Wikipedia articles needing copy edit 2,261 |
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.
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 ~~~~}}
.
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.
