December 2018 GOCE newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors December 2018 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to the December 2018 GOCE newsletter. Here is what's been happening since the August edition.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the August blitz (results), which focused on Requests and the oldest backlog month. Of the twenty editors who signed up, eleven editors recorded 37 copy edits.

For the September drive (results), of the twenty-three people who signed up, nineteen editors completed 294 copy edits.

Our October blitz (results) focused on Requests, geography, and food and drink articles. Of the fourteen people who signed up, eleven recorded a total of 57 copy edits.

For the November drive (results), twenty-two people signed up, and eighteen editors recorded 273 copy edits. This helped to bring the backlog to a six-month low of 825 articles.

The December blitz will run for one week, from 16 to 22 December. Sign up now!

Elections: Nominations for the Guild's coordinators for the first half of 2019 will be open from 1 to 15 December. Voting will then take place and the election will close on 31 December at 23:59 UTC. Positions for Guild coordinators, who perform the important behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our project running smoothly, are open to all Wikipedians in good standing. We welcome self-nominations, so please consider nominating yourself if you've ever thought about helping out; it's your Guild and it doesn't run itself!

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators; Reidgreg, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, Miniapolis and Tdslk.

December Blitz not yet started

Hi TT, just to let you know the blitz doesn't start until midnight UTC; I've struck your first 'Completed' and 'Working' entries; though feel free to unstrike the latter if you're not starting major c/e work until the start. I've also reset your counters; feel free to remove my hidden text when ready. Don't let that put you off; we all make mistakes. :) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 22:00, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

UTC is hard. If you go to Preferences -> Gadgets, you can enable a gadget called "Add a clock to the personal toolbar that displays the current time in UTC and provides a link to purge the current page". It's the only way I can know for sure when it's 00:00 UTC, what with time zones and DST and not paying attention. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:52, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Baffle gab1978: @Jonesey95: Thanks to you both. My apologies, I simply put the wrong date in my calendar! :( I'll try the clock! Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:54, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On the brink of getting promoted to FA..

Hi TT. Hope all is well. This article (Teresa Sampsonia) is on the brink of getting promoted to FA. As various large scale changes have been made since the last copy edit (long ago), I was wondering if you'd be willing to make a brief scan through the article? Best, - LouisAragon (talk) 17:37, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@LouisAragon: I should be able to have a look at it over the weekend for you. Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:30, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
