This will be something of a duplicate of a message I'll also post in reply to Mark Gould and Miniapolis on the Project Talk page.

Oh, my. Apologies. I believe I knew that awhile back but somewhere along the line, it must have faded ... perhaps in part because I work on mostly older articles and signing our name doesn't seem to come up with them.

Now that I've re-read the backlog drive directions, I think I see a helpful way to call attention about the need for signing and where it's to be done just slightly more clearly. I'll follow through on this with a suggestion elsewhere.

I was going to add, "Whatever you coordinators want to do about awarding points to Mark Gould, please do," but I see that Miniapolis has already suggested a solution in reply to Mark.Augnablik (talk)20:05, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your thorough and comprehensive copy edit. I truly appreciate your hard work, which has significantly improved the article's style and text. I am planning to nominate it for Good Article status in a couple of days.Borsoka (talk)02:40, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you in turn, @Borsoka. It was very well written and as someone with a deep interest in this very sort of topic, it was very enjoyable for me on another level than just copy editing. I can easily see it soon becoming a Good Article.

There are a few things I'd like to suggest further be done, apparently by you as the main author; but that will be on the article's Talk page, where I'll soon post a GOCE (Guild of Copy Editors) requested copy edit completed notification.Augnablik (talk)04:53, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
