Yeah, the quote doesn't exactly fit here, but I love it so much I wanted to share it. ;^) The more serious answer is that I believe copy editing will help me write better. 28154:

Female Chinese teenager born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Naturally, I'm fluent in both languages. I try to help out Knowledge and revise/rewrite whenever possible, however I mostly find myself coming back to articles on Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese celebrities because I find that those

25098:

I was previously a member of the League of Copyeditors. Primary interests are in orders, decorations and medals, and in military history. Happy to help in other areas if requested or if I happen to wander by and see a need. I am currently active in authoring and categorizing, so my contributions here

26170:

Although I am young and I focus more in animal biology, I am indeed an excellent writer and I'm willing to do hard research on a topic. I do tend to have a good sense of humor and am easygoing, therefore finding an internet representation of myself using Caboose from the Red Vs. Blue Youtube series.

24287:

See the userboxen on my page for my particular interests, but I'm up for editing pretty well any article. Professional compositor & graphic-arts technician—can create or improve images as well as text. Fairly opinionated on grammar & punctuation but will adapt to any consistent style. Strong

17178:

Editing, proofreading, re-writing for clarity, and updating content. I'm a research linguist by profession and avocation, and a very fast, fluent, and rather compulsive reader with an abnormally good sense of spelling and syntax. I tend to get drawn into doing cleanup even on articles I've hit on at

24072:

Knowledge, itself; interested in all sorts of viewpoints, human and not. For instance I know a lot more about Brazil, Australia, The Seychelles, distant galaxies.. . and a lot of other places than I did 5 years ago. Fusions of the literary and mythological and the present, political. Read Spanish,

27127:

I mostly edit articles as I read them, but if you leave a request on my user page, I will edit your article. Text leaving my workshop is concise, clear and easy to read. Every word matters, as do flow, tone, links and formatting. I prefer articles about science, philosophy, history or social

16862:

Grammar, punctuation, editing, proofreading, re-writing and updating content, familiar with APA/MLA Styles. Over 30 years experience as a technical writer/editor, Internet researcher, and business planning/development consultant. Areas of expertise include business documentation (policies,

28723:

Making this into a popular project that doesn't scare off anyone (like LOCE did) and therefore gets a lot of help from huge numbers :-) of "normal" users that consequently learn to follow usage in reliable sources and eventually get the entire community to respect this much more than now.

16223:

which have quite good content but, due to being written by non-fluent or non-native speakers of english (though I and everyone still really, really appreciate there work), have a number of grammatical errors and which need improvement in their writing quality. Hope I'd be able to help

15080:

I'm a typo killer. I see no excuse for not making things look as professional as is appropriate...and for web sites like this, that means as close to zero errors as is humanly achievable. I am willing to proofread and copyedit anything written in English, regardless of topic.

28778:

I will look at pretty much anything to copy-edit. However, my particular interests are history, religion, science, Star Trek, and Lord of the Rings. Yes, I am a geek... I normally spend a few days on a copy-edit since I have a crazy schedule, so please be patient with me!

19291:

Anything with a plot summary is my thing, especially character articles. Novels, movies, episodes, anime and manga are cool too. Proofreading for grammar, rewriting paragraphs, and making sentences concise is what I like to do, but I sometimes leave choppy prose behind.

24017:

I have a particular interest in linguistics and theoretical computer science, but I dabble in many other areas. (My interests are unlimited, my expertise less so.) The large majority of edits I make are copy editing; I generally correct errors as soon as I notice them.

12777:

Have ACD when it comes to typos, misspellings, punctuation errors, errors of grammar both large and small and anything that gets in the way of efficient communication of thought. Since my training was prior to 1969, I tend to be conservative in my approach and edits.

11411:

Why haven't I joined before now? I have been reviewing the NewPagesFeed for awhile, and used to use AWB to review articles by categories, new pages, recent changes, etc. Lately, I have been focused on the oldest "new unreviewed articles". Any tips are appreciated!

