heya, thank you for your help with the Lostprophets discography, it passed :) was just wondering, if you had time, if you could take a look at the above article and suggest some improvements for me before i take it to FLR. many thanks :) Mister sparky (talk) 23:27, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for you input at the FLC. I've addressed some of your issues, but have added comments to some. Please let me know if you have any further or ongoing issues. Thanks, JD554 (talk) 18:57, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've addressed most everything in your GA-nom. I've also expanded a bit of the release part to include that Bjork was sued by another musician after the BritAwards. I think it's all grammatically correct, but feel free to give that part a bit of a clean. Is it ready for GA now otherwise? :) Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:37, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I think I've fixed the WP:LQ problems now. Andrzejbanas (talk) 01:32, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time to look over my GA nom! I'll try to do some reviews at the GAN section. Thanks for all your help! Andrzejbanas (talk) 02:33, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Found a neat link in relation to this query you had regarding whether certifications were based on shipments or sales. Not sure what sort of implementation is required or how deep this impacts articles, guess it needs some investigating. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 08:47, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hope you don't mind if i do a prose review of Ghosts I-IV for the FAC, which may or may not end up in me heavily rewriting some parts of the article. Just fair warning in case you look at the history in the next few days and wonder what the hell I'm up to with all my craaaaaaazy edits. WesleyDodds (talk) 08:39, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, have you noticed the phenomenon of editors occasionally changing the album order number in individual NIN album pages to include Broken in the total? It's like these people have never heard of an EP . . . WesleyDodds (talk) 08:46, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, that happens to be my favorite NIN release. It's actually one of the records I've listened to most on my iPod (in case you're wondering, that top tier also includes Dookie, Siamese Dream, R.E.M.'s Reckoning, Ride's Nowhere, and two Depeche Mode singles compilations). When you get around to working on that one, give me a holler. WesleyDodds (talk) 08:55, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Drewcifer3000! I'm just dropping by to let you know of the FLRC delegate election that begins on Tuesday. You may run in the election by following the instructions on the page.

I have cleared up the issues you left at the FLC, WP:Featured list candidates/Gwen Stefani discography/archive2. Please would you strike your comments? -- EA Swyer ^Talk _{Contributions} 13:11, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination has been restarted so that consensus for promotion or archival can emerge. Please update your stance on the article and be sure to add/update any comments you may have. Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 04:24, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

heya, a couple of weeks ago you kindly left some comment at the above articles FLC discussion, i was just wondering if you would take another look? thanks :) Mister sparky (talk) 17:27, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

heya, a couple of weeks ago you participated in the FLC discussion for the above article. there were alot of faults with the article when the the previous user nominated. they have now been resolved and i am going to re-nominate it, but before i do i was wondering if you could take a look and offer me your suggestions? thanks :) Mister sparky (talk) 00:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See here. Cheeers, Dabomb87 (talk) 01:47, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We've come a long way... A lot has happened since the article was delisted as good article! Just wanted to let you know that the article has been nominated as a WP:FAC. Ohconfucius (talk) 03:45, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• It has now been promoted to Featured Article. Ohconfucius (talk) 07:37, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:Wikiscreen2007.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 22:18, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think you could take another look at the Trivium article. Most of the problems you mentioned have been fixed. The article now has a musical style section and the grammatical errors have been fixed. Thanks for the suggestions on the article. KezianAvenger 16:41, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would go a long ways towards improving the article by completely reorganizing it. What do you think? WesleyDodds (talk) 07:42, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know you're busy these days, but when I'm done rearranging the article I'll need help sourcing. Also will need help integrating Reznor's side projects into the main biography, particularly Tapeworm, which isn't tied to a specific time period. WesleyDodds (talk) 08:25, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Drewcifer, I saw your Criterion list in your sandbox and I think it's a great layout. I noticed you have not worked on it in over a month. Would you mind if I contribute to it? Or should I let your sandbox be? Cheers! Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:44, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:33 Ghosts IV.ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Thanks to everyone's efforts to the GA Sweeps process, we are currently over 90% done with only 226 articles remain to be swept! As always, I want to thank you for using your time to ensure the quality of the older GAs. With over 50 members participating in Sweeps, that averages out to about 4 articles per person! If each member reviews an article once a week this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. At that point, awards will be handed out to reviewers. As an added incentive, if we complete over 100 articles reviewed this month, I will donate $100 to Wikipedia Forever on behalf of all GA Sweeps participants. I hope that this incentive will help to increase our motivation for completing Sweeps while supporting Wikipedia in the process. If you have any questions about reviews or Sweeps let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 00:03, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Drewcifer, I wanted to wait till after the holiday season to ask you but, just wondering, are you pleased with the work I have made to the above article following your comments? If not, is there anything else i can do? Thanks! (Ps. Well done on your NIN work!) --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 06:40, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I left some replies over on mine, just to keep things tidy. Come take a look if you have a minute. Thanks again, ^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 07:31, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've copied what you said to the review, so that everyone can join in if they wish (Hope that's cool with you!). If there are any other concerns, do let me know. My finest regards, ^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 08:08, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can you check back to see if your concerns were resolved at this FLC? Thanks for your review. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:25, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you reviewed this when it was at FLC nearly a year ago. If you get the chance, can you review it again to see if your previous concerns have been resolved? Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 21:09, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated The Nation of Ulysses discography for featured list removal here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured list criteria.

