The League of Copyeditors is a project that aims to improve the style and formatting of Wikipedia articles, including their grammar, punctuation, wiki links, paragraph structure, diction, tone, and flow. League members work on two main projects, as well as offer advice and contribute to articles across Wikipedia:


[edit] Tasks

  1. Satisfy requests for copy-editing specific articles. If the article is long or difficult, you can list it for more proofreading under the appropriate section.
  2. Copy-edit any of Wikipedia's articles that need copy-edit.
  3. Recruit new members.
  4. If you have knowledge of some topics, list them on your user page under the heading "areas of interest/expertise". League members who need help editing an article on one of those topics may ask you for help.

[edit] Requesting a copyedit

If you want us to copy-edit a specific article, please follow the instructions at our Requests page. However, articles which do not meet our criteria will not be copyedited. In brief, the criteria are as follows:

  1. The article must be written in English.
  2. The article must comply with the major stylistic requirements of the manual of style and the stylistic requirements of appropriate WikiProjects.
  3. The article must be free from major content issues.
  4. The article must be stable.

Full details of the criteria can be found on the /Criteria subpage.
