[[File:Writing Magnifying.PNG|100px|right]]

The '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2014|March 2014 backlog elimination drive]]''' is a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles in need of copyediting. The drive begins on March 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on March 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copyedit all articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and to complete all [[WP:GOCE/REQ|requests]] placed in January 2014. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copyedits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: number of articles, number of words, number of articles over 5,000 words, number of articles tagged in December 2012 and January 2013 and the longest article. We hope to see you there!

'''Drive:''' Thanks to everyone who participated in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2014|'''November's Backlog Elimination Drive''']]. Of the 43 people who signed up for this drive, 26 copy edited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2014/Barnstars|'''here''']].

'''Progress report:''' The November Drive removed 26 requests from the Requests page and 509 articles from the {{tl|copy edit}} backlog. We copy edited 83 articles tagged in the target months; July, August, and September 2013. Together with tag removals from articles unsuitable for copy editing, we eliminated July 2013 from the backlog and reduced August and September's tags to 61 and 70 respectively. As of  01:01, 1 December 2014 (UTC), the backlog stood at 1,974 articles, dipping below 2,000 for the first time in the Guild's history (see graph at right). Well done everyone!

'''Blitz''': The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2014|'''December Blitz''']] will run from December 14–20  and will focus on articles related to '''Religion''', in recognition of this month's religious holidays in much of the English-speaking world. Awards will be given out to everyone who copy edits at least one of the target articles. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/December_2014#Signing_up|'''Sign up here''']]!

'''Election time again:''' The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2015|'''election of coordinators''']] to serve from 1 January to 30 June 2015 is now underway. Candidates can nominate themselves or others from December 01, 00:01 (UTC), until December 15, 23:59. The voting period will run from December 16, 00:01 (UTC), until December 31, 23:59. You can read about coordinators' duties [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators|here]]. Please consider getting involved and remember to cast you vote{{mdash}}it's '''your''' Guild and it doesn't organize itself!

Thank you all once again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve anything without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}, and {{noping|Miniapolis}}.

Hello everyone, welcome to the June 2016 GOCE newsletter. It's been a few months since we sent one out; we hope y'all haven't forgotten about the Guild! Your coordinators have been busy behind the scenes as usual, though real life has a habit of reducing our personal wiki-time. The May backlog reduction drive, the usual coordinating tasks and preparations for the June election are keeping us on our toes!  

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2016|May drive]]:''' Thanks to everyone who participated in last month's record-setting backlog reduction drive. Of the 29 people who signed up, 16 copyedited at least one article, 197 copyedits were recorded on the drive page, and the copyedit backlog fell below 1,500 for the first time! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2016/Barnstars|'''here''']].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2016|June Blitz]]''': this one-week copy-editing blitz will occur from 12 June through 18 June; the themes will be '''video games''' and '''Asian geography'''.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2016/2|Coordinator elections]]''':
It's election time again; how quickly they seem to roll around! '''Nominations''' for the next tranche of Guild coordinators, who will serve a six-month term that begins at 00:01 UTC on 1 July and ends at 23:59 UTC on 31 December, opens at 00:01 UTC on 1 June and closes at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. '''Voting''' takes place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. If you'd like to assist behind the scenes, please consider stepping forward; self-nominations are welcomed and encouraged. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; remember it's '''your''' Guild, and it doesn't run itself!

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Miniapolis}} and {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter. 

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2016|>>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<<]]

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2016|July Drive]]''': The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove '''April, May, and June 2015''' from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added '''July 2015''' (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever. 

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2016|August Blitz]]''': this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was '''sports-related articles''' in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/August_2016/Barnstars|here]]. Thanks to all editors who took part.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Corinne}} and {{noping|Tdlsk}}.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2016 GOCE newsletter. We had an October newsletter all set to go, but it looks like we never pushed the button to deliver it, so this one contains a few months of updates. We have been busy and successful!

{{center|[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2016|>>> Sign up for the December Blitz! <<<]]}}

'''Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017''': Nominations are open for '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2017/1|election of Coordinators for the first half of 2017]]'''. Please visit the election page to nominate yourself or another editor, and then return after December 15 to vote. Thanks for participating!

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2016|September Drive]]''': The September drive was fruitful. We set out to remove '''July through October 2015''' from our backlog (an ambitious 269 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of oldest articles to just 83. We reduced our overall backlog by 97 articles, even with new copyedit tags being added to articles every day. We also handled 75% of the remaining Requests from August 2016. Overall, 19 editors recorded copy edits to 233 articles (over 378,000 words). 

