[edit] Copy Edits, etc.

I did various corrections which could qualify as copy-edits and also Wikifying. Such as:

  • Insert "the" every so often.
  • Remove links from section heading and opening sentence.
  • Rework a sentence or two to be more readable.
  • Remove second and subsequent links to the same place (there were many, so I may have missed some). I don't know if this is policy, but it does get a bit distracting when every mention of "Russia", "Russian", "Prussia", etc., is linked. It seems to be that the convention is to link only the first occurrence of a word. Is that right?
  • Remove the phrase "due to purchase of the larger number of shares". I was at a loss as to how to phrase this properly so I just took it out - someone else may do better at it.
  • The last two paragraphs of the Warsaw — Vienna line section need to be reworked, but it's not just a question of grammar, there is a semantic problem, and I don't know enough of the subject to work out exactly what was meant (or maybe I'm just tired, I'll give it a try again if no one else has done anything).

I only got as far as the above section, and will give it another go later ... Peashy 12:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

  • I attempted the cleanup of the above last two pargraphs, I think they read better now.
  • The sentence about the dismissal of the Catholic Poles seems out of place; it may be important, but would be better in a discussion around the management of the building rather than in the timeline.
Now completed to the end of Prussian lines.
  • I don't know what the last sentence of this section means, and so have left it, but it should be clarified. Peashy 11:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
