Creation of page

Hi all! Glad you have made your way to this project. *smiles* I have been considering starting a Wikiproject or task force for some time that would focus solely on maintaining and reducing the backlog of articles needing copy edit; this idea came about because I realised that there is currently no Wikiproject dealing with this (after WP:LOCE died due to non-fulfillment of copy editing requests, probably among other reasons).

The Wikiprojects closest in intention are WP:Grammar and WP:PR, but these don't deal with the backlog. I have contacted several people over the past weeks who are or may be interested in the project, and will send out a more general call for interested people, especially to members of WP:LOCE, WP:Grammar, and perhaps WP:PR. We'll see how things go. Meanwhile, feel free to start copy editing, discussing project details, and what have you.

The next thing we should do for the project is to create images and templates for our logo, usebox, article-in-use tags, and etc. I have some skill with PhotoShop so I'll be working on this if I have the time, but feel free to try too :)

Cheers! -Samuel Tan 01:40, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
