How do you do it so well? Regards from the guild’s newest copy editor. Stay safe and well, --Total Eclipse 2017 (talk) (Origin of the username) 18:42, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Total Eclipse 2017, lots of experience, lots of critical reading, and the open-mindedness to learn about different cultures (I added this last point because it does affect the way people write).

While copyediting is a lot of technical fixes like grammar and spelling, a big part of it is being able to understand what the primary editors are trying to say and the best way to convey it in formal English. There are some times where the English is spelt correctly and grammatically correct, but is used strangely and is unfit for an encyclopedia. When I take a request, I go through a process (you can take a look at said process here) because there's an active editor with whom I can converse with. My general rule is to go through (at least) three revisions:

1. Read the article for the first time and correct any obvious errors; this usually takes the longest. If something is unclear, use invisible comments and remember them for later. When the first revision is done, go to the article's talk page, ping the active editor, and use the invisible comments as questions to ask. I generally like using the ((tq)) template to quote sentences to refer to them.
2. After at least half a day (and hopefully with answers), go back to the article and fix up the problem spots that the questions came from while catching any stray errors. Update the active editor on the questions that have been answered and those that need further clarification.
3. After at least another half day, read any new answers the active editor gave me and incorporate them; they should usually be clear enough such that I don't need to ask for more clarity. Carefully reread the article from top to bottom. If satisfied, let the active editor know their copyedit is complete.

A good example of my process is over at Talk:Via Giulia.

With backlogged articles it's a little different. They are not requested, and because of that, there usually isn't an editor who is particularly keen on striking a dialogue compared to one who requests a copyedit. If they're small enough one short quick revision is usually enough. For a longer article, I generally skip the question phase with these and finish a big first revision, then wait a few hours before returning to it to look at it a second time.

Here are some things that I think make a good copyeditor:

• Know and learn about the subject as much as you can. Even if it is something you have never heard of before (which is usually the case for us copyeditors) do some research on the topic. If you don't know, ask another editor or look up other Wikipedia articles for more information. This also includes the variant of English used in the article.
• Read the article out loud. Sometimes errors aren't apparent until you read them aloud, particularly with pauses like commas, semicolons, and periods.
• Do multiple revisions and space out breaktime in-between. This is probably the most important thing. Just like teachers tell you in school, never assume that you can do the best job that you can on your first draft. With long articles copyediting can be tiring, which causes us to overlook some errors that would have been obvious. I can't count the number of times where I re-checked my work and needed to fix up some errors. Space revisions apart by hours and do something else, so that when you come back you are not fatigued from checking it and subconsciously deeming everything correct.

I hope that helps! —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:44, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! I will use your advice. Stay safe and well, --Total Eclipse 2017 (talk) (Origin of the username) 19:46, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just one question, how do you do invisible comments? Stay safe and well, --Total Eclipse 2017 (talk) (Origin of the username) 19:47, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Total Eclipse 2017, two methods:

• If you are using the VisualEditor: go to the toolbar and click on Insert. The dropdown menu will have an item called "Comment". Click on that to add it to where your cursor is and fill in the text field with the comment you want to leave.
• If you are manually typing it in (this also works in VisualEditor): enclose your comment with <!-- and -->.

Look for my invisible comment somewhere in this reply. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:54, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Found it. Thanks again! Also, I only use the Visual editor for things I can’t figure out in the source editor BTW. Stay safe and well, --Total Eclipse 2017 (talk) (Origin of the username) 19:56, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, I think the definition of “long article” is somewhere around 1K words. What do you think? (I usually only do one copyedit on say, a 100 word article because you can see the whole thing at a glance...) Stay safe and well, --Total Eclipse 2017 (talk) (Origin of the username) 23:45, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Total Eclipse 2017, it's really arbitrary. Length is a big factor, but how much reworking needs to be done is also important. Too many things to fix gets really tiresome while too few things means you're less likely to have a critical eye to evaluate the article as you're lulled into a false sense of security. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 01:26, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Tenryuu,

Thanks for your reply at the ANI thread. The thread was closed within 15' after that, so the issue is now moot, but I still wanted to let you know I appreciated both your reply to me, as well as your involvement generally. Has anyone nominated you as an admin, and would you like to be? I know for a fact that they need good candidates, and I think you could be a valuable addition to the corps. Mathglot (talk) 00:01, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mathglot. I'm flattered, but I don't think I'm quite admin material yet (as you could see with some of the policy misinterpretation). I generally hang around in the realm of copyediting (though I prod WP spaces occasionally), but who knows what the future brings? Again, thanks so much for your kind words. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 11:59, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I thank you for attempting to explain that my two comments refer to behavior on two different talk pages. I do not posses the never ending patients of Robert. I wish I did- but the ridiculousness of the past week has been unbelievable. My first ani case against me. Nearly ten years of editing, one year as a drn volunteer and this one is the one that I’ll remember. Unbelievable. But.... for now at least, it’s over. Thanks for the support. Nightenbelle (talk) 02:07, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

sorry one talk page and one ani board. To clarify in case someone comes back to quote this later. Nightenbelle (talk) 02:08, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nightenbelle:, I totally know what you mean. I feel like we need to print up "I was there" or, "I survived the ANI thread from Hell" T-shirts, or something. Drop by my Talk page, anytime you want to rant, let off steam, or klatsch. Tenryuu's invited; we'll make it a three-some. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 07:02, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

thank you! Lol always good to have some place to vent!! Nightenbelle (talk) 11:56, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nightenbelle: You are most welcome. I was surprised to see it went as far as an EW claim levied against you, but thankfully everything seems resolved.

