This Copy Editing Project Blitz was a one-week-long effort of the Guild of Copy Editors to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy editing; those carrying the {{tl|copyedit}} tag or listed on the GOCE Requests page. It began on 15 December 2024, at 00:00 (UTC) and ended on 21 December 2024, at 23:59 (UTC).
The theme of this blitz was:
- The articles from our backlog: July 2023 and August 2023
- New Wikipedia copy editors (welcome!) are advised to focus their efforts on these backlog articles.
- October and November 2024 requests; GANs and FACs should be copyedited by experienced editors.
- Please note: it is very important that articles listed on the Request page are skillfully and fully copy-edited; many of these will be reviewed for Good Article or Featured Article status. If you have any questions or comments about the article you're copy-editing, please ask on the blitz's talk page.
Blitz participants could earn barnstar awards based on the number of articles—and the word counts of the articles—they copy edit. 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 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.
Blitzes are under the purview of the Guild's coordinators. The blitz's lead coordinator is Dhtwiki (talk), who is assisted by Miniapolis (talk), Mox Eden (talk), and Wracking (talk). If you have any questions, leave a message on the blitz's talk page.
For brief instructions on how to record your work, see below. For full instructions, visit the main blitz 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|colwidth=20em}}
{{div col end}}

Totals
How to record articles you have copy edited:
- Remove any extant {{tl|copyedit}} 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}}.
- 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.
- If you want your work checked, you can request this on the blitz talk page.
Properly completed records look like this in the edit window:

and like this on the rendered page:
