Reporting of edits for GOCE

[edit]

Dear User: Dhtwiki,

I am a member of GOCE and have started copy - edit from September only. I have just put in the number of words in the Article , before I started to edit.

Kindly confirm if I have done it correctly.

@Anupamdutta73: Thank you for your participation. Your entry at the September drive was malformed merely for want of an opening brace on one of the lines. See the correction I made here. Otherwise, it looks good. Dhtwiki (talk) 23:48, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Dhtwiki. The words in the report is the total number of words in the Articles and not what I contributed. I want to be extra sure. Anupam Dutta (talk) 02:13, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are supposed to take a word count of the article, or section thereof, before you start editing. That word count will probably not reflect the additions or subtractions you make, but is indicative of the amount of material you will have read through, which in itself is work, if done conscientiously, even if few edits have to be made.
