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 {{copyedit}} 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.
- Article word counts go in round brackets (): use this scriptto get the page's word count.
- Place articles you're working on on the {{Working}} line. When you've finished your copy edit, change {{Working}} to {{Completed}}
- If the article is from the GOCE Requests page, place *R after the word count. If it was tagged in March, April and May 2015, place *O 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 it on the drive talk page.
Properly completed records look like this in the edit window:
- # {{Completed}} [[Dark chocolate]] (yummy!) (1,234) *O
and like this on the rendered page:
- 1.
Completed Dark chocolate (yummy!) (1,234) *O