Mm40 (talk) 00:55, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Uh-oh indeed! I'll keep on eye on this page. Great job with the formatting! I think we may get a bit poked with some style issues with it, but we'll just have to wait and see on that front. I'll watch the page, and try to clean anything up. You did a lot of great work on it. Keep it up! Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:08, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Drewcifer3000, i see that you did a serious amount of work to The Prodigy discography, so i'm posing this question to you. As it is a featured list some things are wrong with it which shouldn't. It's quite outdated, the template doesn't match at all with the article for example. I don't know if you have the knowledge to get this article more up to date? greets --Narayan (talk) 19:26, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Drewcifer, this list has now been listed at FLRC (link). Dabomb87 (talk) 20:56, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Drewcifer, I found out how to solve our problem with the LaserDiscs. I couldn't complete them all, but you have to use template:numkey. It's not to difficult to understand. I added some, but got sidetracked when it was time to get to work. I can finish them later, or I can let you take a stab at it. What do you think? Andrzejbanas (talk) 15:50, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Use {{ntsh}}. Numkey is dead. Jimp 02:26, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since you are a FL conisseur (sp?), I was just wondering, can you give me some more help with the above article? Some opposition has appeared over sources, and I'm not too sure where to go with it - you must have seen hundreds of these go through the gate, what happened in the past in terms of Chart sources? --^{SteelersFanUK06} HereWeGo2010! 10:48, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

heya, a lil while ago you made comments at the above's FLC discussion, however it was not promoted due to a general lack of interest. so was wondering if you could revisit and add any comments here? thanks :) Mister sparky (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Drewcifer, can you update your progress on the article at Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/The Prodigy discography/archive1 so that we know what has been and what still needs to be addressed? Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 05:34, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there (sorry for bothering you so much). Can you take one more look at the list; there's a table formatting problem that needs to be resolved. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 04:07, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Last bump, I promise: it looks like you've been extremely busy, so I understand if you can't attend to the FLRC. However, in addition to the table issue, there is now a source reliability issus that has popped up, so if you could take a look ASAP, that would be great.

