GA Sweeps update

[edit]

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) 00:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't think so! I count four supports and a "Great work, Mm40!" from KV5, his implied support. As you can see here, "Looks good to me" counted as a support, so "Great work should also". Also, it was a bit odd not having promotions today; I was looking forward to 'em. Mm40 (talk) 12:06, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review Alconétar Bridge

[edit]

Hi Mm40! I am currently reviewing the GA nomination for the Alconétar Bridge article. As it is my first GA review, I would like to have your advice before I take a decision. I already provided feedback and some improvements have been made since than. I am mostly interested in followings:

  1. Does, in your view, the prose quality meet GA criteria?
  2. I find the article is still not broad enough in its coverage, particularly in regards of cultural heritage protection and conservation. However I understand that there is a lack of sources. What is your view on this?
  3. Any further comments welcome.

The Candle

[edit]

Hi Mm40, it’s me: Artichoke-Boy.

As you may or may not know (or care), I’ve recently been creating a potential article here on a cognitive performance test, that I'm planning on publishing. I think that I may be finished. I’m also planning on making a DYK out of it. Even though I’ve looked it over numerous times, I just wanted to check with you if it has enough prose for a DYK nomination, and if the references are okay and such. Just a brief run-through would suffice.

Thanks a bunch...a really appreciate your help. ---Artichoke-Boy (talk)(sign) 16:55, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good and ready to move into the mainspace. If you're looking to expand it further, you might try a Google Books search. But it's pretty good as is; my only fixes would be minor MoS things, nothing major. Mm40 (talk) 17:11, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, awesome. Thanks again. Oh, and by the way, I did do a Google Book search. It’s all in the "References" section. ---Artichoke-Boy (talk)(sign) 17:55, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NFL FT?

[edit]

I noticed your comment at Staxringold's talk page about possibly working on NFL lists. What do you think about working on an awards FT, as has been done for the NHL, NBA and MLB? I had been thinking about just working on a few isolated lists, such as National Football League Offensive Player of the Year Award, but if you're interested, we can strive for an FT. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:41, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I'd be up for it. I was thinking about starting, but I was intimidated by not having any official lists of awards to go by. I guess all the "Team" and "Individual" awards listed in {{NFL awards}} would suffice? If you want to go through with this, I'll spam WT:NFL at some point.

Thanks for that review! You really dug out some odd mistakes I'd made! Staxringold talkcontribs 19:16, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it was just the errors I found when prepping LAD list. Since I copied the format from you, I figured you'd have made those same ones ;). Oddly, that list is further along in its FL nomination than its DYK nomination, where it hasn't received any attention. So, what's up next? When I have anymore time IRL (read: summer), I'm going to write about the world's first pizzeria. They lined their ovens with lava! If that doesn't make a good hook, I'm not sure what does.

February GA Sweeps update

[edit]
Progress as of January 2010

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) 02:37, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps Completed!

[edit]

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!

A favour

[edit]

Hi, you might remember you helped me a while ago with my first GA review. I've a favour to ask. I'm reviewing Jim Brandstatter at the moment, the review is here. The article is not very good and my instinct was to fail it at once. However, I though it was worth making some suggestions. The nominator does not seem to accept some of the things I've said. However, he has started to make changes but it still needs a lot of work, in my view. Could you have a look and see what you think? Advice would be appreciated! Thanks. --Sarastro1 (talk) 20:05, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since I wrote, we have managed to move forward a bit and he's asking for other people to copy-edit and help out a bit. I still think we're heading for a fail at the moment. I'd still appreciate it if you'd have a quick look. Cheers. --Sarastro1 (talk) 08:25, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GAN backlog elimination drive - 1 week to go

[edit]
First off, on behalf of myself and my co-coordinator Wizardman, I would like to thank you for the efforts that you have made so far in this GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a success, and that is thanks to you. See this Signpost article about what this drive has achieved so far.

We're currently heading into the final week of the drive. At this time, if you have any GANs on review or on hold, you should be finishing off those reviews. Right now, we have more GANs on review or on hold than we do unreviewed. If you're going to start a GA review, please do so now so you can complete it by the end of the month and so that the nominator has a full 7-day window to address any concerns.

See you at the finish!

Thank you for your participation in the April 2010 GAN backlog elimination drive

[edit]
GAN backlog elimination drives chart up to 1 May

On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive.

  • 661 total nominations were reviewed. 541 of them passed (~81.8%), 97 (~14.7%) failed, and 23 (~3.5%) ended on hold.
  • The WP:GAN page started at 110,126 bytes length on 1 April and ended at 43,387 bytes length at the end of 30 April (a 66,739 byte reduction in the page, about 60.6% less).
  • Excluding extremes, the longest wait for someone's GAN to be review was about 11.5 weeks at the beginning. (I mistook the figure when I reported to the Signpost that it was 13.) At the end, with the exception of one that was relisted, the longest wait is now at 10 days.
  • 63 different users participated, each having completed at least one GAN, with others also having helped out behind-the-scenes in making the drive a success.
  • The drive started with 463 GA nominations remaining and 388 unreviewed. At the end of the month, we ended with 89 remaining (374 or about 80.8% less) and 47 unreviewed (341 or about 87.9% less).