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/October 2016|October Blitz]]''': this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme was '''[[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''', since the backlog was getting a bit long. Of the 16 editors who signed up, 10 editors completed 29 requests. Barnstars and rollover totals are located [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/October_2016/Barnstars|here]]. Thanks to all editors who took part.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2016|November Drive]]''': The November drive was a '''record-breaker!''' We set out to remove '''September through December 2015''' from our backlog (239 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of old articles to just 66, eliminating the two oldest months! '''We reduced our overall backlog by 523 articles, to a new record low of 1,414 articles''', even with new tags being added to articles every day, which means we removed copy-editing tags from '''over 800 articles'''. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from October 2016. Officially, 14 editors recorded copy edits to 200 articles (over 312,000 words), but over 600 articles, usually quick fixes and short articles, were not recorded on the drive page. 

'''Housekeeping note:''' we do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Ombox|the GOCE's message box]]''' to your Watchlist. 

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Corinne}} and {{noping|Tdslk}}.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the February 2017 GOCE newsletter. The Guild has been busy since the last time your coordinators sent out a newsletter!

{{center|<big>[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2017|>>> Sign up for the March Drive! <<<]]</big>}}

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2016|December blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 December; the themes were '''[[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''' and eliminating the November 2015 backlog. Of the 14 editors who signed up, nine editors completed 29 articles. Barnstars and rollover totals are located [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/December_2016/Barnstars|here]]. Thanks to all who took part.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2017|January drive]]''': The January drive was a great success. We set out to remove '''December 2015 and January and February 2016''' from our backlog (195 articles), and by 22 January we had cleared those and had to add a third month (March 2016). At the end of the month we had almost cleared out that last month as well, for a total of 180 old articles removed from the backlog! '''We reduced our overall backlog by 337 articles, to a low of 1,465 articles''', our second-lowest month-end total ever. We also handled all of the remaining requests from December 2016. Officially, 19 editors recorded 337 copy edits (over 679,000 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2017|February blitz]]:''' The one-week February blitz, focusing on the remaining [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit from March 2016|March 2016 backlog]] and [[WP:GOCE/REQ#January 2017|January 2017 requests]], ran from 12 to 18 February. Seven editors reduced the total in those two backlog segments from 32 to 10 articles, leaving us in good shape going in to the March drive. 

'''Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017''': In December, '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2017/1|coordinators for the first half of 2017]]''' were elected. Jonesey95 stepped aside as lead coordinator, remaining as coordinator and allowing Miniapolis to be the lead, and Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators. Thanks to all who participated!

Speaking of coordinators, '''congratulations to {{noping|Jonesey95}}''' on their well-deserved '''induction into the [[WP:GOCE/HOF|Guild of Copy Editors Hall of Fame]]'''. The plaque reads: "For dedicated service as lead coordinator (2014, 1 July – 31 December 2015 and all of 2016) and coordinator (1 January – 30 June 2015 and 1 January – 30 June 2017); exceptional template-creation work (considerably streamlining project administration), and their emphasis on keeping the GOCE a drama-free zone."

'''Housekeeping note:''' We do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Ombox|the GOCE's message box]]''' to your watchlist. 

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Corinne}} and {{noping|Tdslk}}.

Hello copy editors! Welcome to the December 2017 GOCE newsletter, which contains nine months(!) of updates. The Guild has been busy and successful; your diligent efforts in 2017 has brought the backlog of articles requiring copy edit to '''below 1,000 articles for the first time'''.  Thanks to all editors who have contributed their time and energy to help make this happen.

{{center|<big>[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2018/1|>>> Participate in the Coordinator Elections! <<<]]</big>}}

Our copy-editing drives (month-long backlog-reduction drives held in odd-numbered months) and blitzes (week-long themed editing in even-numbered months) have been very successful this year. 

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2017|March drive]]''': We set out to remove '''April, May, and June 2016''' from our backlog and all '''February 2017 [[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''' (a total of {{#expr:248+56}}&nbsp;articles).  By the end of the month, all but 22 of these articles were cleared.  Officially, of the 28 who signed up, 22&nbsp;editors recorded 257 copy edits (439,952 words). (These numbers do not always make sense when you compare them to the overall reduction in the backlog, because not all editors record every copy edit on the drive page.)

