the previous month's awards weren't handed out, but i guess everyone's aware of that... FoCuSandLeArN ( talk) 21:21, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
As of 05:34, 4 March 2013 (UTC), the backlog is just under 1900, the 7+ -day old backlog is around 700, and the 14+-day-old backlog down under 200.
It was well over 2200 when we started. Working 300+ in 3 days would conservatively have us clearing the backlog by the 22nd. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs)/( e-mail) 05:34, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
So...are we supposed to be manually adding the links to our Reviews to our individual Drive pages? I thought the 'Buddy' did that but apparently not? Thanks, Shearonink ( talk) 18:15, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
I was looking at Aaron Booth's contest entry page. Mr. Booth declined the draft of Finance Business Training (FBT). There is an evaluation next to the listing that says "--FAIL. Non notable, I beleive.--Pratyya". My understanding of the instructions is that PASS or FAIL is supposed to indicate that the second reviewer (Pratyya Ghosh in this case) checked the review (by Aaron Booth in this case) and is saying whether it was done properly (PASS) or improperly (FAIL). The comment suggests to me a misunderstanding of the PASS/FAIL criterion as applying to the draft rather than the review. — rybec 22:21, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
...necessarily take issue with the exact reason for an AfC draft being Declined. Unless an AfC Reviewer uses the Custom option, the AfC template does not allow for multiple reasons for the Decline and one reason is not in and of itself more valid than another. The Review of a Reviewer that I especially have in mind is Pratyya Ghosh's Review of Hal9000w's Review of Asylum Entertainment found here. Shearonink ( talk) 21:13, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Seriously...take a look. TODAY?... there were over 740 AfC drafts submitted!!! Cheers!, Shearonink ( talk) 03:36, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
I just want to know if anyone is interested in an AFCBuddy-type of tool that can generate the list of reviews for a user until AFCBuddy returns. I have already written a basic tool for myself and I figured that I can update others' lists as well -if they want to. If you don't want to update the list of reviews yourself and want to see the list now, the tool can generate the list and I can update your list of reviews based on its output. This doesn't mean that AFCBuddy won't update the list for you when Excirial returns. Nimuaq ( talk) 14:53, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
I just found an AfC draft that I declined in the "0 days page...but it didn't appear to have been resubmitted. So, I tracked it down...and an IP has submitted the redirect... http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:KateRivera/sandbox&action=history... Shearonink ( talk) 06:02, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
Dear editors:
I just started reviewing a few days ago and didn't know about the backup drive until yesterday. I tried to add my reviews, so I hope I did it correctly. There are a number of manual reviews that I did on sandboxes before I clued in that I could move them, so I guess those don't count. I'm not sure if there's anything else I should have been doing besides listing the reviews on my subpage at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/March 2013 Backlog Elimination Drive/Anne Delong, but now I have to go out to a family event, so I hope this was right. — Anne Delong ( talk) 18:28, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
I hacked up Template:AfC backlog elimination drive to make it it possible to set up the countdowns of the start AND end of an upcoming drive and/or put up a note saying "The next backlog elimination drive has not been scheduled." When the next drive is announced, fill in "option 2" and enable it and disable "option 1" and "option 3." This will show the countdown to the start of the drive and remove the "not scheduled" message. About a day before the drive starts fill in and enable "option 3" to add the countdown for the end of the drive. Sometime after the drive starts, disable "option 2" to hide the "drive has already started" message. Some time after the the drive ends and the tallies are posted but before the next drive is announced, disable option 3 and enable option 1. This will turn off the "drive has ended" message and replace it with the "no drive is scheduled" message. Yes, this is a hack. There really needs to be a generic template that calls "countdown" twice and produces custom message(s) with up to 2 timers depending on whether the event has started, is in progress, or has ended. I'm too sleepy to write that tonight, so I'll leave it up to others or I may do it eventually. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs)/( e-mail) 03:23, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
How come the awards don't seem to have been handed out yet? It's nearly half a month since the drive ended - according to the thread at the top of the page this has happened before. So a print encyclopedia, a strawberry shortcake, and a sycamore walk into a bar - wait, have you heard this one? ( talk) 11:27, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
(In reply to Rybec) What I meant was that he said (up above) that he generally waits a few weeks for any reviews to be completed, and I was saying that if it was taking this long for that to occur then it might be better to only count reviews that were completed by the time the drive officially ended. Seeing as they were apparently distributed, however, that statement ought to be dismissed, and as its maker I would endorse its dismissal myself. I thought that the awards had not yet been given because I've not received one myself, and I reviewed 17 nominations during the drive; 15 is supposed to be the minimum required to earn something. I thought that I reviewed all of those nominations correctly, but even if I did err in more than two - I specify this count because that would bring my valid count below 15 - I would have thought I'd receive notification of this.
