The goals of this backlog elimination drive are to eliminate as many articles as possible from the 2009 backlog and to reduce the overall backlog by 15%. ! NEW ! In an effort to encourage the final elimination of all 2009 articles, we will be tracking them on the leaderboard for this drive. Awards and barnstars A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants. Some are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page. We look forward to meeting you on the drive! Your GOCE coordinators: SMasters, Diannaa, Tea with toast, Chaosdruid, and Torchiest

I've already started to work on Puerto Ricans in the United States. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:25, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Didn't see any in-use tag. It's all yours!--Miniapolis (talk) 20:01, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I didn't put a Guild tag on it because I'm not a member and an "under construction" one didn't fit either.Clarityfiend (talk) 21:34, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh gosh, I don't think they stand on ceremony about the GOCE in-use tag; there's also a general in-use tag. But since I spent the afternoon pushing our tractor out of the mud, thanks for allowing me to swap a 9K-word article for a 448-word one on Tasmanian cricket (since I'm trying to learn cricket anyway :-)).--Miniapolis (talk) 22:43, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