Haha, Mathglot, I might take you up on that offer sometime! Also, thanks for demonstrating the use of that divbox on the talk page. I might never use it, but it looks like it could come in handy. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 12:07, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nightenbelle, Mathglot, and Tenryuu: I know the situation you all encountered at the ANI, recently, was emotionally and mentally draining but I thought you all handled it well, considering what you faced. I just stopped by to encourage you and compliment you on trying to resolve it and maintaining civility. Others do notice your contributions. :) --Tsistunagiska (talk) 15:50, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I apologise for reverting your edit to Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in July 2021. For the timeline articles, I'm not aware of Wikipedia policy is to only publish national cases, recoveries and deaths related to COVID-19 or whether we can also list subnational units like states and provinces. If so, I am willing to accept correction. Perhaps, we could discuss this on Talk:Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in July 2021 or Wikipedia talk: WikiProject COVID-19. Look forward to getting back in touch with you. Kind regards. Andykatib 03:57, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Andykatib. As far as I'm aware, it's far better to post it on the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, as it's specifically for the Canadian province in question, and it would not start a precedent of adding any country's subdivision in a page with a wider scope like Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in July 2021. I'd redirect the user that added that to the Ontario page. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:03, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tenryuu, thanks very much for the clarification. If we have articles for the subnational divisions, it will make sense for these Ontario and Quebec reports to go there. Will be good to let User:S201050066 know since they have been posting the Ontario and Quebec reports daily. That user has been posting raw links instead of the proper references. Have reached out to them to advise them of Wikipedia policy but have received no response. Someone suggested user might be making mobile edits. PaleoNeonate has reached out to them as well. Hopefully they will get the message. Andykatib 04:09, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Andykatib: Good to hear. That being said, Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Canada/Ontario medical cases chart is maintained daily from one official provincial source, so there's really no need for new news articles to be used as citations, or for daily reports to be mentioned in the prose; many subdivision pages don't bother doing it anymore due to cases being commonplace. Unless it's something notable, like an extreme outbreak at a hospital or provincial guidelines being revised, they're not mentioned. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:20, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, I have messaged User:S201050066, advising them that that it will be a good idea to place the Ontario and Quebec references in the provincial timeline pages for Ontario and Quebec respectively. I could go after the raw links and format them. Once they are ready, I could transfer them in batches to those provincial articles. Will offcourse have to indicate I copied them on the edit summary. You're welcome to help if you are interested. Plan to do it throughout the year in my free time. Andykatib 02:00, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@LSGH: Not off the top of my head, no. I myself have become very inactive with pages related to COVID-19 save for one. You could try asking at WT:COVID-19 to see if there are any volunteers. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 15:36, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll give it a try. Hopefully, it catches the attention of some interested editors. It's already becoming more difficult to update the template because there are only a handful of people left who still go there regularly. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 15:46, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like help is not coming. Editor interest in the topic area has been decreasing and more pages in the topic area are becoming outdated. I'll try to look for other ways to solve this. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 15:13, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the user, CharlieFinney's edit this, considered to be directed towards a particular religion with baseless claims. The user have proven to be editing tendentiously on Hinduism related articles and literally all of his "vandalism" edits are being reverted. So, I request the revert of this edit from Adam's_Bridge page. I also request the removal of all occurrences of "mythological" and "myth" from the page, since those claims are also baseless, considering historic and archaeological evidences. —WikiLinuz (talk) 06:26, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Guild of Copy Editors September 2021 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021.                  Current and upcoming events September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 15 to 21 August, we copy edited articles tagged in April and May 2021 and requests. 9 participating editors completed 17 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added ((cleanup tense)) to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Hey, can you take another look at Frozen II; large chunks of information have been added and now it requires a throughout copyedit. Thanks. Wingwatchers (talk) 14:32, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Wingwatchers. I see you've already posted it at WP:GOCER. I have been neglecting the request backlog for a while, so I'm filling it out on the other end. One of us copyeditors should get to your request soon. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:28, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have completed your copyedit, can you take my request on the GOCE request page now, please? :) Wingwatchers (talk) 05:14, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do you believe you could copyedit my page for Draft: NFL Top 100 Players of 2021, please? I've been trying for about two months to get this page accepted, and I keep getting the message that there's something wrong with my article every time I go to submit. I've done everything I could think of to make this a legitimate Wikipedia page, and I don't know of anything else I could do to improve my chances for having it accepted. Thank you very much.

@MichaelEhlenbeck: A copyedit isn't what your draft needs. The common issue is that reviewers aren't seeing how the references demonstrate that the subject is notable as Wikipedia defines the term. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 15:01, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How do I go about making that happen? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelEhlenbeck (talk • contribs) 11:22, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MichaelEhlenbeck: I'm not a reviewer so I can't give you a definite answer. You should either ask the declining reviewer, or find better reliable sources that are independent from the subject and cover it in detail. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 16:03, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should not delete it, better we should give the person time to add more references. What you say? २ तकर पेप्सी (talk) 20:25, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@२ तकर पेप्सी: I've already removed my CSD template, as it is not applicable in draftspace. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 20:47, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
