It's a pretty important article to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, and I would like to see it become a Featured list one day. A thorough copyedit would do the article some good.--EclipseSSD (talk) 21:51, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- Ok. Working on it now; it definitely has good information, but the style is certainly lacking in some areas. Let me see what I can do. Webmaster961 (talk) 15:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
The article is currently at the B-class level, but I think it has potential for more. Not being a native speaker, I feel that the language should be improved before I nominate it at GA. bamse (talk) 14:42, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
- trying to work on the modern stuff. Added a few links, etc., for clarification, especially over the Suppression of Jesuits...Made comments on the project page. What is "reduction" system? --Auntieruth55 (talk) 22:55, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
-
- glad you take on the copy-editing. "reduction system" is meant to refer to the organization of Indians in settlements with the purpose of bringing them close to European culture and religion. Have a look at the articles Indian Reductions and Jesuit Reductions for more detail. I noticed that you changed During the time of the Jesuits cattle breeding was introduced... into The Jesuits introduced cattle breeding. which I am not sure is correct. Do you have a reference for the claim that the Jesuits themselves introduced cattle breeding? If not, I'd suggest to revert to the previous neutral/passive construction. bamse (talk) 00:02, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
-
-
- try: Civilization and Barbarism: Cattle Frontiers in Latin America, Silvio R. Duncan Baretta and John Markoff Comparative Studies in Society and History, Vol. 20, No. 4 (Oct., 1978), pp. 587-620 (for breeding strategies to protect the diminishing herds); and The Undeclared War of 1773-1777 and Climax of Luso-Spanish Platine Rivalry Dauril Alden, The Hispanic American Historical Review, Vol. 41, No. 1 (Feb., 1961), pp. 55-74, page 56: the Jesuits introduced the cattle initially. --Auntieruth55 (talk) 15:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
-
- Another point I noticed: you changed Already in 1759 the Jesuits had been forced to move out of Brazil... into In 1759, the conflict between Spain and Portugal already had pushed the Jesuits out of Brazil,... I thought that the reason for the expulsion of the Jesuit in Brazil was the same as for the Jesuits in Spanish America: conflicting interests/power struggle/etc with Portugal/Spain. If indeed the conflict between Spain and Portugal was the reason for the expulsion (from Brazil), please direct me to references that show this. bamse (talk) 09:58, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
-
-
- The Undeclared War of 1773-1777: Climax of Luso-Spanish Platine Rivalry Dauril Alden The Hispanic American Historical Review, Vol. 41, No. 1 (Feb., 1961), pp. 55-74, page 62-63. The power struggles for colonial "space" was complicated by the Jesuit problem; Portugal and Spain needed to cooperate to obtain papal support for the suppression of the Jesuit order, which was entirely tooooo independent for both of them. The Jesuit grip on the populations of the Debatable lands (--is that what they were called) complicated Portugal and Spain's own competition. --Auntieruth55 (talk) 15:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
-
-
-
- Thanks for the references. Unfortunately I don't have access to The Hispanic American Historical Review. I added this article as reference for the two sentences (cattle breeding and expulsion from Brazil) nevertheless. bamse (talk) 01:26, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- both of these references can be found in JSTOR, if you have access to that through your uni or your library...--Auntieruth55 (talk) 19:22, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- I am not near any uni or decent library at the moment, though. bamse (talk) 02:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
BTW, Bamse, this is a terrific article, and I will be happy to nominate it for GA status in Wikihistory project. I do think, however, that you'll need a sentence explaining the reductions, for those who don't want to follow the link all the way to the other article -- just a sentence. And there are some "wordiness" issues...I do the same thing in my writing, comes from reading too much in German, I've been told. ;) --Auntieruth55 (talk) 15:08, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed, where should this explanation go? To the very beginning of the article (second sentence)? bamse (talk) 01:26, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- I would put it near or after the first use of each term. Your sentences in your post on my page were probably sufficient explanations. Very succinct. --Auntieruth55 (talk) 19:21, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- Now you got me confused. Which terms are we talking about. I thought you meant an explanation of what a reduction is. bamse (talk) 02:15, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
- Really nice article. I'm happy to spend some time cutting out excess wordiness. Btw-I've added a small definition for "reduction". Please revert if it's wrong. Thanks. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 00:35, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
This article I've contributed to underwent an unsuccessful GA review several months ago and prose was one of the reasons (I'm not a native speaker of English, although I consider myself a good one). Due to some new improvements by other users, I've decided to go for GA again and I'd like to fix teh spelign & gramer eror's. Admiral Norton (talk) 23:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
This article has passed GA, and will be put up as a FAC soon. An experienced copy editor is needed to further enhance the language and style. Skadinaujo (T•C) 20:22, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
Just finished a copy edit, but I've always thought that two or three sets of eyes are better than one. If you have a moment, please comment on the peer review as well. We are going for FA, so lets see what we can do to get this up there! Pax85 (talk) 06:27, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Attempting to clean up the article and bring to GA, possibly FA status at later dates. EclipseSSD (talk) 21:42, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- I just edited this. I didn't edit much that would prevent it from being upgraded to an A-class status. I mostly cut down on unnecessary words. Fdssdf (talk) 01:31, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Current FA. The article was copyedited during its GA review, but FA reviewers have noticed that further issues remain. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 15:58, 26 February 2009 (UTC))
Attampting to pass A-Class review, but since English is not my first language, I need help on copy editing. Jim101 (talk) 03:54, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
I need help with prose/flow etc; I've tried for FA, the facts are just about up to the mark, but there's too many choppy short sentences. I'm struggling to get that final polish on the article. -- Chzz ► 10:12, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
-
