Copy editing
Thanks for your interest in copy editing! I noticed that your account is relatively new and thought I would direct you to WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/How to which has a directory of useful help documents for copy editing. You might want to familiarize yourself with these to get a sense of Wikipedia's style and what is expected in copy editing here. I'd also suggest that you might want to start by copy editing articles from the copy-editing backlog, as the articles listed on the Requests page have expectations of being more thorough. (The backlog are often start-class articles while the Requests are often aiming to be good or featured articles.)

If copy editing might be a bit too much for you right now, there are lots of other ways you can help. See the links under Things to do, above.

Please reply here with if you have any questions. Thanks! – Reidgreg (talk) 12:42, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Reidgreg, I really appreciate and I'm looking forward to editing more articles that needs copy editing. Sheys 15:45, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, you changed your username from . I was a little confused.  Let me know if you want me to change the name of your section in the September drive.  BTW, if you copy  and then paste it in the edit window when you reply, Wikipedia will give me a notification to alert me of your message. – Reidgreg (talk) 19:33, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes I changed my username and I will like it if you would change my username in the September drive. I'm kind of confused about the drive in my profile there. Please do I need to input my progress about it myself? Thanks – Sheys Ditty (talk) 15:34, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, you have to manually update your progress for the drive. This time I did it for you, adding the word count from before you started editing the article and a *O as it was tagged in February 2018, one of the target months for the drive. I also changed the section header. Happy editing! – Reidgreg (talk) 19:50, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks you so much Sheys Ditty (talk) 19:27, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

MAX Blue Line
Hi Sheys Ditty, Last month you volunteered to do a copy edit of MAX Blue Line from the GOCE Requests page. Generally, we like to have these reviews done within a week of when the editor starts working on it. Will you be able to finish your work on the article soon? If not, please let us know so that another editor can take the assignment. Regards, Tdslk (talk) 22:13, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Tdslk, I forgot the article. I will work on the article soon Sheys Ditty (talk) 21:33, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi, my name was struck out of the article, so I'm not editing the article anymore. I have removed it totally. Thanks to the other editor on it Sheys Ditty (talk) 22:00, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello, just a couple of comments on the above article. First, please don't put your signature on articles. Second, although you removed some promotional content, you left a lot behind, the page was still blatantly biased. Sometimes it's better just to remove it all, as I have done-- Jac 16888 Talk 17:28, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the changes, It's my first time as a member of guild of copy editors, it was a mistake that I did not remove the signature on the article. Thanks for helping me, I will try to do well next time. Sheys Ditty (talk) 21:40, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

More copy edit feedback
Some notes on your recent copy edits, mostly about writing plots: Mostly about plots, which is an exception to the way we normally write on Wikipedia. There's a lot to learn about Wikipedia, but you're doing well, and even small improvements are still improvements. I'd encourage you to continue working on Start and Stub class articles, if you have time. Please let me know if you have any questions. – Reidgreg (talk) 20:03, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * When using commas to brace a parenthetic term or statement, be sure to put commas on either side. e.g.:  Jackson State University, Mississippi, in the United States
 * We generally hyphenate compound modifiers: martial art film &rarr; martial-arts film.
 * The plot summary should generally be about 700 words for a film, I think 500 for a TV season or episode (stand-alone article), and 200 for a TV episode in a table (i.e.: an episode list). If it goes into too much detail it can be considered a derivative work.  There should be just enough plot to understand the rest of the article.  (I roughly halved the plot of The Golden Cane Warrior by using more concise language, grouping like thoughts together and cutting some trivial details.)
 * Although Wikipedia generally writes in the past tense, plot summaries are written in the present tense. This gives a better feel for the narrative of the story as it unfolds to the reader.  (Exceptions would be for filmed or televised events which actually happened like documentary movies, sporting events, interviews, or reality TV shows which would get past tense.)  The production section which followed needed past tense.  Basically, things that happened in reality get past tense, but fictional events that happened outside of reality get present tense.
 * In the plot summaries, we don't give the actor's name in parenthesis after the role. This information goes in the Cast list, and it's felt redundant to have it in the plot summary as well.
 * When linking to another language Wikipedia, it is preferred to use the template or .  This gives a redlink for anyone interested in writing an article on the English Wikipedia, and a small link to the non-English Wikipedia.  (This is "extra work", by the way, and don't feel you have to do it as part of a copy edit.)

Thank you so much. I will continue to learn more to improve Sheys Ditty (talk) 23:57, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
