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.

The article needs a lot of formatting work done. WikiProject Current Events is done with the article, so unless new information appears in the news, it is ready for a massive formatting session.

My Love from the Star

This article was nominated previously for GA (GAN) but failed at the assessment. As the article is of High and Mid importance at two separate Wikiprojects and additionally listed as a level-5 vital article (which is certainly a big achievement for a Korean TV series article); I am currently working on this article to renominate it. Surely it should go for Copy Editing before renomination. Thank you. -ink&fables «talk» 18:10, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gallic Wars

I intend to take it GA (GAN) --> A class MILHIST (ACN) --> FA (FAC). I've had a lot of fun writing it, I hope you'll have fun editing it, as the Wars are pretty interesting, and showcase what an interesting fellow Julius Caesar was.

Recent rewrite by a non-native English speaker. Perhaps some repeats in the text may be culled or rearranged. Retired electrician (talk) 15:39, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Marco Fu

Looking to take to GAN in the new year. Done quite a bit of work making it a bit more neutral, but it's still pretty poorly worded. Could someone from it and reword a bit? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:17, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information ecology

I just came across this page, which discusses the metaphorical concept of information ecosystems. It's overly technical and MOS-noncompliant in a number of other ways, but the information itself looks generally okay, so I think it could benefit from some touch-ups from the guild. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 03:52, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Blindfold Me"

I would greatly appreciate a thorough copy-edit of this article as I would like to put it through the FAC process sometime next year (after doing a peer review for it). It received a copy-edit in 2018, but I have massively rewritten the article to include further sources that I have found. I thought it would be helpful to get a second perspective on it, since I wrote a majority of it in a short span of time so I may be reading over some glaring errors. Thank you in advance! Aoba47 (talk) 06:26, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pepi I Meryre

Dear CopyEditors, I humbly submit to you the article on Pepi I Meryre. The article is FA standard content-wise but falls short on prose quality. Because of this, it failed its FAC nomination and I feel like a native English speaker with a fresh look on the article would be a great help in improving prose quality. Would you please help this article by copy-editing it ? It will then be resubmitted for FAC.Iry-Hor (talk) 08:16, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article would be helped with a c/e for a possible future GAN. Thank you in advance. Spy-cicle💥 ^Talk? 13:04, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blue Yodel No. 1 (T for Texas)

I just finished writing an article for the most successful song by Jimmie Rodgers. Formerly, the page was only a redirect to the article about his Blue Yodel series of songs. Since I plan to take this article to GA (GAN), I probably need some help to make the prose a little smoother or just for general corrections. Thanks in advance.--GDuwenHoller! 18:21, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
