[edit] Templates

Insert the following template {{copyedit}} to mark articles with this message:

This article may require copy-editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone or spelling. You can assist by editing it now.

Articles will then automatically be listed in Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit.

If the page just needs to be wikified or has more serious problems, see Wikipedia:Cleanup resources for other tags which may be more appropriate. There you will also find categorised articles that need fixing or improvement.

[edit] Goals

1. To clarify sentences that are unclear
2. To correct grammar so that articles are more readable
3. To be the grammar police
4. To be a place to ask for help with grammar
5. To clean up articles by non-native English speakers
6. Not to argue about styles of grammar or correct spelling

[edit] General discussion forums

• Discuss this project or ask a grammar question here

• A new Language desk has been opened for questions and answers about English grammar and usage. It is a subpage of the Wikipedia:Reference desk and supplements the Wikipedia:Help desk, that already exist.
