Requests for copy-editing assistance

Place new requests at the bottom of this section. Explain the nature of the help needed; use the talk page if it can't be expressed in less than a few sentences.

  1. Murree I'm not familiar enough with the subject matter and there's only so far someone like me could go, maybe some other folks have a better angle on it. --BrokenSphere 04:18, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Reign in Blood On a CD not very long, was hoping someone could look at the lead, and the whole thing if time permits M3tal H3ad 09:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I copyedited the lead to turn it into something, I think, is unexceptionable; though my judgement might be impaired by fatigue. I might look at it again tomorrow. Rintrah 16:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Michael Jordan Recently promoted to GA status, I am trying to help get this promoted to FA and before I submit it for peer review I figured I'd try to get an outsider to copyedit it. Quadzilla99 15:27, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Jeff Hanneman Not very long, lead, style and influence, and personal life sections need some attention, Thanks. M3tal H3ad 08:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I did a once-over and fixed some grammar issues, but greater attention to word-choice and sentence structure might be required. The article relies heavily on quotations, which I didn't pull up... -- Scientizzle 22:52, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Activism at Ohio Wesleyan University I would like to get some help to improve the grammar and prose of the article. LaSaltarella 05:10, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Kammerlader, Krag-Petersson, Jarmann M1884 and Krag-Jørgensen; all written mostly by myself, and would probaly benefit if someone with a better grasp of English than myself. Thanks! WegianWarrior 20:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Ayyavazhi a long article needs a copy-edit. I also individually requested some users from this project. Please someone help and copy edit it. - Д=|Θ|=Д Paul| 19:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Leonard Orban, European Commissioner for Multilingualism. - I have written the article almost by myself and I am not a native speaker of English. --Michkalas 22:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Cúcuta: It is a great article, but my english grammar is not good. Could you please help me? --Ricardocolombia 22:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  10. Derby Lunatic Fringe I'm not sure how to approach this article about football hooligans. It might be a fun read, though, if you enjoy reading about the flower of England's imbeciles. Rintrah 20:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  11. Polish cochineal - article written by a non-native English speaker. Copy-edit has been recommended during peer review. Kpalion 19:28, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Cooch Behar- I am trying to get this article to a standard level to atleast GA, specially with grammar, spellings, POV, etc. Amartyabag TALK2ME 11:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  13. Delhi gained featured status last week, but the prose is far from satisfactory. Requesting a copyedit, so that I use the content to feature New Delhi. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 10:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  14. Gwoyeu Romatzyh (mentioned more fully here). For aficionados of Chinese, linguistics & writing systems: a fresh pair of eyes would be most useful. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 11:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  15. Queen (band) (former good article) - I have been referred here by a peer reviewer who said "the tone [of the article] sometimes reads a bit unencyclopaedic." Any help would be great.— miketm - Queen WikiProject - 02:07, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  16. Persian literature: the section on "contemporary persian literature" needs copyeditting. This section has been added after the article was promoted to GA status. The contemporary section has a lower quality than the rest of the article. Obviously the article is very important part of world literature and particularly Asian literature. Many thanks. Sangak 16:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  17. Henri Toivonen — The article is entirely written by a non-native English speaker. As the peer review went through without non-bot suggestions, I have no idea how bad the prose is. I'm hoping to see this promoted to at least GA. Prolog 14:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  18. Science and technology in Iran: I have built up this article from scratch over the last two years. It is now very comprehensive. However it needs copyediting for neutrality, style and also grammar. Any helps will be very much appreciated. Thanks. Sangak 16:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  19. Bart King: (From Talk Page): Greetings! I'm trying to get this article up to FA status. The main problem right now is that the prose is not quite up to snuff. Is there anyone in the league that can help copyedit this article to make the prose more compelling/brilliant? Thanks so much for any help you can give.--Eva bd 22:33, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  20. 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. --Nehrams2020 09:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Taking a look. Otheus 12:51, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Not too many technical problems, but overall, the lead is too big and filled with detail. I've cut it down a bit. I believe the order of the lead is the most important order; the organization of the article should generally follow it, but definitely not the other way around. (IMNSHO) --Otheus 13:18, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Re-worked the lead and first two sections. Otheus 14:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  21. 