Here is an example of how to post your articles to your tally: Save the page, and add all your copy-editing totals directly to that new section. You can obtain your current rollover word count from this document. Please do not add rollover into the "total-words" field. Thus, they should subtract 12,000 from 14,503, which yields 2,503. For example, if User A copy-edits 14,503 words in November, they would be awarded the Cleanup Barnstar (12,000 words). To calculate your rollover, take your November word count, subtract the award words from it, and enter the difference in the "rollover-words" field. Rollover is an element introduced in the September 2010 drive. Read the directions, and then add your name in the Totals below, and to the Participants list at the bottom of the page.Ĭopy and paste the following into the Totals sections below, placing your entry alphabetically.

For example, you can place a special "page in use" tag when you are copyediting, and another tag on the talk page when you finish.
However, you may want to consider joining, as membership has its benefits. The backlog elimination drive is open to all, and you do not need to be a member of the Guild of Copy Editors to participate. Awards will be given out to those individuals who help reduce the size of the backlog. Articles from that source will count towards your total whether they have a copy edit tag on them or not, so please feel free to select from there when you are in the mood for a better-quality article to edit. We also want to make sure the Requests page is dealt with during the drive, but we will not be awarding double word count this month for articles from the Requests page. The goals of this backlog elimination drive were to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 articles and to reduce the overall backlog by 10%. This drive began on 1 January 2011 00:00 UTC and ended on 31 January 2011 23:59 UTC. If you have any questions, leave a message on the drive's talk page. The lead coordinator is SMasters ( talk), and he is assisted by Diannaa ( Talk), The Utahraptor Talk, and Tea with toast ( talk).
The drives are under the purview of the Guild's coordinators.
Please make sure that you know how to copyedit and that you are familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style before you begin copyediting. This Copy Editing Backlog Elimination Drive was a one-month-long effort of the Guild of Copy Editors to reduce the backlog of articles that require copyediting, signified with the tag.
