- I've gone through and copy edited the article, but in my opinion there are several other issues which are outside the scope of my knowledge and abilities. ARoseThorn (talk) 02:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
Elliot Rodger
The article failed GAN after a lengthy two month that required a whole rewrite of the article. After all of the rewrites, the user who reviewed it then said that the article had "insurmountable issue[s] when it comes to neutrality and following WP:SS". The user stated it "would benefit from having much of the details of Rodger's upbringing placed into summary style. As it stands, the article delves too deeply into Rodger's details written in his manifesto" and "a vast proportion of the article is essentially Elliot Rodger's point of view, as written by him in his so-called "manifesto", with innumerable sources describing it, quoting from it, and analyzing it. Normally, this would trigger neutrality issues, as there is very little presented here to counter Rodger's dramaturgical pathos. As these passages have been reported on by RS's, a modicum of their inclusion ought to be permitted. That modicum could be attained if those mentions were efficiently summarized instead of described in great detail. By describing Elliot's POV in great detail with very little opposition described, the article appears to tilt in his favor (unintentionally)". I would like to renominate the article in the future but this editor stated the article doesn't meet WP:SS and WP:N. I would like if it followed that way. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 01:09, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
- I don't think that the major issues with your article are going to be helped by a copy edit. I have read through much of the article and made several changes, but found what is there generally well expressed. To edit out the wealth of detail that it suffers from would take more than a usual copy editing, which should focus on spelling, diction, phrasing, coherence, and removing obvious redundancies. It would not be easy to summarize the various fits of jealousy and thrown soft drinks, without feeling that something critical is being taken out. Dhtwiki (talk) 06:09, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Tremors (1990 film)
I just recently expanded this for GAN, so it needs a new pair of eyes. Thanks, Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 16:30, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- Note: this article has just been promoted to GA status. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 09:18, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
28 Weeks Later
For GAN. Pay special attention to the Critical response and Themes sections for syntax, sentence flow, and redundancies. Thanks, Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 06:41, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
- Note: this article has been a GA since April 5. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 06:44, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
Artpop
I would like to prepare the article for GAN. Thank you for your work! Sricsi (talk) 16:41, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
Doing... I will inspect and prepare the article. Robloxguest3 (talk)
16:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)- I think it is ready. I would heavily recommend double checking just in case, but I don't see anything glaring. No promises. Robloxguest3 (talk)
16:49, 12 March 2026 (UTC) There are a few weasel words, which I marked. However I don't have a lot time, perhaps get another user to finish? Robloxguest3 (talk)

Yes, if someone could look into it, that’d be great. Sricsi (talk) 00:21, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Calvin and Hobbes
Needs copyediting, has some messy grammar and quotations. Thanks! Robloxguest3 (talk)

The Kid Laroi
Highly visible BLP that has some issues with tone, organization, and generally odd prose. I did some small copy edits, but it would benefit from a more thorough review. Wracking talk! 04:48, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
Suzette Quintanilla
Found some comments outside of Wikipedia concerning overly detailed information and could use a good dose of copy-editing. I did the expansion so I could be blinded and could use a second-eye to trim any and all unnecessary information as well as making sure the article remains neutral.

Back from an archived FAC. Looking for a copy edit of the rest of the article so it can be resubmitted eventually. Thanks in advance! RedShellMomentum 00:36, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths
Requesting copy edit of the 2024 straight-to-video film Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths. It would be better if this editor is familiar with DC Comics characters and storylines. Thanks. NeoBatfreak (talk) 08:16, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
1986 Intercontinental Cup
This a GAN that I've been working on since a while. However something doesn't click to me and I don't know what it is. It's either the prose or the sources. Any feedback would be appreciated. Crispybeatle (talk) 23:43, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Herbert A. Parkyn
The above article on a 19th century hypnotist/medical pratitioner/athlete was recently created by User:DJ71park and already weighs in in at over 238,000 bytes. The subject is interesting and notable, but the current presentation is verbose, including collateral biographic/historic information on numerous colleagues and related enterprises and investments. It is IMO in serious need of a copy edit if somone here wants to have a go at it. I left some preliminary comments at User talk:DJ71park#Herbert A. Parkyn. Cbl62 (talk) 17:31, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
On hold; I agree this article is too verbose and detailed to be useful to most readers. Much of the content will need summarising or removing, so I think a copy-edit right now would be wasted. Discuss at REQ talk. 🅑🅰🅖 ☿ 🅴🅻🅵🅵🅐🅱 19:25, 23 March 2026 (UTC)- I'm working on trimming it down. Have already cut a bunch and will be cutting and summarizing more in the next few days. Thanks. DJ71park (talk) 21:39, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
(←) Note, this article has been cleaned up and reorganised a lot since the request, so I think a copy-edit would be 'sticky' now. Discuss at REQ talk, 🅑🅰🅖 ☿ 🅴🅻🅵🅵🅐🅱 03:13, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Downtown Line
I know that article was copyedited before, and that was nearly six years ago when I initially hoped to bring the article to GA. But life got in the way and I managed to uncover more information and overhaul the article to its current state. It's now at GA, but I hope to bring it to FA (FAC) standard soon enough.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard
I'd like to see if the assessment of the article could be raised. As is, it is in need of a copyedit since it is probably a bit overly detailed in some sections (such as Marketing & Reception). I will flag that the development of this article was pretty contentious throughout 2024/2025 leading to multiple RfCs; however, the article has be stable for the last 6 months.

British Junior Snooker Championship
Looking for a copyedit (and any other suggestions!) before putting this forward as an FLC. Thank you. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:21, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
Leon S. Kennedy
I felt like this FA article needs some in depth copyedits from a native editor since I am not native enough that I might have missed any grammatical errors. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 23:28, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
Josef Hoop
Hi, this article narrowly failed FAC last month due to concerns about the quality of the prose. Since then, I and a couple of other editors have improved it; I would like to know if anyone could provide further assistance/provide pointers to improve it further as I would like to nominate this again soon. Thanks. TheBritinator (talk) 14:43, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

Milwaukee County Transit System
Has had an article or two merged into it and it shows. The article is also currently a bit of an uncohesive mess of news blurbs/fleet trivia/fancruft. For eventual PR. Packerfan386beer here 07:52, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Athanasius I Manasses
The article on the first twelfth-century Orthodox patriarch of Antioch to be enthroned in the city requires a thorough copy-edit prior to its GA nomination. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. Borsoka (talk) 05:02, 2 April 2026 (UTC)
Grace Ashcroft
A newly created article that surely needs to be copyedited before nominating it for GAN. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:08, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
Ben Roberts-Smith
Article is currently A-class and I plan on making it a FAC. I'm requesting copy editing prior to that occurring. Note: there has been a flurry of editing to the article today, due to real-world events and my main concern is with improving grammar and flow. TarnishedPathtalk 11:39, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
- Ps, the article uses Australian English. TarnishedPathtalk 23:28, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

On hold; the subject is currently in the news and the article is being heavily edited right now. I suggest waiting a while for it to settle down before copy-editing occurs. Discuss at REQ talk. 🅑🅰🅖 ☿ 🅴🅻🅵🅵🅐🅱 05:39, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

GA that I would like to submit as an albeit short FAC. As this would be my first, I'd like a prose/MOS check before submitting. Jordano53 00:55, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
It'll End in Tears
Hi all. Looking to take this to GA and then FAC in the next 6 months or so. I know my grammar sucks so would be very appreciative of help/corrections. Thanks. Ceoil (talk) 22:44, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
