User:Tenryuu

Hey there, I'm Tenryuu. I am primarily a copyeditor and am part of the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE) project here on Wikipedia. If you need an article proofread either hit me up on my talk page or send a request over to the Guild. I am also a host over at the Teahouse, so if you have any questions to ask about Wikipedia, experienced editors will answer them for you in a timely manner.

My copyediting process with requests
My process for copyediting articles when requested goes like this:


 * 1) I accept a request, either from the GOCE's requests page or on my talk page.
 * 2) I place a GOCEinuse or In use template on the top before I start editing.
 * 3) I complete a preliminary edit (invisible comments added are for my use;  ) and will ask the requester to reply to any questions I may have on the article's talk page. Please ping me when a reply is given.
 * 4) Once a day has passed I give the article a second copyedit, whether or not my questions have been answered. If the requester has not responded, I will allow an arbitrary amount of time (typically another 18-24 hours) before making any last-minute edits and marking it as complete.
 * 5) A third copy edit is made. If the article meets all parties' satisfaction, I will mark the request as complete.

The process may be shortened if there is a backlog drive or blitz going on. If more-than-anticipated copy editing is required, the process will be lengthened.
