Hello, I saw the "correction" you made to the commas-in-quotes bit I'd added. That's cool, but I thought I'd mention (since you teach writing) that in British English (which I was using there) the punctuation goes outside the quotes, i.e, something like this: He said "Hello". It's just one of those little differences we have, and not a criticism of the edit you made or anything like that. Which you use in Wikipedia depends on the subject, the first author, and a few other things. In this case, your correction was appropriate. Take care, Neale Neale Monks 18:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Neale, for reminding me so graciously. I actually did know this, but am so used to applying the American rule when editing student papers, I went into auto-pilot mode. From hereon, I'll only apply the American English rule if the rest of the article uses it. --Girl.at.bat 19:23, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proof Request

I just uploaded and article for Gyo Fujikawa and would love some copy editing. It's a short one, can you help? --Knulclunk 19:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