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/April 2017|April blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 April; the theme was '''Requests'''.  Of the 15 who signed up, 9&nbsp;editors completed 43&nbsp;articles (81,822 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2017|May drive]]''': The goals were to remove '''July, August, and September 2016''' from the backlog and to complete all '''March 2017 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:286+14}}&nbsp;articles).  By the end of the month, '''we had reduced our overall backlog to an all-time low of 1,388 articles'''.  Of the 28 who signed up, 17 editors completed 187 articles (321,810 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2017|June blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 18 through 24 June; the theme was '''Requests'''.  Of the 16 who signed up, 9 editors completed 28 copy edits (117,089 words).

'''2017 Coordinator elections''': In June, '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2017/2|coordinators for the second half of 2017]]''' were elected. Jonesey95 moved back into the lead coordinator position, with Miniapolis stepping down to remain as coordinator; Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators, and Keira1996 rejoined after an extended absence. Thanks to all who participated!

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2017|July drive]]''': We set out to remove '''August, September, October, and November 2016''' from the backlog and to complete all '''May and June 2017 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:216+26}} articles).  The drive was an enormous success, and the target was nearly achieved within three weeks, so that '''December 2016''' was added to the "old articles" list used as a goal for the drive.  By the end of the month, only ''three'' articles from 2016 remained, and for the second drive in a row, the backlog was reduced to a new all-time low, this time to '''1,363 articles'''.  Of the 33 who signed up, 21 editors completed 337 articles (556,482 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2017|August blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 20 through 26 August; the theme was '''biographical articles tagged for copy editing for more than six months''' (47&nbsp;articles).  Of the 13 who signed up, 11 editors completed 38 copy edits (42,589 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2017|September drive]]''':  The goals were to remove '''January, February, and March 2017''' from the backlog and to complete all '''August 2017 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:306+32}}&nbsp;articles).  Of the 19 who signed up, 14 editors completed 121 copy edits (267,227 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/October 2017|October blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 22 through 28 October; the theme was '''Requests'''.  Of the 14 who signed up, 8 editors completed 20 articles (55,642 words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2017|November drive]]''': We set out again to remove '''January, February, and March 2017''' from the backlog and to complete all '''October 2017 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:174+33}}&nbsp;articles).  By the end of the month, these goals were reached and '''the backlog shrank to its lowest total ever, 997 articles''', the first time it had fallen under one thousand (click on the graph above to see this amazing feat in graphical form). It was also the first time that the oldest copy-edit tag was less than eight months old.  Of the 25 who signed up, 16 editors completed 159 articles (285,929 words).

'''2018 Coordinator elections''': Voting is open for the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2018/1|election of coordinators for the first half of 2018]]'''. Please visit the election page to vote between now and December 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Thanks for participating!

'''Housekeeping note:''' We do not send a newsletter before (or after) every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Ombox|the GOCE's message box]]''' to your watchlist.

We got to a great start for the year, holding the backlog at nine months. 100 requests were submitted in the first 6 weeks of the year<!--everything submitted before Feb 12--> and were swiftly handled with an average completion time of 9&nbsp;days.

{{center|<big>[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2018|>>> Sign up for the March Drive! <<<]]</big>}}

'''Coordinator elections''': In December, '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2018/1|coordinators for the first half of 2018]]''' were elected.

Officially, of the 38 who signed up, 21&nbsp;editors recorded 259 copy edits (490,256&nbsp;words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2018|February blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 February, focusing on '''Requests''' and the last articles tagged in '''May 2017'''.

Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Newsletters/February 2018|February edition]]. 
Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7&nbsp;months and reached a new all-time low.  '''[[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''' continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5&nbsp;days).  Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20&nbsp;days, and the longest wait time was 29&nbsp;days.

Wikipedia in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March of [[User talk:Corinne|Corinne]]. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2018|March drive]]''': The goal was to remove '''June, July and August 2017''' from our backlog and all '''February 2018 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:202+17}}&nbsp;articles).  This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared.  Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758&nbsp;words).<!--"official" results taken from the barnstars page-->

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/April 2018|April blitz]]''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21&nbsp;April, focusing on '''Requests''' and the last eight articles tagged in '''August 2017'''.  At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17&nbsp;days.  Of the nine editors who signed up, eight&nbsp;editors completed 22&nbsp;copy edits (62,412&nbsp;words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2018|May drive]]''': We set out to remove '''September, October and November 2017''' from our backlog and all '''April 2018 [[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''' (a total of {{#expr:271+27}}&nbsp;articles).  There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to a '''record low of 716 articles'''.  Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15&nbsp;editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813&nbsp;words).

