Daisy

Hi @Twofingered Typist – The article "Daisy (advertisement)" was copy edited by an editor few days ago, and I have nominated it for FAC. Though I was satisfied with the copy-edit, there have been some concerns raised at the FAC page about few minor inconsistencies in the prose. I was wondering, would it be possible for you to take a quick look at the page and help improve the standard of the prose? The article is a relatively short one, so I guess it wouldn't take much of your time. Thanks a lot ... – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:49, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

@Kavyansh.Singh: Sure, I'll have a look at it for you. TfT

@Kavyansh.Singh: I've run through the article for you. I would hope the reviewers are happy with the state it's in now that two of us have worked on it. Good luck! Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:43, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

September 2021 Guild of Copy Editors newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors September 2021 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021.                  Current and upcoming events September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event.

Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). 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, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
