Copyediting: I pay particular attention to the lead and ce as I think necessary; I also check to ensure every paragraph at least ends in a citation (and all tables or other summaries are cited unless its evident the info is cited in the main body); finally I spotcheck the whole article looking for redundancies and words to watch (you've probably been on the receiving end of these, not everyone agrees with them but they have their reasons -- a useful guide is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tony1/Redundancy_exercises:_removing_fluff_from_your_writing).

Lastly, if you see people talking about supports (or opposes) as 'votes' you can gently remind them that's not how it works -- yes there's an unwritten rule about three supports minimum but they need to be pretty comprehensive. Any drive-by supports or opposes are worth little if anything. And just as an article can be promoted with outstanding opposition if the nominator has made reasonable efforts to action them, so can a nom with several supports be derailed by a single well-reasoned, actionable oppose that hasn't been effectively dealt with.
