Hey Lightningthief. I see you've just went offline based on your user page, so I hope you had a great sleep by the time you've seen this. Anyways, I noticed that when you ce'd Unmanned Systems Forces, you forgot to add your copyedit to the GOCE WikiProject banner on the talk page. Though it's not required, it's recommended to use it as to advertise the guild and such. You can easily add and edit WikiProject banners on talk pages in the future by using this user script. I hope you find it useful!

Thank you for letting me know. I'll make sure to include the GOCE Banner in the future when I copyedit.
