Question about GOCE backlog elimination drive[edit]
Hi Miniapolis (talk · contribs)! I have a question about the January GOCE drive. On the drive page, it says "If it was tagged in November and December 2020, place *O (using plain text) after the word count." Is the "*O" for an old tagged article? In that case, I think the oldest tagged articles are from September. What am I missing? Thanks for your help! TheMadDesperado (talk) 01:28, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- You're right, and I fixed the instructions. Thanks for noticing! Stay well and all the best, Miniapolis 02:38, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Marcelo Gallardo copyedit[edit]
Hey Miniapolis! I wanted to thank you for taking up my request and doing the much-needed copyediting on Marcelo Gallardo's article. I'm about to nominate it for tha GA status. Since you carefully read the article you're welcome with any suggestions to improve it. I haven't worked on wiki in quite a while and I'm still refreshing the old reflexes. Have a nice day! --Gunt50 (talk) 18:14, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