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 6, 2010. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 03:58, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I dropped by to say Thanks for your work on this article. I've been pretty unimpressed with most of Mr. Reznor's work after Downward Spiral, and I never really tuned into anything he's released recently. But after reading the article you worked so hard on, I figured I'd give this one a listen — and I'm very glad I did! I went over and bought the set.. Cheers! Scartol • Tok 13:14, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to everyone's efforts to the GA Sweeps process, we are currently over 95% done with around 130 articles left to be swept! Currently there are over 50 members participating in Sweeps, that averages out to about 3 articles per person! If each member reviews an article once a week this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. At that point, awards will be handed out to reviewers. Per my message last month, although we did not review 100 articles last month, I still made a donation of $90 (we had 90 reviews completed/initiated) to Wikipedia Forever on behalf of all GA Sweeps reviewers. I would like to thank everyone's efforts for last month, and ask for additional effort this month so we can be finished. I know you have to be sick of seeing these updates (as well as Sweeps itself) by now, so please do consider reviewing a few articles if you haven't reviewed in a while. If you have any questions about reviews or Sweeps let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:30, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You recently made some comments on this FL nomination and since then, most of the matters have been sorted, would you mind taking another look? Thanks - Etincelles ^(talk) 23:08, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a few improvements now, the references are now all to reliable sources and I fixed the table widths. Etincelles ^(talk) 11:42, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article The Make-Up, to which you seem to be among the main contributors, is undergoing a review as part of the good article sweeps project. The article does not seem to meet current requirements for a good article. It has been put on hold for a week; if these issues are addressed satisfactorily within that period the article will be kept as a GA, otherwise it will be delisted. Lampman (talk) 17:22, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to everyone's amazing efforts in February, we have reviewed all of the articles and are now finished with Sweeps! There are still about 30 articles currently on hold, and once those reviews are completed, I will send you a final message about Sweeps process stats including the total number of articles that were passed and failed. If you have one of these open reviews, be sure to update your count when the review is completed so I can compile the stats. You can except to receive your award for reviewing within the next week or two. Although the majority of the editors did not start Sweeps at the beginning in August 2007 (myself included), over 50 editors have all come together to complete a monumental task and improve many articles in the process. I commend you for sticking with this often challenging task and strengthening the integrity of the GA WikiProject as well as the GAs themselves. I invite you to take a break from reviewing (don't want you to burn out!) and then consider returning/starting to review GANs and/or contribute to GAR reviews. With your assistance, we can help bring the backlog down to a manageable level and help inspire more editors to improve articles to higher classes and consider reviewing themselves. Again, thank you for putting up with difficult reviews, unhappy editors, numerous spam messages from me, and taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:23, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So it seems we couldn't make it an FA. They said we could re-nominate again in a few days, what do you think? Should we give this another push? Andrzejbanas (talk) 18:31, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. Hope we can see you in April.

On behalf of Wikiproject Good Articles, I would like to express our gratitude to you for your contributions to the Sweeps process, for which you completed 16 reviews. Completion of this monstrous task has proven to be a significant accomplishment not only for our project, but for Wikipedia. As a token of our sincere appreciation, please accept this ribbon.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 17:37, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:25, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.--Dom497 (talk)15:15, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Andrea Fraser.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 05:34, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The backlog at Good Article Nominations is 345 unreviewed articles. Out of 439 total nominations, 24 are on hold, 66 are under review, and 4 are seeking a second opinion. Please go to WP:GAN and review an article! Even just reviewing one will help!

The categories with the largest backlogs are: Social sciences and society (80 articles), Sports and recreation (70 articles), Music (63 articles), Theatre, film and drama (52 articles), and History (41 articles). Please consider reviewing articles within these sections. There are currently 13 articles up for reassessment at Good Article Reassessment. Please help out and go to WP:GAR and review an article! Remember that anyone can review articles that are listed under "Community Reassessment" even if another user has already listed their opinion...the more opinions, the better! Member News There are currently 222 members of WikiProject Good Articles! Welcome to all the new members that joined during the past 17 months!

