Revision as of 04:44, 14 February 2010

Link the article below on which you have made a copy edit to the draft of an approved article. A sysop will look over the change and make a judgment about whether or not to make the correction.

Copyedit corrections to approved articles can be made outside the approval process provided the change does not change the meaning of the sentence. If the sysop rules that a copyedit constitutes a content edit, the article will need to be re-approved.


On the WP list it is listed as open. Sorry, I did not check the page. Peter Schmitt 01:27, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Frederick Twort (WP "approved error")
    • Needs more consideration. "...discovered that bacteriophages are viruses that attack and destroy bacteria." Twort likely discovered that certain viruses destroyed bacteria. It is not obvious to me whether he coined the term "bacteriophage" or whether this came later. I don't feel comfortable giving him this credit without more information. An editor would be great as this does have an element of content reform. D. Matt Innis 01:09, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Certainly appreciate your thoughts. I've responded on the talk page. Chris, maybe you can help as well. D. Matt Innis 04:01, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
