Hello Ejcallen, I am excited that you have joined the GOCE! I would enjoy being you mentor, showing you the ropes here on Wikipedia, and showing you the basics of copy editing. You've picked a good time to join the GOCE, as we are in the middle of a copy edit drive. The drive is a group effort by the GOCE to reduce the backlog of articles, and we try to make it fun by giving some awards to editors. This link will direct you to instructions on how to join the drive and what to do. Of course, it is not necessary to join the drive if you just want to copy edit articles.

Copy editing involves mostly reading through an article carefully and checking to make sure that everything is correct and fully presentable as you would expect an encyclopedic article to be. It is important to check for correctness in grammar, spelling, and punctuation; additionally, a very thorough copy edit might also look at sentence and paragraph formation. This might involve reducing overly worded sentences, reorganizing sentences in a paragraph in a more logical order, or breaking up a large paragraph into smaller parts to make it easier to understand. Every article has different needs. If you have any questions about specifics, such as how to properly use hyphens and dashes, or how to use proper quotes, the Manual of Style (MoS) is a great resource.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. (I'm sorry for the delay in responding to your message. Now that I have a mentee, I'll be sure to check in more often). Happy editing! --Tea with toast _(talk) 22:03, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I am Jivesh. I edit strictly Beyonce-related articles on Wikipedia. I was wondering if you could do a copy-edit of Baby Boy (Beyoncé Knowles song) for me? Please reply on my talk-page. Waiting in anticipation. Jivesh • Talk2Me 10:30, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

The article :Oklahoma Policy Institute has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

There really is no indication that this think tank is notable.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
