This page is an election of WikiProject coordinators—consisting of one Lead Coordinator and a number of assistant coordinators—for the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE). Coordinators elected on this page will serve a six-month term beginning at 00:00 on 1 July 2025 and ending at 23:59 on 31 December[a]. GOCE elections are open to all Wikipedians in good standing[b] and self-nominations are welcomed.
The project coordinators are responsible for maintaining the procedural and administrative aspects of the project. They are the designated points of contact for procedural issues and are responsible for ensuring the project as a whole is properly informed of them.
Here are some examples of coordinator duties:
- monitoring and responding to comments and question at the project's main talk pages (Main, Requests and Coordinators), the Requests page, the category Wikipedia articles needing copy edit, and talk pages of any ongoing editathons;
- assisting with the organizing and promotion of regular editathons:
- month-long Backlog Elimination Drives held in odd-numbered months and
- week-long Blitzes held Sunday-to-Saturday on a mid-month week in even-numbered months to be decided in advance;
- creating, finalizing and distributing quarterly newsletters and annual reports;
- creating, promoting and conducting twice-yearly coordinator elections;
- ensuring project announcements in the ombox and task lists are kept up-to-date
- drafting of guidelines needed by the project;
- monitoring and handling the database report;
- updating statistics on the progress chart;
- maintaining the project pages and the guidelines on them in a clean and easy-to-use state; and
- encouraging the participation of new and existing GOCE members, including the use of project notices and other advertising methods.
Please see the full list of tasks for GOCE coordinators. Feel free to ask questions at the Coordinators talk page.
The coordinator positions do not confer any executive power.
- Lead Coordinator (one open position): will have overall responsibility for procedural and administrative matters within the project.
- Coordinator (2–4 open positions): will assist the Lead Coordinator by focusing on specific areas within the project that require special attention. These areas will be selected based on need and interest among the coordinators.
- The nomination process will run from June 1, 00:00 UTC until June 15, 23:59 UTC UTC.
- The voting process will run from June 16, 00:00 UTC until June 30, 23:59 UTC.
- Any member of the project may nominate themselves for either position by creating a new section under Nominations below and copying the sample form below. Nominees only interested in one position should indicate this when adding their names. Candidates need not make extensive statements if they do not wish to do so.
- The election will be conducted using simple approval voting. Any member of the project may support a nominee for either position. If the nominee is running for both positions and you wish to support them for only one, please make a note to that effect as part of your vote.
- Both project members and interested outside parties are encouraged to ask questions of the nominees or to make general comments.

- I enjoy improving the encyclopedia, and the best way I can do this is by copyediting. The GOCE is an organized way to do it, and I'm happy to pitch in again as coordinator.
