Guild of Copy Editors December 2016 News

Guild of Copy Editors December 2016 News

Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2016 GOCE newsletter. We had an October newsletter all set to go, but it looks like we never pushed the button to deliver it, so this one contains a few months of updates. We have been busy and successful!

Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: Nominations are open for election of Coordinators for the first half of 2017. Please visit the election page to nominate yourself or another editor, and then return after December 15 to vote. Thanks for participating!

September Drive: The September drive was fruitful. We set out to remove July through October 2015 from our backlog (an ambitious 269 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of oldest articles to just 83. We reduced our overall backlog by 97 articles, even with new copyedit tags being added to articles every day. We also handled 75% of the remaining Requests from August 2016. Overall, 19 editors recorded copy edits to 233 articles (over 378,000 words).

October Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme was Requests, since the backlog was getting a bit long. Of the 16 editors who signed up, 10 editors completed 29 requests. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part.

November Drive: The November drive was a record-breaker! We set out to remove September through December 2015 from our backlog (239 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of old articles to just 66, eliminating the two oldest months! We reduced our overall backlog by 523 articles, to a new record low of 1,414 articles, even with new tags being added to articles every day, which means we removed copy-editing tags from over 800 articles. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from October 2016. Officially, 14 editors recorded copy edits to 200 articles (over 312,000 words), but over 600 articles, usually quick fixes and short articles, were not recorded on the drive page.

Housekeeping note: we do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your Watchlist.

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

Multiple heights and widths make the added info inaccurate. The length is incorrect.[1] Your edit to change values is in poor faith. Cleanupmdx (talk) 05:36, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also changing the infobox values without a source is a poor faith edit.Cleanupmdx (talk) 05:45, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
EXCUSE ME? I didn't change any values. You deleted content off a page without explaining why, and now you're accusing me of making an edit in bad faith? Somebody needs a dose of reality. Davejohnsan (talk) 04:54, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Edit: By the way, just so we're clear, you removed the metric and English measurements and left the latter only. Both sets need to be there. If any particular measurements are inaccurate, then that's not an issue. Fix it, but don't just delete it. Davejohnsan (talk) 05:02, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I removed it because the technical specs are misleading since there are multiple widths and heights. I have zero responsibility to fix bad information however I will remove it.Cleanupmdx (talk) 07:26, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
