Shortcuts Guild of Copy Editors' requests page

On this page, you can request that the Guild of Copy Editors copy-edit specific articles.

Instructions for requesters

To make a request, remove any existing {{copy edit}} tags from the article, then click this button and follow the instructions:

Manual instructions (if the button doesn't work)

To make a request, add your article, using the following format, to the bottom of this page:

===]===
Your comments ~~~~

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

Please note:

  • No request by an unregistered editor will be accepted unless the IP has done significant work on the article. Drive-by IP requests already on the list may be declined by any editor.
  • The average waiting time is two or so months. Please be patient and feel free to improve your requested article while you wait.
  • If you plan to nominate the article for good article, A-class or featured article status, please wait until the copy edit is complete before nominating it.
  • Having your article copy edited by our team does not guarantee that the prose will be considered acceptable during any of the above reviews.
  • You may have up to two open requests at any one time. This is enforced so that every request can have a fair chance of being fulfilled within a reasonable period.

Requests may be declined if the article is:


Instructions for copy editors
  • Once you have accepted a request, it may be helpful to add a section to the article's Talk page explaining that you will be copy-editing the article and that other editors are welcome to post questions and comments for you while you are doing so. Remember to add another note when you are done.
  • Please ensure that you are familiar with the Misplaced Pages Manual of Style and the expectations for editing for the GOCE outlined in our Step by Step guide. The simplified Manual of Style is here. A number of national varieties of English are present throughout the encyclopedia, and no one variety is preferred. Keep spelling and date formatting consistent within an article.
  • When you accept a request, place an indented {{Working}} template immediately beneath the request and sign your post with four tildes (~~~~) so other copy editors know not to accept it.
  • Accept only one request at a time.
  • Articles that are potential Featured Article candidates should be handled by experienced editors.
  • If you have accepted a request but cannot fulfill it for any reason, please amend it with either:
    • a note of the sections you have completed so someone else can complete the copy edit, or;
    • a suitable template: {{Not done}}, {{Partly done}}, or Abandoned (not a template!). Please make a good-faith effort to complete a copyedit; excessive use of the "Partly done" template does little (or nothing) to reduce the backlog.
    • If the article is unstable, experiencing rapid development, an ongoing edit war or apparent ownership issues, open a discussion on Requests talk to inform project coordinators.
    • Acceptances that appear to have been abandoned will be checked after a reasonable period, usually one week after the timestamp. In cases of complete inactivity we will ask for an update on your talk page. If no response is received within one further week, the {{Working}} template will be removed so other editors may complete the copy edit.
  • When you have completed a request, add the template {{Done}} below the request and sign your post with four tildes (~~~~) and a bot will archive it in about 24 hours. In limited circumstances (breakdowns etc.), you can add the details of the request to the archive page then remove the request here by blanking the subsection. Do not delete the original request without archiving it.
  • Please consider adding the templates {{GOCE|user={{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|date={{subst:date}}}} on the talk page of articles you have copy edited and {{GOCEtb|article=Insert article name|sign=~~~~}} to the talk page of the requester.


Instructions for coordinators
  • Stale requests marked as "Working": Acceptances that appear to have been abandoned should be checked for activity after a reasonable period, usually one week after the timestamp. In cases of complete inactivity, a coordinator should ask for an update on the copy editor's talk page. Write "Asked X for update on talk page" below the "Working" line on the Requests page. If no response is received within one further week, the {{Working}} template should be removed so that other editors may complete the copy edit.
  • Quality control: Articles from the Requests page that are completed by newer editors should be reviewed for quality by a coordinator, time permitting. The top priority is to review articles that are FA candidates; the second priority, GA and DYK candidates.

Craig Bellamy

This is quite a decent size article about a Welsh footballer who has a rather colorful history. I think there's an FA in here somewhere, hoping for a copyedit to get the ball rolling towards that. Thanks very much. Kosack (talk) 07:02, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Assassination of Miquel Grau

This is a translation from the Spanish article (es). I don't plan further extensions of the article, just minor fixes. I would like a review since English is not my native language. Thank you! MarioGom (talk) 13:39, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

 Working - I took a quick look and picked up a few things. I'll get to it in the next few days
Cadar (talk) 13:06, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
Article page moved to Murder of Miquel Grau. Rationale: "assassination" in English is used for the deliberate killing of an important or famous person, for example, a politician or a celebrity. Grau Gomez was unknown before his death. "Murder" is more appropriate here.

Amarte Es un Placer (album)

The article has failed FAC twice. The first time was due to an user opposing and suggesting a withdrawal over the prose and the second time due to a lack of activity. I feel the article could use another pair of eyes before I re-nominate it for FAC. Erick (talk) 16:42, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Quite an extensive car on a hybrid petrol racing car that has won three consecutive FIA World Endurance Manufacturers' Championships. The goal is to get the article to GA status and an extensive copy-edit would be a way forward to attaining that goal. MWright96 (talk) 21:06, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Eddie Gerard

I brought the article to FAC a few months ago, but it needed some work on the prose. A second reviewer would be much appreciated for that. Gerard was an early ice hockey player, so it looks mainly at his career. Kaiser matias (talk) 15:13, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Onychopterella

The article was once presented to the GOCE, but in its peer review the text had to be changed much more than I thought, so it will need a revision again. Super Ψ Dro 18:30, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Abrasion collar

Stumbled across this previously stub article during the course of research of the JFK assassination; found and added all relevant available research, plus internal Wikilinks and references. If anyone would be so kind as to give it a once-over, we can maybe remove the cleanup template. Thanks! Cadar (talk) 16:43, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

I have submitted Ravindra Dave, an Indian filmmaker, article for DYK. The reviewer told me to copyedit. As I am not native speaker of English, I had requested an editor for copyediting but he is no longer active. I am waiting for completion of review since a month. The article is not very long and may require limited copyediting. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 05:29, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

When You Get a Little Lonely

Hello. I would greatly appreciate a copy-edit of the above article. It had received a wonderful c/e in the past, but I have expanded the article with newspaper sources. I would like to renominate this for an FAC as I believe it is much more prepared than the last time, and I think a new c/e would be helpful. Thank you in advance!

Little Eva: The Flower of the South

Hello. I did a rather large expansion on the above article, and I think a copy-edit would be helpful. I have no plans on working on the article further, but hopefully a c/e will provide a solid base for anyone interested in working on it further or anyone who just wants to read more about this very odd slice of American history. Apologies in advance as this one is very very rough. Thank you in advance! Aoba47 (talk) 04:31, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

I will prepare this article for an FA application. The text is patchy and sometimes weird. It simply does not have a good flow and would really benefit from some professional copy editing. You guys are awesome, I hope you can help me here =) Daniel Cavallari (talk) 20:47, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Sasha Grey

Among others various 84.46.5.* IPs (=me) contributed to Sasha Grey from December 9, 2018 at size 43,870 bytes with 96 references, and nominated the page on March 15 as GA at size 62,186 bytes with 134 references. The GA1 review failed on March 25 at size 76,777 bytes with 165 references and a list of six remaining unfixed issues.
Five of those issues were addressed on March 28, the last remaining point was the suggestion that the article could be listed at the GOCE for copyediting work. As of today the page is at size 85,685 bytes with 191 references, and apparently stable (no changes since June 23). –84.46.53.150 (talk) 06:16, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
