Hi Miniapolis
[edit]Thanks for tagging the page Axial Twist hypothesis with {{Copy edit}}. I used Grammarly to make corrections and removed the tag again. I hope I did well enough, otherwise, I am grateful for further suggestions! Marci68 (talk) 12:56, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, Marci68, and thanks for your help. The page was listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Database Report here:
- 13 - Axial Twist theory - "aurofacial", "aurofacial", "aurofacial", "dorvsoventral", "poroblem", "aurofacial", "aurofacial", "cSnR", "asymmtries", "n.II", "n.III", "n.IV", "aurofacial"
Thanks for correcting "poroblem". The other hits seem to be technical terms, and I'll alert Beland. I tweaked your link to the copy-edit tag so the tag wouldn't display. All the best, Miniapolis 19:18, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- I have trimmed some jargon from the article and made a redirect for aurofacial asymmetry so this article (now Axial twist theory) should not show up on future reports. Thanks for flagging this! -- Beland (talk) 01:09, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, Beland, and I presume you moved the page to fix the capitalization too. All the best, Miniapolis 01:15, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive
[edit]
Hello Miniapolis:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
