Main page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives

This Copy Editing Backlog Elimination Drive was a one-month-long effort of the

GOCE Requests page
. It began on September 1, 2014, 00:00 (UTC) and ended on September 30, 2014, 23:59 (UTC). The goals of this drive are:

  • to reduce the backlog by as many articles as possible, with a focus on the earliest-tagged articles (June, July, and August 2013)
  • to complete all requests on the GOCE Requests page from August 2014.

Drive participants can earn barnstar awards based on the number of articles—and the word counts of the articles—they copy edit. Articles from the Requests page count towards your total; these are generally higher-quality articles than those tagged with {{

copyedit
}} in June, July, or August 2013, and articles listed on the Requests page. Awards will be given out once the drive has finished.

The drive is open to all; you don't have to be a member of the

Wikipedia Manual of Style
. Skilled use of English is especially important for articles listed on the Requests page.

Drives are under the purview of the Guild's

Baffle gab1978 (talk) and Miniapolis (talk). If you have any questions, leave a message on the drive's talk page
.

For brief instructions on how to record your work, see below. For full instructions, visit the main drive page.

Full instructions, tips, and awards

Full instructions for participants, tips, help for new copy editors, useful tags, and details of the many barnstars available for the drive can be found on the main drive page. Please read this page carefully before you begin. To sign up, please use the form in the Signing up section below.

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 {{

Coordinators' talk page
.

Reviewers sign-up

  1. I'll do some checking from mid-month onwards.

Totals

How to record articles you have copy edited:

  • 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:
