Request comments for 1920 Xalapa earthquake
[edit]Hi! I see you're from WP:PR so I'm requesting if you could take a look at the article's prose while the peer review is active. I hope to bring this to FAC, which will be my first time, but prose is something I need help with. Please let me know if you have the time. Thanks Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 11:24, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Dora the Axe-plorer: I'm very sorry for not getting back to you on this; I'm honestly a little lost on how I missed it for this long! Seems like you got some feedback, fortunately, and I would not have been able to give you a review at the time in any case. I wish you luck with your FAC! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:25, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for improving articles in November! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:42, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
I uploaded pics of a trip that was a 10-day celebration of a 16 November event, but the day was also when a dear friend died. We sang Hevenu shalom aleichem at his funeral yesterday, and it was good. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
