Wikipedia:Good article review circles/Coordinator instructions
Below are the coordinator's instructions for WP:Good article review circles, if the project gains traction I will consider creating a user script and a bot to automate parts of the process.
Pairing
[edit]- Purge the page and remove all nominations with a red status light (🔴) from the nomination pool as a user has already begun reviewing the article.
- Ensure all users in the pool have reviewed at least 5 articles or have 5,000 English Wikipedia edits.
- Find four nominations that are compatible with one another (check the topic-to-review parameter) and create a new section at WP:GARC/Circles using {{GARC-new-circle}}. Also ensure that each user has been recently active. Also aim for each article in the circle to have a similar length and complexity.
- Removed the entries from the nomination pool
- Send a message on the talk page of each user in the circle using {{GARC-talk-message}}
- Once all paired users have accepted, ping all users notifying them they are ready to go.
- a) If a user declines an invitation remove them from the circle at WP:GARC/Circles and replace them with another nomination. Be sure to notify all parties involved on their talk page. b) If 24 hours elapse and a user still hasn't accepted the nomination then the circle still proceeds with the user included.
