GOCE March drive newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive update
  Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter. Participation: We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far. Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.

Structuration
Structuration, an article you have previously edited or reviewed, has been nominated for Good article reassessment. SpinningSpark 09:53, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
- There have been comments that the GA review was procedurally problematic; however, we only discourage reviews by significant contributors, and you were not a contributor. That the review was not up to normal GA standards is, I think, simply the result of your inexperience with the GA criteria, rather than any attempt to gain prestige for your student or college. However, to avoid any appearance of impropriety, it might be good practise as a supervisor of a significant article contributor to allow GA reviews to be done by an independent reviewer. As regards grading the student, it would be up to you as the supervisor to judge the finished work by your university's standards, not by ours. A supervisor wanting to award a grade purely on a GA listing would need to be advised that listings can be somewhat random depending on the experience and views of the reviewer. If you have any questions about or assistance with the GA process, let me know on my talkpage page, and I'll do what I can. Regards SilkTork ✔Tea time 14:19, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, I did not intend to be the GA reviewer. My inexperience locked me into it; I only intended to leave comments for the reviewer. Now I know. However, I only knew that this was a student, but it was not one of my students and not my college. Once into it, my only intention was to encourage students, in general, to become editors.

- Cool. If you need any assistance in future, just let me know. You can leave a talkback template if that is your choice, though I prefer text. If you wish a copy on your own talkpage (as I often do) then doing a copy and paste requires less effort than typing out the template. SilkTork ✔Tea time 19:29, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
GOCE May mid-drive newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors May 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter
 Participation: Out of 49 people signed up for this drive so far, 26 have copy-edited at least one article. It's a smaller group than last drive, but we're making good progress. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Template:J Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive, largely due to the efforts of Lfstevens and the others on the leaderboard. Thanks to all. We have reduced our target group of articles—January, February, and March 2011—by over half, and it looks like we will achieve that goal. Good progress is being made on the overall backlog as well, with over 500 articles copy-edited during the drive so far. The total backlog currently sits at around 3200 articles. Hall of Fame: GOCE coordinator Diannaa was awarded a spot in the GOCE Hall of Fame this month! She has copy-edited over 1567 articles during these drives, and surpassed the 1,000,000-word mark on May 5. On to the second million! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg >>> Sign up now <<<

Categories
Your category edits have confused me. I can see that in some cases you are removing the category sociologist and adding a subcategory, but in others, eg Eric Anderson (sociologist) you are simply removing the category sociologist. Why is this? Dougweller (talk) 08:38, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
- Because Eric Anderson (sociologist) already has category: American sociologist; I was asked to remove the parent category: Sociologist. Meclee (talk) 13:38, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, I assume that's the case for the rest, I should have checked the article itself. This was brought to my attention by another editor - could you use edit summaries for this sort of thing in the future? Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 14:02, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, that is the case for the rest. I was doing a large number of pages, so was using HotCat to save time. Thank you. Meclee (talk) 15:12, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your support!
