editAn attempt at my first FA (FAC) which failed the first time around. I've rewritten it extensively since then, but would appreciate any further improvements with the prose. Harper J. Cole (talk) 22:21, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- I took a stab at copy editing this for you with a focus on the comments that you received from your link. I don't know if it is important enough to mention his dad in the lede of the article so I didn't remove it but it could (should?) be moved. The subsections for each season could probably be trimmed and combined but I am not a subject matter expert. Moritoriko (talk) 02:24, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello, this is former GA, and I'm preparing it for a Good Article Reassessment (GA-R). The article has been edited, reworked, etc. I think it's ready for copyediting and then a new GA review (GAN). Thank you. --evrik (talk) 01:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
Will start work on it. --blanketstitch — Preceding undated comment added 01:11, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Needs cleaning up for grammar and vocabulary. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 01:36, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Spent a good amount of time expanding and cleaning up this article. It failed a GA nomination, mostly due to me being unable to address fixes needed in a timely manner. I've fleshed it out a bit more since then and am hoping someone can give it a good fine-toothing before I nominate again (GAN). Thank you in advance for any help/consideration!

Hello! This important Holocaust article needs copy editing to fix structures and grammar. Thanks in advance, Norden1990 (talk) 18:31, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
This article also need heavy copy edit after restructure of the article's main body. Ahendra (talk) 18:02, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
This is my second article on Wikipedia, and I am enjoying the whole process of collective intelligence. Please help me improve it. I've written the above article and believe I am close to completing it with all the necessary records and citations. As someone who collects historic performances to write articles on Wikipedia, I find it challenging to find detailed critiques in Korea. For example, Leonard Bernstein came to Korea only once, and while newspapers reported what he played, they did not mention his conducting style, orchestration, audience response, etc. I was there, but I cannot cite myself. It is difficult to find articles that can be used as citations for Wikipedia. There are plenty of discussions on social media and blogs, but I understand that these are not acceptable sources. I wouldn't mind if some of the unsubstantiated phrases or sentences need to be deleted. Any help with copyediting or finding reliable sources would be greatly appreciated.

- Ok I will see if there's any grammar mistakes. Ned1a Wanna talk? 14:57, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- I saw that you made a correction. Thanks a lot. Since they sang in Italian, I put the Italian title with the English one in parentheses. I rewrote a chunk of the text because editors say tabulating everything is too excessive. Please advise me on how to remove the box on top. Rosuacamus (talk) 15:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! @Rosuacamus I don't understand what you mean by the box? Do you mean the userbox? Ned1a Wanna talk? 17:47, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- I meant the message box at the top of the Phillip Jeong article: "This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling." Any help to improve the article is welcome! Rosuacamus (talk) 21:29, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

With over 295 hits per day, the article needs serious copy editing to get to WP:GA (GAN) dxneo (talk) 16:59, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, @Dxneo. I'll be working on it soon. I just have to complete some pending things and I'll take care of you. Santi (talk) 03:12, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

- @Pollosito, when are you going to work on this article? Mox Eden (talk) 03:01, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Mox Eden: I guess at the end of July. Now I've graduated from high school and I'm no longer allowed to use the computer, so I'll have to do it on my cell phone. In case I haven't done anything by the end of July, you can pick this because I see you're interested too. Santi (talk) 00:13, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Old GA article was overhauled and definitely needs to be copyedited. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 18:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Done some reference fixing here and tried to add further clarifications where needed. It could really do with a fresh pair of eyes especially om the music side of things. Karst (talk) 12:09, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Request for c/e for Birthday of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. I nominated it for WP:DYK (DYK) and it is an important article. Mehedi Abedin (talk) 11:56, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
I'm planning to nominate the article as a Good Article (GAN). It previously had some jumbled content copied directly from other sources and so had to be cut way down to remove all of that. I've rewritten it from the sources and would appreciate a fresh set of eyes. Rjjiii (talk) 20:50, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
This is an article I just when through FAC with, but it was suggested that the copy editing was really lacking (English is not my main language and I am not very used to the English Wikipedia standards). Thuiop (talk) 19:53, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
This article needs a thorough edit to bring it in line with WWP:MOS I have added where I feel citatations are needed. Please let me know when someone has gone through the article and I will start the process of adding further citations. Thanks for your help!. Karst (talk) 09:34, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
An old GA article needed to be copyedited in order for it to be maintained and accurate. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 18:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
For GAN. Please check whether the prose checks out on verifiability longer quotes in the Reception section (excluding the one in the quotebox) can be paraphrased. Thanks, Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 12:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Nineteen Ninety-Four guy:, please note citation-checking is not part of the copy-editing process. Per WP:BURDEN, the person adding the material is responsible for its accuracy and verifiability. Copy-editing is a "final prose polish" not a general fix-me-up. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 04:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- I see. I've struck that part of my request to reflect this. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 06:16, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
This page was promoted to Good Article status recently, but I'd like to nominate it for FAC. I would greatly appreciate a copyedit in case there were any issues I missed. Thanks in advance. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

