== [[WP:ADOPT|Adopt-a-user]] ==

[[Image:Presa de decissions.png|left|90 px|link=]]
Hi MikeLynch. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved as an adopter with Wikipedia's [[WP:ADOPT|Adopt-a-user]] program. A clean-up of this program is currently underway, and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is and isn't still interested in remaining an adopter.

If you would prefer not to be part of the adoption program anymore, you need do nothing; when the overhaul of the project is completed your name will be removed from the list of active adopters. However, if you have current adoptees, an active adoption school or an interest in adopting in the near future, then please let us know by signing [[User:Yunshui/Overhaul/Adopters staying on|here]]. 

If you want to remain in the project and can currently take on ''more'' adoptees, there is a serious backlog at [[:Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user]]; it would be enormously helpful if you could take on one or two of the users there. Please do keep an eye on the project for upcoming changes, we could use your opinions and your help!

'''Participation:''' Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2012/Barnstars|here]].

'''Progress report:''' We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September.

'''Copy Edit of the Month''': Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Copy Edit of the Month/September 2012|September 2012 contest]] is closed for submissions and open for voting. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Copy Edit of the Month/October 2012|October 2012 contest]] is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote.

[[File:Writing Magnifying.PNG|100px|right]]
The '''[[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]]''' invites you to participate in its events:
*The '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Copy Edit of the Month/October 2012|October 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest]]''' is currently in the submissions stage.  Submit your best October copy edit there before the end of the month.  Submissions end, and discussion and voting begin, on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC).
*Voting is in progress for the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Copy Edit of the Month/September 2012|September 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest]]'''. Everyone is welcome to vote, whether they have entered the contest or not.
*{{Hilite|'''NEW!!'''}} In the week from Sunday 21 October to Saturday 27 October, we are holding a '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/October 2012|Project Blitz]]''', in which we will copy edit articles tagged with {{tl|copyedit}} belonging to selected project(s). For the first blitz, we'll start with [[WP:WikiProject Olympics|WikiProject Olympics]] and [[WP:WikiProject Albums|WikiProject Albums]] and add more Projects to the blitz as we clear them. The blitz works much like our bimonthly drives, but a bit simpler. Everyone is welcome to take part, and barnstars will be awarded.
*'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2012|November 2012 Backlog elimination drive]]''' is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in 2011 and to complete all requests placed before the end of October. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits 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 of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: [[User:Stfg|Stfg]], [[User:Allens|Allens]], and [[User:Torchiest|Torchiest]].

If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. {{nowrap|[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2012#Signing up|Join us]]!}}
*'''Progress report''': We're on track to meet our targets for the drive. We have reduced our target group of articles—November and December 2011—by over 50%, and 34 of the the 56 requests made in September and October this year have already been fulfilled. However, the rate of tagging for copy edit has increased, and this month we are just keeping the size of the backlog stable. So, all you copy editors, please do come along and help us!

Runner up was [[User:Gareth Griffith-Jones|Gareth Griffith-Jones]] for his edit of [[I Could Fall in Love]]. Congratulations to both.

*'''Seasonal oversight''': We had a slight fall from grace in the title of our last newletter, which mentioned the season in the northern hemisphere and thus got it wrong for the southern. Fortunately an observant GOCE member was ready to spring into action to advise us. Thanks! In future we'll stay meteorologically neutral.

'''Participation:''' Thanks to all who participated! Out of 38 people who signed up this drive, 33 copy-edited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2012/Barnstars|here]]. All the barnstars have now been distributed.

'''Progress report:''' We achieved our primary goal of clearing November and December 2011 from the backlog. For the first time since the drives began, the backlog consists only of articles tagged in the current year. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2690 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 56 requests outstanding before November 2012 as well as eight of those made in November.

'''Copy Edit of the Month''': Voting is now over for the October 2012 competition, and [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Copy Edit of the Month/October 2012|prizes]] have been issued. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Copy Edit of the Month/November 2012|November 2012 contest]] is closed for submissions and open for voting. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Copy Edit of the Month/December 2012|December 2012 contest]] is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote.

[[File:Writing Magnifying.PNG|100px|right]]
The '''[[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]]''' invites you to participate in its events:
*The '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Copy Edit of the Month/December 2012|December 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest]]''' is currently in the submissions stage.  Submit your best December copy edit there before the end of the month.  Submissions end, and discussion and voting begin, on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC).
*Voting is in progress for the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Copy Edit of the Month/November 2012|November 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest]]'''. Everyone is welcome to vote, whether they have entered the contest or not.
*From Sunday 16 December to Saturday 22 December, we are holding a '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2012|Project Blitz]]''', in which we will copy edit articles tagged with {{tl|copyedit}} from January 2012. The blitz works much like our bimonthly drives, but a bit simpler. Everyone is welcome to take part, and barnstars will be awarded.
*'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2013|January 2013 Backlog elimination drive]]''' is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in January, February, and March 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2012. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits 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 of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in January, February, and March 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: [[User:Stfg|Stfg]], [[User:Allens|Allens]], and [[User:Torchiest|Torchiest]].
