This Copy Editing Backlog Elimination Drive was a one-month-long effort of the Guild of Copy Editors to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy editing: those carrying the {{ copy edit}} tag (also {{ copy edit section}}, {{ copy edit inline}}, {{ inappropriate person}}, {{ cleanup tense}}, and their redirects) and those listed on the GOCE Requests page. It began on 1 January 2023, 00:00 (UTC) and ended on 31 January 2023, 23:59 (UTC). The goals of this drive were:

  • 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 page dating 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 Guild of Copy Editors to participate. You must, however, have been competent in your use of English grammar, spelling and punctuation. We strongly advised you to read Wikipedia's guide to basic copy editing before you began working. If you were unsure about spelling, grammar or punctuation, consult 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 coordinators. The drive's coordinators are Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis, and Zippybonzo . If you have any questions, leave a message on the drive's talk page.

For brief instructions on recording your work, see below. For full instructions, visit the main drive page. Further details can be found on the drive FAQ 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 {{ checked}} template after the article on the listing and sign your username with four tildes (~~~~). If a rough consensus finds that a copy edit is not of an acceptable standard, the tag will be re-added and the editor will be penalized 1,200 words plus the word count of the reviewed article. The reviewer may give advice on how the edit could have been improved without penalizing the editor. Please raise any questions on the Coordinators' talk page.

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.

This Copy Editing Backlog Elimination Drive was a one-month-long effort of the Guild of Copy Editors to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy editing: those carrying the {{ copy edit}} tag (also {{ copy edit section}}, {{ copy edit inline}}, {{ inappropriate person}}, {{ cleanup tense}}, and their redirects) and those listed on the GOCE Requests page. It began on 1 January 2023, 00:00 (UTC) and ended on 31 January 2023, 23:59 (UTC). The goals of this drive were:

  • 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 page dating 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 Guild of Copy Editors to participate. You must, however, have been competent in your use of English grammar, spelling and punctuation. We strongly advised you to read Wikipedia's guide to basic copy editing before you began working. If you were unsure about spelling, grammar or punctuation, consult 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 coordinators. The drive's coordinators are Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis, and Zippybonzo . If you have any questions, leave a message on the drive's talk page.

For brief instructions on recording your work, see below. For full instructions, visit the main drive page. Further details can be found on the drive FAQ page.

Full instructions, tips, and awards

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 {{ checked}} template after the article on the listing and sign your username with four tildes (~~~~). If a rough consensus finds that a copy edit is not of an acceptable standard, the tag will be re-added and the editor will be penalized 1,200 words plus the word count of the reviewed article. The reviewer may give advice on how the edit could have been improved without penalizing the editor. Please raise any questions on the Coordinators' talk page.

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.
