GOCE May mid-drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors May 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter

Participation: Out of 49 people signed up for this drive so far, 26 have copy-edited at least one article. It's a smaller group than last drive, but we're making good progress. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us!

Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive, largely due to the efforts of Lfstevens and the others on the leaderboard. Thanks to all. We have reduced our target group of articles—January, February, and March 2011—by over half, and it looks like we will achieve that goal. Good progress is being made on the overall backlog as well, with over 500 articles copy-edited during the drive so far. The total backlog currently sits at around 3200 articles.

Hall of Fame: GOCE coordinator Diannaa was awarded a spot in the GOCE Hall of Fame this month! She has copy-edited over 1567 articles during these drives, and surpassed the 1,000,000-word mark on May 5. On to the second million! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg

May 2012

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Mysterious Girlfriend X does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Yes I know that 'passed away' should not be used as a substitute for 'died' but you should still leave an edit summary each time. – Allen4names 04:57, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do provide edit summaries for most changes, but for me to do one for each article in which I change "passed away" to "died" could possibly triple or quadruple my edit time. It would hamper my work substantially.fds^Talk 00:44, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
