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:

in the Draft or User namespaces, or is awaiting review at Misplaced Pages:Articles for creation;
unstable, undergoing rapid development, the venue for an ongoing edit war, or otherwise not yet suitable for copy editing.

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.

Hi, if there are any copy editor who is familiar with A Nightmare on Elm Street film series, please help in copy editing the article List of A Nightmare on Elm Street characters. Thanks, thanks, thanks. NeoBatfreak (talk) 07:55, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Global warming

This FA article has recently been extensively updated. In a preparation for a TFA request (for December?), a copyedit would be appreciated. The article is of a sensitive nature, so an experienced copy-editor might be best for this article. Asked this a couple of months ago as well, but withdrew it as it was premature then.

Abu Abdallah ibn al-Hakim

Article about a vizier in the Emirate of Granada. I'm nominating it for DYK which means page view exposure, so I'd appreciate a copy edit. HaEr48 (talk) 23:08, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Atsushi Nakajima (Bungo Stray Dogs)

A new article created by English Misplaced Pages so other Wikis might also been benefitted from. The article isn't that big but it needs a grammar check. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 21:37, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

In My Head (Ariana Grande song)

Hello! I need a copy-edit of this article before it is reviewed for GA. I think a copy-edit would increase the chances for it to pass the GA review. Regards, and thank you, Paparazzzi (talk) 17:18, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Realize this might not get picked up for the GA review, but for the record, I suggested submission of this request at Talk:In My Head (Ariana Grande song). Thanks in advance! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:27, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Bum Bum

Hello everyone! I expanded the above article earlier in the year, and I would greatly appreciate a thorough copy-edit. I have no intentions on working on it further or pursuing a GAN or an FAC, but I think a copy-edit would be helpful for anyone who wants to learn more about the song or wants to expand on it further. Thank you in advance! Aoba47 (talk) 21:28, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Taylor Swift

Already a FA, this is due to grace the front page on 23 August. It was passed as a FAC on 31 October 2016, and as you might expect has seen a lot of edits since then. This is an area about which I know nothing, either in Misplaced Pages or real life terms, and so would be grateful if someone could give it a once over prior to it getting rather a lot of views. Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:31, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Myth of the clean Wehrmacht

The myth that the German military was not involved in any war crimes during WWII. Recently sent for Good Article Nomination. Szzuk (talk) 17:29, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

2019 Veldhoven Open

Will be taking to GA after copyedit. Article just needs more flow in the prose - see 2019 Leende Open, GA in the same category. Thank you for all of your hard work! Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski 21:07, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Ding Junhui

Since I've always been a big fan of Ding Junhui, it would be best for me to avoid extensively copy editing this article. I'm looking for assistance from someone with a neutral POV to copy edit this article. Hoping to push it to become an A-class article or GAN in the future. Thanks. —Bobbychan193 (talk) 21:47, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Sun Yang

A WP:BLP of a well-known Chinese swimmer. Would appreciate a copy edit to refine the prose and eventually push for GA. —Bobbychan193 (talk) 07:20, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Mad Love (Mabel song)

Dear GOCE. I was hoping you could assist with the above article. A user recently expressed concern regarding the tense and paraphrasing in the article so I think a good copy edit would definitely help. Thanks a lot! Cool Marc 14:27, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Would appreciate a c/e. K.e.coffman (talk) 16:46, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Plan for GA nomination. Some ce will be a great help. Thank you. AhmadLX-)¯\_(ツ)_/¯) 19:05, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

SpongeBob SquarePants

Would like for this article to go under a copyedit, because I'm thinking of bringing this to FAC in the future. Usually I would go about bringing everything under a single citation style, but the references are already rather clean and as far as I know, there are no duplicate or dead references. I'm mostly concerned with making sure it fits with standards for writing about fiction, cutting unnecessary sections, as well as regular copyedit work. Jerry (talk) 01:13, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad

The article on the Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad has been reassessed as a GA. It has been a GA class article since 2012. However, I am of the opinion that the quality of the article has fallen due to repeated unreviewed edits. Given my schedule, I do not see being able to engage in a potent c/e. Hence, this request. Tamravidhir (talk) 18:01, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

I think this is the general consensus. (See the talk page.) Bobbychan193 (talk) 21:08, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
