List of Australian Leaders of the Opposition

What needs to be done on List of Australian Leaders of the Opposition? Pardon me for not seeing any C/E issues, but of course it could be an Australian English problem.--DThomsen8 (talk) 13:25, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

There have been a few dozen edits since the copy edit tag was installed, so it might be fine.

The first sentence is awkward; the antecedent of "who" is unclear. I would convert it into two or more sentences. Otherwise, I would read it aloud to look for flow that doesn't make sense. I don't see anything glaring. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:21, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Two sentences.  Done--DThomsen8 (talk) 15:04, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

GoCE people, get on with it.

There are still 36 articles on the Blitz list, with only half of June left. GoCE people, get on with it.--DThomsen8 (talk) 15:03, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Erm, Dthomsen8, the Blitz doesn't start until... erm... now! Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 00:00, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

So I rather jumped the gun with the List of Australian Leaders of the Opposition and so haven't participated in the Blitz?--DThomsen8 (talk) 14:45, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Not yet, but there's still plenty of time, and a nice list of articles. Go for it! – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:06, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Requesting review

This is my 1st copyedit as a member of the guild. I have copyedited Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, can anyone review it.--Skr15081997 (talk) 08:24, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

You improved the article substantially, making it easy for me to give it a little more polish. Nice work. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:38, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Can anyone review Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, which I have copyedited recently.--Skr15081997 (talk) 10:12, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

You also made considerable improvements to this longer article. It needed one more editing pass. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:04, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Jonesey95, thanks a lot for the encouraging reviews. I will try to do better copyedits.--Skr15081997 (talk) 07:11, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