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. However, since I am not a native speaker of English, I believe it needs help on copyediting for grammar and possibly neutrality. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks. - Fedayee 22:36, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  22. 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 - Gaius Cornelius has created and improved the article massively - its broad, v. referenced, and compliant with the WP:MOS. There are plans for it to be placed on FAC (hopefully shortly). Thanks, RHB Talk - Edits 23:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  23. Dreamgirls (film) - is a current GA. They made a request for a peer review before they submit it as a FAC, and a suggestion was made that the article be copyedited. It's quite long. ♥Tohru Honda13♥ 01:20, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll help as soon as I can. Cheers! ♥Tohru Honda13♥ 23:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  24. Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest: This is in a peer review right now, with the intention of soon going for GA Update: Reached GA, but could still use some proofreading. It could use some spiffing up of the prose, since I've essentially done this one my own, and no expansion pack has ever reached GA before.--Clyde (talk) 00:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  25. Eugenio Espejo: This article is currently on peer review, with the intent of changing its status from B-class article to Good Article. It has lots of grammar mistakes. Any comments about it are welcome. Dalobuca 01:20, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  26. Sino-Vietnamese War an important topic to have a copy-edit tag, hopefully you guys can take a look. Will need prose check more than spelling. SGGH 16:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  27. Lethbridge Collegiate Institute: currently a GA; since I wrote nearly the entire article, it's sometimes hard to spot my errors in writing. Still looking for hard references for a possible future FAC nomination. PhoenixTwo 19:44, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  28. Crusaders is currently GA, has been through peer-review. Is very close to being ready for FAC, just needs a copy-edit. - Shudda talk 10:32, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • First pass complete (text only), despite knowing nothing of rugby and relatively little of NZ. Will try to take a fresh second look in a day or so. Comment on Talk re: idioms; did not address questions on Talk re: defining sport-specific terms. Unimaginative Username 03:05, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  29. Technopark, Kerala: Promising candidate, but it seems like every time I look at it, I keep finding little issues that prevent me from supporting it. There's probably even more that I just don't see. FAC nom here Circeus 17:42, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  30. Kulintang: Suggestion from other editors that this only needs a good copyedit from independent editors before final push to FA. A check on prose is required and a look see if WP:MOS are ok. Thanks FAC nom here PhilipDM 08:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  31. Shareef Abdur-Rahim: recently turned GA, just want to ensure everything is tight enough to sustain the GA status, thanks. Chensiyuan 22:53, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  32. Johann Pachelbel According to a peer review, this article has "A lot of the prepositions and prepositional phrases in the article are not quite right. There are also missing articles and a few awkwardly placed clauses." SkipperClipper 00:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  33. Dynasty Warriors 4 This is currently an FAC but there are still a couple of other problems with it. The major problem is that it needs a copy-edit. Thanks. Crimsonfox 11:02, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  34. Mayan languages: Currently in FAC and one reviewer suggested we should put a shout out to you guys, though there is also another outstanding issue (citation, particularly in the history section). See the nomination here, also in-progress review comments at Talk:Mayan languages/Comments. Thanks. --Homunq 00:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    No longer at FAC. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  35. Love. Angel. Music. Baby.: At its FAC, several editors have stated that it needs to be looked over for POV, and one editor stated that it's "overridden with semicolon junctions and repetitions of initial adverbial phrases" and needs "greater sentence variation and syntactic easing". ShadowHalo 00:43, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    No longer at FAC. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  36. Verbascum thapsus Suggested by reviewer that fresh eyes have a good look at it.Circeus 22:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  37. Great Barrier Reef#Environmental threats This section has recently been spun out into its own page and I'd like some help summarising what's in the main Great Barrier Reef article. -Malkinann 03:33, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  38. Agriculture in Canada have been working on lead paragraph, and article. Have had some excellent advise so far for guidelines. What next? It was nominated for GA, what should I do next to try to get it there? Thank you for any help. SriMesh|talk Julia 03:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  39. Geography of Saskatchewan have also been tweaking this article and lead paragraph. It was a previous B-Class and high rating. Is it still? How to move to A-class in writing and information? Thanks. SriMesh|talk Julia 03:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  