[edit] A little help? Premio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes

The national prizes of Mexico seem to be worthwhile so I've started with literature. I'd appreciate help with a neat translation of "los campos ...

  • Lingüística y Literatura;
  • Bellas Artes;
  • Historia, Ciencias Sociales y Filosofía;
  • Ciencias Físico-Matemáticas y Naturales;
  • Tecnología y Diseño;
  • Artes y Tradiciones Populares."

Given the numbers involved they might become category names too.

The formal paperwork is here[1] I felt it sounded odd in English to have "Linguistics and Literature" and I found myself writing that as Language and Literature. Please settle it for my split mind!. --VSerrata 08:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sale, Greater Manchester FAC

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but as a LoCE member, I just wondered if you would be willing to have a look through the Sale, Greater Manchester article. It is currently a Featured Article Candidate and needs a copy-edit for grammar by someone who hasn't yet seen it. Any other ways to improve the article would also be welcome. Thank you very much, if you can. Epbr123 13:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] League of Copyeditors roll call

Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there.
The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors.
