For very kindly proofreading the article Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom. Your edits have greatly improved its quality. PeterSymonds | talk 16:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your valuable contributions! Keep up the good work :) PeterSymonds | talk 16:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Princess Beatrice proofing

Hi Giler, In response to your note on my talk page, I looked at the proofing changes you made to Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom, and in general I agree with your changes. I want to add that I'm glad you've joined us. We have a pretty big pile to work through, and more seems to be added every day. I especially appreciated your catches of the US spellings that you quite properly changed to UK spellings; that is one of my areas of weakness. I debated internally a great while over "queen" vs. "Queen" and tried to find specific guidance in the MOS and looked at a couple of other articles about queens before veering toward lower-case in most instances. However, not being a UK native, I'm also weak on titles and how they are used in the UK, and neither the MOS nor the other articles made a clear case one way or the other as far as I could tell. I defer to your judgment on "Queen" and similar titles. I could see only one thing to revert among the changes you made, and it involved the insertion of a no-break-space and the removal of the surrounding spaces in the date range in the first sentence. The MOS guidelines on such constructions is clear though hard to find. It's in WP:MOSNUM. Your no-break code is still there; I simply added a space on either side of it. My best. Finetooth (talk) 18:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Emma Watson proofing

Hi Giler, Everything you did to the Emma Watson article made it better. Finetooth (talk) 21:02, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Death of Poe proofing

Hi Giler, You made a fairly large number of entirely helpful changes. I only saw one that I wanted to revert. Your change reads: "He also claimed that Poe had said, quite poetically, as he had prepared to draw his last breath... " I don't think that second "had" is correct. I'd suggest using "He also claimed that Poe had said, quite poetically, as he prepared to draw his last breath... " If you agree, you might go back and revert that one. Finetooth (talk) 22:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request

Hi Giler. If you get the chance, I'd be grateful if you could proofread Melodifestivalen; it was copyedited a few months back but never proofread. Since the copyedit it's been promoted to FA so there shouldn't be much work needed. I'm hoping to get the article on the Main Page in March, and the more I see the LoCE template on the talk page, the more I think it'll be a barrier to it getting there. I can't nominate it for the MP for a few weeks yet, so there's no rush. Thanks in advance. Chwech 20:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I never made one but I can certainly look into it. Should be that big of an issue to do, I'll let you know when I get to it :) Cheers — WilsBadKarma (Talk) 23:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hi Giler, I've been more-or-less cut off from the Internet for about a week, but I'm back on today. I've been meaning to say encouraging things. As you've seen, LoCE often seems to be buried under a pile of requests, and your keen eye and hard work are much appreciated. Finetooth (talk) 18:59, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] If you're interested...

Hi Giler. You kindly proofread Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom for me a few weeks back. You expressed an interest in pages to do with royalty. I rewrote an article about Beatrice's sister, Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll which I uploaded last week, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in giving it an unofficial copyedit. I realise that the requests list at WP:LOCE must be your priority, and that you may not get to Prcss L. for some time, but I thought I would ask as it's your field of interest. If you can't, please feel free to ignore this message; I don't want to trouble you unnecessarily :) All the best, PeterSymonds | talk 23:19, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
