Welcome[edit]

Hello Smattek, welcome to Wikipedia. Maybe you'll like it here… I noticed you're great at copyediting, so I was wondering if you could help me a TINY bit,,,, by taking a look a the Eazy-E article. I'm planning on nominating it for Featured article status, and that's pretty big here, and requires the article to be nearly perfect (see the Featured article criteria here.) Anyways, there's some cookies that I gave you. IF you don't want to copyedit the page, it's all good. So below are a few links that you might wanna check out to master your copyediting skills on Wiki. CrowzRSA 00:25, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Smattek, I am writing regarding the recent submission of the article on the European Southern Observatory (ESO) for peer review. I have noticed you are an experienced copyeditor so I was wondering if you would be able to give a read through the article and let me know what should be improved for it to meet FA criteria. Thanks in advance for your help, Barbara Ferreira (on behalf of Lars Lindberg Christensen, director of ESO's education and public outreach department.)

Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors

The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their September 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy editing backlog. The drive will begin on September 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on September 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles in the backlog, as we want to copy edit as many of those as possible. Please consider copy editing an article that was tagged in 2010. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". See you at the drive! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters.

Help needed: Jayne Mansfield[edit]

A mid-importance article supported by WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers that was reviewed by Version 1.0 Editorial Team and selected for Version 0.7 and subsequent release versions. The article has come a long way from a fan boy mish mash to a fair enough GA. Now is the time to take it to the next level. Currently it's going through another peer review. Serious help is needed to clean up the copy. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 06:16, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please comment at Ya Kun Kaya Toast's ongoing peer review![edit]

Since you have listed yourself as a peer review volunteer interested in copyediting articles, would you like to support the quest to counter systemic bias on Wikipedia by giving a thorough review of the short, but interesting, article about Ya Kun Kaya Toast, a multinational kaya toast chain and Singaporean cultural icon? Thanks! 谢谢！Terima kasih! நன்றி! --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 10:04, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
