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 copyediting, signified with the {{copyedit}} tag. Please make sure that you know how to copyedit and that you are familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style before you begin copyediting. The drives are under the purview of the Guild's coordinators. The lead coordinator is SMasters (talk), and he is assisted by Diannaa (Talk), The UtahraptorTalk, and Tea with toast (talk). If you have any questions, leave a message on the drive's talk page. This drive began on 1 January 2011 00:00 UTC and ended on 31 January 2011 23:59 UTC.
The goals of this backlog elimination drive were to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 articles and to reduce the overall backlog by 10%. We also want to make sure the Requests page is dealt with during the drive, but we will not be awarding double word count this month for articles from the Requests page. Articles from that source will count towards your total whether they have a copy edit tag on them or not, so please feel free to select from there when you are in the mood for a better-quality article to edit. Awards will be given out to those individuals who help reduce the size of the backlog.
The backlog elimination drive is open to all, and you do not need to be a member of the Guild of Copy Editors to participate. However, you may want to consider joining, as membership has its benefits. For example, you can place a special "page in use" tag when you are copyediting, and another tag on the talk page when you finish. Please visit the Guild or the main drive page for more information.
Full instructions, tips and awards
[edit]Full instructions for participants, tips, help for new copyeditors, 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.

You can still join! Feel free to put your name down at any time. Read the directions, and then add your name in the Totals below, and to the Participants list at the bottom of the page.
Directions
[edit]Copy and paste the following into the Totals sections below, placing your entry alphabetically.
=====~~~===== {{GOCE Article list |articles = # {{Completed}} # {{Working}} |total-articles = 0 |total-words = 0 |rollover-words = 0 }} ----
Rollover is an element introduced in the September 2010 drive. To calculate your rollover, take your November word count, subtract the award words from it, and enter the difference in the "rollover-words" field. For example, if User A copy-edits 14,503 words in November, they would be awarded the Cleanup Barnstar (12,000 words). Thus, they should subtract 12,000 from 14,503, which yields 2,503. That would be the rollover number. Please do not add rollover into the "total-words" field. We'll do the calculating for you. You can obtain your current rollover word count from this document.
Save the page, and add all your copy-editing totals directly to that new section. Here is an example of how to post your articles to your tally:
=====[[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]])===== {{GOCE Article list |articles = # {{Completed}} [[Example]] (546) # {{Working}} |total-articles = 1 |total-words = 546 |rollover-words = 0 }} ----

Reviewing
[edit]Diannaa (Talk) will chair this group. The committee aims to inspect articles at random for quality control purposes. If you are interested in participating, please sign up below.
Procedure
[edit]10% of a copy-editing participant's copy-edits should be inspected. Please choose articles at random, and do not inspect articles you have copy-edited yourself. After checking an article, place a {{checked}} mark after the article on the listing and sign your username. If a rough consensus finds a copyedit is not of an acceptable standard, the tag will be re-added and the reviewer will be assessed a penalty of 1,200 words plus the length of the article reviewed. The reviewer may also give advice on how the edit could have been better, without penalising the editor. Please direct any questions to Diannaa (Talk).
