GOCE copy-edit to Victor Macedo

Hi Wracking, I hope all is well with you. Are you planning to continue your copy-edit of the Victor Macedo article, which you accepted at the requests page on 17 June? Your last edit at the article was 21:41, 23 June 2024‎. I pinged you to the request page but since you've not responded, I'm asking here. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 00:20, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for checking in! I thought that I had replied at WP:GOCE/R but I forgot to click publish... life got crazy IRL but I am now able to finish the copy edit. Wracking ^talk! 02:20, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, life happens. :) I'm glad you are well, thanks for updating. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 03:42, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

January 2023

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that this edit you made on Swedish Navy broke a citation "A Day Aboard HSwMS Kullen" (primarily the archive link). I think it was just a copy-paste error when using the visual editor, so probably nothing to be concerned about — I mean, I fixed it — but I just wanted to let you know in case there's some deeper problem. Cheers. — W.andrea (talk) 22:36, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed you also put the citation text directly in the explanatory footnote. There's a better way to do that: you can nest footnotes. In this case I used {{NoteTag}} for the note and and <ref> tags for the citation. — W.andrea (talk) 22:46, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
