I've put the above request on hold because the requester @Vigilantcosmicpenguin: (courtesy ping) indicates the presence of close paraphrasing, which can often mean copyright violations. I've asked them to either indicate the relevant (sub-)section(s) using a template so the copy-editor knows where the problem text is or, if it's a true copyvio, to remove the problem text and have the revisions deleted. I'm happy for this to stay on hold for a while so this can occur.

Thanks for the note Baffle☿gab. Nothing needs to be revdelled, the issue was close paraphrasing rather than direct copyvio. As this will be copyedited by a third party, I believe I should be able to approve the DYK following that, so I gone ahead and handled the small amounts of close paraphrasing remaining myself. The copyediting that is desired now is an overall copyedit to help weave the points taken from disparate sources together. Let me know if there is anything else needed.

Thank you, Chipmunkdavis, my concerns are addressed and I'll now remove my hold notice. I was concerned a copy-editor wouldn't know if text they would consider acceptable, and thus may not reword in any way, may be the exact text they need to adjust.

(DYK) I nominated Kanifing for a DYK, and the reviewer noted that the article may have issues with close paraphrasing. The reviewer suggested I take it here so others can help fix these issues.

On hold; hi @Vigilantcosmicpenguin:, copyright problems should be dealt with before a copy-edit takes place. If only part of the article is closely paraphrased, please identify the (sub-)section(s) using {{Close paraphrasing}} so a copy-editor knows where to work. If text is close enough to the original to be a copyright violation, it should be removed and the revisions deleted via {{Copyvio-revdel}}. Discuss at REQ talk.

@Nineteen Ninety-Four guy:, please note citation-checking is not part of the copy-editing process. Per WP:BURDEN, the person adding the material is responsible for its accuracy and verifiability.

This article needs a copy edit. Just in the lead, I see "long lived", "The pelage ranges from reddish to yellowish-brown, and dark brown to cream in color", "wide 21 to 36 cm (8.3 to 14.2 in) long paws", "brown bears predominately feed on", "it is a solitary animal that only associates when", "just c. 50 bears".

I will take this. I assume that the errors listed above are: "pelage" is too choice or educated usage for "fur"; "wide" and "long" are confusing; "predominately" should be "predominantly"; "solitary" should be "usually solitary"; and "c." is too cryptic.

This probably needs no comment yet but I've put the request for the above article on hold because the article is currently at AFD here.

I've put the request for the above BLP article on hold and suggest we wait a short while then decline because the article, as the requester @DareshMohan: (courtesy ping) says here, it is largely unsourced. Unsourced content in BLP articles should be either cited or removed, so c/e-ing this would be pointless until this unsourced content is dealt with. GOCE is not Cleanup.

Hi all, I noticed a while back the archiving bot at REQ doesn't archive requests that have an asterisk in them. First-world problem, I know. So I've been removing asterisks from the page. After a chat with @Dhtwiki: (courtesy ping) here (permalink), I see the asterisks are added by the page notice, which I don't have permission to edit. TBH, I edit without JavaScript and didn't even know that template was able to do that! There are three solutions I can see:
a) edit the page notice to remove asterisks and replace them with a colon or double colon;
b) bother the bot operator to try and stop it from ignoring asterisks; or
c) continue with regular manual asterisk removal.
I think (a) as the best solution if it can be done; (b) is less good because there may be times when we want to stop the bot archiving a subsection and it involves poking the bot op; and (c) is a daily chore I won't always be around to do, although it will help me reach 100,000 edits more quickly!

Follow up: Dhtwiki's test here (diff) showed the bot doesn't have a problem with asterisks so I apologize for making a fuss. I'l try and work out what really happened. I think this earlier bot outage (permalink) has something to do with it. :) I'll use asterisks in my next request; see what happens. Cheers, 22:36, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

More or less Done. I've corrected grammar and such throughout the article. It remains quite stylistically choppy in places, and I think the whole thing could do with a de-crufting, but I'll leave that for someone else who has the intestinal fortitude (and hopefully a modicum of knowledge about Filipino pop culture, which I lack).

Hi! I'm not a good copyeditor myself, so I'm requesting another article. I fixed a lot, but this needs more fixes. This is pretty lengthy, but this is an interesting article. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 08:47, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241216084700","author":"TheNuggeteer","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-TheNuggeteer-20241216084700-Tropical_Storm_Kai-tak_2","replies":["c-Fluffernutter-20241217164800-TheNuggeteer-20241216084700"],"displayName":"\ud83c\udf57TheNugg"}}-->
@TheNuggeteer: Done. However, there was one sentence I struggled to untangle, and I think it could use more attention: Under "Rebuilding", there is a sentence that says (after my tweaks) "The project required three phases: the planning, which was initiated in December and was finished in January, Implementation, which was deployed shortly after and ended in February, and then the full second phase, with whom a partner deployed another related project, which was deployed in April and ended at the end of the year." This is...really unclear. My understanding of it, which may or may not be accurate, is that there were three phases:
The planning phase (begun in Dec, ended in Jan)
The implementation phase (why is "Implementation" capitalized?) (begun in January and ended in February)
The second...phase? But we've already covered two phases, so isn't this the third phase?? Also what partner, and what related project, and why aren't we naming those? And once we sort that out, we really ought to change at least one of those "deployed"s to some other word to avoid repetition.
If you can give me some clarity on that sentence, I'm happy to go back in and rework it accordingly.

Sorry for taking long, I was busy updating things. For 1st, nothing's wrong with it, right? For the 2nd, uncapitalize Implementation. For the 3rd, the source states that it's named the "second phase" even though it's supposed to be the third. I found that the partner was CBO, which I don't know. I tried searching, but the only thing that popped up was Cotabato Airport, and I don't think an airport is eligible to be a business partner. For the rest of the changes, sure.

Mostly Done, but I'd appreciate a second review from another copyeditor, specifically on the matter of number agreement involving the group's name. Something about the way it's sometimes referred to as "they" and sometimes as "it", with corresponding conjugations in other words ("they were" but "it was"), throughout the article is nagging at me, but I can't quite put a finger on how to straighten it out to make things consistent.

For the most part the article reads well. Sentences such as:
Fans and critics alike have praised Bini for their stable vocals, excellent synchronization, and meaningful lyrics.
On May 4, 2021, Bini released their first official debut teaser through a QR code leading to an image that reads "Are you ready for the Biniverse?"
work because "Bini" is an implied plural noun.
Sentences such as:
From this pool of auditionees, with recommendations from talent scouts, the first set of female SHA trainees, 12 girls, was selected. While Dyogi initially planned to debut a nine-member idol girl group, it was eventually trimmed down to eight girls:... ("...it was eventually..." -> "...which was eventually..."?)
In February 2022, the group was featured on the cover of the Dubai-based magazine Xpedition as "The Burgeoning Grace", making Bini one of the first Filipino celebrities, alongside brother group BGYO, to have an NFT magazine cover launched through the Metaverse. ("making Bini one of the first Filipino celebrities" -> "making Bini among the first Filipino celebrities"?)
are problematic (and those were the only two I could find). Dhtwiki (talk) 09:56, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241219095600","author":"Dhtwiki","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Dhtwiki-20241219095600-Fluffernutter-20241218135800","replies":[]}}-->

I've reviewed the article in its current version and didn't spot anything that needed fixing from a copyediting POV. It looks from page history like BernaBotto attempted some large changes and then the changes were reverted back to the status quo ante, so I'm not sure there actually is anything to do at this point.
