League of Copyeditors

Greetings, and welcome to the League of Copyeditors. I have been reading over some of your past edits and see that you have been helping us on the much hated Bakersfield, California article. I like what I've read so far and anticipate seeing more great things from you.

I encourage you to participate in the project's discussion page. Any questions you have about copyediting, the LoC, or just Wiki in general, I will be happy to answer; just leave a message for me on my talk page. Trusilver 04:27, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

League of Copyeditors participation drive!

Dear League member,

We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you can, please help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:

• Select an article to copy-edit from the backlog. After your copy-edit, list the article in the articles ready for final proofread section.
• Select a different article to proofread from the articles ready for final proofread section.

Thanks for your help! BuddingJournalist 08:39, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Could you please help me proofread and edit LaVeyan Satanism

I already have someone doing it, but I need an outside observer; who can get and give a fresh perspective. Your help is much needed thanks. Lighthead 21:43, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

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.
