• Lucky starfish grammar/spelling corrections, pleases -- "Fundamentally sound entry that has been lightly edited for SPAG. Main changes: pronouns are regularized to "it", with minor tweaks to spelling and grammar" -- Cham Almighty (talk) 18:17, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

• JanuWiki 2019 — Rearranged, modified for clarity. Awesome work, Djonni. — SourceRunner, 28DEC2018

January 2019

• Exclamation pint — Brilliant! Minor changes: added a couple of links where appropriate, corrected "Monstro City", one duplicate 'the'. Also, it seems the in-game spelling is "liana-eyebrows", so pipe linked. An excellent article! -- Djonni (talk) 11:39, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Exclamation pint -- Not really a writing review request, but I added a crappy picture. If a reviewer can make the check and acknowledgement. Thx in advance!(yeah i love this formula) -- WardPhoenix

Done :) -- Djonni (talk) 11:47, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

• Bear Minimum - Good article. Some corrections to phrasing made while hopefully keeping Terezka's intent. {{Hero or heroine}} template implemented & made change to 3rd person throughout. -- S624 (talk)

• The Sword & Sandal — Modified some phrasing and capitalized "Godville Arena". A very "godvillian" take on the name, cool article! -- Holy Spirit of Hell (talk) 21:03, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

• Sit in a tavern and write fake diary entries — Triple checked that the templates and offsets were doing what they were supposed to do, removed one or two errant spaces in text, and swapped one “houses” version for the “temples” version to reflect both in GV. No matter how you look at it, this article is an amazing piece of work, and was a pleasure to review. — SourceRunner (talk) 11:52, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

• Extra Dry Djinn — Not originally part of JanuWiki 2019, but one that I’ve had my eye on for a while, and seems tangentially related (beer has alcohol in it, gin has alcohol in it, both are for internal consumption...). What do you guys think? Is it allowable? If so, it really needs a good grammar check, because it was written late on a sleepless night. — SourceRunner (talk) 12:09, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Of course it is! Everything's eligible! And since I'm the next volunteer editor in line, it will be my pleasure to give it a once- or twice-over. -- Djonni (talk) 12:31, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

• Bar tab - Not writing help per se, but have added picture to complete article & request editor for acknowledgement (feels wrong to do this for myself). -- S624 (talk) 19:54, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Good impulse. Nautilus joins the scoreboard!

• Beer Golem — Tried to be thorough, but there are likely many missed linking opportunities, wnd the formatting on the “transcript” portion is not the best, but I’m at a loss for how else to make it work with an indent. Please help. Thank you. — SourceRunner

I took a quick look... I should be able to come up with something. -- FeRDNYC (talk) 04:31, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Many thanks. Will mark you as the editor of note for beer golem, under the assignments section. —SourceRunner

Done Have a look. Technical notes left at Talk:Beer Golem. -- FeRDNYC (talk)

Done Completed the text edits and added a picture. See View History for a summary of all changes. Thanks for the fun assignment! -- Cham Almighty (talk) 22:22, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

The author, SourceRunner, has said she's happy with the edits, so I think we're finished. Yay! But, process question! Does this section stay as is, for posterity, or is it deleted at this stage? (P.S. We are in danger of running out of colons...) -- Cham Almighty (talk) 07:47, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘Never fear, there are always more colons! (Something something about colons being like opinions... 😉) The {{outdent}} template allows you to left-shift a conversation thread without losing track of it :)

I think that it's good for us all to see these back-and-forths, at least while we're still thinking and talking our way through issues as they come up. Let's keep the conversations intact until we clear out the JanuWiki edits from the page later on. (I know they'd be visible in the history, but only if someone goes looking for them, and out of sight, out of mind). -- Djonni (talk) 08:02, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

*dips into the colon pot once more* Sounds good to me, Djonni. cheers! -- Cham Almighty (talk) 08:15, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

— Writing complete. Review definitely needed for grammar, usage, and consistency errors, please. And anything else you happen to see. Thank you! — SourceRunner 5:15 AM GVT, 1JAN2019

