Overview
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 January 2023 and ending at 23:59 on 30 June. GOCE elections are open to all Wikipedians in good standing 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:
 * manage the proposal and creation of new task forces;
 * ensure project announcements and task lists are kept up-to-date;
 * initiate drafting of guidelines needed by the project;
 * organize the category system;
 * oversee the recruitment of new members, including the use of project notices and other advertising methods;
 * create and maintain any collaborative projects;
 * maintain the project pages and the guidelines on them in a clean and easy-to-use state;
 * monitor technical policies and ensure project templates satisfy them; and
 * assist in organizing and promoting any Backlog Elimination Drives and Blitzes.

They are also expected to generally assist project members with any questions and concerns.

The coordinator positions do not confer any executive power.

Positions

 * 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.

Election process

 * The nomination process will run for two weeks from December 01, 00:01 UTC until December 15, 23:59 UTC.
 * The election process will run for two weeks from December 16, 00:01 UTC until December 31, 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 elections 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.

Hi all, I'm a current Guild coordinator. I tend to look after the Requests page (REQ), create pages for our Drives and Blitzes, write newsletters and perform other minor tasks around Guildspace. I also wear the juice and do a fair bit of copy-editing. I'm happy to continue in the role, though I'll be somewhat less active on Wikipedia from March onwards.

• Interested in Coordinator or Lead if no suitable candidates nominate position only.


 * I have not been the most active coordinator by a long shot, but I would likely be more active should I continue, because IRL is becoming slightly more free. I am able to be lead, if no other suitable candidates are available. Zippybonzo &#124; Talk (he&#124;him) 16:47, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

I've been doing this for a while, pretty much since I began actively editing here at the end of 2010. My niche is article improvement, for which I find the GOCE structure helpful. We can always use more help, so please pitch in if you can! All the best,  Mini  apolis  00:15, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
