Copy-editing progress
Wikipedia articles needing copy edit
|
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
