According to User:Dragons_flight/Category_tracker#Cleanup, the backlog has now fallen below the mean to 1052 articles (-35 in the last 24 hours)! Keep it up all! Budding Journalist 14:23, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
I have noticed that many (if not most) of the articles tagged for cleanup ( Cleanup category) are in fact mostly in need of copy-editing. Also, the WP:Cleanup page says articles it lists need cleanup such as grammar, formatting, order, or confusion. Unfortunately, 21,680 are tagged for cleanup, 1.33% of the English Wikipedia's articles. People apparently often use the more general tag "cleanup" rather than "copy-edit". Let's not get disheartened, because every article we improve is worth just as much, regardless how many remain. But I think this is the whole of our work and we have to think of it this way. And we have to try other ways of improving those articles, as I said in #Recruitment. Thoughts? - Pgan002 00:54, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Could you please help me to copyedit the article of Cúcuta?
Thanks,

Do the instructions here make it clear that editors should be placing tags on talk pages, and not on the article? I've had to remove several LoCE tags from article pages. [1] SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 17:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I must say, thank you for going to copy-edit Roswell (TV series), it really needs it.. So, thank you so much! Yay! Illyria05 ( Talk • Contributions) 02:08, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
I would like to request that a member or two here please review the Oklahoma City bombing 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)
I would like to submit this as a Good Article, and eventually give it a featured article nomination. Please take a look at it, and work on the copyediting. If anyone has any specific questions or comments about the article as it is, feel free to bring them up on the talk page, and we'll discuss it. ( Ibaranoff24 05:01, 4 March 2007 (UTC))
Hello everyone. I'm here to request some help for this article. It's been built up to its current state largely through the efforts of a relatively new editor, Nigel G. He's had me and a few other editors help him, but his work needs the attention of more users. Please, if you can, look over the article and try to improve it, even if it is just a minor edit. Thank you for your time. The ikiroid ( talk· desk· Advise me) 02:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Due to the recent number of requests added to our talk page, I've gone ahead and added instructions for posting requests to our proofreading page. Thanks! Galena11 18:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello. The article on William Monahan has recently gone through a thorough copyedit as a result of suggestions at WP:FAC. It has been suggested that I receive a final once-over from you guys. Would you be willing to give the article a quick look and see if you can help to improve the prose in any way?- BillDeanCarter 16:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
I just wanted to give an overall thank you to the members and participants at the League of Copyeditors. Two users, Cricketgirl and Unimaginative Username should be single out for their work on Rock Springs Massacre, recently promoted to GA and soon to go further with some additional work. Both users earned a Copyeditor's Barnstar for their efforts but the whole project should be thanked for providing a place that centralizes the copyediting effort on Wikipedia, So I award the whole project this (don't know if this is "possible" but I say it is, I am giving the project an award, put it on the project page or something I guess : /)

Was the copyeditor's barnstar approved? If so, how can one award it to someone? Thanks! Galena11 14:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
