Beaver

Hello, are you finished with your copyedit? LittleJerry (talk) 21:24, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1. Hello @LittleJerry:

2. Yes, I have made all the changes I feel capable of making. I hope they meet with your approval. Thank you for backing out the one that did not.

3. There are two changes I wanted to make but did not have the requisite knowledge or access to references to make. You may wish to consider them:

3.a. In the "Environmental Effects" section:

"Beaver modifications to streams in Poland have been associated with increased activity of bat species that hunt at the water surface and use [more] moderate vegetation clutter."

It isn't clear to me what "more" refers to in this sentence (more than what?) and I wanted to remove it but was afraid it would change the meaning of the sentence.

3.b. In the "Communication" section:

"An adult's tail slap is more successful in alerting others, which then escape into the lodge or deeper water."

I wanted to replace this sentence with:

"An adult's tail slap is more successful [than that of a juvenile] in alerting others, which then escape into the lodge or deeper water."

but was uncertain that this change was what the sentence author intended.

4. FYI, I happened upon this "Beaver" article by chance and it is coincidence that I was copyediting in parallel with Twofingered Typist, whose copyediting you requested. I am not connected with the GOCE.

5. Please, could you acknowledge receipt of this message so I know I have posted it correctly?

@LittleJerry:

Didn't sign my post in the previous session so you weren't notified, correcting that omission now.

Tammar wallaby

Would you be able to copyedit tammar wallaby? I made some recent addition and revisions. Thanks. LittleJerry (talk) 22:19, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@LittleJerry,

Yes, that looks like fun. Unfortunately I will not be able to give it my full attention until three days from now, so if you find someone else to copyedit I will follow along behind them at that time. Also I won't be much use yet for finding errors in citations and the other technical aspects -- I can only help with English grammar, vocabulary and syntax.

Disambiguation link notification for May 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hamilton-class cutter, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ESM. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 05:56, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CoI

It could be argued that you have a conflict of interest on that topic, and that you should therefore make full disclosure before continuing to edit that article.

Which you have already done. Good work. DS (talk) 03:50, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Annaspencer13 (talk) 09:07, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Hello. Thankyou for the information and letting me know of the fact that overlinking should be avoided. I will keep that in check. :)[reply]

Your change to Smith & Wesson Model 5906

I removed the misplaced maintenance template that your edit left in the wrong place - it was originally part of the next-lower section entitled Criminal uses, which was incrementally deleted from Oct/Nov 2023. Thx. 82.13.47.210 (talk) 22:22, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for removing the misplaced maintenance template. Please, why are you telling me this? My edit did not move or otherwise affect the maintenance template at all — it was misplaced when I got there. Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Dieter.Meinertzhagen (talk) 22:39, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You removed linked text (name), but what was left didn't make sense; therefore needed more examination than a mere drive-by. The template should've been at the top of a section - that was the giveaway. The (removed) heading made it more sensible along with the name - from memory I think there originally was a ref, too.

I am aware that some named editors consider IP addresses to be innately suspicious, and, as a random drive-by myself, having trawled through the history of changes including from IPs, I dropped you a note whilst I still had the tabs open. Thx.-- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.13.47.210 (talk) 14:38, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, no ref, just junk, too many tabs open at the time to remember clearly.--82.13.47.210 (talk) 14:45, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
