Semi-protected edit request on 18 April 2024 - minor grammatical edit

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the section: == List of projects that use the GFDL ==

For the Last.fm bullet item: * Last.fm – artists descriptions are under GFDL

Instead of "artists descriptions", it should be one of the below:

- artist descriptions
- artists' descriptions
- descriptions of artists

I would lean towards the first: artist descriptions. Thanks. BackspaceSomethingElse (talk) 23:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done I replaced it with your first suggestion, thanks. Jamedeus (talk) 23:25, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
