your message on Text Editing

[edit]

Dear Baffle gab1978,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have drafted a text for revising the article in English Wikipedia on 'Aristophanes'. I have asked the help of an expert editor, and improved my draft (the biography of Aristophanes: a part of the article). After some revision, he advised me to ask the help of WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors. Probably, I filed a request for review of my text in the wrong way. Could you please help and guide me to address it properly to the Guild of Copy Editors? I need a revision on my text before publishing on Wikipedia article. What is the correct procedure?. Thank you.

Hello @HeracleonGelensis:, thanks for your message; I know Wikipedia can be confusing for new editors and I hope you won't let that stop you from editing here. Your edit earlier today incorrectly added article-like content to the GOCE Requests page; this should instead be added to the article Aristophanes, or you could work on it in your Sandbox. To request a GOCE copy-edit at the Requests page, find and click the blue button marked "Submit a request"; this will create a new subsection for you. Follow the text instructions that appear. Replace ===[[Articlename]]=== with ===[[Aristophanes]]=== but don't change the formatting at all. Then, replace the instructions with something like: "I have just expanded this article and I'd like someone to review and copy-edit my changes. Thanks, ~~~~". Please note, you may be waiting a few months for the copy-edit to be completed, but it will get done eventually. I hope that's useful; let me know if you need any more help. Good luck and cheers, Baffle☿gab 01:48, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
