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 copy editing; those carrying the {{tl|copy edit}} tag (also {{Tl|awkward}}, {{Tl|copy edit section}}, {{Tl|copy edit inline}}, and {{Tl|spacing}}) or listed on the GOCE Requests page. It began on 1 November 2017, 00:00 (UTC) and ended on 30 November 2017, 23:59 (UTC). The goals of this drive were:
- to reduce the backlog by as many articles as possible, with a focus on the earliest-tagged articles (those tagged in January–March 2017);
- to complete all requests on the GOCE Requests page from October 2017.
Drive participants could earn barnstar awards based on the number of articles—and the word counts of the articles—they copy edit. Articles from the Requests page counted towards your total; these are generally higher-quality articles than those tagged with {{tl|copy edit}}. You received a bonus score of 50% over the article's word count for articles that were tagged with {{tl|copy edit}} in January–March 2017, and for articles listed on the Requests page. Awards will be given out once the drive has finished.
The drive was open to all Wikipedians; you don't have to be a member of the Guild of Copy Editors to participate. You must, however, be competent in your use of English grammar, spelling and punctuation. We strongly advise you to read Wikipedia's guide to basic copy editing before you begin working. If you're unsure about spelling, grammar or punctuation, consult the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Skilled use of English is especially important for articles listed on the Requests page.
Drives are under the purview of the Guild's coordinators. The drive's lead coordinator is Jonesey95 (talk), who is assisted by Corinne (talk), Keira1996 (talk), Miniapolis (talk), and Tdslk (talk). If you have any questions, leave a message on the drive's talk page.
For brief instructions on how to record your work, see below. For full instructions, visit the main drive page. Further details can be found on the drive FAQ page.

Reviewing
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 {{tl|checked}} template after the article on the listing and sign your username with four tildes (
=Reviewers sign-up=
{{div col|cols=2}}
{{div col end}}
Signing up
To sign up for the drive, click the button below. This will create a subsection in the Totals section where you will record your copy edits. Rollover totals from the previous drive are located here.

Totals
How to record articles you have copy edited:
- Remove any extant {{tl|copy edit}} tags from the article.
- When you sign up, your section is automatically populated with {{Green|
# {{Working}} () }} and {{Green|# {{Completed}} () }}: - Article titles go in wikilinks {{Green|
}}. List the article's full title, not an abbreviated version. - Article word counts go in round brackets {{Green|()}}: use this script to get the page's word count. Count the words in the version of the article that existed before you started editing. These brackets should not contain anything other than this number.
- Place the article you are editing on the {{tl|Working}} line. Only work on one article at a time. When you've finished your copy edit, change {{tl|Working}} to {{tl|Completed}}.
- If the article is from the GOCE Requests page, place {{Green|*R}} (using plain text) after the word count. If it was tagged in January–March 2017, place {{Green|*O}} (using plain text) after the word count.
- Place any comments between the article title and the word count.
- Do not list articles on which you have placed {{tl|GOCEreviewed}} instead of copy editing them, or which needed no copy editing.
- Do not add the 50% bonus for Requests or Oldest articles—a coordinator will apply the bonuses after the drive is over.
- If you want your work checked, you can request this on the drive talk page.
Properly completed records look like this in the edit window:
