Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up

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 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 September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote.

Struck me funny

Resolved
 – Just a chat.

Haven't read the discussion, but I have to admit, just reading your comment (saw your edit summary on my watchlist and had to go look) struck me funny : ) - jc37 02:46, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

<shrug> I've re-re-re-read it, and it does appear to say "the only error I ever make is thinking I erred". Not sure what else to say. PS: The funny thing is, about 2 or 3 years back, I used "WTF?" as an edit summary about something equally perplexing, and some third party editor wrote to me, "Watch your language!". That's deep, deep into "unclear on the concept" territory! I think on my userpage I have that in my list of funniest WP stuff. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ   Contrib. 03:14, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

WP:CAPS

Resolved
 – Just a chat.

Thanks for disambiguating this shortcut! It never made sense to have WP:CAPS and MOS:CAPS pointing to different pages, but the former shortcut has probably been around too long to just change the destination now. Good solution. --BDD (talk) 15:13, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles - Participant Clean-up (Second Call)

Stuck
 – I oppose removing editors from a project just because someone has arbitrarily decided they think the editors aren't active enough. In protest, I thus decline to sign up for the project via this bogus process. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ   Contrib. 18:40, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

You are reciving this message because you have not added your name to the list of active WikiProject Good Articles participants. Though you may have recived the first message sent out in September, some users may have had that message archived before coming online to read it and therefore never saw it. If you are deeming yourself inactive with the WikiProject please disregard this message as your name will be moved to an "inactive participant" list at the end of the clean-up. If you are still active with the WikiProject, please be sure to include your name on this list. The current deadline to add your name to the list (if you are still active) is November 1, 2012. A third and final message will be sent out during the last week of the clean-up before the deadline. Thank-you.--EdwardsBot

Fall Events from the Guild of Copy Editors

The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in its events:

  • The 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 September 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest. Everyone is welcome to vote, whether they have entered the contest or not.
  • NEW!! In the week from Sunday 21 October to Saturday 27 October, we are holding a Project Blitz, in which we will copy edit articles tagged with {{copyedit}} belonging to selected project(s). For the first blitz, we'll start with WikiProject Olympics and 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.
  • 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!
