GOCE invitation

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors, a WikiProject dedicated to improving Wikipedia articles through copy editing. You are receiving this invitation because someone has noticed the quality of your edits and your commitment to improving the content of Wikipedia. Please see our project page for more information and reasons to join. You may wish to join us during our backlog elimination drives, help fulfill editor requests, or simply become a part of our supportive community. We hope to help you so that you can help make Wikipedia a better place! ~~~~

Hi Drianmcdonald, I'm Baffle_gab1978, a coordinator at the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE). I saw your edits at Molecular diagnostics and wondered whether you'd like to join the Guild. The article is currently awaiting a GOCE copy-edit, requested here by another editor. May I ask whether you intend to further expand the article? If so, a copy-edit is probably pointless at the moment and the request can be declined. Meanwhile, I'll wish you happy editing and I hope you decide to stay around. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 05:51, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After the work you did turning that article form a load of incomprehensible 'stuff' to an article that is worthy of its place here I commend the invitation to you. Fiddle Faddle 08:59, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Molecular diagnostics

The article Molecular diagnostics you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Molecular diagnostics for things which need to be addressed.

Citing a segment of a journal article that's in Wikisource

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

As I was reading a letter relevant to Jain vegetarianism#Historical_background, I noticed it was on Wikisource. So I thought I'd add it as a reference.

It's included in a 1933 journal article (which is what I was reading). But the Wikisource cite templates seem to assume that if your article is part of something else (eg a Journal) then the whole something else is part of the Wikisource URL.

Anyway, you can see my struggles in my May 12 revision to that page; in the end, I kludged it by including the necessary info the volume. But it'd be nice to know how to get both the correct Wikilink, and the correct Journal citation.

Hi Drianmcdonald. I've tweaked the citation a little using the "chapter", "plaintitle" and "editor" parameters. The problem here is you have a letter within an article within a book, and the template doesn't seem to support that degree of precision. Hopefully I've improved the situation a bit but it's not perfect so I'll leave the help notice up. benzband (talk) 15:37, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You might be able to get around the issue by using the {{cite journal}} template instead - cite the journal using that template and add the Wikisource link in the URL parameter. Just a thought. Yunshui ^雲 _水 10:31, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong keyboard settings? ;) Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 13:25, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It looked okay before I pressed save. Perhaps there was an accidental copy and paste with the mouse that I didn't notice? I'm not sure what happened, but that'll teach me to skip preview. Thank you for catching it. Ian McDonald (talk) 13:54, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
