Reviewing

GOCE coordinators and other experienced Guild members will carry out random checks to ensure that copy edits are of a satisfactory standard. If you are willing to help with reviewing, please sign up below.

10% of each participant's copy edits from the backlog should be checked, and all copy edits from the Requests page should be reviewed, time permitting. Please choose articles at random and do not inspect your own copy edits. After checking articles, place a {{checked}} template after the article on the listing and sign your username with four tildes (~~~~). If a rough consensus finds that a copy edit is not of an acceptable standard, the tag will be re-added and the editor will be penalized 1,200 words plus the word count of the reviewed article. The reviewer may give advice on how the edit could have been improved without penalizing the editor. Please raise any questions on the Coordinators' talk page.

Signing up

Totals

How to record articles you have copy edited:

• Remove any extant {{copy edit}} tags from the article.
• When you sign up, your section is automatically populated with # {{Working}} [[]] () and # {{Completed}} [[]] ():
  • Article titles go in wikilinks [[]]. List the article's full title (not an abbreviated version) and avoid piped links, quotation marks and italics.
  • Article word counts go in round brackets (): use this script to get the page's word count. Count the words in the version of the article that existed before you started editing. These brackets should not contain anything other than this number; do not use additional brackets for comments. Avoid long calculation strings (more than one line) in your word total.
• Place the article you are editing on the {{Working}} line. Only work on one article at a time. When you've finished your copy edit, change {{Working}} to {{Completed}}.
• If the article is from the GOCE Requests page, place *R (using plain text) after the word count. If it was tagged in April, May and June 2018, place *O (using plain text) after the word count.
• Place any comments between the article title and the word count.
• Do not list articles on which you have placed {{GOCEreviewed}} instead of copy editing them, or which needed no copy editing.
• Do not add the 50% bonus for Requests or Oldest articles—a coordinator will apply the bonuses after the drive is over.
• If you want your work checked, you can request this on the drive talk page.

Properly completed records look like this in the edit window:

# {{Completed}} [[Dark chocolate]] (1,234) *O

and like this on the rendered page:

1.  Completed Dark chocolate (1,234) *O