40. Tenacious D: This GA article needs some slight tweaks to become FA class. Tenacious D Fans (talk) 07:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply from the editors: If the FAC is any indication, I'm the only one who still has really serious gripes with the article, whether be it the organization of information in several sections (which I'm not sure I have the energy to rework myself) or the citing, so I'd really appreciate if someone could still give it a look. Circeus 20:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  41. History of Sheffield A reviewer at FAC has suggested that a copyedit by someone unfamiliar with the subject might help. Thanks in advance, JeremyA (talk) 18:50, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  42. History of Poland (1945-1989) is on FARC. Bad prose is the only objection I am unable to address, not being a native English speaker. Help appreciated.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  01:49, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  43. Minneapolis, Minnesota is being readied for FAC, perhaps in May. After a marathon effort to cite what people had posted over the years, followed by successful nomination to GA, we received three comments that transitions and readability need work. Two of those people thought the prose reads like lists, apart from the sections that are necessarily lists. One person volunteered to help when he/she comes back from vacation a week from now, and I am willing to help, too (but am not a writer). Thank you. -Susanlesch 01:27, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  44. Boy Scouting (Boy Scouts of America), being readied for FAC, rated A-class by the Scouting Project. Rlevse 13:58, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  45. Banat Bulgarians, being prepared for GA and possibly FA status. Todor→Bozhinov 16:37, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for FAC and FAR

Articles should be thoroughly copyedited before being nominated at WP:FAC. If a nomination has progressed to the point that the only outstanding objection is copyedit issues, the article may be listed here. If an article placed at WP:FAR has improved to the point that its only outstanding issue is copyedit concerns, it may also be listed here.

  1. Halo 2: Going for FA, references, content are all sorted out, but there are issues with copyediting and after working on it for months I really can't do it anymore. Dåvid Fuchs (talk / frog blast the vent core!) 15:03, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Holden VE Commodore It has been suggested on the article's FAC page that the article be copyedited by another member who is not accustomed with the subject. Regards OSX 09:44, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Mackinac Island Current FAC. Minor prose and organization issues are the only objections so far. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 23:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I've done about all I can do for it. I wrote most of the content so I am at a bit of a disadvantage for copy-editing. Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 06:49, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. 2012 Summer Olympics bids: FAC nominee. So far, the only thing that is keeping a reviewer from backing the promotion is the writing style. I'm no native English speaker, so I cannot deal with the intricacies of the language to a level that I've been asked. A generous user has reviewed the prose and copy-edited it twice, but it seems it's not enough. Parutakupiu talk || contribs 22:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Plymouth Colony: Two reviewers have noted that the article is in need of copyediting. One said that it needed checking for "clunky phrases that could do with some rewording" and another asked for fixing "redundant wording and fuzzy expression" All reviewers have noted that the article meets all other criteria. I have spent 30-40 hours working on this, and thus probably need some help from other editors to bring a fresh perspective to the prose on this one. I would appreciate any help you could give on getting this one fixed up. The FAC nomination and comments can be found at: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Plymouth Colony Thanks in advance for your help! --Jayron32|talk|contribs 16:37, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Song Dynasty: this Chinese history article is a FA candidate, but the only remaining objection so far seems to be that it needs professional copyediting and proofreading, hence help from the League of Copyeditors/proofreaders. Thanks, --PericlesofAthens 08:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    All structural issues have been addressed; copyedit would help. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Toronto Raptors FAC that has prose issues. Editors involved are working hard to address MoS issues, so prose will soon be the only issue that remains. Quadzilla99 18:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Quadzilla99 18:55, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    All structural issues have been addressed; copyedit would help. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  8. 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. Colds7ream 21:58, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    All structural issues have been addressed; copyedit would help. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  9. S.H.E Currently at FAC. Copyedit request was posted on April 3, but received no feedback. - Pandacomics 04:28, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In progress

List articles here you have partially copyedited. Note how far they have been copyedited (e.g., up to Section X) and update as necessary. Consider placing the {{WP:LoCE:In Progress}} template on the article's discussion page. Move completed articles to Ready for final proofread.

