Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors

This is a proposal for the creation of a centralized group of talented copyeditors for the purpose of eliminating the substantial backlog of tagged articles. This group will assume the responsibility of processing these articles and properly editing them for grammar, punctuation, capitalization, word usage, formatting and wikification.

The copyedit tag:

denotes articles that are in need of work. We will take neccessary steps to modify these articles so they are satisfactory to warrant removal of the copyedit tag.

Mission Objectives

The League's objectives are threefold, we will ensure that:

The size of the copyedit backlog is reduced down to a managable level.
New articles that are in need of copyediting are so tagged.
Through group collaboration, difficult to process articles are processed through a team effort.

Current to-do list

Create a core membership of this project and draft a formal proposal.
Begin reducing the backlog of copyedit tagged articles.
Ensure accuracy by doublechecking copyedited articles with a final proofread conducted by a second league member.

Articles requiring assistance from other editors

explain the nature of the help needed, use the talk page if it can't be summed up in one sentence.

Chinese armies in the Second Sino-Japanese War: I have almost copyedited the entire article, but the Chinese Air Force section has rather silly language I cannot be bothered amending. There is not much left to do in the article. I have already done enough work on it and I do not have much experience with military articles. Rintrah 13:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Bakersfield, California This has almost exhausted my patience. If anyone else wants to help, please do everything from Highways. It is too big. I am getting continually growing more frustrated with it and putting less effort into it.Rintrah 14:43, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Balikpapan. I have done most of the article, but there are some sections I don't know how to edit: the second paragraph of Airport is confusing, and Kariangau Industrial Zones has content which is either poorly written or shouldn't be there at all. Rintrah 23:37, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~Albert Barillé~~ (Original version was confusing. I don't know if I copyedited it right.) Rintrah 08:31, 19 November 2006 (UTC) - It seems okay to me, although the word usage seems a little peculiar. I'm looking into the quote, though. Trusilver 19:51, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~Zoroaster~~ (It's given me a literal headache. Since this one is marked to go into the print Wikipedia, it really should be double-checked.) IrisWings 07:54, 21 November 2006 (UTC) Checked. It is well written. You did a good job. Rintrah 08:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
