Please remove any existing {{copy edit}} tags from the article to avoid edit conflicts during the copy edit.

Old FA undergoes a lot of changes, so It might need to be carefully copyedited I think. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 06:09, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pennsylvania Turnpike has gotten massively bloated with excessive info. It also has a lot of one-sentence paragraphs and sections where several sentences in a row begin with "In (year)...". Article was recently delisted from GA due to these concerns. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 18:47, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article was recently updated with a copyedit and expansion. Would someone please take the time for a professional copyedit, please and thanks. Cltjames (talk) 00:12, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Going to try for another go at FAC soon, but I just added or changed a lot of content to Composition and Critical reception, respectively. mftp dan oops 02:44, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Went to PR, and the article needed in-depth copyedits to be at FAC soon. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 04:35, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I would like to get this article to GA status. My first GAN was failed and the reviewer recommended that I submit the article for copy editing, thanks. Actuall7 (talk) 03:04, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Actuall7 (talk) - I've done some work on the start of this article & I will come back to it. Blackballnz (talk) 02:10, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, thanks for letting me know. Actuall7 (talk) 02:14, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I plan to make Land reform in interwar Yugoslavia a GAN and I believe the article would benefit from a copyedit. Thanks!--Tomobe03 (talk) 15:17, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is in dire need of a copyedit to remove fancruft and to present it in a much more neutral note. Greatly appreciate your help! Karst (talk) 14:41, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copy edit needed as this page is being considered to be on the GA nominee (GAN). Anything helps! HereIGoAgain (talk) 12:04, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noting this, @Tenryuu:. That user has requested an unblock, saying they were joking about sharing the account. I think we can agf for now but if the block is upheld, please put the request on hold and post at REQ talk. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 07:21, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article tone is very promotional any all the Indie film content is unsourced. DareshMohan (talk) 07:24, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For a future GAN.--TeenAngels1234 (talk) 21:59, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Highly unsourced. DareshMohan (talk) 06:20, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another GA article I made. Tried my best to de-fluff it but I think copy-editors do it the best. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 12:22, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to submit the article for a GAN and a copyedit would improve the article, as said in peer review. Thanks! Rahim231 (talk) 06:07, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I plan to make the Temporary National Representation article a GAN, but I believe the article would benefit from a copyedit to improve its prose. Cheers. --Tomobe03 (talk) 15:48, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working towards a FA nomination (FAC) for veiqia (tattooing practice in Fiji) and have just competed a copy edit myself, but I would be really grateful if another editor has time and interest to look for things I may have missed Lajmmoore (talk) 11:51, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Partly done. Worked on this for style, punctuation, smooth English reading and general cleanup. Consider it good and ready to be blessed by a more senior copy editor of the GOCE. Here.it.comes.again (talk) 04:18, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would like some copyediting done to fix any unclearness or poor wording in the prose. For a future renomination for GA (GAN). Thanks. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 14:45, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Current GA which I plan to take to FAC in the new year. Would appreciate any and all notes as I have no experience in the FAC process. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 21:07, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FA from 2008 that hasn't run on the main page (TFA) and could use a strong copy-edit. Harizotoh9 (talk) 05:31, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FA from 2009 that has also not run on the main page. Appears quite stable but it would be nice if the article has a copy-edit before running on the main page (TFA). Harizotoh9 (talk) 05:31, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Working Moritoriko (talk) 01:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I recently did an overhaul and a brief copyedit of my own. I just want to make sure there are no errors in the article, so am requesting a copyedit please.Cltjames (talk) 12:28, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Potential for GAN.Tintor2 (talk) 18:44, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking to bring this FA (FAC), the history section in particular may need attention for prose. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 10:43, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I put this article up for GAR which failed and the reviewer recommend I seek assistance here. I think it's possible I have read this article too many times to be of much assistance. Czarking0 (talk) 18:24, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Old FA article that I recently made changes to. Would appreciate a copyedit. Thanks in advance. LittleJerry (talk) 22:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, the story section would benefit from the input of someone experienced with plot summaries, but any other changes of course more than welcome. I plan to bring this to good article status (GAN). Jonathan Deamer (talk) 09:38, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another old article I worked on years ago but never bothered to have it copyedited. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 00:05, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Old FA. I recently added some more text. Would appreciate a copyedit. Thanks in advance. LittleJerry (talk) 00:06, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Currently a GAN on hold. Per the reviewer request of putting this article up on GOCE.KjjjKjjj (talk) 15:40, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Episode plot summary makes little sense to those who haven't watched the series. A possible GAN. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:33, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just expanded from sandbox. Will nominate for GA in the near-future but I plan to go for FA in the long run. Erick (talk) 06:28, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of expansion has been done to the article for the last three months. I intend to bring it to GA if it's good enough. Thank you. – Yolo4A4Lo (talk) 10:57, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article translated from ru.wiki. I would like to nominate it for featured article as article is complete, but my English grammar is not too good. Sławobóg (talk) 14:45, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
