This Copy Editing Backlog Elimination Drive was a one-month-long effort of the
- to reduce the backlog by as many articles as possible, especially the earliest-tagged articles (those tagged in February, March and April);
- to complete all requests on the GOCE Requests pagedating from September, October and November.
Drive participants earned barnstar awards based on the number of articles—and the word counts of the articles—they copy edited. Articles listed on the Requests page counted towards their total; these articles are generally higher in quality than those tagged with {{copy edit}}. Participants received a bonus score of 50% over the article's word count for articles that were tagged with {{copy edit}} in February, March and April 2022, and for articles listed on the Requests page. Awards were given out once the drive has finished.
The drive was open to all Wikipedians; you didn't have to be a member of the

Reviewing
GOCE coordinators and other experienced Guild members will carry out random checks to ensure that copy edits are of a satisfactory standard. If you are willing to help with reviewing, please sign up below.
10% of each participant's copy edits from the backlog should be checked, and all copy edits from the Requests page should be reviewed, time permitting. Please choose articles at random and do not inspect your own copy edits. After checking articles, place a {{

Totals
How to record articles you have copy edited:
- Remove any extant {{copy edit}} tags from the article.
- When you sign up, your section is automatically populated with # {{Working}} [[]] () and # {{Completed}} [[]] ():
- Article titles go in wikilinks [[]]. List the article's full title (not an abbreviated version) and avoid piped links, quotation marks and italics.
- Article word counts go in round brackets (): use this script to get the page's word count. Count the words in the version of the article that existed before you started editing. These brackets should not contain anything other than this number; do not use additional brackets for comments. Avoid long calculation strings(more than one line) in your word total.
- Place the article you are editing on the {{Working}} line. Only work on one article at a time. When you've finished your copy edit, change {{Working}} to {{Completed}}.
- If the article is from the GOCE Requests page, place *R (using plain text) after the word count. If it was tagged in February, March and April 2022, place *O (using plain text) after the word count.
- Place any comments between the article title and the word count.
- Do not list articles on which you have placed {{GOCEreviewed}} instead of copy editing them, or which needed no copy editing.
- Do not add the 50% bonus for Requests or Oldest articles—a coordinator will apply the bonuses after the drive is over.
- If you want your work checked, you can request this on the drive talk page.
Properly completed records look like this in the edit window:
- # {{Completed}} [[Dark chocolate]] (1,234) *O
and like this on the rendered page:
- 1. Completed Dark chocolate (1,234) *O