22407:

Long-time copy editor turned college professor. My goal: to help battle the backlog. Also, I often create projects for students in which they edit Knowledge, mostly emphasizing sourcing, but I think it's only fair I keep practicing anything I ask them to learn.

1627:

I need copyediting experience, and really, I couldn't think of a better way to get it than by helping out Knowledge. I plan to mostly edit articles that contain topics relevant to my favorite pieces of media, as I'd like to do what I can to make them shine.

15643:

As a self proclaimed "Grammatiken Nazi" I believe the changes and errors we make today will become common usage tomorrow and I am afraid that the internet-raised generation will corrupt the English language that the rest of us will be forced to share.

25733:

Professional journalist/editor. Extensive experience in research, writing, editing, and publishing. I prefer working on biographies and historical subjects. Tend to stay away from sports and scientific subjects, but open to editing anything else.

6392:. The Current Event WikiProject focuses on articles while they are in the news, but forgets formatting. I attempt to do some formatting, but I will mainly be submitting requests for articles after the Current Event WikiProject is done with it. 27698:

I just registered; been doing this for several years as an unregistered IP because it is quite an experience to be able to help keep clean such a large and ambitious effort to bring "community" knowledge to the rest of the global community.

14319:

Despise lazy English-writing habits; stickler on the Oxford Comma and fixing the misuse of "however"; hate choppy, juvenile-sounding sentences; enjoy making this encyclopedia read like an encyclopedia while still a fan of keeping it simple.

18991:

I love content creation and have got many GAs as well as have reviewed more then 30 GA nominations. My interests are specially in re-writing, improving and fixing other issues (little hard to explain, I just improve whatever I feel I can).

23762:

I've been a pedant about grammar, spelling, punctuation, and some style my whole life. Did some informal copy editing at my college paper. On and off wikifever, usually just small edits. Also help maintain a MediaWiki wiki at my company.

27072:

Music articles especially, but anything that doesn't put me to sleep. I mostly copyedit if I find an especially bad article/have the time, but I currently do not have the time to take any requests on my talk page. Apologies in advance.

18522:

Editing, proofreading, re-writing and updating content, particularly improving narrative, general organization and balance of Articles. Areas of expertise; Science, Arts, Politics, Law, History, background research, Reliable Sources.

24174:

I'll pretty much edit anything as I naturally edit as I read. If you want me to edit a specific page, just post a request on my page and I'll try to get to it as soon as I can. I usually go on Knowledge once or twice every 1-3 days.

7875:

I'm new to Knowledge and I don't have any formal copyediting experience, but I'd love to help out! I'll edit anything, but I'm especially interested in Christianity, Japanese culture, and anything that has to do with the humanities.

141: 28104:

I work as a senior editor and technical director at a network-owned television station in the United States. I am generally good at spotting and correcting errors in printed text, voice over copy and graphics. I often refer to the

25252:

I'm a big believer in giving back to Knowledge all that it has given me over the years, and this project seems like an excellent opportunity for me to sharpen the saw and fine-tune my editing skills. Thanks for organizing it.

24206:

I've been copyediting on an ad hoc basis ever since I started working on Knowledge in June 2005, fixing style, punctuation, syntax, grammar, spelling and orthography errors as I encounter them. My signature usually appears as

18218:

Editing, proofreading, re-writing, and updating content for grammar and style issues - I will do my best to keep in line with the prevailing style of the page I am editing, although I am most familiar with AP and APA styles.

27282:

copyediting: when I read an article but find the style problems distracting me, I start a "quick" edit, which often turns into hours-long sessions across 5 or 6 related articles, frequently including reference improvements.

25271:

I focus largely on the clarity of my edits. I feel this project would be a good way to help do my part around Knowledge. I will focus primarily on articles related to Military History as that is a special interest of mine.

