Page talk:In the dozy hours, and other papers.djvu/131

@Londonjackbooks: It is very lazy, I suppose, my process for cleaning up text. I quickly proofread a bunch of pages, about seven, then catch some more errors when I actually read them. This may be some time later because I often like to look up things mentioned in the text, like Law's bubble, or am making a cup of tea, I drink a lot of it, or telling the dog how lovely he is, which he is (occasionally), it means I have left a page as 'proofread' that I might be going to check again. There are a couple of reasons why I do it that way, laziness being high on the list, but it does have the unfortunate consequence of creating an edit conflict if someone is validating as I go. Apologies if this has happened to you, an edit conflict, when you are helpfully applying fixes and find I have just done that to a page it appears I had moved on from. It is of course embarrassing for me to find that a number of errors on this page, marked as 'proofread', were fixed by you before I had a chance to correct it myself. I use the back function in browser, which reloads it from my cache, so I don't see the validation another has done. Perhaps I need to change my ways. CYGNIS INSIGNIS 16:47, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

@Cygnis insignis: Change nothing. I jumped the gun—"just in case"—despite being aware that you revisit pages, etc. Apologies are mine. Give your dog a pat on the head from me. Londonjackbooks (talk) 17:43, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