- okay, I went through and had a look. It's still very choppy, but to get over that FA-bump, I think it needs some organizational work. You've got all the stuff there, it' has a sort of chopped together feel. How far do you want me to take this, and how do you want to handle it? --Auntieruth55 (talk) 21:02, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
"Atlantic blue marlin" is currently a GA candidate. I have concerns about the plural form of the word "marlin" and how it is used in the article. My understanding is that both "marlins" and "marlin" are acceptable as the plural. I would appreciate your WikiProject's review of this use in the article. Thanks. Axl ¤ [Talk] 16:25, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
I put this article through FAC, but it was closed after 4 days with several editors not returning to comment. I had recently done a full article copy edit, but one editor believes "there are too many problems still", but he's vague and doesn't want to provide examples. I would really love some third-party assistance to come in and see everything I've supposedly missed. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:27, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
The article needs a copyedit before I nominate it for FA. Thanks, TheLeftorium 14:16, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
The aricle failed a previous FAC largely due to complaints about the copyediting.[1] Help would be appreciated. Will Beback talk 22:29, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
I don't see any WikiProject covering this article, or I'd ask them to spiff it up. Can WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors do anything with it? Thanks.
Later (second request): I posted this request here 07:08, 11 April 2009. User:Skomorokh deleted it 09:59, 11 April 2009 with the note "Falko Traber addressed".
IMHO article has not been adequately addressed and still needs copyediting. Please don't delete this post until article has been copyedited. Thanks. -- 201.37.230.43 (talk) 17:49, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- As a separate party, may I ask why you feel this? Judging by the edits, Skomorokh has done all that can be done to the limited prose in the article. Skomorokh is doing this in his own time, and it's generally considered polite to state what issues you have rather than state you're just unhappy with his work. Perhaps you expect him to provide sources for you? Rehevkor ✉ 01:54, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Have recently re-sourced and developed the article, and have reached the limit of what I can do at the moment. Would love to see it copy-edited before the next phase of expansion. I have extensively gone over the article but I have admittedly dodgy prose. Novel articles are frequently sub standard and it'd be nice to address that. It's not a huge article so shouldn't take too much effort. Thank you in advance! Rehevkor ✉ 01:32, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Article just recently passed a GA review, now I'm preparing the article to be a Featured class article. GA reviewer suggested that I get the article peer reviewed before attempting that. If anyone could review the article that would be greatly appreciated. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 15:41, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Going through its A-review, one reviewer requested a copy edit, specifically for the Other Countries section. It needs another set of eyes, let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Kirk (talk) 16:01, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
I re-wrote the article based on the Finnish version (FA), but the level of English is probably lacking. Could someone look it through? Thank you for your help. Mvaldemar (talk) 18:45, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
The article is currently undergoing a Peer review, and some further work will be done before it's taken off to FA. Editors have suggested copyediting. Thanks, EclipseSSD (talk) 14:54, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I was told this article needs alot of copy editing, and would appreciate some help. Thanks. DragonZero (talk) 19:18, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I would like to make this a Featured Article. I was told it needs some copyediting. Would anyone mind checking it out? Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 20:42, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
This article needs serious help, as it is almost completely devoid of wikification. Sources are missing, and for a while it did not even have a complete opening sentence. Thanks to anyone with the patience to do this. -moritheilTalk 01:23, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to try to have this page to FAC by the end of the month. Content-wise, I believe it is ready, but the language is rather simplistic and repetitive at times, so it definitely needs a copyedit. Thanks a lot, Scorpion0422 18:52, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Currently on GA nom, and I'm planning an eventual FA after a Peer Review sometime in the future. I'm a crappy writer, I admit it, and it needs a good copyeditor's attention. ResMar 23:12, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Currently a GA, though I would like to bring it to FA someday. One of the comments in the GA review was that the prose could do with some improvement. A fresh set of eyes in this would be very helpful in the push to FA. MelicansMatkin (talk) 23:12, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Following up on a really old request that I removed after the former, rather Byzantine, request system was discontinued. Anyway, I would copyedit this myself, but I found myself in conflict with a COI editor and would prefer a neutral third party do the copyediting. It's possible that quite a few wikilinks could be added as well. See the article's talk page for more discussion. Thanks! Katr67 (talk) 16:36, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Huge article with lots of information, would like it to go on GA sometime. Can you guys help look over it? thanks.Teeninvestor (talk) 23:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
This almost made FAL but was held back because of bad grammar, inconsistency, etc. Needs a good copyedit to whip it into shape! I'd do it but most of the problems on the page are probably caused by me. Me no good at english -- Esemono (talk) 06:38, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

The policy is going to be presented to the community soon enough, but I am a hopeless prose-writer. Would someone be able to copyedit it to a good standard? Nothing particular needed (that I can see), just a general all-round affair. Much appreciated. ~fl 01:11, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Bart Sells His Soul - This article is currently undergoing a GA review, at Talk:Bart Sells His Soul/GA1. Additional help with copyediting would be much appreciated. Thank you, Cirt (talk) 21:18, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
I want to nominate this article to be an FA but some changes were made during the peer review so I wanted to make sure the article was still well written. Thanks! --Peppagetlk 00:59, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
There are some stylistic issues, and the article could use a general copyedit to be more generally compliant with the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Some issues: include inappropriate use of bolding and of capitalization and general grammar issues. If you are having trouble in this regard, you could contact someone at the Guild of Copy Editors.
