The Copy Editing Backlog Elimination Drives are one-month-long efforts of the Guild of Copy Editors to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy editing, signified with the {{copy edit}} tag. The goals for each drive are listed on the respective drive page. Awards will be given out to those individuals who help reduce the size of the backlog.

The coordinators for each drive are listed on each drive page. If you have any questions, please first consult our FAQ page, which has answers to some commonly-asked questions. If that doesn't help, you can leave a message on the drive's talk page; someone will be happy to help you.

Please make sure that you know how to copy edit and that you are familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style before you begin copy editing.
