Elliott Fitch Shepard
My first FAC of this article failed as I still had to work through problems in the first month, by which time the review was closed. I'm hoping this process will remove further problems for my upcoming renomination for FA. Thank you.--ɱ (talk · vbm) 02:21, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

- Please do not archive this request yet, as there are still areas that need improvement. Consider this request still open. Thanks, --Biblioworm 21:13, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

This was at GAN, and I reviewed it. I feel like it needs a copyedit both for prose fine-tuning and for tone. It has its good points, but it's the type of article that would be best if copyedited by someone outside of that realm of expertise. In other words, ideally a non-sports guy should CE this. Wizardman 00:39, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
Working - Baffle gab1978 (talk) 21:01, 15 April 2015 (UTC)- Not done I did my best with this one, but I couldn't understand most of the article. I don't understand sports and most of this article seems like gobbledegook to me. Somebody more familiar with American sports should translate it into English. Sorry. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 01:17, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
Night of January 16th
During a recent FAC nomination one of the reviewers suggested the article could benefit from a copyedit, primarily around the flow. RL0919 (talk) 02:27, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Marsh shrew
Small mammal in the Pacific Northwest. Just promoted to GA. Request review prior to FA candidate submission. Thank you! --Gaff (talk) 06:07, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Microsatellite instability
This is a really important topic for genetics and cancer studies, but the article is really messy. Grammar is poor, references are all over the place...desperately needs some GOCE TLC. Thank you in advance Jkokavec (talk) 13:03, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- I have cleaned up the references. I have done no copy editing. Any editor may take this article. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:30, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Apatosaurus
This is an important article for dinosaur fans and experts, and current efforts are being made to improve the article for GA and later FA. Most of this article is about taxonomy/description, and if it were copy edited this might greatly improve chances of succeeding past these thresholds. Thank you in advance.

House of Plantagenet
THis was given a copy edit as recently as early 2014 but as a result of a failed attempt at reaching featured article status has undergone a near total rewrite. Copy editing help to get this up to scratch before a second attempt would be gratefully received. It would be good to create an exemplar House of ... article. Many thanks Norfolkbigfish (talk) 16:24, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Stanley Hotel, Nairobi
New article rescued from CSD and AfD, hoping to go for GA, but needs c/e. Deunanknute (talk) 01:23, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
Sanskrit
Old article, I added ~90 refercences over three months and moved/nuked 40% of the article. It needs more trimming. If you work in language area, you might also improve in ways that I can not anticipate. It is a high-importance Wikiproject India article and top-importance Languages article. I wish to nominate it for GA. --AmritasyaPutraT 08:18, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

The Dream (sculpture)
I would very much appreciate a CE for this short article before I nominate it for Good article status. Thanks for your consideration, ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:15, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Update: The article has already gone through the GAN process, but I think a copy edit would still benefit the article. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:20, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Second Bulgarian Empire
Greeting! I have expanded the article and intend to nominate it for a FAC or GA one day. However, I am aware that my English prose needs improvement and I believe that the orthography of the article also needs attention. I would greatly appreciate a copy edit. Regards, Gligan (talk) 15:01, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
I've copyedited the article up to the end of the History section. - Catcherinthefries (talk) 19:17, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Ebla
Hello, I want to take this article for FA. However, when I got it to GA, the main problem according to the reviewer was my grammar. The reviewer of the GA was kind enough to work on the article and fix the grammar, but since then, I have added a lot of information and I don't trust my grammar and typing skills. Thanks.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 10:31, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
2012 Budweiser Shootout
Hi. This article failed its FAC because of issues with prose. It would be much appreciated if anyone would copy edit this article to improve its quality and prose before the article gets resubmitted to FAC. Thanks. Z105space (Talk to me!) 20:00, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Could really use a copyedit as suggested in peer review last June. Hoping to eventually take to FAC. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:13, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Hawaii
Hi there, I'm seeking copyedit help wherever I can for this article. I put in a request for Peer Review to help with sourcing info but feel that the Copyedit Guild could very much be of great value and assistance. My intention is to work to getting it to GA status and eventually get it to FA status. Thanks! The Obento Musubi (talk · contribs) 23:50, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

I am preparing this for a possible run at FAC, since its 20 year anniversary is this year. BollyJeff | talk 12:38, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
Janee Michelle
I intend to sumbit this article for a GAN, but I think that it would be better prepared if it first received an independent copy edit. Neelix (talk) 18:21, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Timeline of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
This is ready for a Featured List nomination, but it just needs a good copyedit. AHeneen (talk) 11:24, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

It had its peer review recently and the reason to request here is to remove a great deal of close paraphrasing and the like..-The Herald the joy of the LORDmy strength 03:20, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Kill the DJ
I intend to make it a GA. I believe it needs some copy editing before it can be nominated. Help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! — Yash! [talk] 03:31, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Liberty Bell (Portland, Oregon)
Would appreciate a copy edit for this short article, especially since I've nominated it for GA status. ---Another Believer (Talk) 07:09, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Marie Stopes
Has been expanded in recent years. A copy edit would help it. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 04:50, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
Gender roles in non-heterosexual communities
Recently created article by me, B-rated (hoping for GA status). I would greatly appreciate any help that you could give this article.
Thank you in advance. – Zumoarirodoka (talk) 11:57, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
Supremacism
There seems to be a lot of heated discussion as to what constitutes as supremacism, what is/is not NPOV, and the information cited. Altogether, I think that the article could do with thorough copyedits to remove any discrepancies, and would greatly appreciate any help that your team could give this article. – Zumoarirodoka (talk) 20:51, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Zumoarirodoka. Thanks for making this request, but the GOCE does not copy edit article that are the subject of constant instability, so that our edits are not wasted. Do edit wars frequently occur on this article? --Biblioworm 22:00, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
- A quick look at the history reveals a flurry of recent (mostly one IP) edits, which were reverted by registered users. It would seem reasonable to put this request on hold and discuss at the talk page; it might settle down in a few days. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 03:10, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Ali
I would be very pleased if anyone copedit this looong article. Thanks ! RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 11:27, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Croatian parliamentary election, 1990
I would like to move this article along to GA and would appreciate a copyedit to work wrinkles out of the prose. Thanks Tomobe03 (talk) 00:02, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Ernie Banks
We had this to GA, but I'm afraid of it being delisted due to recent edits that have introduced poor sentence structure. I've made some attempts to restore encyclopedic language, but those edits haven't been allowed to stand for very long. I'm hoping that a neutral editor will help the situation. EricEnfermero (Talk) 05:40, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Sugar ant
Hope to bring this up to GA level. My writing is usually messy at times, so I would like someone to do a copyedit prior nomination, although I will most likely bring this through a peer review first. This article is reasonably moderate in size (nearly 1,900 words and 27,959 bytes in size), so the process shouldn't take very long for a copyeditor. Burklemore1 (talk) 07:05, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Pre-order
Comments: I tried to add some general information, however I'm still a new editor and rarely do any true editing, focusing mainly on vandals. I'd like some help with some cleanup, please! Thanks, Cnbr15 (talk) 13:05, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Bad Day (Daniel Powter song)
It needs a few more sources to cover the "citation needed" tags but it's probably close to GA quality. A copyedit would be very appreciated, though. Thanks in advance! Gabriel Yuji (talk) 01:38, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant
