Wikipedia:Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/December 2011

This Good article nominations backlog elimination drive was a one-month-long effort (originally organized by the GAN wikiproject and other users) to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. Please make sure that you read the whole process of Good Article review before starting to review an article. The co-ordinators for this drive were: AstroCog, and OhanaUnited. If you have any questions, leave a message in the drive's talk page. This drive started on December 1, 2011 and ended on December 31, 2011 at 23:59 UTC

Awards

To receive an award, please include your name and the number of reviews you have completed as part of this drive. Please keep a running total next to your name. Awards will be given by the co-ordinator after this drive ends.

This is the scheme for the awards:

At least 2 GANs reviewed: The Invisible Barnstar.

At least 5 GANs reviewed: The Working Man's Barnstar.

At least 10 GANs reviewed: The Tireless Contributor Barnstar.

At least 15 GANs reviewed: The WikiProject Good Articles Medal of Merit.

At least 25 GANs reviewed: The Order of the Superior Scribe of Wikipedia.

In addition, the person who reviews the most Good Article nominations during the backlog elimination drive will receive the Content Review Medal of Merit. (Unfortunately, because of financial problems, we are not able to give away automobiles at this time.)

Running total

Only pass/fail will be recognized as completing a review. If necessary, you can put the article on hold if the article needs to be edited further to be passed. Once you have passed or failed the article after putting it on hold, then include your review below. Quick-fails will not be counted. Article reviews started before December 31 but completed after December 31 are eligible to be counted into the running total. Reviews started before December 1 do not count. Please state if the article is a pass, fail, or on hold. Make sure you follow up on holds.

Articles marked with an asterisk (*) indicates an inquiry by a co-ordinator is taking place.

Please log entries in the following format:
