I have worked on this article extensively in the last two months and am interested in submitting for Good Article nomination (GAN) review. I have already copy edited following WP:MOS focusing mainly on punctuation and styles for headings, captions etc. As my major involvement with English Wikipedia has only begun this year, despite my association with Telugu Wikipedia for more than 15 years, I request GOCE to review the article. Thanks Arjunaraoc (talk) 11:50, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

The page is too lengthy, it should be trimmed and grammar should be fixed. Tesla car owner (talk) 03:53, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
Partly done I've copy edited some parts of the article but not fully.

It took me a long time (two years) to be able to improve and expand this article as a non-native English speaker. The article is in need of very in-depth copyediting. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. M.A.LasTroniN910 (talk) 16:54, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- @M.A.LasTroniN910: You have edited this article many times since putting in this request. That can count toward the article being unstable and where copy editing is of little use. Dhtwiki (talk) 04:43, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- OTOH, since it will probably be some time before this article is taken up, your continuing to work on it until closer to that time shouldn't be a problem. It's just that, compared to other articles here, yours shows unusual activity. Dhtwiki (talk) 04:53, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Dhtwiki: OK, I understand.

This section may require copy editing for the many footnote digressions and clarifications that could be incorporated into the main text. Moorlock (talk) 16:07, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Article was written by a student who may not be a native English speaker, and according to the talk page needs heavy copyediting. If you don't understand something please tag it for me to clarify rather than guessing the meaning and tag any other problems you may notice - thanks Chidgk1 (talk) 06:46, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
Working I've got nothing else to do, so...

I am working on a draft article Indian sceptre. Daṇḍa (Hindu punishment) is article on development of ancient Indian jurisprudence.

On hold; i was about to accept this request until I looked at it's history, there's a lot of activity, reverting and possibly an edit war going on here. I suggest we wait until it's stable before a c/e. Discuss at REQ talk. Baffle☿gab 23:28, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Been working on this for a few weeks and I'm certain there's mistakes in there. Probably mostly punctuation but I've read it so many times, I can't see them any more.
Note on technical language: 'Test', as in 'Test match' should always be capitalised. MsJoat (talk) 16:19, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
Someone placed the copy edit tag to indicate this article may need some copy editing. I have removed the copy edit tag, as per the instructions. Waterard

Hello, I would like to request a copy-edit for this article as it is undergoing GAN just to make sure grammar and prose are fine. 祝好,Sinoam(聊天) 15:53, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
Possible GAN. MusicforthePeople (talk) 07:58, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
I want to expand it as it's about a notable politician. But, before that, some help regarding copyedits is required to make it more encyclopaedic. Admantine123 (talk) 17:05, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
I have successfully promoted this article to GA status, and I am now thinking of promoting it to an FA (FAC). However, I feel that the Services section needs more cleaning up. Brachy08 (Talk) 04:56, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

I have taken note of the GA reviewers comments on the talk page. I realised my request was premature and apologise. Since then I have reworded, made corrections and added citations to this article to the best of my ability. It should be a lot better now. I would appreciate some help with copy editing, please. Windswept (talk) 11:27, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Requesting a copyedit for a potential GAN. Spinixster (chat!) 14:43, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to request a copyedit for this article, which is currently nominated for GA (GAN), but requires some copyediting, particularly in terms of wording and phrasing. English is not my native language and I can occasionally make mistakes, but I do not want to create new ones in an attempt to correct the previous ones. De Disney (talk) 07:15, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Article is currently B-class, but needs a copyedit for better tone, flow, and cohesiveness. Sanglahi86 (talk) 07:22, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Reconstruction-era catastrophe/possible crime in South Carolina, United States. I know the quotes are too long but they are the only contemporary records, and they are from possibly unreliable sources and/or they conflict, so I felt like including the distinct-POV full text was the best way to explain what happened. You may feel differently. Thanks in advance for taking a look. jengod (talk) 20:56, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
Presentment improper spelling, grammar, and format. SKAG123 (talk) 21:10, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Well-referenced article which needs some copyedits to make the prose more encyclopaedic. Possible GA (GAN) candidate? GnocchiFan (talk) 19:20, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
needs grammatical and WP:MOS fixes. Also many sections are not written in a neutral tone. SKAG123 (talk) 21:22, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
This page was promoted to Good Article status two years ago, but I'd like to nominate it for FAC. I would greatly appreciate a copyedit in case there were any issues I missed. Thanks in advance.
I meant to request a copyedit for this article and not 550 Madison Avenue. I had several tabs open and copy-pasted the wrong title; sorry about that. Epicgenius (talk) 23:05, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Article failed GA (GAN). I would like a copy-edit prior to re-nominating it again. Erick (talk) 02:49, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
Possibly hoping to nominate this article for FAC in the future. Pamzeis (talk) 13:34, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

