Hi there! I was wondering that a page like Mantis the spider robot were to need a speedy deletion, what tag should I put there because there was only one category that could fit into that article was A7 under animals, is there a better tag for articles that have to do with robots, Thanks!

Speedy deletion criteria can be found at WP:CSD; please read and understand them before tagging articles. Also it's good practice to read the article's text before selecting a criterion. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 01:16, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please, re add my request of fashion copy edit to goce request page as I want an experienced editor to give it a thorough copy edit. Thank You.Prashant! talk 17:06, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You can request another copy-edit if you wish, but it would need to be a new request. Replacing it directly would be unfair to other requesters and disrespectful to Nishitpatira, who answered your request and seems to have done a good job. You can't pick and choose which GOCE copy-editor takes your request, but you can ask that an experienced editor takes the request. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 22:21, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, Nishipstira didn't copy edited it. Intact, the article was edited by an inexperienced editor (not from GOCE; who is credit thirsty). So, its not my problem. It is unfair to me as the article was near it top position of April request. So, please add it. It was waiting there and if not please, copy edit it yourself as I don't want to place a new request as it was not my fault.Prashant! talk 16:19, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As I'm unsure of what to do in this case I have brought this issue to the attention of the lead GOCE coordinator. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 23:32, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I replied at my user talk page. Thanks again very much for the copyedits, — Cirt (talk) 01:20, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, sounds good, so long as all sources are retained, I always give lots of wide leeway to copyeditors. :) — Cirt (talk) 01:34, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
