Overview This page is an election of WikiProject coordinators—consisting of one Lead Coordinator and a number of assistant coordinators—for the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE). Coordinators elected on this page will serve a six-month term beginning at 00:00 on 1 January 2025 and ending at 23:59 on 30 June. GOCE elections are open to all Wikipedians in good standing and self-nominations are welcomed. The project coordinators are responsible for maintaining the procedural and administrative aspects of the project. They are the designated points of contact for procedural issues and are responsible for ensuring the project as a whole is properly informed of them. Here are some examples of coordinator duties: monitoring and responding to comments and question at the project's main talk pages (Main, Requests and Coordinators), the Requests page, the category Wikipedia articles needing copy edit, and talk pages of any ongoing editathons; assisting with the organizing and promotion of regular editathons: month-long Backlog Elimination Drives held in odd-numbered months and week-long Blitzes held Sunday-to-Saturday on a mid-month week in even-numbered months to be decided in advance; creating, finalizing and distributing quarterly newsletters and annual reports; creating, promoting and conducting twice-yearly coordinator elections; ensuring project announcements in the ombox and task lists are kept up-to-date drafting of guidelines needed by the project; monitoring and handling the database report; updating statistics on the progress chart; maintaining the project pages and the guidelines on them in a clean and easy-to-use state; and encouraging the participation of new and existing GOCE members, including the use of project notices and other advertising methods.
