The [[Bristol]] was very kindly copyedited by [[User:Miniapolis]] on behalf of GOCE in April 2015. Further work meant that it eventually passed its [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Bristol/archive2|FAC]] in December 2015. I then nominated it at [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Bristol]] assuming that, as it had recently passed FAC, there shouldn't be too many problems. It has some supports to be TFA however other editors have identified a range of issues with the prose and "infelicitous writing". If anyone would be willing to take another look that would be great.— [[User:Rodw|Rod]] <sup>[[User talk:Rodw|talk]]</sup> 16:43, 19 January 2016 (UTC) |

January 2016
Needs a c/e from a native speaker, just improving readability, text cohesion, possible grammatical errors. The goal is to promote it to GAN in the future.--Threeohsix (talk) 13:06, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Working - Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 23:36, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
Requesting copy edit of the article Sarah Connor (Terminator). Thanks. NeoBatfreak (talk) 08:05, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
Article needs c/e and structure work. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 12:39, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
This BLP needs a lot of copy editing. It contains many weasel terms, peacock terms and reads like a news release sent to a public relations agency by the actor's office. -- Rohini (talk) 17:42, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
Requesting a copy edit of this new article before it is nominated for GA status. Thanks for your consideration! --Another Believer (Talk) 18:26, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
Requesting a copy edit on the article of the film Fun with Dick and Jane (2005 film). Thanks. NeoBatfreak (talk) 21:26, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
GA nomination, would appreciate a good review to make sure it meets style guidelines. Nsteffel (talk) 15:42, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
Though I did not expand the article, I am requesting a copy edit for this album article, which I hope will be promoted to Good status in the near future. --Another Believer (Talk) 17:58, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
Section on career needs cleaning up. SpiritedMichelle (talk) 05:26, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
This article is written like an advertisement for the non-profit it is about. It also needs outside citations. SpiritedMichelle (talk) 05:34, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
to cleanup rather than c/e. @SpiritedMichelle: finding citations isn't part of the Guild's remit. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 19:50, 15 January 2016 (UTC)Working
Partly done; I've cleaned this up and removed the unrefferenced sales pitch. It still lacks citations. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 21:12, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
I plan on taking this article to FAC in the future. It would be appreciated if there was a copy-edit on correcting prose, grammar and clarification of facts within the article. Z105space (talk) 13:11, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
Requesting copy edit, I plan to take it to GA status. Grammar is my primary concern and also prose. Thank you.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 03:36, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- Note: This is a Bangladesh article and likely falls under discretionary sanctions per RFA. Copy-editors may also wish to check its recent history. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 06:44, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- The edit-warring is a definite concern; if it continues, the article should be declined until it settles down. However, copyeditors shouldn't shy away from articles covered by DS; I've copyedited WP:ARBIP pages without problems. All the best, Miniapolis 17:56, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- Just checked its talk page (as I should've done first :-)), and I don't think it's subject to WP:ARBIP; the page isn't tagged with {{Ds/talk notice}}, and the back-and-forth editing concerns Pakistan and Bangladesh rather than Pakistan and India. However, unstable articles are uncopyeditable; thanks for the heads-up, Baffle. All the best, Miniapolis 18:07, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Requesting copy edit of the article Cliff Lett for DYK now that it passed AfC as I am not that great with grammar and prose. Donnie Park (talk) 20:53, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
Requesting copy edit of the article Paul Rosche for DYK as I am not that great with grammar and prose. Donnie Park (talk) 21:00, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
Request copy edit of this article as it is pending in GA for review. Thanks.Nvvchar. 16:41, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
Made significant rewrite, need help with readability, possibly improvements in prose since I might verbose a little. Threeohsix (talk) 20:02, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
The article needs a copyedit to fix a significant number of prose issues. It has been nominated for DYK, and I expect the reviewer will require a copyedit before it can be promoted. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:16, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
Just gave this article a huge expansion from the pitiful stub it was before. I'd like to offer it up for GAN, but I'd like to see someone with a good copyedit grasp to go over it, especially since when typing a large amount of text I tend to slip out frequently.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:55, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
The article needs c/e. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:48, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
Request copy edit for the article Liz Sanbourne to help revise it in preparation for GAN and FAC. Thank you for your consideration! I gave this article a huge expansion from being a stub so I would like someone to go over it as I did this all in the span of two days and I am sure there are errors. Aoba47 (talk) 01:58, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
To prepare for GAN and FAC. FunkMonk (talk) 03:11, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
Would appreciate a copyedit after a significant expansion of the article. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:25, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
The development and reception section of the article needs some copyediting. Help will be greatly appreciated. AdrianGamer (talk) 12:05, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
