Bob Feller Act of Valor award peacock statement

Hi, can you spot check this line again in Bob Feller Act of Valor Award for tone: He took great pride in his time in the military, and never once regretted placing service to his country before himself. "I didn’t worry about losing my baseball career. We needed to win the war. I wanted to do my part." It still sounds a bit promotional / hagiographic. Perhaps change the first sentence punctuation to a semicolon? AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 17:33, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

AngusWOOF How about: He took pride in his military service, and never regretted putting it before himself. "I didn’t worry about losing my baseball career. We needed to win the war. I wanted to do my part." TfT

Yeah, that sounds better. Thanks! AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 15:19, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Armaan (2003 film)

Hello! Can you notify audreyw5678 to continue the copy-editing of the article Armaan? She has only made one edit since 6 June 2021. I would asked her about this myself, however, I think that it would make me looks impolite. Thank you! --Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 07:08, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
