News and updates for administrators from the past month (October 2021).
Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article "Tumbling Dice" has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
There are a couple of things I'll draw to your attention. I removed the word "chateau" In the Background and development section since it is not referred by that term in its WP article. Charlie Watts is quoted as saying "marinade". The correct word here should be "marinate", but I checked the source and he did say it, so I added sic after it. I also masked some details that were repeated in the Writing and development section. It's a toss up to me where this belongs. I've removed (1972) after every mention but one following Exile on Main Street. The year is mentioned once, repeated mentions are unnecessary and look odd. Incomplete quotations always have periods outside the final quotation mark (".). Fixed them. Numbers 1 through 9 are spelled out according to the MOS. They must also be in a consistent form, so I removed several "No."s. Finally, there were several mentions of recording in the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. From all I've read this was an engineering studio not a recording studio. The recording took place in the villa's basement.
Best of luck with the FA when you get to it.
Regards,

Hello:
As I go through and copy edit Mick Jagger I'm going to change No.1 etc... to "number" one. An FA reviewer was adamant that No. 1 etc... could not be used but I can't remember which article he was reviewing. I now can't find any consensus on this in the MOS, but I think "number" followed by the number in words is "untouchable". If you disagree let me know. It's easily changed.

Hello:
Please have a look at my last edit which combines Jagger's relationships and children together. This is an attempt to deal with proseline issues. I masked the original text so if you don't agree with this you can simply revert my edit. I won't do any more until I hear from you on this. Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:52, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello again! I hope you are doing well and staying safe. Apologies for the random message. I was wondering if you could help with my current FAC? I know it is a very different type of music than what you usually edit, but I still wanted to reach out to ask. I completely understand if you do not have the time or interest. Either way, best of luck with everything on and off Wikipedia. Aoba47 (talk) 20:06, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

You recently closed discussion on victim name treatment in the Kenosha killing. I’m embarrassed by my mistake in thinking the victims were black. Can I withdraw or strike though my mistake? Any advice or links appreciated. Dw31415 (talk) 20:24, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