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2018/2|Coordinator elections]]''': It's election time again.  '''Nominations''' for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59&nbsp;UTC on 15&nbsp;June.  All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged.  '''Voting''' will take place between 00:01&nbsp;UTC on 16&nbsp;June and 23:59&nbsp;UTC on 30&nbsp;June.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2018|June blitz]]''': Stay tuned for this one-week copy-editing blitz, which will take place in mid-June.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: {{red|Corinne}}, {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Reidgreg}} and {{noping|Tdslk}}.

Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2018. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2019, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.

'''January Drive:''' Thanks to everyone for the splendid work in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2019|'''January's Backlog Elimination Drive''']].  We removed copyedit tags from all of the articles tagged in our original target months of June, July and August 2018, and by 24 January we ran out of articles. After adding September, we finished the month with 8 target articles remaining and 842 left in the backlog. GOCE copyeditors also completed 48<!--in archives--> [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests|requests for copyedit]] in January. Of the 31 people who signed up for this drive, 24<!--excluding one editor whose attempted c/es weren't adequate --> copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2019/Barnstars|'''here''']].

'''Blitz:''' Thanks to everyone who participated in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2019|'''February Blitz''']].

Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2019/Barnstars|'''here''']].

'''Progress report:''' As of 23:39, 18 March 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have completed 108 requests since 1 January and the backlog stands at 851 articles.<!--Coords can update or remove this line before sending the newsletter. -->

'''March Drive''': The month-long [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2019|'''March drive''']] is now underway; the target months are October and November 2018. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March_2019#Signing_up|'''Sign up here''']]!

'''Election reminder''': It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators|Coordinators]] normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2019/2|here]].

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}, {{noping|Jonesey95}},  {{noping|Reidgreg}} and {{noping|Tdslk}}.

Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June&nbsp;2019.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2019/2|June election]]:''' Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated!

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2019|'''June Blitz''']]: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests|requests]]. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2019/Barnstars|here]].

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2019|'''July Drive''']]: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of '''585 articles''' while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May&nbsp;2015. Final results and awards are listed [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2019/Barnstars|here]].

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2019|'''August Blitz''']]: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March&nbsp;2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2019/Barnstars|here]].

'''Progress report:''' As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585.

'''[[WP:GOCER|Requests page]]:''' We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests&oldid=917208048#Bot_integration? on REQ Talk (permalinked)] initiated by [[User:Bobbychan193|Bobbychan193]] has resulted in [[User:Zhuyifei1999|Zhuyifei1999]] writing [[toolforge:yifeibot/enwiki_gce_archive.py.txt|a bot script]] for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3&nbsp;October; for this reason, '''no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over'''. We will then [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/YiFeiBot 2|assess the bot's performance]] and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2019|'''September Drive''']]: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today!

Hello and welcome to the December 2019 GOCE newsletter, an update of Guild happenings since the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Newsletters/September 2019|September edition]]. Our Annual Report should be ready in late January.

[[File:Copyeditors progress.png|right|thumb]]

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Coordinators/2020/1|Election time]]''': Nominations for the election of a new tranche of Guild coordinators to serve for the first half of 2020 will be open from 1 to 15&nbsp;December. Voting will then take place and the election will close on 31&nbsp;December at 23:59 UTC. Positions for Guild coordinators, who perform the important behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our project running smoothly, are open to all Wikipedians in good standing. We welcome self-nominations so please consider nominating yourself if you've ever thought about helping out; it's ''your'' Guild and it doesn't run itself!

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2019|'''September Drive''']]: Of the thirty-two editors who signed up, twenty-three editors copy edited at least one article; they completed 39 requests and removed 138 articles from the backlog, bringing the backlog to a low of 519 articles.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/October 2019|October Blitz]]''': This event ran from 13 to 19 October, with themes of science, technology and transport articles tagged for copy edit, and Requests. Sixteen editors helped remove 29 articles from the backlog and completed 23 requests.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2019|'''November Drive''']]''': Of the twenty-eight editors who signed up for this event, twenty editors completed at least one copy edit; they completed 29 requests and removed 133 articles from the backlog.

Our '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2019|December Blitz]]''' will run from 15 to 21 December. Sign up now!

'''Progress report''': From September to November 2019, GOCE copy editors processed 154 requests<!--includes 7 declined or withdrawn-->. Over the same period, the backlog of articles tagged for copy editing was reduced by 41% to an '''all-time low of 479 articles'''.

