Hi Robert. A link from WP:COIN lead me to the discussion about this incredible incident at ANI, in which you were involved. I am horrified that unsuspecting editors are used as guinea pigs in others' experiments on human behaviour. Sadly, this is not the first time this has happened... see User talk:Dr.XXXX and User talk:Raineym13. I'm sure there are others.
I fully support a new amendment to WP:NOT along the lines of "Wikipedia is not a laboratory". If you know a way to initiate discussion and future action on such a policy change, I would be willing to help however I can.

Hi Robert and thanks for your message noticing me that the above article i created has been nominated for speedy deletion because this article is allegedly under section section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
I would like to contest this nomination and followed the link you kindly posted on my page, but i have not found the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".
Could you please guide me to do this ?
Thanks.

User:Wikaviani - Your message is several weeks past due, but the issue has been taken care of. You created an empty placeholder. Please do not create empty placeholders. They do not serve any real purpose. I see many of them, and many of them are never filled in. I tagged it for speedy deletion as A3. You then added text to the article, all about three weeks ago. The speedy deletion was then declined by an administrator and the tag, which includes the button, were removed. The article is there, and has not been deleted. I suggest that you ask for advice as a new editor at the Teahouse; however, your effort at creating an article succeeded. I suggest that you edit Assyria and Neo-Assyrian Empire to provide links from these articles to your article on the war that ended the empire. Again, please do not create empty articles. If you want to build articles piece-by-piece, you may do so in draft space or user space; if you need advice on how to do that, just ask at the Teahouse.

Replying to question to question diff with question by Robert McClenon in closed ANI on Rfc by @Seraphim System:.

User:Nihlus - Yes. Some of the editors whom he dumped the list of stupid questions on are admins. He also seems to have a conspiratorial view about how particular admins have ownership of particular articles, and so he wants to know how to find out which admins own which articles.

Long list of questions that were asked in multiple places.
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Hi, there, sorry about the DRN case. I though I could fix up the issue by giving a quick ruling. Usually, I don't like much waiting and time wasting. I thought I could give a ruling like a judge. Now it appears as I can't.
Anyway, could you assist me with some information?
1. Since the parties are not obligated to comply with the advise of DRN moderator, what's the solution when someone is sure that the other parties are not going to agree with him anyway and a ruling from a judge is essential. I am sure DRN is not an option in this case. Could "Mediation" be an option? Is any user, even an administrator obligated to comply with the advise of Mediation Committee? If not, then is "Arbitration" an option? Is any user, even an administrator obligated to comply with the advise of Arbitration Committee?
2. What’s the difference between Dispute Resolution Noticeboard and a specialized noticeboard such as “Fringe theory noticeboard”? I know specialized noticeboards are subject specific. But my question is that whether the moderators in “Fringe theory noticeboard” are only administrators or general users as well? If there are general users as well, how can I become a fringe theory noticeboard volunteer? Do I need to list my username anywhere and/or add any template in my user page?
3. When I am in a dispute with a couple of admins in a Wikipedia page, what’s the process of reporting those abusive admins. Let’s say, the admins are reverting any edit that is against their personal views and beliefs. And those admins need to be removed from the page. The Wikipedia manual says as admins can be removed through a dispute resolution process. But it doesn’t explain how. Because DRN moderator or Mediation committee may not be able to remove an administrator. So, if an user is in dispute with administrators, should he directly file a case to Arbitration Committee?
4. How can I add a new section and subsection to a Wiki article and remove an existing section from a Wiki article in visual editor?
5. I found that some contributions are deleted from “History” page of an article. So how to delete a contribution and who can do it?
6. Wiki policy states as I should not copy contents from other websites and should rather write my own contents. But what if the contents are open source contents? Can I directly copy those in Wikipedia? Are online news posts open source, including the images in the news? Can I use these texts and images in Wikipedia without editing? Can I copy and paste statements of medical national and international organizations in Wikipedia without editing?
7. Where to find images for a Wikiedia article if the image is not already available in Wikimedia? Are the images collected from news posts open source? And many sites don't have their images copyrighted. Do those images qualify as open source? When I upload an image, Wikipedia asks for copyright information. I have no idea what information to provide? What info should I provide if the image is in open source? And if the image is owned by me? Wikipedia asks me to contact the copyright holder and ask them for copyright information for the image. But some websites don't have "Contact us" section, some other sites are unresponsive when they are contacted, and even when I contact a website owner, he may not be able to provide me copyright information as the images are not copyrighted. So what information to provide Wikipedia in such a case? How do Wikipedia verify if the images are already copyrighted or not. If I claim to be granted permission for reuse from the copyright holder, how does Wikipedia verify the copyright holder has actually granted me permission for reuse of the copyrighted content?
8. How to add videos to a Wikipedia article? Do I need to provide copyright information for a video available in Youtube? Are there other policies on videos such as policies for graphic videos?
9. When I create a new article, how do I save my private draft for the article. If I click on "Save", the draft will become public and will be accessible for anyone. But I like it to be private. Is it possible. Furthermore, when I edit on an existing article, is there a way I can save my edits as a draft before publishing? It is an essential function. Because some posts may be very long and will take a long time to write. So, my unsaved works can be lost if browser tab is closed or if the texts are accidentally selected and deleted. So saving draft is essential.
10. Where can I save the usernames of my co-writers in my Wikipedia account like a phone book? I can't memorize the usernames of every persons. Thus, I need to have a phone book when the usernames will be saved in the respective categories.
11. How can I be connected with the community to improve each Wikipedia article? I know each important article is being monitored by some administrators. But how do I know which administrators is monitoring a page so that I can discuss with them about improving the article? How to get connected with the community for editing articles? I heard that communication is important here. But how? Everyone is stranger here. Whom to contact among these random people?
12. What’s the use of pending changes reviewing by administrators and “pending change reviewers”? As much as I know anyone can revert another user’s edit. In that case, what will change if an edit is approved by an administrator or a “Pending changes reviewer”? Will other users be unable to revert the edit back then? If not, then what’s the use of pending changes reviewing?
Furthermore, how do the users know an edit has been approved by a administrator or a pending changes reviewers? Will the approval appear anywhere such as in the “History” page?
13. What’s the requirement and process for becoming a pending changes reviewer? Can anyone become a pending changes reviewer?

Reply to Long List of Questions
User:Abir Babu - I find your list of questions, as well as the matter that preceded it, to be troubling in a few ways. First, the original problem is that you, as a very new editor, came to a noticeboard that has its own rules, and went ahead and acted in a way that is contrary to those rulings. In particular, although our guidelines state that we do not act as judges, you decided to act as a judge. The most charitable explanation is that you are being impatient and want to accomplish things quickly. You are a new editor. Learn more about Wikipedia before getting involved in its disputes. In Wikipedia, there is no deadline. Second, you ask how to report abusive administrators. As a very new editor, you should not be concluding immediately that administrators are being abusive. Third, you ask how to become a pending changes reviewer. You aren't ready to become a pending changes reviewer. Fourth, some of your questions, such as about specialized noticeboards, can be answered by reading the guidelines at those noticeboards.
Some of your questions are reasonable questions for a new editor to ask of more experienced editors. I suggest that you ask this list, or a subset of it, at the Teahouse.

Robert McClenon, I have been learning Wikipedia now. And I will be researching on some topics. I do like to discuss with people. That's why I sent some questions to multiple users in their talk pages. As not all of them are expected to answer, I sent the questions to multiple users, and then stopped sending the questions. In some days, I will become more experienced. As you can't answer so many questions, can you just answer a few questions that will help me:
1. Where can I save the usernames of my co-writers in my Wikipedia account like a phone book? I can't memorize the usernames of every persons. Thus, I need to have a phone book when the usernames will be saved in the respective categories.
User:Abir Babu - If you are planning to make insulting comments about them, don't do it in Wikipedia. You may use an ASCII file on the hard drive of your computer or a pad of paper. You have already seen one approach not to use. If you want to explain what you want, ask at the Teahouse.

User:Abir Babu - If you want to discuss improving an article, discuss it on the article talk page. That is what article talk pages are for. If you want to ask other experienced editors whether that is true, ask them at the Teahouse. Please do not continue asking me general questions on my talk page when they can be asked either in a public place such as the Teahouse or the Help Desk or at article talk pages.

User:Dr.K. - Although the other editor says that they do not have a language problem, it appears to me that their reply is somewhere between en-2 and en-3. Unfortunately, there isn't a noticeboard for discussing paragraphs that are incomprehensible.

Hi Robert. I fully agree with both your comments. Thankfully, although, as you mentioned, there is no noticeboard specialising in handling incomprehensible sections, there are editors like you, who understand and care about content, and can take the time to render a professional opinion. In an imperfect world, your contribution to such cases is very valuable and very much appreciated. Thank you again.

Hello Robert McClenon, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!
Backlog update:
The new page backlog is currently at 12,878 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
We have successfully cleared the backlog of pages created by non-confirmed accounts before ACTRIAL. Thank you to everyone who participated in that drive.
Technology update:
Primefac has created a script that will assist in requesting revision deletion for copyright violations that are often found in new pages. For more information see User:Primefac/revdel.
General project update:
The Article Wizard has been updated and simplified to match the layout style of the new user landing page. If you have not yet seen it, take a look.
To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi Robert. I am not quite sure if you were replying to me there. But I left a clarification just in case. I used the ping template, not as a reply to you, but to alert you of my comment.

I came here to start yet another article about an author who has published multiple award-winning novels, but since you deleted the last one I put in (who has six different entire series of novels published and has been nominated for a few major awards, although he didn't get any yet), I guess I may as well not bother.
You win! No point in bothering with Wikipedia any more.

User:Dr.K. I wasn't referring to the bad-faith filing against me that I have never seen. I was referring to the report that I filed against three accounts who warned Mhhossein that criticizing the leader of Iran could be punishable by prison. Those socks have been blocked, but I don't know who the master is. It appears that there may be two different unreasonable or disruptive "sides" with regard to Khamenei, one of which includes Mhhossein, and another one which is pro-government, or that one "side" is deliberately trying to cause confusion (a form of trolling, such as good hand-bad hand).

Hi Robert. I saw the SPI you opened, involving the three socks. That was a bizarre incident, that's for sure. In any case, I added the SPI filed against you in the same thread on GW's talkpage, because I think it is part of the ongoing sock attack. Sorry if that caused a misunderstanding.

Mhhossin filed an AE against a sockpuppet:[[3]] (not because he was a sockpuppet, on 1RR grounds - which Mhhossin broke himself, but AE found ARBPIA didn't apply).

Not sure if the sock was Psychonot. Psychonot wouldn't have copied Robert's comments, as the socks did. The newest sock also opened an SPI against Robert. I don't think Psychonot would've done that.

Hi Robert
It's not really a big deal, but I think you may have misunderstood what the dispute at WP:DRN#Wikipedia:Move review/Log/2017 November was really about. It wasn't directly about the MRV itself, but rather that Jax 0677 was apparently unhappy with this edit, which removed the move review notice from the top of the article page in question. This has now spawned a new discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Move_review#Move_Review_tag which seems to be erring towards concluding that we shouldn't use that tag on articles at all, so the action of Jenks24 was in line with that, and also what most people regarded as common sense. Either way, it was in my opinion quite a frivolous matter to raise a DRN issue about, and so you probably weren't wrong to close it anyway.

I really appreciate your input on the case.
Despite yourself and ProgrammingGeek attempting to resolve the issue, the user 'Nihlus' has chosen to close the board and exclusively reprimand me for supposedly not listening to others and not adhering to established consensus, when the entire drift of my filing was that the only apparent consensus in talk consisted of three users either refusing to respond or engaging in what would otherwise be clearly regarded as WP:TE.
I would ask what you would recommend as a next course of action. You mentioned formal mediation, others frequently mention RfC, but given my last attempt, I'm confused as to what form it would have to take to be clear and urgent, but not rejected for lack of precise protocol.
Otherwise I would just as soon give up on the site entirely if procedure like this is to be nakedly uncontroversial.

@Equilibrium103: Perhaps you should have sought further clarification from me since I closed it, rather than bringing it to someone else's talk page. I greatly dislike "1 vs many" disputes appearing on the DRN, as the others are unlikely to change their mind. DRN isn't meant to be used to push your ideas onto the page without consensus; plus, RfC is more appropriate for these situations, as they allow outside voices in rather than in-fighting between the regulars of the page.

@Nihlus: That seems rather odd thing to say when you not only made your point overridingly final, but made it clear that you saw absolutely nothing of note whatsoever except for said point. It would seem an odd use of time to reject an accusation of "not listening to others" (when I exhaustively addressed every point brought to bear and was met largely with ad hominem, ad populum and ad baculum.) or continue to bring topically relevant concerns to such a person. But I'm definitely sorry if being the only one out of an extremely small sample size interested in pursuing Wikipedia policies other than WP:CON made you as pessimistic about voluntary mediation as I was.
@Robert McClenon: I'm grateful for your help. Would specific reference to inclusion of the sources and text "should the following revision be included?" or a general reference to the paragraph "is the following passage acceptably NPOV?" be more likely to be received?

hello, I see that you declined my submission because the content reads as an advertisement. I understand the concerns and thought to tread lightly when considering the content I added to the page however this is a very contemporary literary source. I used the Wikipedia guidelines and the already existing Wikipedia page for This Bridge Called My Back as inspiration for the content that I included.

