32-23 = 9 left anyone think there is NO Possible way we could clear out Jan and May before the anniversary of this project tomorrow? The-Pope (talk) 12:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This project has been far more successful than I could have ever imagined, everyone involved big or small has a reason to be proud!--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 12:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I must admit that I thought the "by topic" approach that I pushed at WP:URBLP would be the solution, but it's only worked in certain topics - this project's approach of "by month" has been the only real solution to the problem. You created this page at 20:50, 1 July 2010 UTC... so we have under 8 hours to do 6 here and 50-7 from May 2010, to clear out EVERY single UBLP that was tagged when this project was started except for the ones from June 2010 and definitely every UBLP that existed when the whole WP:BLPRFC issue happened! Outstanding work by all, regardless of whether we hit this mini-target or not. The-Pope (talk) 13:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, congrats to everyone! I can't imagine, today, how big a pile 60,000 articles must have seemed at the time, a mere 3710 left seems like a dainty walk in the park by comparison. I picked off the penultimate January (Vir Singh remains) and ten from May, perhaps that will get us a bit closer! --joe decker ^{talk to me} 15:20, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
