==Archiving bot==
Hi coords, it looks like there's a problem with the archiving bot {{noping|YiFeiBot}}, which hasn't archived completed requests since 10 January. I'm not sure what's causing this so I've been tidying up unusual bits of code like asterisk bullets, poor threading, etc but that doesn't seem to have worked. I've also gone through the 2023 archive page to check there, fixed an unusual 'and' but didn't find any other oddities. Perhaps the bot needs a holiday... I'll see what happens next before I bother the bot-runner. Cheers, '''[[User talk:Baffle gab1978|<span style="color:#191960">Baffle☿''gab''</span>]]''' 01:59, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

== [[Military History of Canada]] – too long? ==

{{ping|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 [[Military_history_of_the_United_States|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? – [[User:Reidgreg|Reidgreg]] ([[User talk:Reidgreg|talk]]) 02:38, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

:There has been a paring down/trimming down effort on most of the sections already. That said, I've actually been debating splitting the article into two for a while now in my head (was sort of just trying to figure at where). I can withdraw the request if that is what the people here would like. [[User:Leventio|Leventio]] ([[User talk:Leventio|talk]]) 05:24, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks, {{u|Leventio}}. It would make more sense (and be easier on us) to copyedit both articles after the split. As it is, it probably wouldn't be promoted to GA because of its length and it took a long time to load in my browser.

For a future FAC. Thank you. [[User:LittleJerry|LittleJerry]] ([[User talk:LittleJerry|talk]]) 01:26, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
:The future is apparently here; I'm reviewing the FAC now.  I'm struggling with {{blockquote|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]}} 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".

::Hi {{ping|RoySmith}}, this content matter should really be discussed with the requester, at the FAC review or at the article's talk page.

Hi, I listed [[2022 Optus data breach]] in January this year for copyediting, as I wish to submit it for [[WP:FAC]]. {{u|Mox Eden}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors%2FRequests&diff=1206155419&oldid=1206137517| accepted the article], but [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests&diff=next&oldid=1206155419| 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?

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. [[User:JimKillock|Jim Killock]] [[User_talk:JimKillock|(talk)]] 16:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
:Hi {{ping|JimKillock}}, pure plot summaries of what we see and hear in the film, like "Dave goes into the woods and is followed by an axe murderer; thirty second later, Dave screams.", usually don't need citations per [[MOS:PLOTSOURCE]]; the film itself is regarded as a [[WP:Primary|primary source]]. If the plot section contains any analysis, opinions or commentary, such as "Dave doesn't hear the axe murderer because he foolishly has chewing gum in his ears", that would need a citation. I usually either mark any commentary with {{tl|cn}}, move it to another section or remove it per [[WP:OR]].

== First pass copy edits ==

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.

::My hope is to be as helpful as I feel able.

:::Thank you for your copy-editing work Jim, it is appreciated. A well-done first-pass c/e does make the job easier for the second editor, and I'd rather see a '''partly done''' template on an incomplete c/e than have to unarchive and relist requests that need more work after complaints from unhappy requesters, which has happened in the past. That said, working on short articles may help increase your confidence and knowledge of Wikipedia editing; also, while we allow some commentary at the Requests page that may help other editors, extensive discussions should be brought here (I know I'm guilty of that too!).

::::For a while, I made a first pass at many of the requests, tidying up MOS-related errors and fixing citation problems so that the eventual copy editor would have an easier time focusing on the prose. I never bothered with a "partly done" template, though, since it creates traffic on the requests page without clearing any requests. I satisfied myself with knowing that I had made small improvements to Wikipedia. I second the recommendation to work on articles from the backlog in order to gain familiarity with Wikipedia's house style(s). Also, {{U|JimKillock}}, if you are interested in seeing what changes are made during a "second pass", you can add pages to your watchlist. All good copy edits are valuable! – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 12:54, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::Yes, that's exactly what I've been doing :) Seeing what I am missing is definitely very helpful. I've used the "partly done" template because I've usually made pretty large changes to the articles and wanted to signal that the job should be lighter for someone picking it up, eg [[Charlemagne]] is a pretty hefty article but should now be a bit easier to finish. There is some self interest in helping in this queue, I plan to put a few articles forward to GA and FA, so I felt it would help to keep the queue moving (even tho it of course distracts from my other tasks regarding those articles).

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!

*{{Done}} I might not have done all that was requested, but I put a fair amount of work into making this long article clear and coherent. I probably added more links than were there at the start, but I thought that was necessary. One flaw that I did not address was the extensive listing of important Italians (all of whom had articles to link to). I could have reduced the article by eliminating such lists but at the risk of losing information that was not at supporting articles. That sort of reduction I leave to subject-matter editors, who should be more informed as to what is at the articles where such detail is appropriate.

Good evening! There is an autobiography tag on an article I’ve contributed to and I’d love for someone to make sure it’s not biased or written in an inappropriate way, and for someone to remove the tag when the article meets the standards applicable. I’ve declared the CoI already, but I’d like to go a step further and make sure fresh eyes check it. [[User:Evanroden1|Evanroden1]] ([[User talk:Evanroden1|talk]]) 21:22, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
:Hi {{ping|Evanroden1}}, I've checked the article; the autobiog template is appropriate. I've failed verification of some of the sources used here; the ones I've marked {{tl|not in source}} don't say what you say they say, and some are not [[WP:RS|reliable, third-party sources]]; I've tagged appropriately. Some of the text is off-topic and may best be moved to talk or [[Youth Coalition for Organ Donation]]. The rest should probably be stubified.