  1. Bathinda: up to Climate (done intro). Rintrah 05:12, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Birote is an article which seems to be in constant development that I had been trying to keep cleaned up but my personal circumstances make it difficult for me to stay on top of this. If someone else would like to pitch in, that would be great. --JAXHERE | Talk 13:49, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • (Moved article here)It appears as though the development flurry has stopped on this, and it definitely needs a copyedit. However, it is a very long article and probably should be tackled in chunks, so I moved it here. Galena11 14:37, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Abbas Kiarostami Up to the 1980s. Rintrah 09:36, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Matvey Kazakov Up to Shadow of Bazhenov. "Neoclassical architect" sounds better to my ears than "Neoclassicist architect". Is this correct? BuddingJournalist 08:38, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Hakeem Olajuwon I don't know if there is any real crisis here. I'm just trying to help improve this article. It's a GA and I want to help make it the best it can possibly be, so if someone can come along and improve it any way that would be great. Quadzilla99 02:23, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  6. List of references to Superman in popular music This one isn't marked for copy-editing explicitly, just cleanup. However, I think it could benefit from it anyways. The original article was just a mish-mash of random facts, and I've started to reorganize it into a proper, sorted list, but could use some help if anyone's interested. The items that I have not yet sorted are under the "Other references" heading, and the last one I did was the matchbox twenty item. –Dvandersluis 16:19, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Supreme Commander In desperate need of copyedit. So far, I've done the lead and the infobox. —Daniel Vandersluis(talk) 17:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Captain Falcon I found it in the backlog. Since it was up to FA class, I found not many flaws except there is some colloqualism. Showmanship is the key 01:28, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. St John's wort#Botanical Description: Just this section was tagged, so its an easy one. Also, they are getting concensus on the spelling--I used the one that appeared to be the winner, but advised them that they will need to change the title and spelling throughout. Galena11 16:54, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Hither Green railway station: A train station in England. Galena11 21:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Huilliche language: An indigenous language of Chile. Galena11 21:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Xinghua Campaign, Way too overlinked (for example communist was an internal link throughout the entire article). I did the best I could. Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 00:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht: I could use some help copyediting this article. I'd like to get it to GA and eventually FA down the road. — Deckiller 22:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC) (Moved to proofread by Sigma 7 16:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]
  7. Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University I've done what I can with this, but it does need a more experienced eye to be cast over it. Cricketgirl 21:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  8. JLA/Avengers - Seems like a good article to me, but I'm looking for commments if it really needs proofreading to me. Showmanship is the key 00:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University See also item #23, above. ~ Otterpops 19:31, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  10. Wave board I've made big changes tonight - someone who knows more than me could fix the pictures so that the little [edit] links don't get displaced. Also this had tags for {{tone}} and {{ad}} - I hope I've fixed the article in those respects, but a proof-read will fix this if not. Cricketgirl 20:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  11. Westside, Long Beach, California I had a go at this, but while the article is dominated by census statistics, it's going to be a bit clunky. Someone with a good eye needs to look at this before the copyedit tag comes off. Cricketgirl 17:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Gandhidham.. Did all i could. The article is still incomplete, but i guess its ready for the Proof Reading.
  13. Jason Aldean country music star, seems a lot better Jollyjoegiant 04:09, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  14. Eskimo shamanism obscure topic, did the best i could Jollyjoegiant 04:09, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  16. Continuation War I think this is ready for proof. Navou banter 04:43, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  17. Anaximander: Since I helped a lot in writing the French article (a featured article), I thought I'd give a hand with its English counterpart. I think my English is fine, however I need someone to check the article for syntax, grammar, style conventions, or any typo that might have remained. (Didyaknow, after 2 zillions hours spent on a page, it totally disappears???) Any help in providing secondary references is also welcome. Thanks. — Robin des Bois ♘ ➳ ✉ 06:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  18. Ajo Motorsport short article about a Finnish motorsport team. Cricketgirl 19:56, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  19. Coffee - The only section marked for copyedit was Coffee with food, so that's what I copyedited. Pretty short. —Daniel Vandersluis(talk) 20:28, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  20. Cut Throat Committee - I'm not really sure if this stub is factually correct or not; the one source I could find that even mentions "Cut Throat Committee" says that it was/is (not sure) a record label rather than a group (see article's talk page). —Daniel Vandersluis(talk) 20:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  21. Disputes in English grammar - Only Arguments was explicitly marked, but I went through the whole article; most of the problems were in that section, of course. —Daniel Vandersluis(talk) 21:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Select any article that you did not copyedit from the "Ready for final proofread" section. Edit as necessary and note what changed (e.g., grammar, added ref tag) in the edit summary.