11113:

Glad to be here. I've visited Knowledge a lot since its inception, and have been using it a lot more lately just for learning random information, so it's both an honour and a privilege to be part of the copy editing team.

1895:

I think figuring out how to add our names here correctly is already a bit of a test, and it feels like I'm flunking it because the others didn't do it this way. But sigh, me still like edit. (If I did it wrong, talk2me.)

19596:

Editing, copy editing, rewriting, proofreading, as well as design and layout. Project editor for an international government agency, editor for a distance learning institution. I edit and correct teachers' writing work.

18503:

Editing, proofreading, re-writing and updating content. Areas of expertise: urban design, landscape architecture, city planning, and multi-modal transportation planning with focus on bicycles, pedestrians and transit.

12737:

17146:

Editing, proofreading, re-writing and updating content. I'm quite pedantic about grammar for clarity. And I simply insist that readability and academic thoroughness are not mutually exclusive. Style, baby, style.

1497:

I did copy-writing/-editing for a spell as freelance work. So now, without the worry of deadlines and clients, I think I'm going to genuinely enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of detangling and resynthesizing.

26757:

disciplines, so I may focus my work there unless requested otherwise. My copy editing experience comes from being editor-in-chief of a school newsletter for a few years, though I have no professional experience.

28626:

Have been here a while but forgot to sign-in. Any subject unless/until it requires expert attention. Enjoy improving choppy/translated material to a readable, flowing standard - in addition to just cleaning-up!

10015:

When I see awkward phrasing or writing that contains an egregious amount of unnecessary words, I have to fix it. Also, maintaining a high standard of writing quality for Knowledge articles is important to me.

27666:

Former member of the Knowledge League of Copy Editors; I've done (and am still doing) copy editing for an internationally distributed magazine; have also written large amount of ad copy for one web site.

18125:

Looks like an under-appreciated yet vital WikiProject. I'll do general editing, proofreading, re-formatting, spell-checking, updating, and basically everything helpful. Technical topics are usually fine.

14550:

I started copy editing a page the very first time I looked at Knowledge 400 or 500 years ago and I've been here ever since. And I love putting in links. But remember -- just say no to the Oxford Comma!

6444:

As a former journalist and editor, I suffer from an irrational desire to correct spelling errors, bad grammar and tautologies whenever I see them. I've fought against this, but to no avail. So here I am.

14099:

In the end, what makes a book valuable is not the paper it’s printed on, but the thousands of hours of work by dozens of people who are dedicated to creating the best possible reading experience for you.

13781:

9750:

Seeking precision and consistency in references, syntax, citations, etc., blah-blah-blah. (Posted {{User Copy Edit}} on my userpage last year, and while it renders there, I wasn't addded to this list.)

23645:-related articles, poor punctuation and grammatical errors due to negligence are one of my major pet peeves. Therefore, as a copy-editor, I am willing to help out with any problems I am introduced to. 19904:

9241:

I enjoy writing and editing, and have served on student publications (high school, university and grad school) as contributor, copy editor, and coeditor. Finished with school now and happy to be here!

7862:

26301:

The think I love about proper spelling, punctuation, grammar and tone are that it doesn't matter what the subject is - the rules remain the same. So I can look educated on many subjects while only

23781:

my editing experience comes thru military journalism, mostly looking to work on militaria articles. I also have knowledge in photography, environmental engineering, camping and outdoor adventurism

16219:

I like copy-editing. Can do it pretty well too (or so I think). Though I am not yet perfect at it I'd love to help to the best of my abilities. I specially like to copy-edit articles related to

25806:

I love copy-editing for the sheer fun of it, because I get to do something to improve the quality of various articles, and because it takes me to such remote corners of the Knowledge universe.

Editing, proofreading, re-writing and updating content, since I'm not really a fan of the big debates when it comes to new content (more frequently on the Dutch version of wiki, but still).

11140:

This is a great opportunity for me to develop and improve my copyediting skills. It's also wonderful to know that I'll be volunteering for a project that benefits people all over the world.

