Welcome to the GOCE!

Welcome to WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors
"Make it say what it means and mean what it says" – Wikipedia: How to copy edit

Hello BluePenguin18 and welcome to the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE)! We are glad that you have decided to help us in our mission to improve the quality of writing on the English Wikipedia! Here are some links that you might find helpful to get started on your copy-editing journey!

A how-to guide to Wikipeda copyediting
Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS), a helpful guide to refer to while copy editing
- A simplified version of the above
A quick guide to writing on Wikipedia

You can help with copy-editing requests if you already have familiarity with the MOS and considerable English copy-editing skills, or start with articles tagged for copy editing to gain experience.

Thank you so much for joining the GOCE, we appreciate it!

DYK for Mycobacterium

On 17 March 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mycobacterium, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Mycobacterium bacterial species constantly remodel their cell wall layers to survive in stressful environments and avoid their host's immune defenses? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mycobacterium. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Mycobacterium), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court of Kentucky moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Braden v. 30th Judicial Circuit Court of Kentucky. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 17:27, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Significa liberdade, thanks for reaching out! Per WP:NPPHOUR, the article was fair game for transfer to draftspace at 2hrs old, but I am moving it back to mainspace to continue my article expansion with references. Thanks for all your hard work on literary award articles! BluePenguin18 🐧 ( 💬 ) 18:35, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