Not done This is still open — I parachuted in to look at the technical request, below, but I'm not available for a full writing review I'm afraid. Not sure how to handle that situation, in terms of requests, but I'll remove the assignment below... point is, this is still up for grabs. -- FeRDNYC (talk) 16:08, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Alright. Thank you for all of your formatting work, FeRDNYC. I'll assign editing work to the next person down the list. So... Cham Almighty. -- SourceRunner (talk) 18:34, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Working on it now (thanks for sending me a note by PM, SourceRunner!). Text edits done, now working on an accompanying pic. Should be done later tonight. -- Cham Almighty (talk) 00:37, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Firstly, love your Beer Golem pic Cham Almighty 😆 I want to say for everyone's benefit though that it isn't completely necessary for the creator not editor to ensure that there's a pic on each article, I think for the sake of our creators we should do the text edits first, mark the article completed, update the "Progress" sections, and then worry about pictures or add the article to the "Something needed" table. (I'm certainly not criticising you Cham Almighty, just making a general observation 😊 I think your pic is fantastic!) -- Djonni (talk) 11:22, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip, Djonni! I agree that sequence makes sense. Will remember that in future. -- Cham Almighty (talk) 21:51, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Editing completed and approved by author SourceRunner. Thanks everyone! -- Cham Almighty (talk) 08:13, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

• “Free beer” ticket - Writing done, SPAG check requested. Assigned to Cham Almighty -- S624 (talk) 20:09, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Editing completed (there wasn't a lot to do!). I've left some notes on the topic's talk page for author S624. My gratitude to SourceRunner for her feedback. (By the way, I saw a "not done" graphic in the first entry under Writing Help so was wondering if a "done" graphic was called for here. Feel free to comment!) -- Cham Almighty (talk) 08:13, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

• Ale-chemist -- Writing finish because I'm stuck on ideas...Probably need a big load of polish maybe more texts, SPAG and a picture (yeah i know that makes a lot...). Thx in advance! -- WardPhoenix

Assigning this to myself -- S624 (talk) 20:09, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

I've added a picture! -- Shanimal (talk) 01:50, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Oh that's perfect Shanimal, credit to follow when I finish the article proofing. -- S624 (talk) 11:18, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Seems that S624 and I were falling over each other to credit you and your guild for the picture Shanimal, great picture! (And sorry for standing where you're walking S624!) -- Djonni (talk) 11:49, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ No problem Djonni, the event's really took off, so the more hands the merrier. -- S624 (talk) 12:47, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Review completed. Great article WardPhoenix, polished & tightened up your base text, corrected SPAG & formatting. -- S624 (talk) 16:46, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

• Beerkat -- Writing done, probably need SPAG corrections as usual. Thx in advance! -- User:WardPhoenix

I'll do it! Well done, User:WardPhoenix -- SourceRunner (talk) 17:15, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Final review complete, and review tag removed per WardPhoenix’s approval. SPAG and based text tightened and adjusted for clarity. — SourceRunner (talk) 19:57, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

• Beer-scented soap - Completed, SPAG & template review requested, assigned to Djonni -- S624 (talk) 21:20, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

• Barbeerian — Writing and picture complete. Possibly a little repetitive? Definitely needs spelling and grammar review. — SourceRunner (talk) 22:46, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Assigning to S624. — SourceRunner (talk) 23:36, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Done -- S624 (talk) 16:39, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

• Drinkerella is complete and ready for review, though I feel like it could use something else, but I'm not sure what... -- Shanimal (talk) 07:19, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Done and marked as complete, with some ideas and suggestions if you would like to keep expanding it at Talk:Drinkerella :) -- Djonni (talk) 17:30, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

• Progress Bar - missing from this list but already assigned to SourceRunner for review. -- S624 (talk) 09:15, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Review complete. And now I really want to dine at Progress Bar. Edit notes are in the talk page. Great work, Terezka! — SourceRunner (talk) 23:21, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

• Brewpid the Reindeer - Review ready (Article by Beausoleil). -- S624 (talk) 14:19, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

On it. — SourceRunner (talk) 23:29, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Review complete. Added some links, rearranged a passive voice sentence, and moved asides into footnotes. Beausoleil expressed hope that someone is reviewing Beer Mugger too. -- SourceRunner (talk) 10:43, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

• Vanishing pint -- Completed, yet uncomplete. Missing information about the type (waiting for it in my bag) and a picture (and SPAG obviously), Thx in advance as always -- WardPhoenix

Review in progress, spelling & grammar worked on. Some changes made to sentence structure, wording & template use. WardPhoenix, please let me know if I've gone too far from your original vision. -- S624 (talk) 19:19, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Looks better than my original if you ask me. Don't worry mate! WardPhoenix

• Adminotaur --- Again not a JanuWiki entry listed but was inspired as soon as I saw it. Boss Monster who was a 5 words stub until now, and I don't have a fresh eye on it anymore. So if anyone can review it, thx^^ (PS : lack of description because i wanted to add the in-game one, but oviously need to bump into it) --- WardPhoenix

