Please help me with... I am new to the platform and I wanted to join the Editor's Guild, so I added my name to the list of participants. I mistakenly reshuffled the introduction of the editor (username: Atomic.madness) below me. I also deleted my introduction because I messed up the code. I tired fixing the other editor's introduction but I made it worse. I informed the editor and apologised since I did not know what else to do. I found this help page and decided to come here.

His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community. Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page.
