer has been helping me with the prose. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 13:49, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

@Tintor2: I've run through it again for you. I have left several masked messages you can see in edit mode where I simply could not understand what the sentences meant. This is a real problem for editors who have not played these games, I'm afraid. Twofingered Typist (talk) 16:14, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered

@Twofingered Typist: Thanks for picking this up. Just to let you know the Gameplay section needs to be extensively re-written and expanded to better detail the overall gameplay and not just the changes, so until this is completed I wouldn't focus too much on improving this part. Wikibenboy94 (talk) 14:26, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

@Wikibenboy94: Okay, I'd finished anyway. I'll add it was refreshing to read such a succinct summary! 700 words is the suggested maximum for plot outlines but that is really pushing a reader's attention span in my opinion. Twofingered Typist (talk) 14:50, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist: Thanks for your full copy-edit of the article, it's appreciated. There were two minor changes that I didn't agree with or believed to be incorrect and have changed. Please can you let me know whether you agree or not. Wikibenboy94 (talk) 23:57, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
