Please visit the Guild or the main drive page for more information. 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.
