Guild of Copy Editors' requests page On this page, you can request that the Guild of Copy Editors copy-edit specific articles. Instructions for requesters To make a request, remove any existing {{copy edit}} tags from the article, then click this button and follow the instructions: Manual instructions (if the button doesn't work) To make a request, add your article, using the following format, to the bottom of this page: ===[[Articlename]]=== Your comments ~~~~ 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. You may have up to two open requests at any one time. This is enforced so that every request can have a fair chance of being fulfilled within a reasonable period. Requests may be declined if the article is: in the Draft or User namespaces, or is awaiting review at Wikipedia:Articles for creation; unstable, undergoing rapid development, the venue for an ongoing edit war, or otherwise not yet suitable for copy editing. Instructions for copy editors Once you have accepted a request, it may be helpful to add a section to the article's Talk page explaining that you will be copy-editing the article and that other editors are welcome to post questions and comments for you while you are doing so. Remember to add another note when you are done. Please ensure that you are familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style and the expectations for editing for the GOCE outlined in our Step by Step guide. The simplified Manual of Style is here. A number of national varieties of English are present throughout the encyclopedia, and no one variety is preferred. Keep spelling and date formatting consistent within an article. When you accept a request, place an indented {{Working}} template immediately beneath the request and sign your post with four tildes (~~~~) so other copy editors know not to accept it. Accept only one request at a time. Articles that are potential Featured Article candidates should be handled by experienced editors. If you have accepted a request but cannot fulfill it for any reason, please amend it with either: a note of the sections you have completed so someone else can complete the copy edit, or; a suitable template: {{Not done}}, {{Partly done}}, or Abandoned (not a template!). Please make a good-faith effort to complete a copyedit; excessive use of the "Partly done" template does little (or nothing) to reduce the backlog. If the article is unstable, experiencing rapid development, an ongoing edit war or apparent ownership issues, open a discussion on Requests talk to inform project coordinators. Acceptances that appear to have been abandoned will be checked after a reasonable period, usually one week after the timestamp. In cases of complete inactivity we will ask for an update on your talk page. If no response is received within one further week, the {{Working}} template will be removed so other editors may complete the copy edit. When you have completed a request, add the template {{Done}} below the request and sign your post with four tildes (~~~~) and a bot will archive it in about 24 hours. In limited circumstances (breakdowns etc.), you can add the details of the request to the archive page then remove the request here by blanking the subsection. Do not delete the original request without archiving it. Please consider adding the templates {{GOCE|user={{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|date={{subst:date}}}} on the talk page of articles you have copy edited and {{GOCEtb|article=Insert article name|sign=~~~~}} to the talk page of the requester. Instructions for coordinators Stale requests marked as "Working": Acceptances that appear to have been abandoned should be checked for activity after a reasonable period, usually one week after the timestamp. In cases of complete inactivity, a coordinator should ask for an update on the copy editor's talk page. Write "Asked X for update on talk page" below the "Working" line on the Requests page. If no response is received within one further week, the {{Working}} template should be removed so that other editors may complete the copy edit. Quality control: Articles from the Requests page that are completed by newer editors should be reviewed for quality by a coordinator, time permitting. The top priority is to review articles that are FA candidates; the second priority, GA and DYK candidates. Edit this panel

The article is in need of in-depth copyediting, especially with its grammar, tenses, flow etc. Help is greatly appreciated! AdrianGamer (talk) 12:26, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Young People Fucking

This article is about a film (non-pornographic). It's up for DYK (nom) in exactly two months, and I've been warned to expect extra scrutiny because of its title. As noted on the article's talk page, I'm mostly concerned about the Critical reception section which is a bit long; I found it difficult to summarize the sources without getting into WP:SYNTH. Would also appreciate a fresh set of eyes on the article and any general advice. I might take it to GAN at some point in the future. – Reidgreg (talk) 13:52, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Black Clover (season 1)

I'm planning to promote this to FL status. While I'm copyediting and rewriting the article (especially the plot summaries to the episodes) per the ongoing peer review, I would like to ask another copyeditor to assist me as well.

History of anarchism

Hi, since November 2018 I 've been working on this article and since English is not my native language, some assistance on copy editing would be helpful. (syntax, grammar, expressions, humor etc). Note that I found about WP:GOCE a few minutes after I listed the article of peer review, while I was reading comments on other articles. Cinadon36 (talk) 20:07, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Sputnik 1

This article just gained GA status. It requires a proper copy edit to achieve higher levels. Also, I would like the copy edit to be done before moving to FA review. If you have experience with the MILHIST project, that may be very helpful in editing this article. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 20:58, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

I recently wrote the article about an interesting traditional bull race in Indonesia. I'm planning to nominate it for DYK (main page exposure), so I'd appreciate a copy edit. HaEr48 (talk) 07:46, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Planning to promote this to GA. English is not my native language so I usually encounter prose issues in my GANs. I've found GOCE very helpful for my nominations. Many thanks, MX (✉ • ✎) 22:46, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Style (Taylor Swift song)

My personal favorite Taylor Swift song. Planning to take this directly to FAC instead of GAN beforehand.
