Wikiforums

Hello Abduvaitov Sherzod 488 (talk) 09:09, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

How can I participate in Wikiforums? thank you Happy editing! Abduvaitov Sherzod 488 (talk) 09:10, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

@Abduvaitov Sherzod 488: I do not know of anything called "Wikiforums". If you are looking to participate in Guild of Copy Editors activities, there is our Mailing List where you can sign up; and there is a copy editing blitz that is about to start. If that is not what you are looking for, there is the Community portal, where you might find what you are looking for. Dhtwiki (talk) 10:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

It's just a long-term abuser. Ignore and move on. DMacks (talk) 10:18, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

@DMacks: Okay. How did you spot that so quickly? Dhtwiki (talk) 10:31, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

That account popped up on my radar from a different edit they made. Feel free to email if you want more details. DMacks (talk) 10:41, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I guess I understand that. I have done a bit of vandal fighting myself and, once such activity is discovered, it is natural to look for other edits from the same account as potentially problematic. So, probably not so magical after all. Dhtwiki (talk) 10:48, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Exactly. This one is fairly prolific. DMacks (talk) 10:55, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for copyediting my article!

Few months ago, you copyedited Charles Brenton Fisk. My grasp of English was much worse than my current level, so your copyedits was very helpful. I just wanted to drop a note of appreciation, since the article is now a GA. Ca ^{talk to me!} 04:31, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations on the good article. I'm happy to hear that my edits contributed to that success. Dhtwiki (talk) 08:25, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Asterisks at the requests page

Hi Dhtwiki, just to let you know the archiving bot at REQ ignores subsections that include asterisks. I'm not sure how we could tell requesters and copy-editors this; perhaps regular patrolling is the way to go. :) Cheers, Baffle☿gab 06:01, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

@Baffle gab1978: Okay. Good to know. But what I have been doing is clicking on the {{Working}} and {{Done}} templates provided by the menu that appears at the top when one presses the "edit" button for a particular section. That provides the asterisks along with the relevant Working/Done label and four tildes signature. We should then either change that menu or instruct people to edit out the asterisks. Dhtwiki (talk) 06:50, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

I see; thanks for telling me that, I always type them out manually. It will probably be easier to change that than change editors' behavior! :) Anyway it's a page notice so I can't do anything about it. I may bring this up on the requests talk page later today, though feel free to do so if you wish. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 09:17, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you

For counting the prose size for me! It wasn't working with my version of the gadget. Though please do note that I have already published a few edits on that page, and will probably need help counting at the end! I might also need help determining if my work is really done. Cheers!
