Select a different article to proofread from the articles ready for final proofread section.

[edit] Ayudeme para ayudarle

Reel [1]

Indus is the adjetive for the Indu indigenous group. As "Colombian" is the adjetive for "Colombia", or "Chilean" for Chile.

Thanks for your help,

Thanks. I made that edit to the article. Unimaginative Username 19:14, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Latin plural

(This is from memory only) : Once terms have "passed" from latin to english (for example) I think they "lose" their plural sense. For example I would say I have on agenda, not one agendum, and I have two agendas, not two agenda. Typing "agenda plural" in google gave me this as the first result ; [3]. I think that gives you your answer. Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 13:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

From [4]:Agenda" -- formally a plural of agendum, but usually used as a singular with plural. -das or -da." This being an encyclopedia, I go with setting a good example by using the formal. I have one agendum or two agenda. Thanks for writing. Unimaginative Username 16:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. And yes you seem to be right. Thanks for permitting me to learn that. Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 12:44, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rock Springs Massacre

Thanks a lot for the help with the copy edit. Sometimes you look at something so many times and you don't notice the simplest mistake, you know what I mean? Thanks again. IvoShandor 03:12, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome, and yes, I do! Almost finished with the first pass, but I need to look again with fresh eyes in the next couple of days. Unimaginative Username 03:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Well I greatly appreciate it. I think this article is on it's way. If you notice anything else glaring, that is to say not minor, be sure to mention it, either on the talk page or on the peer review which is now currently open. Thanks again. : ) IvoShandor 03:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I think that's all these eyes can do at this time. Will try to take a fresh look in the next few days if time permits. Good luck with the process. Incidentally, I learned a lot about the subject matter from reading your article - that's a bonus of editing! :) Unimaginative Username 03:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

That's why I like to do peer reviews btw, this event is fairly obscure so I was happy to add it to Wikipedia. The statement is about percentages, don't know what happened there. The other change sounds good as well. Thanks for doing all this work, I know it was kind of jacked up. IvoShandor 18:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
