I need help to get rid of grammar lapses I need it to be copyedited due to close paraphrasing and disorganized structure. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 11:10, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

:Hi {{ping|Boneless Pizza!}}, why is this article back here so soon? I see in our archive, Dhtwiki copy-edited this article (Chris Redfield) in December (last month). Are these Redfield articles on some kind of merry-go-round? Baffle☿gab 05:21, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

::I apologize with that. I made a couple of edits that's why I thought that it might need again. I think the article is fine now after going through the article again. I would like withdraw this request. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 05:26, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

:::No problem; you can replace it with another article if you wish. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 05:55, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Due to the project's need to have all Final Fantasy VIII characters GA for the GA topic I had to merge the new article Laguna Loire. As a result, I had to request to copyedit but in its draft. I hope you guys don't mind.Tintor2 (talk) 21:00, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

:We don't do drafts. It has to be in mainspace for us to accept it. Otherwise, we will decline. Mox Eden (talk) 11:53, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::According to our instructions, draft requests {{em|may}} be declined; AFAIK, it's not a hard-and-fast rule. All the best, Miniapolis 17:31, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

(FAC) is likely to fail one of issues noted is that the article assumes you have background knowledge of the series. So I would hope that that is clarified Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 18:22, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

:Hi {{ping|OlifanofmrTennant}}, this article was copy-edited on 28 December 2024, just a month ago. Is there a reason it should come back here so soon? Article development is not copy-editing. Baffle☿gab 22:47, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

::The FAC noted prose issues with the page and that it was unclearly worded for those unfamilaure with the series Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 22:50, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

:::For context, here is the FAC review. Copy-editors shouldn't feel obliged to add content to the article. Baffle☿gab 03:00, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

::::the point of feedback is "In general, I don't think we've yet managed to ensure that a reader unfamiliar with the source material will fully understand the article and the points being made." from UndercoverClassist. Though if you feel its too early then I will withdraw Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:02, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Just noticed my request for a copyedit is in the May 2025 section. Doesn't look like a June section has been made yet. GamerPro64 02:02, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

:Thank you. I have just created a separate section for June 2025. Dhtwiki (talk) 06:25, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

I need help with a single problematic sentence: "Marion earned her own living from the age of seventeen, and she never married" I've tried to come up with a better way of stating those two thoughts (they are usually presented jointly in the sources) but I come up empty. I'm planning on taking this article to FA someday, so if you see any other issues, that would be appreciated. I'm happy to implement any changes, if you simply want to make suggestions. Noleander (talk) 15:41, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

• Hi {{u|Noleander}}, can you say a little more about what you think the issue with that sentence is? It's a little bit comma splice-y, but not so much so that it triggers my inner copyeditor, since the two thoughts are connected. So if you can be a little more specific about what part of it is rubbing you the wrong way, we may be able to offer more help then. Fluffernutter (talk) 12:49, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
• :Thanks for the offer. Sorry, I for forgot to remove this... I no longer need assistance. Thanks again! {{resolved}} Noleander (talk) 13:04, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
