Hi, thank you for copyediting my text. However you duplicated the text of the lede ad I am not sure which copy is copyedited. Please fix it. Loew Galitz (talk) 22:30, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for catching that! It's weird, it wasn't like that when I was looking back over it the other day -- no matter. I just deleted the non-CE'd section. ItsMackie (talk) 19:06, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've reviewed your copy edit of Tanais Tablets – good work! It looked like the article might have had some translation issues and you did a good job of smoothing out the text. A few minor notes:

• dated to the late 2nd-3rd century AD. With numeric ranges (even ordinals) we use an en dash instead of a hyphen: "2nd–3rd century". Generally, hyphens are used to join things together (conjunction) while dashes are used to separate them (disjunction). There are explanations and examples at MOS:DASH.
• Good work getting the units for the dimensions, though ideally we like to have measurements in both metric and imperial. I used {{convert}} for this, which also takes care of the formatting such as producing × instead of x. (Convert is one of my favourite templates; there's a lot that it can do.)
• Ideally, the big quotes might be put into a block quote or perhaps {{verse translation}} for a side-by-side translation. This would give some formatting consistency to make it a little more obvious what it is, especially for people using screen readers and to keep bots from mistakenly changing it. Also, the source of the translations should have inline citations. I left it as-is, because I'm too lazy to check the sources.
• which is apparent as is mentioned Tiberius Julius Rhescuporis II I think that's a typo: is mentioned → it mentions.
• I also threw in some non-breaking spaces such as Rhescuporis II.
• You removed the inline external link [[:fr:Pavel Leontiev|Pavel Leontyev]]. That's good, we don't want to have readers unexpectedly go off-site, particularly to another language. However, there is a permissible way to link to other Wikipedias using {{interlanguage link}}, as was done in the article lead.

It's fairly minor stuff, and some of that is more cleanup than copy-editing. You can see my changes in this diff. Thanks for your work and I hope you'll continue with this month's copyediting drive. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to {{ping|Reidgreg}} and post here. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:10, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Robert Blalack, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page St. Paul's School. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello, ItsMackie. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Vito Marzullo".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
