  • {{las|Mahmud II}} Copy edited for grammar, a clearer tone, and tighter language. I removed the copy editing template, but it might use some more changes with someone more familiar with writing in the encyclopedic tone. Needs proofreading either way.--Zdilli 23:27, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

  • {{las|Science and technology in Iran}}
  • I have built up this article from scratch over the last two years. It is now very comprehensive. However it needs copyediting for neutrality, style and also grammar. Any helps will be very much appreciated. Thanks. Sangak 16:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Started c/e, but need clarification about the use of Persia/n vs. Iran/ian before continuing(see article talk page). Galena11 19:32, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • May still need work. --Sigma 7 01:11, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I copy-edited up to the break for the graphic, and left some comments on the talk page. Especially needs more references for many statements, but this can become a very fine article. Good luck! Unimaginative Username 06:59, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • I don't like the intro sentence, but can't think of a replacement. It may have to do with the naming convention. The rest of the article is getting better, though. --Sigma 7 03:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
  • I made many minor changes from top to bottom and posted suggestions about expanding the lead and converting the embedded external web links to in-line citations. Another eye would help. Finetooth 06:02, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

:Up to Shadow of Bazhenov. "Neoclassical architect" sounds better to my ears than "Neoclassicist architect". Is this correct?BuddingJournalist 08:38, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

::According to Merriam-Webster, neoclassical is only an adjective, while neoclassicist is a noun AND an adjective. So, either is correct in the example above, but only "the architect was a neoclassicist" would be correct. Galena11 22:08, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

:::Thanks! BuddingJournalist 03:55, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

::::'neoclassical' refers to 18th century French architects like Soufflot and theorists like Laugier and Perrault as well as other architects influenced by them (i.e. Schinkel in Germany).--Agnaramasi 20:49, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

  • {{las|Parapsychology}}

: -- This article might still need a few copyeditors to go over it and make a few corrections. It's a Good article and is going to be a FA soon however before nominating it again I want to make sure all copy-editing problems have been taken care of. It should be incredibly easy to skim over and fix any minor mistakes. Thanks. Wikidudeman (talk) 12:35, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

  • {{las|Golden Film}} [Added: 09:45, 7 October 2007 (UTC)]

:User:Karanacs commented to the FA candidacy of Golden Film: "Much of the article needs copyediting. Some sentences are short and others are overly long or clunky. Not all paragraphs flow well; some seem like they are just a collection of facts strung together." I haven't traced these problems myself, so I would like to ask the League of Copyeditors to look into the matter. – Ilse@ 09:45, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

:Article recently promoted to GA status on 4/20/2007, but failed subsequent FAC nomination in early May. About a year ago, this article was the subject of an infamous [http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/04/28/1331232 Wiki-War], but this has largely stabilized, and the NPOV issues resolved. A look at the FAC comments would suggest that a good, thorough copyedit would help this article achieve FA status, so I would like to solicit the assistance of some experienced copyeditors who are very familiar with the manual of style.
