#[[Persian literature]]: the section on "contemporary persian literature" needs copyeditting. This section has been added after the article was promoted to GA status.

#***According to [[User:Sangak|Sangak]], Persian is the language used in the literature, and should always be referred to as such.

#[[Oklahoma City bombing]]: ''(Copied from talk page)'' I would like to request that a member or two here please review the article. It is currently in GAC and I just want somebody to look through some of my sentence structure, grammar, and the lead section. I believe the lead intro section could use some work (I put details out of order as it is in the article, don't know if that is acceptable). Even if you tell me how to fix any mistakes, that would be fine. If anyone here would be able to assist, I'd appreciate it greatly. --[[User:Nehrams2020|Nehrams2020]] 09:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC) |

#:Not too many technical problems, but overall, the lead is too big and filled with detail. I've cut it down a bit.

#[[Armenian Revolutionary Federation]]: I and another editor have built up this article from scratch over the last few months. It is now very well researched and cited and i'm thinking of nominating it for FA in the near future.

#'''[[British anti-invasion preparations of World War II]]''' I've done a minor copyedit and some FAC editing myself, and the only criterion I would say this doesn't cover is the compelling prose - [[User:Gaius Cornelius|Gaius Cornelius]] has created and improved the article massively - its broad, v. referenced, and compliant with the [[WP:MOS]].

#'''[[Shuttle-Mir Program]]''' Currently a FAC, some objections were raised to the article, with most being solved by myself leaving only prose issues for completion. As I have pretty much rewritten the entire article from scratch, a fresh set of eyes would probably make a better job of sorting it than mine, and, as such, a copyedit would be very much appreciated in order to jump this final hurdle.

# Simeon I of Bulgaria: current WP:FAC which I'm absolutely determined to bring to FA status. Although my English is fairly good, I'd still appreciate a thorough copyedit by a native speaker, preferably someone who's got some knowledge of history. You know, there are some peculiarities that only a native speaker may be able to detect. Of course, multiple copyedits by several users would be more than appreciated! By the way, bear in mind that it's an European topic and this means it should use British English. Thanks in advance! Todor→Bozhinov 09:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC) |
