This Copy Editing Project Blitz was a one-week-long effort of the Guild of Copy Editors to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy editing; those carrying the {{copyedit}} tag or listed on the GOCE Requests page. It began on 12 June at 00:00 (UTC) and ended on 18 June at 23:59 (UTC).

The themes of this blitz were:

• All articles with copy-edit tags that are tagged as part of WikiProject Video games (see collapsed article list below)
• A list of Asia-related articles that have been tagged for a long time (see collapsed article list below and the blitz talk page for details)

Blitz participants could earn barnstar awards based on the number of articles—and the word counts of the articles—they copy edit. Awards will be given out once the blitz has finished.

The blitz was open to all; you don't have to be a member of the Guild of Copy Editors to participate. You must, however, be competent in your use of English grammar, spelling and punctuation. We strongly advise you to read Wikipedia's guide to basic copy editing before you begin working. If you're unsure about spelling, grammar or punctuation, consult the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Skilled use of English is especially important for articles listed on the Requests page.

Blitzes are under the purview of the Guild's coordinators. The blitz's lead coordinator is Jonesey95 (talk), who is assisted by Miniapolis (talk) and Baffle gab1978 (talk). If you have any questions, leave a message on the blitz's talk page.