If you haven't done so already, please remember to add your name to this list if you are still interested/active with this WikiProject. If you are no longer interested/active you don't need to add your name anywhere, you're name will be moved into a "inactive participant" list at the beginning of November. Inactive users will not receive future newsletters from this WikiProject via their talk page. GA Task forces There is currently not much going on at this time but there is a very large backlog. Until the next backlog elimination drive, please help reduce the number of nominations by reviewing articles and helping other reviewers that may need second opinions. Thanks to everyone who committed some time to help reduce the nominations backlog during the June-July 2012 backlog elimination drive. Most barnstars have been given out but there are still a few left. Participants that haven't gotten a barnstar yet should get it soon. Possible Fall/Winter 2012 Backlog Elimination Drive A discussion is currently being held on the WikiProject's talk page on weather another eliminations drive should take place within the next few months as the last one proved to be extremely successful. Please take the time to go to the the talk page and include your opinion on if you would be interested in taking part in a Fall/Winter 2012 elimination drive. Good Articles of the Month Each month, 5 random good articles will be choose to be featured here as the good articles of the month. Barry (dog) I Love Bees Miles Copeland (Home and Away) London Country North East The Daily Show Some Tips About References/Sources Having references included in articles is one of the most important aspects to a good article, let alone Wikipedia! Without them, no one would ever know what is true and what is false and Wikipedia probably wouldn't be where it is today. So this month, I will talk about how to check for references, how reliable they are, and so on and so forth. The first thing to do when reviewing an nominee is to do a quick scan of the article. One of the things to look for is if the article has references! If you don't see a list at the bottom of the article page, quick-fail it.[2] For newcomers, quick-failing is failing an article when you spot a problem before actually conducting a full review. If you do find a list of references (and in most cases you will) make sure to look through each and every one. If you want to save some time, use this tool as it will tell you if there are any problematic references in the article you are reviewing. Next, check the reliability and type of the references/sources. In terms of the type of reference, check to see how many primary and/or secondary sources are included. Primary sources are the ones published by the subject of the article. For example, if the subject of the article has to do with the iPhone 4s and the source is published by Apple, it is considered a primary source. Secondary sources are those not published by the subject of the article (or in close relation to it). Newspapers are examples of secondary sources and considered one of the better types to include in the article (not saying primary sources are bad). If you find that most/all of the references are primary sources, notify the nominator about this issue(s) and place the article on hold once you have completed the review. Only in the event that a secondary source can't be found as a replacement, then the primary source can remain. If there is a good mix of primary and secondary sources, that is perfect and no references need to be changed. Now, reliability. Forums are generally not considered reliable and some blog's may not be reliable either. Newspapers, most sources published by the subject, some blogs, etc. are considered reliable. If you don't know wether the source is reliable, ask for a second opinion. For more info about how to identify wether a reference is reliable or not, visit this article. Finally, one of the more basic things to look for is that every statement in the article has at least one reference! The only case that a statement doesn't need a reference is when it is common sense that the statement is defiantly true and/or in the case where the statement can't be challenged, as per what Wikipedia says, "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable published source using an inline citation."

Notes ^ As of October 2, 2012 at 19:05 (UTC). ^ Before quick-failing the article, verify that one of the several referencing templates is correctly placed at the bottom of the article. If the template is not placed, try to place it to see if references are displayed. If this proof returns no references, then proceed to quick-failing.

If you have a moment, I am looking for additional feedback and comments here. Given your experience with similar lists, I thought I would send a quick note.

A 'Request For Comment' for Good Article Nominations is currently being held. We are asking that you please take five to ten minutes to review all seven proposals that will affect Good Article Nominations if approved. Full details of each proposal can be found here. Please comment on each proposal (or as many as you can) here. At this time, Proposal 1, 3, and 5 have received full (or close to) support. If you have questions of anything general (not related to one specif proposal), please leave a message under the General discussion thread. Please note that Proposal 2 has been withdrawn and no further comments are needed. Also, please disregard Proposal 9 as it was never an actual proposal.

Hello! Now, some of you might be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers: Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with, the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available". Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497). Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 01:18, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• As a listed GA participant, you are invited to contribute to a formal Request for Comment on the question of whether Good Articles should be eligible to appear in the Did You Know? slot in future.

Hello! A GAN Backlog Drive will begin in less than 4 days! In past Backlog Drives, the goal was to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. In the upcoming drive, another goal will be added - raising as much money as we can for the Wikimedia Foundation. How will this work? Well, its pretty simple. Any user interested in donating can submit a pledge at the Backlog Drive page (linked above). The pledge should mention the amount of money the user is willing to donate per review. For example, if a user pledges 5 cents per review and 100 nominations are reviewed, the total donation amount is $5.00. At the time this message was sent out, two users have submitted pledges for a total of 8 cents per review. All pledges, no matter how much money, are greatly appreciated. Also, in no way is this saying you must make a pledge. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or leave a message on the Backlog Drive talk page. And remember, there are less than 4 days before the drive starts!--EdwardsBot (talk) 03:14, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Just a friendly reminder that the GAN Backlog Drive has begun and will end on December 31, 2013! If you know anyone outside of the WikiProject that may be interested, feel free to invite them to the drive! If you have any questions or want to comment about something regarding the drive, post them here--EdwardsBot (talk) 00:07, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated The Make-Up discography for featured list removal here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured list criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks; editors may declare to "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. GamerPro64 03:04, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:

• This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
• Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
• The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
• An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.
