There is currently not much going on at this time but there is a very large backlog. We ask everyone to help out by reviewing nominations and helping other reviewers that may need second opinions or just have general questions about reviewing articles.
Results of the Backlog Elimination Drives Request For Comment
The following were proposals that will be introduced in the next Backlog Elimination Drive:
Proposal 3: Disqualifying process: Each user with more than 5 removed reviews may be disqualified from the drive.
Proposal 4 - Part 2: Drive duration: Drives will last for one month.
Proposal 5: Drive scope: Drives will only be aimed to review the oldest nominations. Older nominations are those with more than one-to-two months on the queue. Nominations with less than a month should be excluded from the drive until all older nominations are reviewed.
Proposal 6 - Part 1: Drive and barnstars, Part 1: Barnstars will now be given for users who reviewed 5, 10 and 25 nominations. There will be neither leaderboard or a number-one position race, and disruptive competition for holding the highest number of reviews is discouraged.
Proposal 6 - Part 3: Drive and barnstars, Part 3: Each user may submit up to two reviews for consideration to receive a special barnstar which will be awarded to the best three reviews of the drive. A vote may be held with coordinators, drive reviewers and participants voting for their favourite review in order to select the three reviewers who will receive the award [each reviewer may receive only one award].
