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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Thanks! BuddingJournalist 03:55, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
'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)[reply]
This one was tagged for c/e anyway, so I completed it. Galena11 17:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-- it is a short article but a couple of sentences are confusing and would need a helping hand. I'm not that skilled in copyediting English myself, and am hoping someone here would be sufficiently interested in the subject. / Fred-J 21:12, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The intention is to nominate this article for GAC and afterward for FAC. However, before doing this, some copy-editing should be done. Particulaerly the following things need attention:
Copyedit done....though it's a technical subject, i did the best i could....ready for proofread Gprince007 15:39, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article is currently FAC. Article has since made it into FA. A copy edit would still be appreciated. Free smyrnan 21:14, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Article moved to this section as it is no longer an FAC. Epbr123 16:37, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many MOS suggestions have been brought up and addressed. An editor recently brought up that the article is a poor read: choppy, several vague statements, etc. Would love having several people taking a look to make this article a more engaging read. Thanks a bunch! Kmsiever 03:02, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-- 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)[reply]
Ready for proof. There is an issue with one paragraph, as noted on the talk page. Otherwise, should be a fairly straightforward proof. Galena11 23:04, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
I tried to deal with the problem of "facts strung together" by dividing the history section into two paragraphs. – Ilse@ 15:28, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Currently trying to bring this up to GA status, reads ok to me but i need a unbiased editor just to read through, make sure it flows ok, and has no major problems. Thanks Jac16888 09:39, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is in FAR currently and just got moved down to FARC citing prose and MoS issues. I've done some cleaning up myself, but it needs some expert attention quickly. Thanks. Lotlil 13:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm working on it now. Should be done in another day or two. Finetooth 04:31, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
All done. I focused on MOS issues and prose tightening in hopes of helping Chennai keep its gold star. The proofreader might want to check the discussion page and Wikipedia:Featured article review/Chennai to see what other writers and editors have been saying.

Too late for timely proof, but this article achieved FA. Archiving from backlog as acted upon. SlackerMom (talk) 03:03, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This article is currently in FA candidature page. The last of remaining major objections seems to be copy-editing. Although it hasn't received criticism for particularly bad prose, copy-editing would be appreciated to bring the level up to standards and remove repetition between some sections.

FAC that has prose issues. Editors involved are working hard to address MoS issues, so prose will soon be the only issue that remains. Quadzilla99 18:55, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
All structural issues have been addressed; copyedit would help. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As above, only pressing issue left is copyediting. Thank you! Chensiyuan 10:51, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure this was ready for a proofread in July, but now it needs a new copyedit. There have been too many changes and it's rather disorganized. I'm leaving it here for now, because I'm not sure where else to put it. SlackerMom (talk) 17:52, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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 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. Thanks! Dr. Cash 06:20, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ready for proof. I noted issues in hidden comments within the text, labeled COPYEDITOR'S NOTES. Galena11 20:00, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
