First copyediting?

What are you working on?--DThomsen8 (talk) 20:57, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Need some more information about editing a longer piece

I am working on grammatical and style for Evin Prison. It needs extensive stylistic work and the second section is long. I would like to use the Sandbox but I am not sure if that is appropriate. I could also copy and paste into a Word document. If I do either the sandbox or the Word doc can I then just replace a whole section with my editing? Also I noticed that one statement mentioned (needs citation) I am not sure how to add that phrase. Scribe4562 (talk) 01:09, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Always provide a link when you ask about an article, making it easy for a helper to look at the article. I added the link for you. When working on a longer article:

• • Your sandbox would be fine.
  • You could use MS WORD, but following the syntax and conventions for Wikipedia can be tricky.
    • Before you paste something back in, check the history to be sure another editor has not made a change before yours.

I suspect that you lack confidence in doing the changes directly in the article. Use the sandbox, and then repeat the changes in the live article.--DThomsen8 (talk) 01:39, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Braces have faces!

Here are two templates to add to Evin Prison as you work on it.

Replace the copyedit template at the top with this template, changing * to {:

• {GOCEinuse|user=Scribe4562|date=September 2015}}

Remove that when you are done, and add this template on the talk page , changing * to {:

• {GOCE|user=Scribe4562|date=September 2015}}

That one says you are done.

Cheers!--DThomsen8 (talk) 12:40, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

I hope you will do this before copyediting much more on Evin Prison.--DThomsen8 (talk) 23:48, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Is there a meeting on October 13?

I made notes at the last meeting that we would reconvene at the Chemical Heritage Foundation on the 2nd Tuesday of October. I plan to attend. Please confirm that my information is correct. Mary PierScribe4562 (talk) 16:57, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Good to see you there.--DThomsen8 (talk) 15:14, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