22460:

Liberal arts education; I have 20 years' copyediting experience in computer science and engineering -- if that's more helpful than general copyediting, which I'm generally interested in.

25132:

I've written a book (in the process of a second, though none are published yet), and I find copy editing to be a fun way to contribute. Hope to get a few articles done once and a while.

24754:

General spelling, grammar and overall clarity of message. Interested in many topics, specialising in scientific, technical and Australian related articles. Article layout and image use.

22424:

Not sure what date I actually joined -- I realized I removed the userbox a while ago and never replaced my name. I do a fair amount of copyediting, so I figured I should join the Guild!

6458:

I'm sort of a grammar Nazi and hate terrible grammar. I'm also really good at spelling so that's why I want to help. I've already changed the grammar on one page so that's why I'm here.

28374:

I am already part of the grammar wikiproject and the CVU so thought i'd top it all off with this. Now I can start. Note that I don't have much free time but I will help whenever I can.

23: 24718:

Happy to help with what needs doing; I see this project as a way to learn more about Knowledge. Possibly useful skills: engineering and science background, can read French and German.

5563:

I hope I edit well. This entire making-a-Knowledge-account-and-joining-this-previously-unknown-guild-thing is unbelievably impulsive of me, but I love editing, so here I go I suppose.

21606:

I have a bit of editing experience through my job at a publishing house. Main interests are music, sports, video gaming and TV shows, but I am happy to help where help is needed. :-)

27168:

I am a natural English speaker and have studied it to a fairly high level. And I'm amused by the fact that it is doubtful whether English is the first language of the user below me.

23605:

Interested in sport, philosophy, music and literature. However, I strongly dislike grammatical errors, so when it comes to editing I feel I could be a valuable addition to the team.

14293:

Just because being a "professional grammar nazi" doesn't sound as good as "Member of Guild of Copy Editors". Additionally, I don't like the stereotype that teenagers can't spell. ;)

21081:

Development/performance tuning of P2P, networking, and computing architectures. Balanced copyright law and human rights. Recce (aka Reconnaisance) tech and tradecraft ( Walkhouse =

I will go through the list of articles that need copy editing, and find small articles, or articles riddled with typos, or interesting articles with typos, and correct those typos.

28127:

I have a strong interest improving the general overall quality of Knowledge articles via the copy editing process. Occasionally, this means re-writing text to remove or reduce the

27884:

I have knowledge and experience writing about science for general audiences and the arts in Australia, but I also enjoy just cleaning things up. Always keen to try and redress the

24054:

I'm an evil, inhuman grammar Nazi (specifically correct use of you're/your and their/there/they're) and I think that this a great activity to keep me occupied when I can't sleep.

2544: 25900:

Dedicated counter-vandal, and seriously needs to take a break from that (a bit too fast-paced!), is a high school student and likes contributing to discussion on various topics.

1792:

When I grow up, I want to be a grammar police officer. Oh wait! That's not a real job? Well then, I guess I can correct grammar on the world's most easily editable encyclopedia.

14440: 25788:

Proper spelling and punctuation should be standards in the production and maintenance of a well-written article. Also, my brain freezes when I see a typo or a run-on sentence.

815: 24350:

A new user... self proclaimed "Grammar Nazi" ready to wage ruthless war against poor grammar, poor spelling, sentence fragments, and other scourges afflicting the Knowledge.

15696:

Would love the experience. There is nothing quite as sad as seeing a small article in dire need of assistance—limping along with butchered syntax and maimed capitalization.

715:

Have done a lot of copyediting outside Wiki, so I'm learning the style and standards here. Looking to improve those skills and love finding random new articles to do it on.

7263:

My first 500 edits were copyedits, usually using Random article. My most recent 1,000 edits were vandalism edits, and I want to get back in the wonderful world of grammar!