Thanks very much for the speedy review of my submission and for the comments you made. I have done as you suggested and have posted the revised submission on th existing Jorge Piqueras stub. Please let me know if I have shortened the lists enough. (I have cut them by about half.)
I decided to work first in English, but am also translating the submission into Spanish for posting on the existing Spanish page. Is there anything I should keep in mind before doing so?

User:C.E. Graves - You did a reasonable job of expanding the existing stub into a more nearly complete article. I don't have any advice about translating the article into Spanish for the Spanish Wikipedia, and don't know whether you should ask for help at the Teahouse, but you might do better to find the Help Desk or welcome center for the Spanish Wikipedia and ask them for advice. Any language version of Wikipedia has its own rules and practices that are not necessarily the same as those here in the English Wikipedia. Thank you for expanding a stub into a reasonable article.

Thanks Robert. We worked very hard to put together the information for this page. I worked with the Peruvian art critic Jorge Villacorta, who is writing a book on Jorge Piqueras. Could you let us know what would be needed to make the article complete - that is, of course, the goal. Meanwhile, we will work with the Spanish Wikipedia on posting the Spanish version.

Dear Robert,
Since I am new to creating contents on Wikipedia, I am not very well-versed as other users. Since the decline of the first draft, I have made some revisions on "Health Ecosystem". Would you please kindly give me some feedback on what to improve?

Hi Robert,
I wasn't trying to forum shop, I really don't know what to do and the system for resolving disputes is byzantine. The noticeboard says start here for any disputes. I hope your decision to close is not with prejudice. It was suggested to me to try dispute resolution and Beetstra agreed, so I filed it. There is no formal admin closure at the EL noticeboard, I requested a general admin closure, so I guess I'll have to wait on that. I will try the Village Pump on the overall policy. But for the specific dispute with Beetstra, would WP:3O be an option or are there too many people invovled? Thank you. - Mnnlaxer | talk | stalk15:06, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-11-22T15:06:00.000Z","author":"Mnnlaxer","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Mnnlaxer-2017-11-22T15:06:00.000Z-External_link_at_Carleton_Knights_football","replies":["c-Robert_McClenon-2017-11-22T16:26:00.000Z-Mnnlaxer-2017-11-22T15:06:00.000Z"]}}-->
User:Mnnlaxer - There are definitely too many editors for Third Opinion. In general, if you file a dispute at a noticeboard, you are agreeing to have it decided there, and the external links noticeboard is a reasonable place, and it is where you filed it. I don't have a specific suggestion about the lack of closure; if all else fails, a bot will archive the thread.

Hi
I deprodded as it is a current series airing on CBS (notability and whatnot etc.).
Admittedly it is need of improvement, and if there is none over the next week ...
The info box is accurate and completed, and it really is barely a stub at present - but deletion seems a little much

I forgot to say, you may have missed that the whole of the article is was plagiarised from the CBS page.
Literally the WHOLE of the article is just copy paste! This should have been blanked with a plagiarism notice on it, or instantly deleted
I have instead heavily reduced the text and removed ALL plagiarism :¬)

Hello, Robert McClenon. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Hello Robert McClenon, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!
Backlog update:
The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!
Outreach and Invitations:
If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: {{subst:NPR invite}}. Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.
New Year New Page Review Drive
A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.
General project update:
ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.
If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. — TonyBallioni (talk) 20:27, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-12-12T20:27:00.000Z","author":"TonyBallioni","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-TonyBallioni-2017-12-12T20:27:00.000Z-New_Page_Reviewer_Newsletter_2","replies":[]}}-->

User:Marcus Antony - In looking at the history of the page, your comment to me is puzzling. You created the page, although it was very incomplete, and I moved it from user space to draft space. It is your job to put more information in it, not mine. You put a page into article space that was a candidate for speedy deletion, and I preserved it from deletion.

Hey, Robert. I am wondering if you could help solve this sort of dispute I am having with Wiki-Leader. From his past edits, it seems obvious that he is only interested in disruptively editing articles about Penang, such as Penang and George Town, by removing sourced information and placing inappropriate templates.
He also insists on his own POV that Johor Bahru is the second largest city/metropolitan area in Malaysia, although his claims are unsupported by any substantive evidence or data, such as the National Census from Malaysia's Department of Statistics. He made several unverified statements to that effect in the Johor Bahru article in the past. We argued in my talk page regarding this as well.
From his most recent edit on Penang on 16 December, it can be inferred that he is only interested in continuing his disruptive editing behaviour towards any Penang-related articles.
Please advise on any further action to be taken. Thank you.

