November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive Conclusion

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have reached the end of our fourth backlog elimination drive. Thanks to all who participated. Stats 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. Check out the complete list of barnstar winners here. Barnstars 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 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 the Wikification drive or any of the other places where help with backlogs is needed. Thank you for participating in the last 2010 backlog elimination drive! We look forward to seeing you in January!

UNESCO regions

Hi, it's me again. Regarding this discussion and your statement: "...this is simply the way UNESCO decided to sort them out. We should be following the classification in which it is clearly given by the creator of the list in question.", I am now a bit confused. It seems that UNESCO joins Europe and North America. Should we do the same on wikipedia? bamse (talk) 21:54, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

BTW, is there any reference to these regions on the UNESCO world heritage sites (i.e. below: " UNESCO » Culture » World Heritage Centre")? So far I only found it under "UNESCO » Worldwide". bamse (talk) 01:24, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

GOCE January Backlog elimination drive conclusion

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive Greetings from the January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! We have reached the end of the month and the end of another successful drive; thanks to all who participated. Statistics 54 people signed up for the year's first Backlog elimination drive. Of these, 40 participated. One of our goals was to reduce the size of the backlog by at least 10%. We managed to reduce the backlog by 633 articles, or about 12%. Another goal was to eliminate as many 2009 months as possible from the queue. We eliminated January, February, March, and April—4 out of 12 months is not bad! In addition, we eliminated 37% of all remaining 2009 articles from the queue. Chaosdruid copy edited Kutch Gurjar Kashtriya for 32,711 words, which is the largest single article completed in one of our drives so far. This article counts as six 5000-K articles, and Chaosdruid wins the "most 5000-K articles" leaderboard category. Way to go! A complete list of individual results is here. Barnstars If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the November 2010 Backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found here).

Please Peer Review Institute of Chartered Accountants of India

I am proposing to renominate Institute of Chartered Accountants of India as a Good Article Nominee. Before doing so, inoder to make the GA review smooth, I nominated Institute of Chartered Accountants of India for peer review. But for more than a week, I have not got any reply on the peer review page. Hence I humbly request you to reply on the peer review page of the article on whether the article meets the GA criteria.
