[edit]I rewrote this article completely over the last few years. Since English is not my mother tongue and considering this is a very important article, I would like to request a review to correct any grammatical errors or weird phrasal constructions that may have gone unnoticed. I still plan to expand some sections of the article, such as the legacy section, but considering the wait time, I will have everything finished by then. BCN. Torimem (talk) 22:47, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, this is former GA, and I'm preparing it for a Good Article Reassessment (GA-R). The article has been edited, reworked, etc. I think it's ready for copyediting and then a new GA review (GAN). Thank you. --evrik (talk) 01:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
Needs cleaning up for grammar and vocabulary. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 01:36, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Spent a good amount of time expanding and cleaning up this article. It failed a GA nomination, mostly due to me being unable to address fixes needed in a timely manner. I've fleshed it out a bit more since then and am hoping someone can give it a good fine-toothing before I nominate again (GAN). Thank you in advance for any help/consideration!

This is my second article on Wikipedia, and I am enjoying the whole process of collective intelligence. Please help me improve it. I've written the above article and believe I am close to completing it with all the necessary records and citations. As someone who collects historic performances to write articles on Wikipedia, I find it challenging to find detailed critiques in Korea. For example, Leonard Bernstein came to Korea only once, and while newspapers reported what he played, they did not mention his conducting style, orchestration, audience response, etc. I was there, but I cannot cite myself. It is difficult to find articles that can be used as citations for Wikipedia. There are plenty of discussions on social media and blogs, but I understand that these are not acceptable sources. I wouldn't mind if some of the unsubstantiated phrases or sentences need to be deleted. Any help with copyediting or finding reliable sources would be greatly appreciated.

- Ok I will see if there's any grammar mistakes. Ned1a Wanna talk? 14:57, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- I saw that you made a correction. Thanks a lot. Since they sang in Italian, I put the Italian title with the English one in parentheses. I rewrote a chunk of the text because editors say tabulating everything is too excessive. Please advise me on how to remove the box on top. Rosuacamus (talk) 15:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

- @Pollosito, when are you going to work on this article? Mox Eden (talk) 03:01, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Mox Eden: I guess at the end of July. Now I've graduated from high school and I'm no longer allowed to use the computer, so I'll have to do it on my cell phone. In case I haven't done anything by the end of July, you can pick this because I see you're interested too. Santi (talk) 00:13, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Planning to send it to FAC again soon. I have added a lot from the reception section and quite a bit at concept and creation section. It definitely needs to be copyedited. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 18:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Done some reference fixing here and tried to add further clarifications where needed. It could really do with a fresh pair of eyes especially om the music side of things. Karst (talk) 12:09, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Request for c/e for Birthday of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. I nominated it for WP:DYK (DYK) and it is an important article. Mehedi Abedin (talk) 11:56, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
I'm planning to nominate the article as a Good Article (GAN). It previously had some jumbled content copied directly from other sources and so had to be cut way down to remove all of that. I've rewritten it from the sources and would appreciate a fresh set of eyes. Rjjiii (talk) 20:50, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
This is an article I just when through FAC with, but it was suggested that the copy editing was really lacking (English is not my main language and I am not very used to the English Wikipedia standards). Thuiop (talk) 19:53, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
This article needs a thorough edit to bring it in line with WWP:MOS I have added where I feel citatations are needed. Please let me know when someone has gone through the article and I will start the process of adding further citations. Thanks for your help!. Karst (talk) 09:34, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
Requesting general copyedit over content concerns. This is Paul (talk) 14:26, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
BCR. This is the first article I have worked very heavily. I rewrote the majority of it from the ground up. I want a new fresh set of eyes on this, as I worry that some parts of the article are "crufty". My goal is to get the article to a "B" rank. (I hope I am doing this correctly?) SeymourHolcomb (talk) 02:44, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
An old GA article needed to be copyedited in order for it to be maintained and accurate. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 18:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Current FAC. I need some help about some statements during the article of which I have no more ideas to professionalize, such as "After attracting the attention of several artists by sharing the stage, collaborating with them, and going viral on TikTok, Miko initially composed the song in Los Angeles until she surprisingly met Feid there, having no contact with him before and being always his fan." If a prompt response is possible, the better, because, as mentioned above, it is a current FAC. Santi (talk) 01:54, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Second recuest from me, but less urgent. As I see that this is also suggested in the peer reviews, I put this in to improve the prose in FA (FAC). I repeat, it's less urgent, which you can put me on hold with this all you want. Santi (talk) 16:54, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
For GAN. On the Reception section, please check whether the prose checks out on verifiability and longer quotes (excluding the one in the quotebox) can be paraphrased. Edit: A general copy edit for clarity and neutrality will suffice. Thanks, Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 12:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Nineteen Ninety-Four guy:, please note citation-checking is not part of the copy-editing process. Per WP:BURDEN, the person adding the material is responsible for its accuracy and verifiability. Copy-editing is a "final prose polish" not a general fix-me-up. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 04:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- I see. I've struck that part of my request to reflect this. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 06:16, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
This page was promoted to Good Article status recently, but I'd like to nominate it for FAC. I would greatly appreciate a copyedit in case there were any issues I missed. Thanks in advance. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

GA reviewer was concerned with the article's prose. lunaeclipse (talk) 11:41, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
The article is very detailed, but its prose is kind of slanted towards recent events. It is also cited to few social media sites which I'm having a hard time trimming. Aiming for GAC (GAN) for now, then FAC afterwards. dxneo (talk) 12:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
I translated the article from Polish Wikipedia and it feels "rough" and in need of CE to me, would appreciate any help. KamillaŚ (talk) 19:19, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Really new article which is linked up to several highly viewed articles (including one which has gotten over 1 million views in the last 30 days). Honestly just need a second set of eyes to copy/edit it real quick. Only 36k bytes in size, but with high-viewage potential, it should be grammatically solid and correct. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:24, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Triangular bipyramid is another article I will take a submit to the GOCE. I have checked the writings in the article, but there is one problem in the section Triangular bipyramid#Related polyhedra. I'm aware that this section might be a problem during the process of GAN. If someone wants to copyedit the whole article, I appreciate it. Many thanks.
Note: This article is about mathematics, especially in geometry of polyhedron. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 11:01, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Requesting copy edit on the article Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman season 1. Thank you very much. NeoBatfreak (talk) 20:20, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
For GAN. I was wondering if this guild could make the Controversy subsection a bit more shorter? It's kinda long for a summary of one controversy with citation to one news article. Thanks, Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 08:14, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- There might be some here who could do that. However, I am one who thinks that trimming of otherwise well written material that lacks obvious redundancies or irrelevancies is the job of the subject-matter editors, who should know better what details of the controversy were most impactful and deserving of mention. Looking at the section in question, I do not see flabby writing, although I do think the amount of detail is excessive. On the other hand, I wouldn't feel all that competent in knowing what to cut, unless I made a such a study of the article that I would become a subject-matter expert myself. Dhtwiki (talk) 23:20, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Dhtwiki: I've trimmed the prose a quite a bit, so it should be OK now. Just a copy edit will do. Thanks, Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 09:55, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit]I've been fixing up this article by myself lately, but I'm unsure of how to format/write some aspects as it's covering a very distant topic from my usual edits. Hoping I can nominate it for GA after this, as it's a North Korean film with a controversial background involving kidnapping and all that, which deserves more attention. Thanks. Eiga-Kevin2 (talk) 05:18, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello GCE. My major concerns for this article are whether I am violating notability in the "Reception" section or giving undue depth in its history section since I'd like to eventually get it to GA status. Please be ruthless. Ornov Ganguly TALK 13:38, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
