FAC - I'm planning to take this through as a FAC (currently a GA) once this has been completed - references in particular probably don't meet full FA MOS compliance. I may or may not submit it to PR beforehand - I'll ask for some additional thoughts before deciding direct or not. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:36, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Another major article overhaul, expanded from 3000 characters to 11000, needs a good cleanup in prep for promotion, thanks. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 16:29, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
Article may require fresh eyes to check for stylistic issues, including appropriate use of dashes and/or hyphens, missing commas, and catch grammatical errors as well as improve flow. Possible future renom for FAC. Appreciate your help Pseud 14 (talk) 17:17, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I am recently expanded the article from start level with contents completely unreferenced to more detailed contents with each section referenced. Since I am potentially will nominate this article for WP:GA (GAN) status once I upload more photos of this area (will go there and take photos if I free), will also request for this article to check for styles, grammar and other things if available. Thanks. WPSamson (talk) 02:30, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
A small, almost stub article about an Egyptian town. The article has been recently renamed from the town's historical name to modern name. Appropriate changes need to be done in the article. Thanks a lot in advance, —usernamekiran (talk) 21:48, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Baffle gab1978: this article is very small, but it was already a little confusing; and because of the recent rename, it barely makes sense. All it needs is a little CE/rewording. Kindly take a look into it. —usernamekiran (talk) 06:39, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran:, if it barely makes sense to you, how do you expect it to make sense to anyone else? This is not a rhetorical question. Baffle☿gab 04:21, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
working—usernamekiran (talk) 12:51, 13 July 2020 (UTC)- @Baffle gab1978: I updated the article. Would you kindly take a look at the article now? Also, the hieroglyphs, a photo from museum, and the population table are appearing at the bottom of infobox, after the article prose is over. I tried change their positions, but no matter what I tried, it always appears in the bottom; and not in the sections where there code is placed. I know this is not related to CE, but would you please take a look at it? Regards, —usernamekiran (talk) 15:45, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran:, I don't owe you a copy-edit— requests can be taken by anyone at any time and there's no deadline on Wikipedia. I've restored my earlier reply for context. Further comment should go to REQ talk. Baffle☿gab 17:47, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

I recently expanded the article from mostly unreferenced and travel-guide like article into a proper Wikipedia article. As my work believes can achieve GA level and would nominate for GAN, so would need proper copyediting and styles too. WPSamson (talk) 10:16, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

I have been working hard on this popular article, but my copy skills are just bad. Besides, the article had gone through quite some edit wars in the past, making the copy even worse. Please lend a hand. I promise to be around to react to every questions and instruction, and actively collaborate if needed. Thank you. Aditya(talk • contribs) 13:26, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Just needs a quick work of the lead as copyvios shows. The language there is a bit odd though and could use a kick anyway. This gnome would appreciate it. Jerod Lycett (talk) 10:41, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
Requesting a copy edit in preparation of a featured article review. Since the last copy-edit a year ago, the article has been substantially updated, and parts have been rewritten from scratch. Gog the Mild, you indicated in March you might be interested. Still up for it? Femke Nijsse (talk) 18:07, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- Femkemilene: Gah! You have caught me at a bad time, both RL and Wikipedia wise. I would like to take it on, but just can't at the moment. I have watchlisted it and will check back in a couple of weeks if things ease off. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:21, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- Gog the Mild, No worries. I'm struggling with RSI myself, so wouldn't mind a delay that much. Good luck with RL! Femke Nijsse (talk) 18:30, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Would like to upgrade to GA (GAN) at some point in the future. PanagiotisZois (talk) 12:16, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
I would like this article to be copy edited as I will be taking it to FAC in the not-so-distant future. The article has been a GA since 2013 and it underwent a major expansion quite recently. I expect some images to be added to the article in the near future (if all goes right with copyrights, etc.) and I would be grateful if the person to do the copy edit would also help me in the FAC process, as I do not feel entirely confident about the quality of my English and my grasp of all the nuances of its punctuation, not to mention its proneness to ambiguous, yet seemingly clear constructions. The article uses some music terminology, but perhaps a copy edit by someone unburdened by that "jargon" is just what the article needs. Toccata quarta (talk) 16:44, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
I would kindly like to request a thorough, comprehensive, and in-depth copyedit to improve the overall flow and structure of this article in preparation for GAN and DYK nominations.

CCN: Requesting copy edit of mid-importance physics article in need of verve and thorough language-trimming. The scientific content of the article is not overly complex and should be understandable to a general audience but the windy and awkward prose would rock anyone to sleep. I am a subject expert and have worked on the lead (ao). I believe I made the contents better but arguably further worsened the state of the language. Laura sf (talk) 10:18, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- PS: there is also a lot of personification of inanimate objects. I am ofc happy to assist if these corrections require input from an expert in physics. Random example: "The purpose of the cavity is to select optical frequencies ": I think (but not 100% sure... I def could be wrong too, hence this request) 'selecting' is a verb too active for an inanimate object. The physical reality is that the cavity can only trap light of specific frequencies.