'''Request archiving''': The archiving of completed requests has now been automated. Thanks to {{noping|Zhuyifei1999}} and {{noping|Bobbychan193}}, '''{{noping|YiFeiBot}}''' is now archiving the [[WP:GOCER|Requests page]]. Archiving occurs around 24&nbsp;hours after a user's signature and one of the templates '''{{tl|Done}}''', '''{{tl|Withdrawn}}''' or '''{{tl|Declined}}''' are placed below the request. The bot uses the Guild's standard "purpose codes" to determine the way it should archive each request so it's important to use the [[Template:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests|correct codes and templates]]. 

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators; {{noping|Reidgreg}}, {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}, {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Tdslk}} and {{noping|Twofingered Typist}}.

Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December&nbsp;2019. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2020, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Coordinators/2020/1|Election results]]''': There was little changeover in the roster of Guild Coordinators, with Miniapolis stepping down with distinction as a ''coordinator emeritus'' while Jonesey95 returned as lead coordinator.  The next election is scheduled for June&nbsp;2020 and all Wikipedians in good standing may participate.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2020|January Drive]]''': Thanks to everyone for the splendid work, completing 215 copy edits including 56 articles from the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests|Requests page]] and 116 backlog articles from the target months of June to August&nbsp;2019. At the conclusion of the drive there was a '''record low of 323 articles''' in the copy editing backlog. Of the 27 editors who signed up for the drive, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2020/Barnstars|here]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2020|February Blitz]]''': Of the 15 editors who signed up for this one-week blitz, 13 completed at least one copy edit. A total of 32 articles were copy edited, evenly split between the twin goals of requests and the oldest articles from the copy-editing backlog. Full results are [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/February 2020/Barnstars|here]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2020|March Drive]]''': Currently underway, this event is targeting requests and backlog articles from September to November&nbsp;2019. As of 18&nbsp;March, the backlog stands at a '''record low of 253 articles''' and is expected to drop further as the drive progresses. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Help set a new record and sign up now!

'''Progress report:''' As of 18 March, GOCE copyeditors have completed 161 requests in 2020 and there was a net reduction of 385 articles from the copy-editing backlog&nbsp;– a 60% decrease from the beginning of the year. Well done and thank you everyone!<!--Coords can update or remove this line before sending the newsletter. -->

'''Election reminder''': It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1&nbsp;June. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators|Coordinators]] normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2020/2|here]].

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Baffle gab1978}},  {{noping|Reidgreg}}, {{noping|Tdslk}} and {{noping|Twofingered Typist}}

The '''Harley J.

It is named after influential [[Automobile design|automobile designer]] [[Harley Earl]], who served as the second commissioner of NASCAR. Earl has been known as the so-called "father of the [[Chevrolet Corvette|Corvette]]" and designer of the [[General Motors Firebird|Firebird I prototype]] that adorns the trophy. The trophy is kept on display at the [[Daytona International Speedway]], while a small replica is given to each Daytona 500 winner. <small>'''([[Harley J. Earl Trophy|Read more...]])'''</small>

Hello and welcome to the June newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Newsletters/March 2020|March 2020]]. You can unsubscribe from our mailings at any time; see below. All times and dates stated are in [[Universal Coordinated Time|UTC]].

<div style="text-align: center;">'''Current events'''</div>

'''Election time:''' Nomination of candidates in our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2020/2|'''mid-year Election of Coordinators''']] opened on 1&nbsp;June, and voting will take place from 00:01 on 16&nbsp;June. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators|GOCE coordinators]] normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, or you know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2020/2|here]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2020|June Blitz]]''': This blitz begins at 00:01 on 14 June and ends at 23:59 on 20 June, with themes of [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit from May 2020|articles tagged for copyedit in May 2020]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests|requests]].

<div style="text-align: center;">'''Drive and blitz reports'''</div>

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2020|March Drive]]''': [[Self-isolation]] from [[2019–20 coronavirus pandemic|coronavirus]] may have played a hand in making this one of our most successful backlog elimination drives.  The copy-editing backlog was reduced from 477 to a '''record low of 118 articles''', a 75% reduction. The last four months of 2019 were cleared, reducing the backlog to three months. Fifty requests were also completed, and the total word count of copy-edited articles was 759,945. Of the 29 editors who signed up, 22 completed at least one copy edit. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2020/Barnstars|here]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/April 2020|April Blitz]]''': This blitz ran from 12 to 18&nbsp;April with a theme of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Indian military history task force|Indian military history]]. Of the 18 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed a total of 60 copyedits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/April 2020/Barnstars|here]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2020|May Drive]]''':  This event marked the 10th anniversary of the GOCE's copy-editing drives, and set a goal of diminishing the backlog to just one month of articles, as close to zero articles as possible. '''We achieved the goal of eliminating all articles that had been tagged prior to the start of the drive, for the first time in our history!''' Of the 51 editors who signed up, 43 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2020/Barnstars|here]].