15761:

I enjoy editing and developing new articles, especially about civil engineering, railroads and US government process and policy. I can help if you need it... Many thanks.

19097:

Editing, proofreading and spelling; re-writing for grammar and sentence construction; improvements to article layout and style; updating content and tense where obvious.

10594:

Engineer with technical writing experience. I greatly appreciate Knowledge and its mission. Happy to find a place where my grammatical fanaticism can be put to good use.

5591:

I first started copy editing EngWP more than 16 years ago to unwind while snatching rest breaks. It's become a compulsion and now has the opposite effect, unfortunately.

5667:

I have a good knowledge of the English language, thought I might help! (also, sorry I can't link my page, it loaded my entire page when I tried to insert a link to it)

11539: 16346:

I believe even the best written and most knowledgeable writers can use a second pair of eyes to ensure they are getting their message across clearly and effectively.

5420:

As a loyal foot soldier in the ceaseless crusade against corruptions of the language, I'm charmed to be coöperating in my copy-editing with like-minded contributors.

25186:

Joined the Guild: Purty gud at grammer, speling. & punktuational pruferedink? ;D Love to help clean up. Prefer non-fiction and non-entertainment-related topics.

23384: 18476: 16489:

I'm not an expert in anything, but I've always had a "thing" for spotting errors (even in published books), so I feel this is where I can really contribute to Wiki.

14280:

After spending an exorbitant amount of time rewriting chunks of each wikipedia article I read to correct the poor English I finnally come across this group. Huzzah!

12012: 11692:

Because I believe my skills at copyediting and editing in general have improved, I have decided to rejoin the guild. I hope I can continue to improve in the future!

2133: 17589:

Editing, proofreading, re-writing, subbing. Prefer articles on technology (electronics, automation, computer software, instrumentation), food, India (places, food)

14129:

I copy edit all the time. Both my parents were editors, and I was taught by them. I am really excited to know that this guild exists. Copy editing is so important.

13024:

Touching up articles for MOS helps me unwind. Untangling prose, fixing inappropriate semicolons, I just enjoy it. Some people juggle geese, I insert Oxford commas.

5113:

Language is very important for the developement of society as a whole and by contributing, I have my own copycheck engine that I use which assists me in copyedits.

28742:

Since I seem to be very good at picking out other people's mistakes, I'll be glad to join. =) I'm an avid reader, so I can probably tackle most anything on books.

25285:

I'm a Writer, Editor and a Proofreader. I have an interest in Biology, Viruses and Electronic subjects although I'll have a go at anything reasonably interesting.

21262: 20348: 14772:

Editing, proofreading, re-writing- I enjoy sorting spelling, fixing grammar, weeding out weasel words, eliminating fluff, and generally making stuff readable.

15617:

As a public library paraprofessional, I use Knowledge every day and I want to give something back to its community. Constructive criticism is always welcome.

10988: 6863:

I’m often tempted to merely tweak an awkward sentence when what is really needed is serious work to improve objectivity and integration. Time for more coffee.

1766:

Wanted to get into Knowledge contribution because of my long-time support for open source software and information. Very honored to be a part of this project.

3717:

I absolutely despise bad grammar and verbal chaos on Knowledge so let's see if I can help fix things up a bit. Sounds like a fun way to spend some free time!

I love transforming substantial pieces of writing into things that are excellent and coherent, and this way I can use my skills to benefit the whole world

3446:

Gradually expanding my commitment to knowledge sharing by helping others to articulate clearly, whilst welcoming critical comment on my own contributions.

2263: 90: 9163:

I came to Knowledge because I was a reader of Knowledge. I joined in May 2018. I'm really good at fixing articles that need copyediting. So, I came here.

21466: 20737: 18271: 15401: 15320: 13155: 11364: 10923: 4600: 4127: 3967: 1978: 1678:

Anything to do with engineering, schools, colleges, New York State, Washington, D.C.; worth asking about anything else, I'll probably still help out.