  2. Remove the copyedit template, if it hasn't been already (this will take the article off of the "Articles Needing Copyedit" backlog).
  3. Edit the copy-editor's comment on the discussion page to list your name as a proofreader (detailed instructions here).
  4. Move the article to the bottom of this section, add {{done}} on a new line, and make any appropriate notes.
  5. Archive any article that was proofread more than one week ago.
  1. 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)
  2. Franz Liebkind: The fictional author of "the worst play ever written", Springtime for Hitler, in The Producers. Galena11 19:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Phoebe Buffay "Marriage" and "Trivia" sections were the only ones copyedit requested for, those are the only ones I did. ~ Otterpops 19:14, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Against Jovinianus - organized it and some slight cleanup. BrokenSphere 01:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  8. Kingdom of Laos Up to Government. Rintrah 15:48, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ran into trouble on this one. The article heavily relies on passive voice, obscuring important information. I can't find a way of expressing the sentences more clearly, for I don't know the missing information. I give up on this one. Rintrah 09:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Encyclopædia Britannica: The key remaining objection at FAC appears to be copy-editing. In particular, Tony has called for a thorough copy-editing by other editors. Also, some of its sentences may be too long and perhaps old-fashioned in style; there may be ways of clarifying its intended meaning in some places. One of your number, TimVickers, has already gone through the article, but a second review might help in resolving Tony's concerns. Thank you very much for your help!

  14. 7 Seeds Did all I could. Lead needs a proof. Copy-editing isn't going to achieve much with the rest of this article, as it's incomplete and contains what looks to be machine translated text. Needs someone who knows the series to rewrite those sections. BuddingJournalist 09:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  15. Art of Fighting Gameplay section needs attention from a video-gamer. This article was probably the most incredible collection of run-on sentences I've ever encountered: "Released after the incredible success of Street Fighter II, which had by now become the blueprint for fighting games, a blueprint still basically adhered to today and one that Art Of Fighting 2 adhered to then, making it seem more what someone today would expect a fighting game to be like where a player chooses any character from the roster and can play through a simple arcade mode and fight a hidden/unplayable boss." BuddingJournalist 06:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Great edit BuddingJournalist! I just made some minor grammatical corrections, but I think it needs another set of eyes to finish it up.Croberts1 04:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • 15-year Gamer here. In early March I did a (badly needed) edit for grammar, punctuation, and organization to integrate information about why this game was important (and it was) to the history of gaming and credit to the people who developed it. Immediately reverted, too much "name dropping", also I think someone's picture got removed. Someone else have a go. ~ Otterpops 19:31, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  17. Colin McRae Rally is still B-class, but it no longer reads as an informal list of cheat codes and maps. Needs a proofreading because we all know I'm far from talented.

  1. Mozambican War of Independence FAC review, copy edit for prose, punctuation and sentence structure is the only main object remaining. An independent copyedit was suggested on the FAC review page, so I came to you! SGGH 09:00, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I struck the object, since Zleitzen (a capable writer) went through it. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
     Not done Moved here since there is no longer a need for c/e, according to SandyGeorgia. Galena11 18:07, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Albert Einstein Caution: there seems to be small community of heavily invested people living on and around this article. Between 2/28 and 3/13 I got the size way down and some kind of organization going, also checked and standardized the references that were there. The article was so active I couldn't tighten up the language very much - almost any change prompted a reversion or else sentences were added/moved around. It may help to tell them you're a physicist.~ Otterpops 14:22, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
     Not done Moving here because there doesn't seem much use in burning calories on it, due to its very active and proprietary editors. Galena11 18:18, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Marriage - could do with a copyedit, with focus especially on prose style, there are some very strange turns of phrase... Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:59, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I added some comments about issues in the prose and I left the POV tag; check the talk page under "Assessments of article quality and progress" to see if the editors agree that it can be removed. Galena11 22:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Not done I'm removing this from the list, because this article is hotly contested and has had over 500 changes to the lead alone in the last few months. Its possible that few or none of my original edits are even there, so this is a lost cause until the editors arrive at agreement. Galena11 21:47, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
