Don't worry about making an article perfect. Just make it better. (Motto of the day, July 30, 2007)
This is the talk page for Miniapolis (who is proud to be a Wikipedia editor) and is in fond memory ofCorinne, one of WP's very best copyeditors. Although I can be reached by email, I prefer keeping discussions on-wiki as much as possible. Due totime constraints,I no longer accept direct copyedit requests; please list articles requiring copyediting forGAN,FAC and the like on theGuild of Copy Editors request page (and consider pitching in with the GOCE, which can always use more help!) Since I take the occasional wikibreak, feel free to undo any administrative action I've taken as you see fit.
