- Current GA (and in fact A class by WP:AUTOMOBILE's standard). Has been nominated for FA several times and failed most recently solely due to my objection on grounds of prose. The reaction to failure at the wikiproject was "Yeah - but it seems to have been rejected with just one comment...the dreaded "I don't like the quality of your prose" thing...which nobody ever knows what to do about.". I'm being bold therefore and listing it here on behalf of user:Karrmann and WP:AUTOMOBILES. Cheers. 4u1e 09:10, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

- This is an FAC and has recently passed GA. Can you please help copyedit it by addressing tweaks in the style to make it flow better, and general word use? Prose flow is the only remaining concern, the only problem which was introduced so far. According to one editor, there is necessarity in minor style tweaks to make it flow brilliantly, particularly in the personal life section.

- I would like this article to be scrutinized by a larger number of editors, as it's currently suffering from the editorial biases of its primary editor (me). I wish to eventually nominate this article to GA (and FA) status and as a first step, I've submitted it for peer review. An automated script suggested that this article should fully comply with Criterion 1A, so I've put it before the League to seek the opinion of qualified Wikipedia copyeditors. I appreciate your time and consideration. Cumulus Clouds 04:23, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

- I am looking for someone to do a good copy edit on this article, I've managed to get it to GA on my own (not totally of course I had a lot of help) but I am not a native English speaker/writer and I'm not able to personally improve much on the article on my own, but I want someone good and experienced to read it over and edit it for language, grammer etc before I even think about submitting it for FA. Also, the article is about professional wrestling and I've worked really hard to make it accessible to everyone and more encyclopedic that most wrestling articles, I need someone with little or no pro wrestling knowledge to read it and tell me if it's understandable, slang free and "out of universe" enough.

- This article has failed and failed again, mostly for in-universe context. However, a recent GA reviewer stated that the article did not meet criteria 1a (meaning that the article must be well-written). When I heard this, I figured I need an expert to fix this as I am clearly unqualified. I would really like somebody to just read through the article and see what they could do. I would appreciate it. Parent5446(Murder me for my actions) 00:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
- The article has succeeded it fourth GA nomination, but the main opposition on its FAC was that its prose is horrible. It needs to be copyedited soon if it is to progress. — Parent5446 (t n c e m l) 15:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

- The article used to be better than it is now — it read better, had slightly better documentation (especially in the section on the funeral), and had fewer "peacock terms" and non-NPOV remarks. It failed as a good article candidate in March, though it would have helped if "fact" tags had been added where citations were most needed; I've gone back and added such tags here and there, but there are more needs than the few that jumped out at me, I'm sure. There should be substantial reference material available, given that he's one of the dominant non-government figures in Latin American history of the last 50 years. I worked on the article several times previously and added a lot of documentation that seems to be gone now; try the history.Lawikitejana (talk) 20:34, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

- The main issue is prose, as cited by a couple of users during this article's FAC. It narrowly failed, with three supports and four opposes (a supporting user decided to switch because of a perceived lack of stability).

