I no longer accept requests to carry out copy edits, though I may make very rare exceptions for classical music, sacred music and music theory articles that interest me. For topics other than these, I recommend using the Guild of Copy Editors Requests page.

Hello, you have removed today the article Adam Kadmon (character) from the list, because it was deleted from the AfD. It has been recovered and renominated.
Is it possible to add it back again in the Guild_of_Copy_Editors requests? Thank you --★ Pikks ★ MsG 14:29, 19 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Done. Yes, that's fair, but I've marked it as on hold pending the result of the AFD. First, let's see if the community agrees that there should be an article on this subject. If the AFD closes as KEEP, I'll remove the on-hold notice, and it won't have lost its place in the queue. Regards, --Stfg (talk) 16:43, 19 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
- (talk page stalker) If this survives AfD it should probably go to ARS or cleanup; that's just my opinion though—there's no formal reason it couldn't go through the GOCE. Perhaps the article could be tagged appropriately; I know there's a backlog but it'll get done eventually. On that subject, Simon, I've been pondering whether there should be links between the various article improvement projects, but I think that discussion is a little way down the line (I'll probably open a discussion on the main GOCE talk page if I ever think it out properly!). Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 17:30, 19 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
- Hi Baffle. If it survives AFD, isn't it too late for ARS? But asking ARS to help right now might be a good idea, if Pikks wants to. I do have a feeling that it might be a notable topic but the current article may be confusing people about that. Just the sort of case ARS is there for. I have no view about GOCE vs. Cleanup, as the boundaries aren't clear to me. Which seems to support your second point; that discussion could indeed be useful. Cheers, Simon. --Stfg (talk) 17:46, 19 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
- Thanks for helping. I made a lot of contributions in that article, and I am afraid that what will influence the AfD is the way on how the article is written, not the notability which is met. I mean, it's not that bad, but still not very good. I'd like to enhance it even more, to edit the biased sentences and reword them, but I am afraid that my English is not good enough to find the right wording and make it 100% unbiased. That's why I sent it to the Guild of Copy Editors. I hope somebody will help to reword it in the correct way. Do you have any suggestions? Is there any place in Wiki where there are editors willing to help even if a AfD is going on? --★ Pikks ★ MsG 20:39, 19 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
- The Article Rescue Squadron may be able to help. I don't know very well how they are organised, but you could ask at Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron and see if anyone offers. (If anyone is watching this page and has other suggestions, please say so.) --Stfg (talk) 23:27, 19 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
- If the article can be clarified so that I know a) whether Kadmon is real, pseudonymous or fictional, b) what he is notable for, and c) at least two English-language references from at least two suitable sources confirming both a and b, I'll cut the article down to two or three lines (stubify) and move the rest to either the article's talk page or preferably the OP's user space as a draft. I'll remove the conspiracy theories, television listings and other waffle; the article can then be rewritten. Pikks, if want to take me up on this offer, contact me on my talk page.

- I see that Mark has offered to userfy on request. This seems the best outcome. Thanks for letting me know. --Stfg (talk) 09:45, 11 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hi,
I noticed you said the FAC page is difficult for you to load. I recommend Wikipedia:Nominations Viewer, a script that collapses all nominations upon loading the page. You can install it with a single line in your monobook.js; it has some setting options but I use it in its default state. The script doesn't really reduce the loading time—it loads everything, then collapses sections—but it makes it a thousand times easier to navigate the page when scanning for a likely FAC to review. Hope you find it helpful; I appreciate your GoCE work and would love to see you do more FAC reviews. Maralia (talk) 14:56, 10 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
- Thanks, Maralia, that looks very useful. It didn't actually work when I tried it yesterday, but that's such a useful tool that I'll probably keep trying with it. I think the issue on IE8 is rendering time, not download time, so this would probably be just the ticket. Cheers, --Stfg (talk) 09:45, 11 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hi there!
I'm the person who requested the edit to the Kiss page on 2 October 2013. Thank you for doing the needful. Whenever you have the time, please do visit the Talk page of Man,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Man
and read the request that I had made on 12 February 2013 and what transpired after that. You will then realize the reason for my request on the Kiss page and the fact that I fully expected to see what I asked to be edited.
I believe that editors on Wikipedia should be aware of what some people are up to. You'll get a full description there and in the message that I left Jimmy Wales. Do be on the lookout for similar Indian claims.
My best wishes to you!

- Hello Andrew, nice to meet you. There's agenda-driven editing from many sources here, unfortunately. It's a mistake to make (or to believe) sweeping generalizations about Indian or any other large group of editors. In "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit", there are bound to be a few bad apples. My own approach is simply to do what can be done, piecemeal, to report the naughty ones, again piecemeal, and to avoid getting emotionally involved as far as possible. I think this is the only way to survive the Internet. Cheers, --Stfg (talk) 14:15, 14 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
You recently participated in the FAC review of L'Arianna which resulted in the article's promotion. Could you spare a minute to look at, and possibly make a comment on, a discussion on the article's talkpage, here, about a change to the article's lead image. Many thanks.

- First off, congratulations on getting it to FA. Personally I find the Titian more dynamic, and therefore more interesting, than the Turchi, but that's only a personal preference. I have no idea how much the fact of being a contemporary painting weighs in these questions. So I don't feel qualified to weigh in there. By the way, though, I do agree with Amandajm about the semicolons. Overuse of them can come to seem like a tic. Cheers, --Stfg (talk) 22:08, 14 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
