ThisCopy Editing Project Blitzwas aone-week-longeffort of theGuild of Copy Editorsto reduce the backlog of articles that require copy editing; those carrying the{{copyedit}}tag or listed on theGOCE Requests page.It began on December 16, 2018, at 00:00 (UTC) and ended on December 22, 2018, at 23:59 (UTC).

The themes of this blitz were:

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

The blitz was open to all; you don't have to be a member of theGuild of Copy Editorsto participate. You must, however, be competent in your use of English grammar, spelling and punctuation. We strongly advise you to read Wikipedia'sguide to basic copy editingbefore you begin working. If you're unsure about spelling, grammar or punctuation, consult theWikipedia 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'scoordinators.The blitz's lead coordinator isReidgreg(talk), who is assisted byBaffle gab1978(talk),Jonesey95(talk),Miniapolis(talk) andTdslk(talk). If you have any questions, leave a message on the blitz'stalk page.

Reviewing

[edit]

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{{checked}}template after the article on the listing and sign your username with four tildes (~~~~). 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 theCoordinators' talk page.

How to record articles you have copy edited:

  • Remove any extant{{copyedit}}tags from the article.
  • When you sign up, your section is automatically populated with# {{Working}} [[]] ()and# {{Completed}} [[]] ():
    • Article titles go in wikilinks[[]].List the article's full title, not an abbreviated version.
    • Article word counts go in round brackets():usethis scriptto get the page's word count. Count the words in the version of the article that existedbeforeyou started editing. These brackets should not contain anything other than this number.
  • Place the article you are editing on the{{Working}}line. Only work on one article at a time. When you've finished your copy edit, change{{Working}}to{{Completed}}.
  • Place any comments between the article title and the word count.
  • Do not list articles on which you have placed{{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.
