The Logistics Department is a clearing house, where editor skills can be matched to article needs. The aim is to make the path to Featured article easier by listing the specialist resources editors may need to call on to improve their articles.
Copy-editing
- Requests can also be addressed to The League of Copyeditors
All articles can be improved by copy-editing in one form or another. An uninvolved editor looking at text with fresh eyes will see things that need fixing which the familiar editor won’t. Different articles benefit from different levels of copy-editing. Before requesting a copy-edit, decide which of the following is most appropriate.
- Copy-edit lite: basic proof-reading, spellchecking, punctuation.
- English variant conversion: for example, from American English to Commonwealth English, or vice versa.
- Naturalising: copy-edit for editors whose English is fluent but not perfect.
- FAC technical copy-edit: MoS-compliance for dashes, hard spaces, numbers, measurement conversion.
- FAC prose copy-edit: flow, structure, elegance.
Instructions:
- To sign up as a copy-editor, just add your name to the “”Milhist copy-editors”” list. Please provide an indication of the level of copy-editing you provide.
- To request a copy-edit, either contact one of the copy-editors direct on their talk page or list your request in the "Articles for copy-editing" section below.
