  1. Michael the Brave (some copy-edit and verification needed from a native speaker of English) --Eurocopter (talk) 16:23, 3 March 2008
    Copy-editing Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 14:42, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  2. Cleomenean War (Level 4 ce before my nomination of this article for FAC.) Kyriakos (talk) 05:06, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  3. If anyone could find anything on Le Paradis massacre or Fritz Knochlein that would be fantastic, and allow it to reach FA status. I also started a requests section, I hope no one minds. Mattyness (talk) 23:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
    I have copyedited the former. Maralia (talk) 15:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
  4. Pakistan Air Force Academy (I think it needs copy editing from Level 1-5) SMS Talk 19:58, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
  5. Armia Krajowa - in preparation for a FAC. See A-class review in progress, need for copy-editing was mentioned during a recent (passed) GA review. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:07, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
    Done Cheers! Cam (Chat) 23:48, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
  6. John McCain (number 10 of the top viewed articles) and Early life and military career of John McCain. I suggest to copyedit the military career that is based on well researched facts and afterwards summarize it in the biography article. The problem is that the tone of the article about the military career and the military part of the complete biography are on the border of what is encyclopedic language. Wandalstouring (talk) 13:48, 21 March 2008 (UTC) withdrawn Wandalstouring (talk) 07:57, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  7. Battle of the Kalka River (1,4,5) Just finished a rewrite and I intend to nominate this article FAC in the future. Kyriakos (talk) 22:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  8. HMS Cardiff (D108) (Level 4 Copyedit) please. Is a good article candidate but needs to "flow". Ryan4314 (talk) 18:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
    Done. Maralia (talk) 13:01, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
  9. Kenneth Dewar (Level 4 Copyedit). The FAC revealed problems with sentence flow which are quite beyond me to fix - I can read the article easily (having gone over it many many times now) but obviously that's no good to the average reader. Thanks in advance, --Harlsbottom (talk|library) 15:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
  10. Battle of Debrecen User talk:Mrg3105 I'd like to request a look-over, and in particular I can use help with fixing the tables at the end of the article--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 04:02, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  11. Montana class battleship - My ultimate goal here is FAC, and according to reliable sources the article needs a copy edit badly (mainly for things like MoS compliance). Any help would be appreciated. TomStar81 (Talk) 21:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
    This is now on FAC, and another editer has objected to the article on copyediting grounds, claiming that there are grammatical errors and comma abuses (among other things). If someone could check and fix, that would be great. TomStar81 (Talk) 22:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
    Done. — Bellhalla (talk) 13:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  12. HMS Ark Royal (91). Currently at A class review. A need for a copyedit has been identified, some fresh eyes (as mine have become too accustomed to the subject) would be greatly appreciated! Benea (talk) 14:42, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
    Copy edit in progress...may take some time. -- saberwyn 09:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  13. Deva Victrix (Level 4 Copyedit) preparation for a second FA candidacy. The subject is a Roman legionary fortress in Britain and its associated settlement. Thank for any help. Nev1 (talk) 16:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
  14. Battle of Verrières Ridge (Level 4 & 5 Copyedit). I'd prefer to have a copyedit done on this thing before I go for the A-Class nomination, since I have a feeling that will come up in the review, and my eyes have become too accustomed to the page. Cheers! Cam (Chat) 18:19, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
    I've done the MoS bits and worked on cites/refs. I'll do some general copy-editing as time permits but would be happier if other editors got involved. I can give it a final read-through before FAC to fix any last minute stuff. --ROGER DAVIES talk 09:15, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
    This is running into huge objections by two prominent users (mostly on level 4), and is thus becoming quite urgent. Cheers! Cam (Chat) 04:34, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
  15. Brian Horrocks. (Level 4 & 5). The FAC has stalled on a criteria 1A oppose. I think a pair of fresh eyes is needed to get this over the finish line and would be much appreciated. Leithp 17:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  16. Morotai Mutiny Level 4 and 5 please - the article is probably FA standard, but needs another pair of eyes to check for adherence to the MOS before it gets nominated. Nick Dowling (talk) 08:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
