Thank you...(something I learned from Ariel: no long run-ons)

Your help will be highly appreciated. It will take me a while to get organized too. Since I've learned some of the standard program symbols I usually type something elsewhere and then 'paste' it into the page, references and all. Usually, it works. Have a good fortnight, Shir-El too 23:13, 4 May 2008 (UTC) P.S. the Mary H. Herbert list of works (outdated, BTW) was there already. The bio was one line. Nonetheless will follow-up on your suggestion. Merci, Shir-El too 23:20, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At your convenience: re-wrote Mary H. Herbert bibliography. Thank you, Shir-El too 11:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PS Quite a few articles drop the word "to" (i.e. "going finish" instead of "going to finish") and do not have a comma after a year, i.e. "May, 2006..." instead of "May, 2006,..." do these reflect changes in the English language or merely sloppy style? Thank you again, Shir-El too 11:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again. I'm asking because I've lived outside the US most of my life and away from changing language conventions. For example the first time I heard lucked out I assumed it meant "luck had run out", not its current meaning of "in luck" or "lucky". Or the line in your reply: "Though usually it can down to the writer's taste." I would have written "...it comes down to...". Let me know if I'm knit-picking: if I'm going to continue copy-editing I'd rather be good at it. All the best, Shir-El too 19:17, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Advice time again...

I originally ran across The White House Project in the list of articles needing copy edit from January 2007. After looking it over I added both spam and advertising tags as it seems both are appropriate. Following protocol I also notified the original contributors. As of now both tags are missing from the page and instead it just reads Citations needed. Would you check this out, please, as it is my understanding this goes against accepted standards. Thank you, Shir-El too 00:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, read the reviser's comments, but why something should be kept because it's two years old only means it hasn't been gotten to yet. Sorry, Shir-El too 10:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I begin to understand the reasoning. No need to apologize for time lags: we all have 'em. Like the nice Eskimo parting, "Sometime again" is always good enough. Thank you again, Shir-El too 21:06, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption

Hi,

I have noticed you have adopted a user (which is a great thing) but at this time you do not meet the prerequisite on the minimum ammount of edits (500) as set out on the adopt a user page. I have noticed however that you may have renamed your account. Please contact me regarding this so that we may clarify weather a co-adopter must be assigned. thanks «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™ |l» 09:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for your reply, it is as i thought (you had to pretty a userpage to be a novice :-). I randomly check adopters contrib counts just to make sure that they can handle themselves, I hope you didnt take my enquiry personaly or offensivly. Thanks again «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™ |l» 12:12, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Crazy question...

This is the second or third time I log-on, edit an article, preview it two or three times to save time, then when I finally "Save" the page shows no log-in and my IP appears in the history instead of my Username. Is there a time limit on log-ins, or a limit to how many times I can hit the "Preview" button? Would appreciate your in-put or suggestion who to ask. PS I'm still working on the Meroth material and will present it as soon as it is 'presentable'. :] Thank you, Shir-El too 20:12, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another one: the tag reads "This User is a member of the League of Copyeditors", OK? Then why does the tag on my current userpage read "This User was a member of the League of Copyeditors"???? Shir-El too 20:24, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your assistance would be appreciated

Hi,

You don't remember me from a long time ago. But I asked if you could mentor me when I first started my account. I would like your advice on the following image: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Image:WyattKeke-by-rod-spicer.jpg. I uploaded it using the Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline.

thanks. Bab-a-lot (talk) 02:33, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
