This is a page for all participants in the Great Backlog Drive 2011 to show what they've achieved. Stand up and be counted!
This page lists different backlog areas; please feel free to list what you intend to work on and how much of the backlog you have cleared. Remember, this isn't a competition and there are no prizes; it's just a space for others to recognise the good work you've been doing.

Due to my not having been aware that one must check for copyright problems when reviewing pages, I've asked a user to have the articles I reviewed checked over again, to make sure nothing important was missed. This is for the good of the encyclopedia, after all. My apologies to everyone. Uncategorized pages (not counting unreviewed pages I also categorized): 108 |
