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 coordinator for this drive was ɳorɑfʈ Talk! and he was assisted by S Masters (talk) and Diannaa (Talk) (Diannaa will be away from Sept 5 to Sept 13). If you have any questions, leave a message in the drive's talk page. This drive began on 1 September 2010 00:00 UTC and ended on 30 Sept 2010 23:59 UTC.
The goals of this backlog elimination drive were to completely wipe out 2008 from the queue and to reduce the backlog to fewer than 5,000 articles. 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 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.

Running total[edit]
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 a newly introduced element in this drive. To calculate your rollover, take your July 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 July, he was awarded the Cleanup Barnstar (12,000 words). Thus, he 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.
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) and ɳorɑfʈ Talk! will co-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. Please direct any questions to Diannaa (Talk) or ɳorɑfʈ Talk!.
