Guild of Copy Editors July 2016 News
![]() Hello everyone, and welcome to the July 2016 GOCE newsletter. June Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 12 through 18 June; the themes were video games and Asian geography. Of the 18 editors who signed up, 11 removed 47 articles from the backlog. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. Coordinator elections: The second tranche of Guild coordinators for 2016, who will serve a six-month term until 23:59 UTC on 31 December, have been elected. Jonesey95 remains as your drama-free Lead Coordinator, and Corinne and Tdslk are your new assistant coordinators. For her long service to the Guild, Miniapolis has been enrolled in the GOCE Hall of Fame. Thanks to everyone who voted in the election; our next scheduled one occurs in December 2016. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; self-nominations are welcome and encouraged. July Drive: Our month-long July Copy Editing Backlog Elimination Drive is now underway. Our aim is to remove articles tagged for copy-edit in April, May and June 2015, and to complete all requests on the GOCE Requests page from June 2016. The drive ends at 23:59 on 31 July 2016 (UTC). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdlsk. |

Hi, I put a request to change my username to TedEdwards last week, but the request has not been met due to the technical issue with the software. Could I ask if you have any idea when this issue will be sorted out? Theoosmond ( talk) 21:41, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm dumb & usually only correct small edits & spelling mistakes so I hope I am doing this right. I read your user page & you said you appreciate WikiLove, so I wanted to give you some. Thank you for all the name changing you've done for me. My name change mid-life crisis is over & you will probably be rid of me now, but I wanted to thank you for the tireless, repetitive work you do for people who probably never do stop to say thanks or really even realise you are a person (I thought you were a bot the first time, I am so sorry). So thank you, for the repetitive work that many people are never willing to do & certainly not without a paycheck. Thank you. I wish I could buy you a coffee or some other for of gratitude (that I can afford, I am dirt poor, but I'd blow my weekly 6 dollar allowance on you if there was a way??????? Hint hint nudge nudge). Thanks again. Monroe Charles ( talk) 23:48, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
