Here is my usual procedure at WP:FAC:


 * 1) I read through the article, or at least sample sections, and often copy-edit once I see problems I can fix fairly easily.
 * 2) Where there are problems that would take longer to fix, or where the fix is not obvious, but which seem to me relatively uncontroversial, I may leave inline comments.
 * 3) I am usually most concerned with a) prose (criterion 1a of WP:WIAFA) and b) referencing (criterion 1c)
 * 4) Based on my sampling of the article, I will oppose or support the article.
 * 5) My opposition or support is based on how much I see needs to be done as I copy-edit.  Again, if I see problems that clearly need fixing, I will usually fix them myself rather than type them out at FAC.  But these are usually sample problems.
 * 6) If you want to know what more needs to be done, look at the copy-editing I have done, which is usually fairly basic and involves improving grammar and flow, making passive verbs active, removing redundancy and repetition, and so on.
 * 7) Every nominator should seriously study Tony's article on how to satisfy criterion 1a.
 * 8) I am prepared to devote time to help with articles at FAC, but do not appreciate being badgered about my comments.

If the above seems problematic to you, then so be it.
