Please remove any existing {{copy edit}} tags from the article to avoid edit conflicts during the copy edit.

Please note:

  • No request by an unregistered editor will be accepted unless the IP has done significant work on the article. Drive-by IP requests already on the list may be declined by any editor.
  • The average waiting time is two or so months. Please be patient and feel free to improve your requested article while you wait.
  • If you plan to nominate the article for good article, A-class or featured article status, please wait until the copy edit is complete before nominating it.
  • Having your article copy edited by our team does not guarantee that the prose will be considered acceptable during any of the above reviews.

Needs two address issues raised in the talk page, such "too long to read and navigate comfortably" and "neutral point of view". MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 12:45, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Intending to nominate this as a FAC. Many thanks! GraziePrego (talk) 02:49, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For a potential FAC. Lazman321 (talk) 05:16, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not just c/e, it needs excessive repeat links removed and proofreading. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:36, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Planning to nominate it to WP:GA (GAN) and later WP:FA (FAC). British English. Radical rewrite if you feel it is necessary. Thanks! --TheUzbek (talk) 12:40, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For GAN. Cos (X + Z) 22:15, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requested during a GAN review. Many thanks! Averageuntitleduser (talk) 23:15, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I created this article last year and basically rewrote it due to notability issues. A copyedit would be needed.Tintor2 (talk) 18:54, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did some minor copyediting. Please see it if you like it.Nedia Wanna talk? Stalk my edits 22:46, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh thanks. Don't rush yourself though. Tintor2 (talk) 23:29, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wasn't it though the partly done marks are wrong since it can autoarchive requests just like what happened with Allen's request? Tintor2 (talk) 00:13, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'll go copyedit more;) Nedia Wanna talk? Stalk my edits 00:25, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the edits. I tried cutting unnecessary information and add a more useful citation for the reception. Tintor2 (talk) 13:20, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Four years since a successful GAN, I have made some significant edits to expand and flesh out the article. My goal is to get this article up to a successful FAN (FAC), but I want to run this through some copy edits to tighten the prose and writing so there will be few issues that I run into while it is nominated.Paleface Jack (talk) 22:31, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting a copy edit for this recently created article, which I hope will see GA status (GAN) one day. Thank you! ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:12, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hi- i gave it an edit- mostly with grammar and verb tenses! Wikkifemme (talk) 20:49, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:48, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oroblems

  • This article about a dynasty from southern India is a mess. Content differs from the citations (at several points). People seem to have added their opinions regarding this subject. Seriously need to remove a lot of unnecessary stuff. A compact article with the right information will be better than this jumble. JamesMdp (talk) 13:19, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article needs a CE for a possible GAN.--TeenAngels1234 (talk) 19:15, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GAN: We and User:Goroth would like to get this article to GA and it was later failed due to language problems, I am hoping someone copy-edit this, as I'm not that fluent in English. Thanks. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 04:03, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I need it to be copyedited to get rid of grammar lapses. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 08:18, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to get this to FAC. It's a pretty long article, and I think it probably gets too technical for someone not already familiar with the subject, but I can't really fix that myself since I am familiar with the subject. I also have a tendency to make run-on sentences (I just love conjunctions too much). I'd appreciate outside eyes Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 01:40, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I need help to get rid of grammar lapses I need it to be copyedited due to close paraphrasing and disorganized structure. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 11:10, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Boneless Pizza!:, why is this article back here so soon? I see in our archive, Dhtwiki copy-edited this article (Chris Redfield) in December (last month). Are these Redfield articles on some kind of merry-go-round? Baffle☿gab 05:21, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize with that. I made a couple of edits that's why I thought that it might need again. I think the article is fine now after going through the article again. I would like withdraw this request. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 05:26, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No problem; you can replace it with another article if you wish. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 05:55, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 05:57, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I significantly contributed to the article, and I would like to know if any outside parties would copyedit the article I submitted for WP:GAN (GAN). Z. Patterson (talk) 23:59, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd appreciate a copyedit of this article. I plan on taking it to WP:GAN. Thanks in advance.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 21:45, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(FAC) is likely to fail one of issues noted is that the article assumes you have background knowledge of the series. So I would hope that that is clarified Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 18:22, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @OlifanofmrTennant:, this article was copy-edited on 28 December 2024, just a month ago. Is there a reason it should come back here so soon? Article development is not copy-editing. Baffle☿gab 22:47, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The FAC noted prose issues with the page and that it was unclearly worded for those unfamilaure with the series Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 22:50, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For context, here is the FAC review. Copy-editors shouldn't feel obliged to add content to the article. Baffle☿gab 03:00, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
the point of feedback is "In general, I don't think we've yet managed to ensure that a reader unfamiliar with the source material will fully understand the article and the points being made." from UndercoverClassist. Though if you feel its too early then I will withdraw Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:02, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This was copyedited by the guild three months ago. After which, it underwent a major expansion. Please give it another polish to meet the bar for Good Article (GAN) prose. Thanks, Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 06:45, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I plan to submit the Croatian Committee for GAN review and would appreciate a copyedit to address any issues with prose flow, grammar etc. Tomobe03 (talk) 11:22, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking a copy edit of recently created Front Man (Squid Game). Thanks! --Another Believer (Talk) 18:48, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hoping to take this article to FAC sometime this year and would love another set of eyes to comb through a fairly recent GA that was built up over a few years. I'm sure there's some flow work that could be done, or some mistakes I left behind. SounderBruce 01:50, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article is in need of very in-depth copyediting. Thank you. OceanHok (talk) 06:31, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For a GAN Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:18, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I plan to submit Josip Torbar (politician, born 1889) to a GAN review. Tomobe03 (talk) 09:17, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GAN: Mostly complete but is in need of copyediting/tidying up. I'd like to see what someone else could do here. Chchcheckit (talk) 10:34, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As part of a GA review (GAN), the reviewer requested the this article be copyedited. I could think of no better place to go than here to meet this request. Can you please oblige. simongraham (talk) 02:57, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Needs general c/e and proofreading. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:38, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Guild of Copy Editors, I recently created the above page about the big arms factory in Ruelle. Kind of the French equivalent of Krupp for arms manufacturing. This page was a bit of a challenge, because the sources were very dispersed and mostly in French, with many domain specific words. The page reviewer suggested that you might be able to improve the page.Grieg2 (talk) 14:28, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Potential FAC, would appreciate help tightening up the prose. Cheers, charlotte đŸ‘žâ™„ 05:14, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Prose is a mess and it meanders without getting to the point. The grammar is a bit suspect in places. Thank you, Grumpylawnchair (talk) 20:25, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Small article with potential for GAN.Tintor2 (talk) 20:01, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will nominate this for GAN as soon as a copyedit is performed. Thanks in advance.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 21:02, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Currently a GAN. I plan on nominating this article for FAC sometime this year. Lazman321 (talk) 23:37, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