Done with pleasure WardPhoenix, clever and funny! Left notes for you on English usage and formatting at Talk:Adminotaur. Please keep 'em coming! :D -- Djonni (talk) 20:53, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

• Beer Mugger - missing from this list but already assigned to Holy Spirit of Hell for review. -- S624 (talk) 09:15, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Not sure what happened here. I could've sworn this was in the assigned status already. Taking for myself. -- S624 (talk) 21:11, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Done -- S624 (talk) 22:15, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

• Can of ambrosia -- finished editing and the author is happy with it, so we are good to go. However, I did not volunteer to do pictures in general, and that seems to be part of the author's request. Can that part be assigned to someone else? -- Cham Almighty (talk) 05:44, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

• Can of ambrosia -- Wasn't in JanuWiki 2019 but I think it fit the theme (noticed it exist thanks to my in-game inventory). So complete (even though I think it lack something). Need revision and picture -- WardPhoenix

Assigning to Cham Almighty. — SourceRunner (talk) 23:34, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Round 1 of editing completed; SPAG, some tweaks to sentence structure and wording etc. so as to improve flow and clarity of meaning (I hope!). WardPhoenix, kindly take a look and let me know if this works for you. (I left a note about it on your talk page too.) Cheers! -- Cham Almighty (talk) 07:10, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

WardPhoenix replied on his talk page earlier today to say he's fine with the edits "so far". As there are no further edits required that I can see, the editing is now complete! -- Cham Almighty (talk) 05:41, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

However, I did not volunteer to do pictures in general, and that seems to be part of the author's original request. Is there also a list of volunteer image creators to which this can be added? -- Cham Almighty (talk) 05:46, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

This should be added to the bottom of the Articles needing improvement table on the JanuWiki 2019 page & tagged in the Navbox as needing a picture. Not able to do this change myself at the moment. -- S624 (talk) 07:12, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Done and Done, all done. Great work Cham Almighty and WardPhoenix, Can of ambrosia was a great inclusion for JanuWiki! -- Djonni (talk) 09:19, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

• Tea Rex - I would appreciate formatting help with my draft article, specifically in how to indent the song (poem) in the section Tips for battling a Tea Rex. I tried to do it as a single block, with the same line spacing throughout, but couldn't get it to work. (If you spot and correct any other formatting/template errors, too, that would be fantastic.) Thank you! -- Cham Almighty (talk) 05:34, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Done I think under the circumstances / given the options available, the way you had things set up using <blockquote>...</blockquote> makes the most sense. The only change I made was to split the lyrics up into four paragraphs (groups of 2-4-4-2 lines), and I replaced -- with an em-dash entity (—). -- FeRDNYC (talk) 13:42, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Done It looks amazing. FeRDNYC, thank you so much for these changes! (Throwing another 'done' on here so it doesn't look like this topic needs any more work ;) -- Cham Almighty (talk) 17:19, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

• Red Bull — Writing complete. Ready for review. — SourceRunner (talk) 19:11, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Done, and thoroughly enjoyed :) I left some helpful (I hope) notes on simpler ways to use the templates you used at Talk:Red Bull. E.I.S. Eternal takes back its outright lead! -- Djonni (talk) 15:25, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the thorough review and edit, and the comprehensive tutorial, Djonni! I'll work with the templates better in the future. That offset method is also going to be useful. -- SourceRunner (talk) 16:10, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

• The Whinery - Ready for review. --Terezka (talk) 16:13, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Ooh, gimme-gimme! 😁 Reviewing now! -- SourceRunner (talk) 11:56, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Edit review complete! Changes thoroughly discussed with and approved by Terezka. Beautiful article! Laughed so many times. And with that, The Forsaken's Lament takes the lead! Whoo! -- SourceRunner (talk) 16:10, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

• Another one for the queue: Beer goggles are done and ready to be reviewed. Thanks! :) -- Djonni (talk) 22:02, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Done. Absolutely perfect article, no corrections required & love the use of other in-game artefacts, equipment & monster parts (& the descriptions of effects). Bravo Djonni -- S624 (talk) 19:27, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

• Instant beer tablet - Writing complete, SPAG & sanity check on artefact type requested (isn't actually listed in artifacts or omnibus list). -- S624 (talk) 20:43, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Mine! I'm on it. -- SourceRunner (talk) 17:06, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Such a clean execution! This was wonderfully written, S624. -- SourceRunner (talk) 11:34, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

