Cologne-Dusseldorf rivalry / GOCE blitz edit

I hope you don't consider this as rude (considering your status and extensive experience), but I've made a couple of small edits on the Cologne-Dusseldorf article. I wanted to join the GOCE blitz (never figured out how to count words added/removed) and edited one article, and then came across this. Hope it's ok. Leoseliv (talk) 19:04, 24 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

2020–21 SC East Bengal season edit

I have a request. WIkicup 2nd round deadline is on 28th Apr, and to secure my spot for the next round, the only option I have is to promote this to GA. If possible can you please copyedit this? You already copyedited some parts of this article before.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  10:49, 26 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

C/e request for Pre-Socratic philosophy edit

Hi Twofingered Typist, long time no see, I hope you are safe and well during this awful pandemic. May I ask another favor, as the ones you did for my previous GAN articles? Can you c/e Pre-Socratic philosophy? It is a mess, I am sure. I will do the linking to Wp articles, dont bother on that issue. I have just nominated the article for GA. Thanks, Cinadon36 12:39, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Cinadon36: The Guild of Copy Editors is in the midst of a drive to clear up an extensive backlog of copy edit requests. I am trying to help with this. Please add your article to the requests list and, depending how the backlog clearance is going, I'll try to get to it. I cannot promise when, though. Stay well Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:48, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Ok, thanks! Cinadon36 12:49, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

GA Review edit

I note that you are having a drive and somewhat busy. I selected an article for GA review and find that one Guild copy editor has placed a whole lot of notes on the review page - before I have even started the review. Please go here. All this looks like copy edit matters to me. Reviews and GOCE are all about improving articles, I agree. I have seen your good work when doing reviews and on several occasions have held off reviews until the GOCE process is complete: always welcomed! However, the review has been hijacked before it started, and my sense is that all the matters raised there belong on the talk page and not on the review page. I have placed the review on hold until I receive your kind advice and guidance. Thank you. --Whiteguru (talk) 01:34, 13 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • I have been advised that the matters have been resolved and implemented in the article, thank you. --Whiteguru (talk) 04:42, 13 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Something minor about your userpage edit

Hi TfT! Thank you for helping me and critiquing my work at GOCE.

This doesn't have anything to do with GOCE, and is probably a waste of your time, but I though I should tell you here.

In the Tools section of your userpage, you link to a tool to check deadlinks. Somewhat ironically, that link is dead, and is just a redirect to this page

Thought I should let you know. --Aknell4 (talkcontribs) 12:21, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Aknell4: Thanks! That's been there for years copied from somewhere else, no doubt. Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:30, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Partial copy-edit request edit

Hi Twofingered Typist. As you kindly undertook a full copyedit for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and I've since written a bit of further content (some of which concerned its FAC review), I was wondering if you could go through some of this prose and rephrase any as you see fit? The content I only need looking at concerns the information in "Gameplay" on medals, the Gun Game and Hardpoint modes, killstreaks, and taunting. Also, for Reception, please can you go over the prose on PCGamesN and Hardcore Gamer in the "Inclusion of microtransactions" paragraph, as well as the prose of the first paragraph in "Pricing of DLC...", starting from Hardcore Gamer to the end. This will also help keep the wording consistent with the rest of the copy-edited article, as almost none of your grammatical edits have been altered since your last visit. Many thanks!

@Wikibenboy94: I've run through these for you. Regards, Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:30, 24 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Twofingered Typist Thanks. I noticed though you hadn't edited the microtransactions paragraph. Did you not have an issue with any of the wording? Wikibenboy94 (talk) 12:32, 24 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Wikibenboy94: It looked/looks fine to me as is. TfT
