Hi there. I've started a new initiative, the Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. It's a long term goal to bring about 10,000 article improvements to the UK and Ireland. Through two contests involving just six or seven weeks of editing so far we've produced over 1500 improvements. Long term if we have more people chipping it and adding articles they've edited independently as well from all areas of the UK then reaching that target is all possible. I think it would be an amazing achievement to see 10,000 article improvements by editors chipping in. If you support this and think you might want to contribute towards this long term please sign up in the Contributors section. No obligations, just post work on anything you feel like whenever you want, though try to avoid basic stubs if possible as we're trying to reduce the overall stub count and improve general comprehension and quality. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:47, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Doug Coldwell, I was surprised and rather disappointed to see that you resumed GA reviewing over the past couple of days, given the issues with your previous attempts. Unfortunately, the results were not good.
Your GA reviews earlier this year were far from adequate: as I'm sure you saw after you allowed me to work on them in your stead, you missed a very great deal, from basic prose errors to factual mistakes: things that no reviewer should miss. I'm sorry if I wasn't clearer that this wasn't a task you were good at; I guess I thought the example of just how much more needed to be done would serve.
Based on Fram's comments and examples of your new reviews, it's clear that you have not improved in the interim. Under the circumstances, you should not be reviewing articles for GA, certainly not again this year, and probably not next year either. Should you wish to return after that, it would be nice if you gave a heads-up; in any event, your first review should not be concluded without the examination and concurrence of a mentor, who should be an experienced and careful reviewer. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I think this is for the best. Your enthusiasm is better suited to other areas of Wikipedia. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello, Doug Coldwell. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for St. Nicholas Hotel (New York City) at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! – Corinne (talk) 01:41, 2 September 2016 (UTC) |
Hello, Doug -- As you can see, I've completed the copy-edit of St. Nicholas Hotel (New York City) that you requested at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. I found it quite interesting. You'll also see that I made quite a few changes to the sentences, re-arranging and combining some to improve comprehensibility, sentence flow, and paragraph cohesion. I also removed some words that I thought were unnecessary. Please ask me if you have any questions about any of the changes I made.
A few questions:
1) I was puzzled by the sentence about the architecture, the second-to-last sentence in the Description paragraph. It didn't seem to make sense. I changed it to something that made more sense to me, but since I don't know a whole lot about architecture, I can't be sure I got it right. Please correct the sentence or let me know if anything is wrong.
2) I was puzzled by the use of the word "saloon" (in "hair-cutting saloon") in the caption of the second image in Description and in the second paragraph in St. Nicholas Hotel (New York City)#Interior. Today, we use the word "salon", at least in the U.S. I wondered if "saloon" were an old-fashioned version of "salon", so I did a little research. If you look at the entry for "saloon" in Merriam-Webster On-line, at [1], there is first a section called Simple Definitions. You'll see that none of the definitions refer to a place where hair is cut or styled. Then there is a section called Full Definition of Saloon. You'll see that Definitions a, b, and d are marked chiefly British, and Definitions c and e are not so marked, so are American meanings. Definition c, marked chiefly British, is the British word for the American word "salon" (definition 4) (you can click on the link to get to the entry for "salon"). Now, it is possible that the word "saloon" was used in the sources; the sources (which I haven't looked at) might be by British writers, or might be by American writers affecting British English in the early 20th century or late 19th century. But since "saloon" connotes a bar to American readers, and this article is, I believe, written in American English (and should be, given the subject matter) I suggest that we use the word "salon" or "barbershop" in this article, both in the article itself and for the caption. If you want, we could link "salon" to the Wiktionary definition: [[Wikt:salon|salon]].
3) Another thing about this room: both from the picture of the "hair-cutting saloon" (in which are seen only men getting their hair cut) and from the last sentence in the second paragraph in the Interior section, it seems fairly certain that it was only for men (or was it? Do you have any information otherwise?). If so, then perhaps either "men's hair-cutting salon" or "barbershop" should be used instead of just "salon". Also, the phrase "barbershop saloon", introducing the fact that it was for men only, appears in the second sentence about the room whereas it should appear in the first sentence, which is the one right before it.
I'd actually like to combine those two sentences as follows:
If you approve, we'll substitute this for the last two sentences in the second paragraph in St. Nicholas Hotel (New York City)#Interior.
4) I changed "slivers" to "a sliver". I don't think "slivers" makes much sense; it's a small part of what was once a huge building. If you don't agree, then I would suggest "two narrow sections".
5) Just out of curiosity, I clicked on the image of the hotel's menu. I was surprised there was a whole section of Boiled foods. We wouldn't see that on menus today (except perhaps in Boston). Maybe today it would be Stews, or Stewed foods. Also, if you look at the section of Roast foods, you'll see Pork at the end of the first line, and then Pig in the middle of the second line (there's Ham also). I wonder what Pig was that wasn't Pork. Well, that's all. – Corinne (talk) 02:31, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
