Wikipedia:Meetup/Editathon on Articles needing copy editing, Wikimedia Fan Club University of Ilorin

Event status: ✅

Discovering that pages need basic copyediting, i.e. correcting for grammar, spelling, readability, or layout, may surprise new visitors to Wikipedia, but this is the "encyclopedia that anyone can edit". Thousands of articles need simple improvements that you can make without being an expert in the subject. Copyediting involves the "five Cs": making the article clear, correct, concise, comprehensible, and consistent.

At this event, we will be enriching our experience and skills as Wikipedians as we help improve Wikipedia articles by fixing typos, grammars and more.
