Copyediting
I don't know what rules you're using to copyedit articles today, but they're really not very good. Removing mid-sentence "and" to make two separate sentences can be a good thing, but generally isn't. Removing mid-sentence "but" to make two separate sentences and starting the second with "Still, " is almost never a good thing. Changing passive to active voice is often an improvement, but it isn't something that can be done by rote. And there's still the issue with not being familiar enough with British English to tell when you're using it and whether "a" and "the" are required or not. If you're training an AI machine, I wish you'd do it somewhere else. Struway2 (talk) 11:25, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
