Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive
![]() Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{ GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May. Your drive coordinators – Dianna ( Talk), Stfg ( Talk), and Dank ( talk)To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list. |

Hi. I've come across instances where you've redirected Talk pages to article pages - eg Talk:Ahirwati and Talk:Abu Ismail Dera Ismail Khan. Please don't redirect to different page types like that; redirect Talk pages to talk pages. Personally I'm not a fan of any kind of redirect on talk pages, they tend to confuse more than they help because people don't expect talk pages to redirect. Also, please don't delete relevant discussion from Talk pages - it's one thing cleaning up nonsense or unrelated chit-chat, but don't remove actual discussion of the article, someone may want to look at it in future. Happy editing. FlagSteward ( talk) 15:49, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Round 2 of this year's WikiCup is over, and so we are down to our final 32, in what could be called our quarter-finals. The two highest scorers from each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers overall, have entered round 3, while 30 participants have been eliminated. Pool B's
Grapple X (
submissions) remains our top scorer with over 700 points; he continues to gain high numbers of points for his good articles on
The X-Files, but also
Millennium and other subjects. He has also gained points for a good topic, a featured list, multiple good article reviews and several did you knows. Pool E's
Casliber (
submissions) was second, thanks primarily to his biology articles, with Pool H's
Muboshgu (
submissions) coming in third, with an impressive 46 did you knows, mostly on the subject of baseball. Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both scored over 600 points. Pools E and H proved our most successful, with each seeing 5 members qualify for round 3, while Pools C and D were the least, with each seeing only 3 reach round 3. However, it was Pool G which saw the lowest scoring, with a little under 400 points combined; Pool H, the highest scoring group, saw over triple that score.
65 points was the lowest qualifying score for round 3; significantly higher than the 11 required to enter round 2, and also higher than the 41 required to reach round 3 last year. However, in 2010, 100 points were needed to secure a place in round 3. 16 will progress to round 4. In round 3, 150 points was the 16th highest score, though, statistically, people tend to up their game a little in later rounds. Last year, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 points were needed. Guessing how many points will be required is not easy. We still have not seen any featured portals or topics this year, but, on the subject of less common content types, a small correction needs to be made to the previous newsletter:
File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg, our first featured picture, was the work of both
Matthewedwards (
submissions) and
Grandiose (
submissions), the latter of whom has also gone on to score with
File:Map of the Battle of Guam, 1944.svg. Bonus points also continue to roll in; this round,
Ealdgyth (
submissions) earned triple points for her good articles on
William the Conqueror and the
Middle Ages, Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both earned triple points for their work on
Western Jackdaw, now a good article,
Dana Boomer (
submissions) earned triple points for her work on
lettuce and work by
Stone (
submissions) to ready
antimony for good article status earned him triple points.
Jarry1250 (
submissions) managed to expand
Vitus Bering far enough for a did you know, which was also worth triple points. All of these highly important topics featured on 50 or more Wikipedias at the start of the year.
An article on the WikiCup in the Wikimedia Blog, "
Improving Wikipedia with friendly competition", was posted at the end of April. This may be of interest to those who are signed up to this newsletter, as well as serving as another way to draw attention to our project. Also, we would again like to thank
Jarry1250 (
submissions) and
Stone (
submissions), for continued help behind the scenes. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on
Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from

Hi there!
