I am a member of the WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors, which exists to improve the prose of Wikipedia's articles – most commonly by reducing the backlog of articles that other editors have flagged as needing copyedited. I copyedited the very strange number of 9999 words in the March 2013 drive. In the March 2013 Copyedit of the Month, I won with my copyedit of w:en:Geopolitics. These GOCE projects are rewarding and enjoyable – please consider participating in the next one!
Administrative responsibilities take up some of my time these days, but I have contributed to some recognised content in the past. I collaborated on w:en:Royal prerogative in the United Kingdom and the Scottish Portal. I started w:en:List of FIFA World Cup finals, but that page was taken to featured articles by more esteemed and hard-working editors than I. The vast majority of my mainspace work these days is in copyediting.
Like most long-term contributors, I use shorthand in my edit summaries. r means "reply (to another editor's question or comment)". c is "posted a comment to this discussion". v is "vote (usually in a straw poll, or on a committee motion or proposal". ce is "copyedit". I try to use full edit summaries when I edit the mainspace. If the reason for my edit isn't clear, even from examining its diff, please get in touch with me and I will explain as promptly as possible. I always use full summaries when blocking another editor; please slap me with a wet trout if I ever fail to do so.
I also contribute to the template namespace. Much of {{Ivmbox}}, {{ArbComOpenTasks}}, and {{alert}} (as well as some of the other {{Ds}} templates) is my work. I'd be happy to help with your template, if you ask on my talk page, but I don't write Lua.
Thanks for copyediting 10,445 words during the March GOCE drive! All the best, Miniapolis 22:53, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

For going above and beyond the call of duty, for taking the initiative and boldly revamping a key page badly in need of attention, starting over from scratch and rebuilding the newcomer greetings page in an elegant graphics style. The Transhumanist (December 2008)

Hi! I just want to say I am really proud of you for taking the feedback from your RfA and putting it into a positive list of aims. Good job! Jerry lavoie (February 2007)
Here's a w:en:pomegranate for you! Pomegranates somehow promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving something friendly to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Make your own message to spread WikiLove to others! Happy editing! Húsönd (April 2007)

Anthony, I just want to thank you for the way you handled the Green Kirby unblocking case. It wasn't a simple matter at all and you put a lot of effort in to being as honest, AGFy and patient as could be. Many other admins would have slammed the door shut but you didn't, and I applaud you for that. While I won't comment on your decision either way, I think you did an excellent job and gave this editor every fair chance. Alison❤ (November 2007)
