WikiProject Report: League of Copyeditors

WikiProject League of Copyeditors is a WikiProject that is dedicated to copy-editing articles on Wikipedia, or correcting grammatical, spelling, or stylistic errors within them. It was started on 22 November 2006 by Trusilver (talk · contribs), and originally had ten members. Currently, it has grown in popularity, and, having 228 active members and 71 inactive members, it is one of Wikipedia's largest maintenance projects.

Copy-editing progress

The WikiProject has made a very good deal of progress in copy-editing, as evidenced by the time line on its main page, completing hundreds of articles, but as over 2,000 still remain, they will require a good deal of help to completely clear out the backlog.

Requests for copy-editing

Award

If an editor consistently impresses with excellent copy-editing, the project has its own barnstar that you can award that user. Its syntax is {{subst:The Copyeditor's Barnstar|message ~~~~}}.

How to help

To help the project, you can add your name to its members list and join. Also, articles that need work can be found at Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit, Wikipedia:Pages needing attention, and Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors/proofreading.
