@ Leventio: As you noted on your request, Military History of Canada is rather lengthy, perhaps too long for a copyedit, GAN or FAC. It's 20k words, and Wikipedia:Article size states that articles of 9k words should probably be shortened and articles of 15k words should almost certainly be shortened. The equivalent US article is about 9k words, which is achieved as almost all sections have main articles, allowing the sections to be kept to summaries of 1–3 paragraphs in most cases. Can something like that be done here? – Reidgreg ( talk) 02:38, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

In my mind, it's not clear what "which reach only 18-35 cm" refers to. .It looks like it refers to "females", but obviously that's silly and it must refer to "those (i.e. the horns) of females". Am I just being overly pedantic, or does this need to be rephrased? RoySmith (talk) 15:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)Both male and female Alpine ibexes have large, backwards-curving horns with numerous transverse ridges along their length. At 69–98 cm (27–39 in), those of the males are substantially longer than those of females, which reach only 18–35 cm (7.1–13.8 in) in length.[3]

this article isnt necessarily *hard* its moreso i've struggled with knowing what to chop (history section). ive asked in the talk page 4 a bit and i havent gotten anything, dk if anyone here has any ideas. >:3 -Astral ~(he/him/his) 12:25, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I listed 2022 Optus data breach in January this year for copyediting, as I wish to submit it for WP:FAC. Mox Eden accepted the article, but marked it as done three hours later, with no edits being made to the article. I still wish for the article to be copyedited ASAP for FAC, would I be allowed to reinsert it in the January 2024 section, or in May? It would be annoying to have to wait a while longer for it to be copyedited. JML1148 ( talk | contribs) 08:22, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
I've boldly merged these two sections because the articles have the same issues, the comments come from the same copy-editor and the requests come from the same requester, @ SKAG123: (courtesy ping). Cheers, Baffle☿gab 20:17, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
This has extensive citation issues so I wonder if it should be passed until these are fixed. Jim Killock (talk) 19:48, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

The tags here suggest research is needed rather than copy editing, so I'd suggest this is taken out of the queue. I've suggested peer review to @ GolsaGolsa on the project page. Jim Killock (talk) 20:04, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
The plot section lacks citations, so I've suggested the requester adds them before a copy edit. Altho perhaps plot summaries don't require this. Jim Killock (talk) 16:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
I've just removed two excess requests from one editor here (diff). The requester already has two extant requests on the page. I've notified them on their talk page here (permalink). Cheers, Baffle☿gab 23:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, I was asked why I wasn't "completing" copy edits and it was suggested I should "finish" these, so I thought it would be helpful to leave a note about this. I have worked as an editor and done editing plenty of times but I don't feel that I am familiar enough with WP's style and requirements to do a full copy edit without a check. Moreover, a double pass probably makes for a better copyedit. If it isn't helpful for me to work this way though please do say. Jim Killock (talk) 08:59, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

I want to prepare this article for a feature article candidacy (FAC). I have done the first round of copyediting myself but there is probably still a lot of room for improvement. Thanks in advance. Phlsph7 ( talk) 14:09, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm currently working on a long overdue citation overhaul, but this thing could use a good deep cleaning too. Eventually I'd like to get it to GA (GAN), but we're a long way from that. Lindsey40186 ( talk) 14:01, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

It would be great to get an experience copy editor on this request I received from an it.wiki pal User:LukeWiller. I don’t think there is a MOS:OVERLINK policy on it.wiki and this article definitely suffers from that in addition to tightening the prose to reduce its size and increase its readability. Thanks!
