Can you help?
I see you were listed as a participant in the League of Copy-Editors so it seems likely you can ... The thing is the Military history wikiproject urgently needs prose pros to help with our best articles. Milhist covers a broad range of interesting and varied subjects from film to biography, battles to weaponry, and Roman emperors to twentieth-century dictators. In Milhist, A-Class has become the last port of call before FAC and we are looking for people to help identify prose and MoS issues at A-Class A-Class Reviews and help fix them prior to featured article candidacy. We also have a copy-editing section in our Logistics Dept and that can always use experienced copy-editors. For most of our articles, you don't need to be a specialist in the subject matter, just good with words.

If you think you can help, please do! Thanks for your time, -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 04:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Reply to your question
Hello, thank you very much for your post on my Talk Page. Appreciate it. In response to your question, what I meant is that full lyrics of a song is not what you would find in an encyclopedia. Only a small excerpt of lyrics can be used in an article, but only "for the purpose of direct commentary or to illustrate some aspect of the style." That's also why you don't see full lyrics in other song articles. It's a Wikipedia content policy.