• Done Basement Cat. This article is deceptively creepy. Well done! -- SourceRunner (talk) 01:21, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

• Tea Rex — Writing (and picture!) complete, now ready for review. Outside reviewer has already reviewed content and I am confident re: SPAG; my main concern is correct formatting. Thanks! -- Cham Almighty (talk) 10:49, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Done. Very minor formatting changes. Loved the "Let's have tea!" song. -- S624 (talk) 19:44, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

• Beer-battered beer -- Writing (and picture!) complete, now ready for review. Outside reviewer has already reviewedd content and I am confident re: SPAG; my main concern is correct formatting. Thanks! -- Cham Almighty (talk) 10:49, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Afterthought: Maybe a quick SPAG scan isn't such a bad idea after all (see "reviewedd" above)... thank you. -- Cham Almighty (talk) 05:32, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Done. See edit notes & article talk page. -- S624 (talk) 20:13, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

• Boozerker review complete. -- SourceRunner (talk) 03:06, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

• Beerwolf -- Writing complete but lacking picture. May also needs a lot of SPAG (as always with me), and maybe some additions to complete it if found necessary. Thanks as always for your hard work, reviewers :) WardPhoenix (talk) 21:46, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Great work, WardPhoenix! Loved the fight between academicians. -- SourceRunner (talk) 04:36, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

• Done Ancient cork review complete. Beautiful work, S624, there were barely any changes to make! -- SourceRunner (talk) 20:07, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Done & credited. -- S624 (talk) 21:35, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

• Done Beerserker edit complete. Fun article! Mildly concerned about image copyrights, though. -- SourceRunner (talk) 21:34, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

• Done Punk Panther edit complete. One of Paradox has an awesome sense of written voice. -- SourceRunner (talk) 02:08, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

• Beerwolf -- a magnificent picture (many thanks for it) was added by One Of Paradox  (U • C • T)  and should be given credit for! --

Credited it WardPhoenix (talk) 17:30, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

• Meowntain Cat -- writing complete, got hard time finishing that one, hope it will be okayish enough! In great needs of review (and maybe patting) and as always, thanks in advance! -- WardPhoenix (talk) 20:14, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

On it. -- S624 (talk) 20:16, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk about fast! WardPhoenix (talk) 20:31, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Nice work, WardPhoenix. Points accorded. -- SourceRunner (talk) 23:53, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

• Photocopycat by Annieysa9898  (U • C • T) 

On it. -- SourceRunner (talk) 23:53, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Short, sweet, and beautifully written. Well done, Annieysa9898! -- SourceRunner (talk) 02:47, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

• Help Item: In the Android interfaces, the "Contents" headings are gone, but when I remove the Creation/Review tags, the articles with pictures lose display of the headings between the introductory paragraph and the first body section. The Punk Panther is the latest afflicted with this issue. What do I do about that? -- SourceRunner (talk) 02:08, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Done See the proposed general fix at Talk:Main Page#Fixes for mobile content layout. -- FeRDNYC (talk) 14:44, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

• Diet Sprite by Beausoleil  (U • C • T) 

Mine. -- SourceRunner (talk) 23:25, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Oh, gosh, I was practically rolling on the floor of the train, laughing! Well done! -- SourceRunner (talk) 23:44, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

• Methylated Spiritualist by Annieysa9898  (U • C • T)  (I'm done with this article. Thanks much!!)

On it! -- SourceRunner (talk) 23:44, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Excellent work! -- SourceRunner (talk) 00:13, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

• Thug-of-war by Beausoleil  (U • C • T) 

Grabbing this one. -- SourceRunner (talk) 02:41, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Yet another marvelous one from Beausoleil, and it needed hardly any modification. Wow! -- SourceRunner (talk) 03:04, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

• I'm finally done with Neferkitty. Ready for review now. --Terezka (talk) 20:12, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Grabbing this one to edit. -- SourceRunner (talk) 12:00, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Done Wow! Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Djonni, you should look at this one for your side jobs. -- SourceRunner (talk) 12:27, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

February 2019

• Great news! The writing of the Godbuster is atleast complete (took me a while, hope it was worth it). Good luck and thanks to the reviewer that will accept the challenge of reviewing that one! WardPhoenix (talk) 00:43, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Claiming for editing. -- SourceRunner (talk) 14:12, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

• Beer belly has been expanded and a picture added by Beausoleil

Claiming for editing. --SourceRunner (talk) 04:11, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Snagged for edit! --SourceRunner (talk) 20:06, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