Hello. I'm working on the FAC Ralph Bakshi, and some reviewers have suggested that the prose needs work. Do you have time to take a look at the article? Thanks in advance! (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 17:45, 15 May 2009 (UTC))
Needs another copyedit. This article is on an excrutiatinlgy slow march to FAC. ResMar 00:16, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
This article was promoted to FA in November 2008 but I've never been entirely satisfied with some of the flow in the article. I wrote the majority of the current article and I'm slowly finding more things to rework but it would be nice to have an uninvolved pair of eyes to look over the article. Please comment on the article talk page if you have any concerns; thanks. --Brad (talk) 21:45, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Greetings. I overhauled these articles and made them considerable more informative and fully referenced with reliable sources. It would really help if someone with better knowledge of English than me would copy edit them - they are both pretty short. Have a nice day!-- LYKANTROP ✉ 12:50, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
I am going to submit this for FAC shortly, so I was hoping some keen eyes could skim over the text and give a consensus. It shouldn't require too much work, I think the prose is relatively consistent and adequate, however I know what FAC is like! Thanks in advance. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 10:55, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Needs some copyediting.yousaf465'
Working on it becoming a Featured list one day but to get there the article needs a good copyedit from a skilled copy editor of the Guild! Anyone lovers of history out there want to give it a go? -- Esemono (talk) 04:16, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'll start working on it this Tuesday. Any help from fellow guild members is greatly appreciated. AVandtalkcontribs 22:34, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
This is a substantial article, but it seems over-written and seems to overuse quotations. Any help would be appreciated! -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:39, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
This article recently failed a Good Article nomination, and the reviewer suggested that I get another editor to copy edit the page to smooth things out, so I came here. Any takers? [[User:Cat's Tuxedo|]] (talk) 15:42, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- I'll take a peek. Fdssdf (talk) 22:05, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- In the "Plot Overview" section, there is mention of "NV", but I don't see any explanation for what this stands for. Also I was de-capitalizing "crystals" in some places, but I also saw the word "mojo" and "power gems" capitalized. I'm going to leave the rest of these capitalized unless you think they shouldn't be, Tuxedo. I did change some in the early grafs. Fdssdf (talk) 22:27, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- OK, I finished looking it over. Tuxedo, take a look at the capitalization stuff, and decide whether or not those words deserve their capitalization. And the "NV" thing should be explained, as well. Other than that, it was pretty clean.Fdssdf (talk) 22:42, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- NV doesn't stand for anything. And most if not all those things are capitalized in the manuals and games in the series, so I'll fix those right now. [[User:Cat's Tuxedo|]] (talk) 23:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
This article is currently under review for GA status; there, it was mentioned to me it needed to be copyedited. I'd appreciate it if someone could give it a good copyedit for me! Thanks in advance! The Flash {talk} 23:01, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
This is a list, and has a short lead section which needs copyediting in order to meet WP:MOS requirements. I'd be grateful if some could look over it, then I could nominate it for FL status. Thank You ! Abeer.ag (talk) 20:18, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I work as a senior editor and technical director at a network-owned television station in the United States. I am generally good at spotting and correcting errors in printed text, voice over copy and graphics. I often refer to the AP Stylebook. My interests are technical articles about television, highways and musicals. |

I have a strong interest improving the general overall quality of Wikipedia articles via the copy editing process. Occasionally, this means re-writing text to remove or reduce the passive voice. |

Female Chinese teenager born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Naturally, I'm fluent in both languages. I try to help out Wikipedia and revise/rewrite whenever possible, however I mostly find myself coming back to articles on Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese celebrities because I find that those are the ones that require the most rewriting and additions. If you need some copy editing, you could try and leave a message on my talk page. However, I prefer rather short articles or stubs. Otherwise, it's too complicated. |