<div style="text-align: center;">'''Other news'''</div>

'''Progress report''': as of 2&nbsp;June, GOCE participants had processed 328 requests since 1&nbsp;January, which puts us on pace to exceed any previous year's number of requests. As of the end of the May drive, the backlog stood at just 156 articles, all tagged in May 2020.

'''Outreach''': To mark the 10th anniversary of our first Backlog Elimination Drive, [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost|''The Signpost'']] contributor and GOCE participant {{noping|Puddleglum2.0}} interviewed project coordinators and copy-editors for the journal's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2020-04-26/WikiProject_report|April WikiProject Report]]. The Drive and the current Election of Coordinators have also been covered in ''The Signpost''{{'s}} [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2020-05-31/News and notes|May News and Notes page]].

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}, {{noping|Reidgreg}}, {{noping|Tdslk}} and {{noping|Twofingered Typist}}.

Table reflects values at 8:00 PM Eastern on July 30.<br>'''Monthly goal: Find the backstory.''' All too often, pages about drivers, teams or tracks have only content about NASCAR's top three national series. To improve article quality, information about other series or events that those drivers, teams and tracks are involved in should be added, backed up by reliable sources.

Table reflects values at 7:00 PM Eastern on August 31.<br>'''Monthly goal: Focus on the sources.''' In the thick of Silly Season, it is easy for random people to make a website, perpetuate a rumor, and have that be picked up here. Two sites that have proven to be big on rumors before, and sometimes eating it in a big way, are Beyond the Flag and TobyChristie.com. Please use other sources, such as NASCAR.com, Jayski.com, or team/driver releases as citations in articles. Additionally, there has been a decline in the quality of the new work being generated by the project. New content, related to silly season or not, should always be reliably sourced so we can avoid the ugly <nowiki>{{refimprove}}</nowiki> tags at the top of articles.

Hello and welcome to the September [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Newsletters|GOCE newsletter]], a brief update of Guild activities since [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Newsletters/June 2020|June&nbsp;2020]].

{{Center|{{spaces|17|em}}'''Current and upcoming events'''}}
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2020|'''September Drive''']]: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today!

'''Election reminder''': [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2021/1|our end-of-year Election of Coordinators]] opens for nominations on 1 December. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Coordinators/2021/1#Nominations|here]]. 

{{Center|'''Drive and Blitz reports'''}}
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2020|'''June Blitz''']]: An uncorrected typo (even copy editors make copy editing mistakes!) led to an eight-day "leap blitz" from 14 to 21&nbsp;June, focusing on [[WP:GOCER|requests]] and articles tagged in May. 19&nbsp;participating editors claimed 54 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/June 2020/Barnstars|here]].

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2020|'''July Drive''']]: Over 750,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event, keeping pace with the previous three [[self-isolation|self-isolated]] drives. Of the 38 people who signed up, 30 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2020/Barnstars|here]].

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2020|'''August Blitz''']]: From 16 to 22&nbsp;August, we copy edited articles tagged in June and July&nbsp;2020 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 37 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2020/Barnstars|here]].

{{Center|'''Other news'''}}
'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2020/2|June election]]:''' Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Baffle gab1978, Tdslk, Twofingered Typist, and first-time coordinator Puddleglum2.0. {{noping|Reidgreg}} took a break after serving for a couple years. Thanks to everyone who participated!

'''Progress report:''' As of 01:33, 18 September 2020 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 532 requests since 1 January and there were 38 requests awaiting completion on the [[WP:GOCE/R|Requests page]].  The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above).

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}, {{noping|Puddleglum2.0}}, {{noping|Tdslk}} and {{noping|Twofingered Typist}}.

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2021/2|June election]]:''' Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis.

'''New maintenance template''' added to our project scope: After a short [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Archives/2021#Minor_backlogs|discussion in June]], we added {{tl|cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Backlog_elimination_drives/July_2021|link to a "tense" discussion during the drive]]).

It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19&nbsp;November of [[User:Twofingered Typist|Twofingered Typist]], who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is [[Wikipedia:Deceased_Wikipedians/2021#Christopher_Kent_Keen_(Twofingered_Typist)|sorely missed by the Wikipedia community]].
