Question on spelling
editIs there meant to be consistency in the way variations of "copy edit" are spelt within the body of the article? For example, there are several instances each of "copy editor" and "copyeditor". Thanks, Mondo Beer (talk) 14:07, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
Copy editing vs. language editing
editI have tried to figure out the difference between the two. Can anyone answer my question, maybe by putting it into the Wikipedia article? I am sure I am not the only one who has that question. Cheers, 130.226.41.9 (talk) 12:35, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
On systematically changing the spelling of the subject of this article
editThe spelling should match the title of the article. If you feel strongly that the article title is not spelled correctly, you can read about how to suggest a change at WP:RM. - MrOllie (talk) 15:36, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading?
editThis organisation has no article so the default assumption is that it is not wp:notable. Consequently I have removed the reference to it from this article as potentially misleading promotion. If an article about it is created, the info can be reinstated.
To be accepted, the article as minimum should say what the charter is, and how/when it came into existence, citing a (disinterested) wp:reliable source. The article would need to provide third-party evidence that its qualifications have any de facto or (preferably) de jure recognition. Any WP:conflict of interest must be declared.--John Maynard Friedman (talk) 23:51, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
Citation needed that describes how the terms "proof-reading" and "copy-editing" have become merged in common usage
editI have asked at talk:Proofreading#Citation needed that describes how the terms "proof-reading" and "copy-editing" have become merged in common usage if anyone can provide a citation to support my "as everybody knows" statement. Please reply there or edit that article. Thank you. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 10:13, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