GA reviewer was concerned with the article's prose. lunaeclipse (talk) 11:41, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
The article is very detailed, but its prose is kind of slanted towards recent events. It is also cited to few social media sites which I'm having a hard time trimming. Aiming for GAC (GAN) for now, then FAC afterwards. dxneo (talk) 12:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
Really new article which is linked up to several highly viewed articles (including one which has gotten over 1 million views in the last 30 days). Honestly just need a second set of eyes to copy/edit it real quick. Only 36k bytes in size, but with high-viewage potential, it should be grammatically solid and correct. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:24, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Triangular bipyramid is another article I will take a submit to the GOCE. I have checked the writings in the article, but there is one problem in the section Triangular bipyramid#Related polyhedra. I'm aware that this section might be a problem during the process of GAN. If someone wants to copyedit the whole article, I appreciate it. Many thanks. Note: This article is about mathematics, especially in geometry of polyhedron. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 11:01, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Requesting copy edit on the article Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman season 1. Thank you very much. NeoBatfreak (talk) 20:20, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

editI've been fixing up this article by myself lately, but I'm unsure of how to format/write some aspects as it's covering a very distant topic from my usual edits. Hoping I can nominate it for GA (GAN) after this, as it's a North Korean film with a controversial background involving kidnapping and all that, which deserves more attention. Thanks. Eiga-Kevin2 (talk) 05:18, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello GCE. My major concerns for this article are whether I am violating notability in the "Reception" section or giving undue depth in its history section since I'd like to eventually get it to GA (GAN) status. Please be ruthless. Ornov Ganguly TALK 13:38, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
Currently a C-class article (honestly would myself probably assess it as Start, even). But just want it to get it to a decent-looking place. Did some work on it right now, but it could certainly use some extra copy editing. Soulbust (talk) 20:37, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

I think the Stores section of Wegmans can use copyediting because I do think it looks more like a timeline. I think this section can also use copyediting for a major cleanup to the section and I also think it can be more organized as well. The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 08:02, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
I plan to bring this to FAC. However, from previous comments about the FAC nom, the article needs further clarity. I appreciate if anyone can give a look through, especially reorganising the details of the artwork section. ZKang123 (talk) 01:42, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
I've been working on this article, but I think this one can use copyediting. The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 03:13, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
This is currently at FAR but changes have received little feedback. These sections:
- Conquest of Wales
- Character as king
- Parliament and the expulsion of the Jews
- Administration in Ireland
- Legacy
are either new or substantially rewritten. A copy edit of these parts would be very welcome; it is not necessary to copy edit the whole article. Jim Killock (talk) 12:36, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

editWanted to improve the writing for this article before it gets re-nominated into the Good Article Nomination (GAN). This article was nominated before but did not pass due to errors in grammar and wording that were not well written at that time. I finished fixing those issues brought up by the reviewer, but I still believe some prose and grammar checks need to be made. Rephrasing is done well and accurately.

Completely rewrote article over the past few months, and am currently working for an ACR as the article view count has spiked dramatically due to it being in national news. I'd appreciate another pair of eyes looking the article over for grammar issues and flow.
