This '''Copy Editing Project Blitz''' was a '''one-week-long''' effort of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors|'''Guild of Copy Editors''']] to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy editing; <!--adjust this text as applicable for this blitz-->those carrying the {{tl|copyedit}} tag or listed on the [[WP:GOCE/REQ|GOCE Requests page]]. It began on 13 August 2023, at 00:00 (UTC) and ended on 19 August 2023, at 23:59 (UTC).

The theme(s) of this blitz is/are:
* The articles from our backlog: [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit from August 2022|August]] and [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit from September 2022|September]] 2022
** New Wikipedia copy editors (welcome!) are advised to focus their efforts on these backlog articles. 
* [[WP:GOCE/REQ#June 2023|Requests]] from June and July 2023; GANs and FACs should be copyedited by experienced editors.
**'''Please note:''' it is very important that articles listed on the Request page are skillfully and fully copy-edited; many of these will be reviewed for [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|Good Article]] or [[WP:Featured article criteria|Featured Article]] status. If you have any questions or comments about the article you're copy-editing, please ask on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2023|blitz's talk page]].

Blitz participants earn barnstar awards based on the number of articles—and the word counts of the articles—they copy edit. Awards will be given out once the blitz is finished.

The blitz is open to all; you don't have to be a member of the [[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]] to participate. You must, however, be competent in your use of English grammar, spelling, and punctuation. We strongly advise you to read Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Basic copyediting|guide to basic copy editing]] before you begin working. If you're unsure about spelling, grammar, or punctuation, consult the [[WP:MOS|Wikipedia Manual of Style]]. Skilled use of English is especially important for articles listed on the Requests page.

Blitzes are under the purview of the Guild's [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators|coordinators]]. The blitz's lead coordinator is [[User:Dhtwiki|Dhtwiki]] ([[User talk:Dhtwiki|talk]]), who is assisted by [[User:Miniapolis|Miniapolis]] ([[User talk:Miniapolis|talk]]) and [[User:Zippybonzo|Zippybonzo]] ([[User talk:Zippybonzo|talk]]). If you have any questions, leave a message on the blitz's [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2023|talk page]].

==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 {{tl|checked}} template after the article on the listing and sign your username with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If a rough consensus finds that a copy edit is not of an acceptable standard, the tag will be re-added and the word count of the reviewed article will be deducted from the editor's total. The reviewer may give advice on how the edit could have been improved without penalizing the editor. Please raise any questions on the [[WT:GOCE/COORD|Coordinators' talk page]].

===Reviewers sign-up===
<!--Add your username, using a # sign followed by three tildes (~~~), to the BOTTOM of the list-->

==Totals==
How to record articles you have copy edited:
* Remove any extant {{tl|copyedit}} tags from the article.
* When you sign up, your section is automatically populated with {{Green|<nowiki># {{Working}} [[]] () </nowiki>}} and {{Green|<nowiki># {{Completed}} [[]] ()</nowiki>}}:
** Article titles go in wikilinks {{Green|<nowiki>[[]]</nowiki>}}. List the article's full title, not an abbreviated version.
** Article word counts go in round brackets {{Green|()}}: use [[User:Dr pda/prosesize|this script]] to get the page's word count. Count the words in the version of the article that existed <em>before</em> you started editing. These brackets should not contain anything other than this number.
* Place the article you are editing on the {{tl|Working}} line. Only work on one article at a time. When you've finished your copy edit, change {{tl|Working}} to {{tl|Completed}}.
* Place any comments between the article title and the word count.
* Do not list articles on which you have placed {{tl|GOCEreviewed}} instead of copy editing them, or which needed no copy editing.
* If you want your work checked, you can request this on the blitz talk page.

Properly completed records look like this in the edit window:
:{{Green|<nowiki># {{Completed}} [[Dark chocolate]] (yummy!) (1,234)</nowiki>}}
and like this on the rendered page:
:{{Green|1. {{Completed}} [[Dark chocolate]] (yummy!) (1,234)}}
