Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood is just about to undergo GA review within the next 24 hours. If you could give it a read and make any last minute copyedits I'd be grateful.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:11, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Doc, Happy New Year! I'm very sorry but I am swamped with work in RL. The earliest I can have a look at anything will be on the weekend, and I'm not even sure if I can do that. Since this is urgent, you may want to try a few other active GOCE members. Cheers and good luck with it. – SMasters (talk) 01:27, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

WP Spaceflight

Feel free to pick a day for your WP Spaceflight report to run. I'll fill in whatever days you don't take. We can always change it later if you finish it ahead of schedule or feel you need more time. -Mabeenot (talk) 01:43, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

OK thanks, I've booked it in. – SMasters (talk) 11:38, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

GOCE drive news

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 backlog elimination drive

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! The drive is halfway over, so here are some mid-drive stats.

Participation

So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can sign up now.

Progress report

We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal.

Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success!