::Gotcha! I’ll check what I can to fix those. I brought this up not because the autobiog tag isn’t appropriate — it clearly is — but because I’m interested in a fresh set of eyes to see if it can ever be removed, assuming others end up editing it.
::The first source does mention Evan (me); I’m included at 0:52 seconds in the video.
::I changed the wording just now for the 42% claim to match the 37% mentioned in the source.
::The sixth source should be fine I hope; the sentence says that I’m working to address concerns that people have had with opt-out donation, and it links to a page written by myself and Joel Giambra trying to do that (maybe not successfully, but that’s neither here nor there).

::Just went through and made some edits. I left a few of the “unreliable source” tags for if you or someone else can fix it, but I removed tags from things I fixed, and included my reasoning in the description of the change.

:I've made a few basic tidy ups to the first two sections.

It is quite long tho, so I'll only edit if I see nobody picking it up.

:I've looked at some of the copy here, and tbh the copy itself is pretty tightly written. The issues such as they are seem more to do with (a) concepts that are unfamiliar that need some introduction, or (b) concepts that further explanation. However these are not really copy edit issues. I went through some on the talk page and can try to do some more, but this is more a "peer review" style of feedback than a copy edit. I note there is a peer review taking place, since 23 January 2024. I would personally ask {{ping|Phlsph7}} if this should be paused until the Peer Review is complete, so that the text is stable. As it is pretty tight anyway I think the copyedit will be quite light, except if there are outstanding comprehensibility issues.

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.

*More or less {{done}}. I've corrected grammar and such throughout the article. It remains quite stylistically choppy in places, and I think the whole thing could do with a de-crufting, but I'll leave that for someone else who has the intestinal fortitude (and hopefully a modicum of knowledge about Filipino pop culture, which I lack).

Hi! I'm not a good copyeditor myself, so I'm requesting another article. I fixed a lot, but this needs more fixes. This is pretty lengthy, but this is an interesting article. <code>[[User:TheNuggeteer|🍗TheNugg]][[User talk:TheNuggeteer|eteer🍗]] (''[[User:TheNuggeteer/Guestbook|My '''"blotter"''']]'') </code> 08:47, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
*{{ping|TheNuggeteer}} {{done}}. However, there was one sentence I struggled to untangle, and I think it could use more attention:<br>Under "Rebuilding", there is a sentence that says (after my tweaks) {{xt|"The project required three phases: the planning, which was initiated in December and was finished in January, Implementation, which was deployed shortly after and ended in February, and then the full second phase, with whom a partner deployed another related project, which was deployed in April and ended at the end of the year."}} This is...really unclear. My understanding of it, which may or may not be accurate, is that there were three phases:
:#The planning phase (begun in Dec, ended in Jan)
:#The implementation phase (why is "Implementation" capitalized?) (begun in January and ended in February)
:#The second...phase? But we've already covered two phases, so isn't this the third phase?? Also what partner, and what related project, and why aren't we naming those? And once we sort that out, we really ought to change at least one of those "deployed"s to some other word to avoid repetition.
:If you can give me some clarity on that sentence, I'm happy to go back in and rework it accordingly. [[User:Fluffernutter|Fluffernutter]] ([[User talk:Fluffernutter|talk]]) 16:48, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
::Sorry for taking long, I was busy updating things. For 1st, nothing's wrong with it, right? For the 2nd, uncapitalize Implementation. For the 3rd, the source states that it's named the "second phase" even though it's supposed to be the third. I found that the partner was [[CBO]], which I don't know. I tried searching, but the only thing that popped up was [[Cotabato Airport]], and I don't think an airport is eligible to be a business partner. For the rest of the changes, sure.
::Thanks for copyediting this article! <code>[[User:TheNuggeteer|🍗TheNugg]][[User talk:TheNuggeteer|eteer🍗]] (''[[User:TheNuggeteer/Guestbook|My '''"blotter"''']]'') </code> 00:01, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

*Mostly {{done}}, but I'd appreciate a '''second review from another copyeditor''', specifically on the matter of number agreement involving the group's name. Something about the way it's sometimes referred to as "they" and sometimes as "it", with corresponding conjugations in other words ("they were" but "it was"), throughout the article is nagging at me, but I can't quite put a finger on how to straighten it out to make things consistent.

==Request for [[Kanifing]] on hold==
I've put the above request '''on hold''' because the requester {{ping|Vigilantcosmicpenguin}} (courtesy ping) indicates the presence of close paraphrasing, which can often mean copyright violations.

I'm happy for this to stay '''on hold''' for a while so this can occur. Cheers, '''[[User talk:Baffle gab1978|<span style="color:#191960">Baffle☿''gab''</span>]]''' 20:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
:Thanks for the note [[User:Baffle gab1978|Baffle☿gab]]. Nothing needs to be revdelled, the issue was close paraphrasing rather than direct copyvio. As this will be copyedited by a third party, I believe I should be able to approve the DYK following that, so I gone ahead and handled the small amounts of close paraphrasing remaining myself.

==Issue with page notice at REQ==
Hi all, I noticed a while back the archiving bot at REQ doesn't archive requests that have an asterisk in them. [[First-world problem]], I know. So I've been removing asterisks from the page. After a chat with {{ping|Dhtwiki}} (courtesy ping) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Dhtwiki&oldid=1262825565#Asterisks_at_the_requests_page here (permalink)], I see the asterisks are added by the [[Template:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests|page notice]], which I don't have permission to edit. TBH, I edit without JavaScript and didn't even know that template was able to do that! There are three solutions I can see:
:a) edit the page notice to remove asterisks and replace them with a colon or double colon;
:b) bother the bot operator to try and stop it from ignoring asterisks; or
:c) continue with regular manual asterisk removal.
I think (a) as the best solution if it can be done; (b) is less good because there may be times when we ''want'' to stop the bot archiving a subsection and it involves poking the bot op; and (c) is a daily chore I won't always be around to do, although it ''will'' help me reach 100,000 edits more quickly!
