WikiProject League of Copyeditors is a WikiProject that is dedicated to copy-editing articles on Wikipedia, or correcting grammatical, spelling, or stylistic errors within them. It was started on 22 November 2006 by Trusilver ( talk · contribs), and originally had ten members. Currently, it has grown in popularity, and, having 228 active members and 71 inactive members, it is one of Wikipedia's largest maintenance projects.

Copy-editing progress

The WikiProject has made a very good deal of progress in copy-editing, as evidenced by the time line on its main page, completing hundreds of articles, but as over 2,000 still remain, they will require a good deal of help to completely clear out the backlog.

Requests for copy-editing

• For articles that are featured article candidates or under featured article review where the only remaining reason for opposing is a need for copy-editing, requests can be added and handled at Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors/proofreading#Requests for FAC and FAR articles.
• If an article is a good article candidate or under good article review, requests where the only remaining issue for which editors oppose is a need for copy-editing, requests are added and handled at Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors/proofreading#Requests for GAC and GAR articles.
• For articles that do not meet the above criteria, requests can be added and handled at Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors/proofreading#Requests for other articles.

Award

If an editor consistently impresses with excellent copy-editing, the project has its own barnstar that you can award that user. Its syntax is {{subst:The Copyeditor's Barnstar|message ~~~~}}.
