User:Well-rested/Wikiproject Articles Needing Copy Edit/Left panel

Goals and scope
We aim to improve the articles in the English Wikipedia by dealing with all the articles tagged for copy editing, and by maintaining the category of articles needing copy edit.

The scope of this WikiProject is confined to articles tagged ; this project will not cover requests for review because that is already handled by the nice guys (and gals) over at Peer Review. This relatively narrow scope will allow Wikipedians and various animals of all types, shapes and sizes to participate, because participants will be able to help at their own pace and time. *smiles*

How to copy edit
Copy editing is to make formatting changes and improvements to an article to make it clear, correct, concise, comprehensible, and consistent, that is: make it say what it means, and mean what it says. In Wikipedia, this is done via the Manual of Style.

Useful tags
While we try as far as possible to copy edit articles, some articles cannot be improved by us. For example, they may be far too confusing or in need of expert attention. We are then forced to use various tags to get help for the article. Some useful tags:

~ ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

See WP:TC for a full list of cleanup template messages.
