==Grab some glory, and a barnstar==
Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2010‎|Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive]]. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the <nowiki>{{copyedit}}</nowiki> tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. <big>[[User:Noraft|<span style="color:green;">ɳorɑfʈ</span>]]</big><small><sup>[[User talk:Noraft| Talk!]]</sup></small> 15:00, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

{{ombox|type=content|text=Discussions are underway to elect our inaugural group of GOCE Coordinators. Guild members and Drive participants are invited  to have a look at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators|Coordinators page]] and join the discussion on its associated [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators|talk page]].}}

We have reached the midway point in our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2010|backlog elimination drive]], so here is an update.

'''Participation report''' — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2010|not too late to join]]!'''

'''Progress report''' — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests|Requests page]] clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive.

Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{tp|cleanup}}, {{tp|wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

We have reached the end of our fourth backlog elimination drive. Thanks to all who participated.

<big>'''Stats'''</big>

[[File:GOCE Nov 2010 drive.gif|thumb|right|GOCE November 2010 backlog elimination drive graphs]]
*58 people signed up for this drive. Of these, 48 people participated in the drive.
*Although we did not eliminate the months we planned to (January, February, and March 2009; and  August, September, and October 2010), we did reduce the backlog by 627 articles (11.2%), which was over our goal of 10%.
*49 awards will go out to 33 of 48 participants. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2010/Barnstars|Check out the complete list of barnstar winners here.]]

<big>'''Barnstars'''</big>

If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the September 2010 backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives#Roll-over words|here]]). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering these barnstars within the next couple of weeks.

Our next drive is scheduled for January 2011. In the meantime, please consider helping out at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify/Drives/2010/December|the Wikification drive]] or any of the other places where [[Wikipedia:Contribution Team/Backlogs|help with backlogs is needed]].

Thank you for participating in the last 2010 backlog elimination drive! We look forward to seeing you in January!

So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2011#Participants|sign up now]]'''. </br>

;Progress report

We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal. 

Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success!

Greetings from the [[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012|March 2012 Backlog elimination drive]]! Here's the mid-drive newsletter.</br>

'''Participation''':
We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012#Participants|Join us]]!

'''Progress report''':
Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far.

'''Special thanks''':
Special thanks to [[User:Stfg|Stfg]], who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.

Greetings from the [[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012|March 2012 Backlog elimination drive]]! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter.</br>

'''Participation'''

Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to '''[[User:Lfstevens|Lfstevens]]''', who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months.

'''Progress report'''

During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/March 2012/Barnstars|here]].

When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{tp|GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators.

Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

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]].

*'''Participation''': Out of 30 people who have signed up for this drive so far, 18 have participated. If you have signed up for the drive but have not yet participated, it isn't too late. If you haven't signed up for the drive, sign up now!
[[File:We Can Do It!.jpg|100px|right]]

*'''Progress report''': Thus far we have reduced the number of May/June 2012 articles to just 124 articles, so we're on the right track. Unfortunately, for the first time in GOCE history, the number of articles in the backlog has actually gone up during this drive. While all participants are currently doing a fine job, we just don't have as many of them as we have had in the past.  We have over 500 editors on our mailing list, but only 18 editors who have done a copy edit for the drive. If you're receiving this newsletter, it's because you have an interest in copy editing. Join the drive! Even if you only copy edit one article, it helps.  Imagine how much progress we could make if everyone chipped in just one article.

|<big>'''December Notes from the [[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]]'''</big>
----
[[File:Writing Magnifying.PNG|100px|right]]
The '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2013|December blitz]]''' ran from December 8–14.  The theme for this blitz was articles tied in some way to religion.  Seven editors knocked out 20 articles over the course of the week.  Our next blitz will be in February, with a theme to be determined.  Feel free to make theme suggestions at the [[WT:GOCE|Guild talk page]]!

The '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/January 2014|January 2014 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 October and November 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2013. 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 October and November 2012", and "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}}.