- This article has recently been vastly expanded and improved. It is currently concluding a peer review and I would like to nominate this article for GA or FA stutus soon. I was recommended to come here by a member of the LOCE. We need copyediting for flow, tone of voice, grammar, spelling, paragraph structure (stub paragraphs), and whatever else services you could provide. We also need major help with our citations and sources as they are not all properly formatted and I have been unable to find someone who is able of willing to cita sources in the correct format.--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 03:51, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Valdivia, Chile (edit|talk|history)– Added 13:09, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Edit this request • Add comments
-
- I have edited the article Valdivia, Chile for more than one year now, but I have focused on adding material to the article more than anything else. With such much content it requires too much work (for one editor) to reach the Good article criteria witch is the current goal.
-
-
-
- Some work to do include:
-
- 1 Citations and sources - try to find sources for the information that is in the article. I havent still found a good citable source for the citys population.
- 2 Spelling and grammar - some sentences sounds very strange, maybe you could help
- 3 Organize information - some information is repeated in different sections it can be unnesesary
- 4 Expand article - I see it as the less nessesary improvement, but it is still the most attractive work
-
-
- There are also some repeated information for example:===
-
In the Valdivia, Chile article i feel that some information is unneserarily repeated becuse Im not sure in whitch section it should be. I dont mean that all informetion can only be said once, I just want to make the article nice to read and keep everything on its topic. Maybe some of the sections of the article is unnesesary. It would be useful to have your opinion about:
- The economy section vs the last part of recent history - in whitch section should the recent history of the economy be?
- The economy section vs the last part of Independence and growt - in whitch section should tourism be?
- Prehispanic times vs Independe and growth - a cite of Charles Darwin is repeated because it is important to contrast his description of the landskape with early Spaniars one, but in whicht section should this comparison be made?
- Independence and growt vs German influences vs Education - Information about the German school apears in each of these sections.
- Independence and growt vs German influences - where goes the limit between culture and history, the things that are said in the history section could be said under German influnces and viceversa.
- Government and politics vs Ecological action - The CELCO case is named in both parts.
- Government and politics vs Culture vs Great Chilean Earthquake and Valdivia in Los Lagos Region - Where should the information about the creation of Los Ríos Region be placed? Dentren

- This article was copyedited before but it failed being a featured article. The only reason was because the article's prose was not written properly and needed copyediting. Therefore, I am requesting help to improve this article to become a featured article. Thanks. σмgнgσмg 12:46, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

- The primary issue with this article is the need to have an editor unfamiliar with American football point out areas that are unclear. The article has been looked over by several editors familiar with American football, but an edit for clarity is needed from someone unfamiliar with the subject. It's a long article, but if you're unwilling or unable to make changes, please contact me and I will make them as soon as possible. Thank you for your review.

The author merged two different names into one. You may clean up the article as you wish, but I wanted to clarify this point.

- Change wording on sentence structure should it sound confusing.
- I would like the prose improved as a whole, so I can renominate it for FA-status.

- This article recently failed a FAC nom, though the only constructive comment it received was a need for cleaning up. I can't see where the problem is myself, and I'm hoping some fresh eyes will be able to spot the deficiencies. Note that someone else has nominated the article for GA, but there is no feedback as yet to suggest that a copyedit is required in order to succeed at this. My motive is to get the article ready for one last stab at FAC. I would appreciate any feedback. --FactotEm (talk) 10:20, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

- Battle of Vimy Ridge was a GA candidate, but unfortunately it failed to meet the criteria at the time. I am requesting a copyedit for several reasons. For one, it will only help the article if a fresh eye checks it over. For another, there may be several spelling or grammatical errors that have been missed during editing, and a copyedit would surely help to rectify those.

- I have edited this to a standstill. Here is the comment I got after submitting for GA: This article is pretty well referenced and comprehensive. Its two main problems are that many of its images have no free use rationale (this is a quick killer of GA noms). Also, it needs a copyedit from someone not familiar with the subject. I'd suggest going to the WP:LOCE before renominating just to be sure everything is covered. I think I fixed the free use rationale. So what is left is that copyediting....Jacqke (talk) 20:44, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

- Although i am a member of LoCE, i am requesting someone to go thru the article and fix prose issues which might have escaped my eye. A few months ago, I copyedited the whole article b4 its GA nomination. A week back i listed this article for FAC and it was opposed due to prose issues. Since i am one of the main contributors to the article, it has been suggested that i let a fresh pair of eyes go thru it so that any prose issues left unaddressed might be corrected. The FAC nomination is here and the peer review is here.I hope copyediting the article wont take much time....

- I have recently added a bunch of info, rearranged and reformated a lot of this article to try and make it acceptable for GA (or even FA) review, and as a result, it is a little patchy. It could do with an expert copyeditor going through it and ditching redundant text, making the sentence structure and flow much better, and making the whole article read comprehensively for a non-expert.~ Ciar ~ (Talk to me!) 05:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
