Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/Summer 2007

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The drive has ended.

This Good article nominations backlog elimination drive is a one-month-long effort (originally organized by the GA nominees taskforce and other users) to reduce the backlog of Wikipedia:Good article nominations. It is a continuation of May's backlog elimination drive. Please make sure that you read the whole process of Good Article review before starting to review an article. The co-ordinators for this drive are: OhanaUnited, Nehrams2020 and Epbr123. If you have any questions, leave a message in the drive's talk page. This drive ended on August 12, 2007.

Attention: Consider using {{ArticleHistory}} instead of {{GA}} so that others can follow the article's milestones (such as peer review, FAC, etc.) in addition to GAN. If you added {{GA}} on an article, please go back and replace it with {{ArticleHistory}}. Be sure to follow the syntax properly to allow the template to display correctly.

[edit] Running total

Only pass/fail will be recognized as completing a review. If necessary, you can put the article on hold if the article needs to be edited further to be passed. Once you have passed or failed the article after putting it on hold, then include your review below. Quick-fail will not be counted. Article reviews completed after July 1 are eligible to be counted into the running total. Please state if the article is a pass, fail, or on hold. Make sure you follow up on holds.