For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia.

List of Phi Kappa Psi brothers FLC

[edit]

Hello, Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Phi Kappa Psi brothers/archive1 was listed 20 days ago, and is now also listed as one of the "nominations urgently needing reviews." So far four reviewers have weighed in. All objections have been met. There are two votes of support, and none opposed. As per The Rambling Man, "typically, although not prescriptively, Dabomb or I will look for around four votes of support." He also suggested that I contact "regular reviewers" such as yourself to see if you would be willing to comment. I'm happy to address constructive criticism. Hopefully upon resolving critiques, if you believe that the list is worthy, you will also grant support. Thanks, NYCRuss ☎ 16:57, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up

[edit]
Thanks very much to all who helped with the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive. We were very close to meeting our target of 7,500 articles remaining in the backlog. Our most shining success is the incredible reduction in the backlog of Special Requests. That part of the project saw a drop from 62 articles in the queue, some dating back to February of 2009, down to a stunning THREE, all of which were being edited at the close of the drive. The Special Requests page will now be a great resource for people looking to tidy up their article in advance of a GA or FA nomination, instead of a place where articles go to die.

Moving forward

GOCE backlog elimination drive chart up to 31 May

The drive has not only forced a great leap forward in reducing the backlog. It has helped promote the Guild, and led to a greater awareness of the level of vigilance required to keep the backlog manageable. Ideas such as charts, graphs, and barnstars helped motivate editors, and meeting other users helped quell any feelings gnomish editors may have had in the past that they were toiling all alone. Keep up the good work people!!

Stats

Almost everyone who participated will receive a barnstar. We will be handing these out over the next week or so.

  • Five people will receive the highest award for word count (80,000 or more), the Most Excellent Order of the Caretaker's Star: Bullock, Diannaa, NielsenGW, S Masters, and Torchiest.
  • The Order of the Superior Scribe (40,000+) goes to Auntieruth55, Bobnorwal, Kojozone, Lfstevens, and Mlpearc.
  • fds wins the Modern Guild of Copy Editors Barnstar (30,000+).
  • The Old School League of Copyeditors Barnstar for 20,000+ is awarded to A. Parrot, mono, Truthkeeper88, and The Utahraptor.
  • the Tireless Conributor Barnstar (12,000+) goes to dtgriffith, Laurinavicius, and Quinxorin.
  • Buggie111, Brickie, cymru lass, liquidluck, noraft, and Yellow Monkey get the Cleanup Barnstar for 8,000+ words.

FLC review urgent

[edit]

Hi! Since you are familiar with reviewing Lists of National Treasures of Japan, I thought you could help out with the following... List of National Treasures of Japan (archaeological materials) is presently a featured list candidate and marked as Nominations urgently needing reviews which means that it is in danger of failing the nomination due to a lack of reviews. I'd be happy, if you could have a look at the list and leave comments, questions or suggestions at the nomination page. The criteria to be checked against are found here.

The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 15:00, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Since you already reviewed a List of National Treasures of Japan, I thought you could help out with the following. List of National Treasures of Japan (crafts: swords) is currently a featured list candidate and listed as Nominations urgently needing reviews which means that it might fail unless somebody (you ;-) ) reviews the list. So far it received two "support" votes and one "oppose". All issues raised in the oppose vote have been addressed (the reviewer, "The Rambling Man", just needs to revisit the page). I'd be happy if you could take the time to review the list and leave comments, questions, suggestions and a vote ("support" or "oppose") on the nomination page.

March 2011 GAN backlog elimination drive a week away

[edit]

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of March. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 50. 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. On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, we hope we can see you in March. MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 00:10, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GAN Mentorship

[edit]

Hey there! Saw you have offered to serve as a GAN mentor and are interested in sports. Well my main interest especially here is sports, and while I have previously reviewed GAs, I have been mostly inactive since late 2009 and could use a refresher. I was hoping you could help me out a little in whatever way you see fit. Thanks! MobileSnail 04:37, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GOCE drive newsletter

[edit]

The Guild of Copy Editors – May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive

The Guild of Copy Editors invite you to participate in the May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive began on May 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on May 31 at 23:59 (UTC). The goals of this backlog elimination drive are to eliminate as many articles as possible from the 2009 backlog and to reduce the overall backlog by 15%. ! NEW ! In an effort to encourage the final elimination of all 2009 articles, we will be tracking them on the leaderboard for this drive.

Awards and barnstars
A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants. Some are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page.

We look forward to meeting you on the drive! Your GOCE coordinators: SMasters, Diannaa, Tea with toast, Chaosdruid, and Torchiest
