If you add it back to the request queue I'll c/e it when it reaches the top. There's drive in November so someone else might take it first; if not it should reach the top fairly quickly.

Hello, |

thank you for your copyedits! I translated Ehrenpreis and Goldene Ehrennadel. I am not sure if "needle" is the best translation for "Nadel". The prize looks like . Perhaps there is a special word for it in English. Regards.--] '''''(])''''' 20:16, 3 November 2012 (UTC) |

:Hi Tomcat - no worries, and thanks for explaining the awards. '"Ehrenpreis" (Honorary Award)" and '"Goldene Ehrennadel" (Golden Honorary Needle)' are fine in the article - we can understand that.

== Copy-Edit for literally 3 extremely short paragraphs == |

Hi, would you mind doing a copy-edit that should take like less then 5 minutes for ]? The lead and the one short paragraph in the "Splash Works" is all I'm asking. I'm trying to get the list to FLC and one of the reviewers said I should get the article copy-edited.--] (]) 20:20, 3 November 2012 (UTC) |

:Hi Dom, I appreciate that's a short article, but the answer is 'no'. I can't make exceptions - otherwise I'll be knee-deep in requests. I respectfully direct you to the advice in the fourth bullet point of my talk page, above. Cheers, ] (]) 20:50, 3 November 2012 (UTC) |

::So if I were to list the article on the request page would you copy edited it?--] (]) 23:35, 3 November 2012 (UTC) |
|
|
:::Yes I probably would, if it reaches the top before someone else grabs it. There's a drive on this month so you've a much better chance of getting a quick c/e. Mention that it's a short, lightweight article. I hope you understand me reasons for saying 'no' to you and the editor above; it's nothing personal. I used to take requests and had so many at one point I felt bogged down by them. It just got silly - see . So now I work from the GOCE queue and I feel much less frustrated on WP.

Hello again. I've added a Reception section to ] and was hoping you could copy-edit it. Some other things have changed to the article itself since you originally copy-edited it if you could do a quick look over to see if anything catches your eye. --] ] 05:10, 17 November 2012 (UTC) |

Hi Baffle, I really appreciate your c/e. I didn't realize my co-editor nominated it for the GOCE. That's awesome though, it's been sitting in limbo for a while until a third-party source came and assisted in its quest for GA. Let me know when you're done so I can maybe add a few things I felt were needed. Again, thanks a lot for the help :)--] • ] 00:30, 11 November 2012 (UTC) |

:No worries; I'm moving lots of text from 'Music and lyrics' to 'Reception', and moving similar/repeated text from ' Development and recording', and have already removed much text which I felt was waffly. Feel free to discuss my removals etc. Also, please see my comments ]. Cheers, ] (]) 00:40, 11 November 2012 (UTC) |

::Sure thing buddy! I agree that often quotes and paragraphs are misplaced into the wrong sections. I took a quick glance and I don't really seem to have any queries with your removals. Only thing I might re-add to some extent are those quotes you posted on the talk page. They seem beneficial to the article.--] • ] 00:55, 11 November 2012 (UTC) |
