Hi, I see you placed a no footnotes tag on my new page, Texan English. I have added footnotes to everything in the main body of the article. Could you please remove the tag and give me any suggestions you might have regarding my article?UrsaLinguaBWD (talk) 03:33, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the advice. I found the CiteWeb thing a bit confusing, so I will try that out if I do more citations in the near future. That has been the hardest part of editing WP for me so far. UrsaLinguaBWD (talk) 04:08, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!

GOCE September 2010 backlog elimination drive progress graphs

Participation report — We have 71 participants in the September drive. 95 people signed up for the July drive, and in May we had 36.

Progress report — We have been making solid progress in eliminating the 2008 articles from the backlog so far. If we continue to focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Overall volumes are lower than expected though, with nearly a thousand articles yet to be done if we are to meet our overall target. If you have not yet participated in the drive, we recommend you do so. If each person who signed up edits one article per day from now till the end of the month we can eliminate another 1,065 articles from the backlog. All contributions are appreciated.

Announcement: credit for 10k+ articles — Participants editing a 10k word article may claim credit for two 5k+ articles on the leaderboard. Those that edit a 15k word article may claim credit for three. Regardless, the article is still counted as a single article in the tallies.

Reminder — Articles from the Requests page can be included in your tally, even if they do not have a copy edit tag. This is a great place to go if you are interested in finding a higher quality article to work on.

This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa ^(Talk), S Masters (talk), HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK, and The Raptor ^{Let's talk}.