- GA
N, DYK - John Ogilby was Scottish translator, impresario and cartographer (1600–1676), active in London from early childhood. He is noted for his translations of Virgil and Homer, as well as for his maps of selected roads in England and Wales (the first road maps based on accurate surveying).
- I have also requested a revised "class" assessment at Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Assessment. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 22:03, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- In the unlikely event that this one gets to the head of the queue any time soon, be advised that the GA review has just begun. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 10:30, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- It won't get to the head of the queue anytime soon. However, I took a quick look. While I saw one or two places that could be improved by repunctuation, your article looks to be in good shape. I wouldn't be surprised if it passes GA review without any "prose issues" being raised. Dhtwiki (talk) 00:47, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. Yes, after an incisive and therefore very helpful GA review, it has passed GA. I used to believe that I had a good, if pedestrian, standard of writing until I saw the GoCE blue pencil at work on my last GAN (Calendar (New Style) Act 1750, subsequently passed) so, suitably humbled, best I let this one sit in the queue, thanks, no rush. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:52, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Potential GA (GAN). DareshMohan (talk) 06:17, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I nominated this article for GA several months back, and it failed due to too much close paraphrasing and is in need of copy-editing. Since then, I have gotten new materials and expanded the article. I've tried my best to copy-editing it myself, but since English isn't my first language, I'm afraid I've missed some things. I would like to take another try at GAN. I'd really appreciate your help. - Yolo4A4Lo (talk) 10:29, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
Hey! Could someone take a peek at this article before it heads to GAN? Needs some variance in words, sentence length variation etc. Frzzl talk; contribs 08:31, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I've just completed expanding the article, and I will appreciate someone who can give the article a good going over to bring it up to FAC standard, in preparation for moving through the various review steps. ZKang123 (talk) 08:35, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
As I don't have English as my native language, when expanding the content of the article of the former Portuguese president, there were noticeable grammatical errors (which I could not recognize at first) during the review of the article when I nominated it for GA. I ask, therefore, that a copy-edit can be made in order to achieve the GA quality (GAN) of this article. Thanks in advance. _-_Alsor (talk) 15:51, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
As I am planning to submit Hogwarts Legacy as a Featured article candidate (FAC), it would help a lot to have a copy editor taking a look at it.

Requesting a copyedit of this article for a more encyclopedic tone. Thanks. Sanglahi86 (talk) 22:55, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
The terminology must follow the Viz Media translation of the manga. I did my best to fix spellings (e.g. Taikobo, King Chu, Hiko Ko, paope, and Kongrong instead of Taikoubou, Chuuoh, Kou Hiko, paopei, and Konron) but I left some unchanged as I was not familiar enough with the translation. YukaSylvie (talk) 02:35, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @YukaSylvie:, this is content work; it's not the copy-editor's job to fix non-obvious terminology and miss-spellings from sources to which they're not likely to have access and are not cited. If you can't fix it, what hope do we have? I also note the maintenance tags at the top of the page. I'm likely to put this request on hold later but I'm tired right now. The GOCE is not cleanup.
