Veteran drive participants may notice that our backlog looks a little different this month. After a bit of discussion, we have added {{ cleanup tense}} to the list of templates that mark articles as suitable for copy editing. Since that template had a backlog, we have temporarily extended the age of our backlog from three months to ten years. All of those old articles count as "old" articles for this drive and should be marked with *O in your lists. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 15:37, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
I have also enjoyed clearing up monthly backlogs! It occurred to me that this sort of exercise might be worth considering for the Blitzes. Years ago, we used to clean up articles in specific subject areas—I remember one was Cooking—although I have no idea how the lists were drawn up. Twofingered Typist ( talk) 19:23, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
Do we specifically welcome the new contributors after each drive? If not, maybe a special barnstar for joining the group? Lfstevens ( talk) 07:54, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
I see that one of the articles I was working on (Dark Reign (comics)) has been completed overnight by someone else in the drive. What's the process for acknowledging partial work by another editor? I see that it's been done under one of Tenryuu's articles but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to put that there or the person who completed it is. Contrawwftw ( talk) 20:46, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