The Happy Holiday Barnstar
How about combining a Barnstar with a Christmas Card? That is why this message is appearing on your talk page. Simultaneously and at the same time, this barnstar is conferred upon you because during this past year you worked and contributed your time to improve the encyclopedia. You also have received far too little recognition for your contributions. In addition, this is a small attempt at spreading holiday cheer. I've appreciated all the things that you have done for me.

No sorry User:Robert McClenon I honestly am coming to you as you are an administrator and I thought you could possibly help shine some light on this statement (Other encyclopedias are among the sources that may be helpful in deciding what titles are in an encyclopedic register, as well as what names are most frequently used) I'm just curious to know if other Wiki's like this are considered legitimate sources Haven Wiki truly this has nothing to do with the Edge (wrestler) page I'm just hoping to learn more and I expressed myself enough on the talk page about the issue.

Hi Robert, thank you for looking over my filing on Dispute Resolution. I won't say I'm not disappointed by the outcome, but I can understand how you'd find the situation daunting given the complexity of the subject matter, and the workload of cases you have to attend to.
You made a comment that you closed my filing because its aspects were "unusual." That may be true, but that's a consequence of the situation being unusual. Over the past 48 hours, more than 20,000 bytes have been removed from an 80,000 byte article with minimum discussion on the Talk page—most of them were done with zero discussion. All of these bytes have been text, not graphics. This text was sourced to dozens of reliable secondary sources. There is genuine question as to how these editors have been able to read through all these sources in 48 hours...and if they have read through them. There have been questions raised about NPOV being upheld in my writing, but if that was the issue, the aggressive editors would be changing wording to make it more balanced. Instead they are suppressing entire subjects and eliminating sources en masse.
You said that you were impressed by the number of editors arrayed against me. That's understandable, but also understand that truth and logic can't merely be decided by the ad populum fallacy—there is also the quality of the argument being presented. In the case of User:Volunteer Marek and some other opponents, there initially was no argument whatsoever (only evasion of the Talk page). Then there was an argument where a university publication relating to the subject was characterized as a "trash" source. [1] Understand, my usage of it was not just dismissed as trash, the source itself was. When anti-intellectualism appears to be guiding a large-scale edit, regardless of how many people are supporting it, this is not a situation that should be ignored. Indeed, the number of people supporting it makes it an even greater cause for concern.
I know we can't turn back time, but please take another look at what is happening on this page, and let me know if you have any guidance as to how it can be addressed.

User:GPRamirez5 - Are you asking me what you should do next, or are you asking me to justify my closure? I already have justified my closures. I am somewhat troubled by your suggestion that if so many editors disagree with you, you must be right. Consider that they may be right. I did advise you that the next steps might be either a Request for Comments or a Request for Mediation. The latter will require that the other editors agree to mediation.

User:GPRamirez5 - No. No. No. If a large number of Wikipedia editors take issue with your one peer-reviewed academic publication, they very likely have their reasons, such as their own reliable sources, or that they and you disagree as to how to interpret the publication. If a large number of Wikipedia editors say one thing, and your source says something else, you ought to consider that one of two situations is the case. First, they may right. Second, although they are wrong, it may not be worth arguing with the community. In any case, either request formal mediation (but that will require that the other editors agree to it), or publish a Request for Comments, or go back to the article talk pages. And please don't file multiple dispute resolution requests in 48 hours; that is bludgeoning the process.

I think we both know that's not true, Robert.

You deleted my reply. That isn't the same. If you are trying to defend your action in deleting my admonition, then I strongly disagree.

Hello Robert. Thank you for your last review.
I've improved the article since then. I've used WP:NPOV as my guidance.
I think that this article is important to the discussion of the SAFE investment vehicle. The discussion is important since there are more studies on the vehicles being released with differing conclusions.
I also think that the article is important as a major part of the equity crowdfunding climate, as per Crowdfund Insider and Venture Beats.
I do understand that I may be subjected to unconscious bias in writing about my employer. Please do provide more guidance on how to make the article more neutral and thus compliant with Wikipedia's policies.
Thank you.

User:Vinhloc30796 - I will let you wait for another reviewer. I understand that you know that you may be biased in favor of your employer. I may be biased against paid editors, and will deal with that bias by letting another reviewer review your draft.

Hello Robert McClenon, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!
Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!
We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!
The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.
Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:
The total number of reviews completed for the month.
The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.
NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.
If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. — TonyBallioni (talk) 20:24, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-12-30T20:24:00.000Z","author":"TonyBallioni","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-TonyBallioni-2017-12-30T20:24:00.000Z-New_Years_new_page_backlog_drive","replies":[]}}-->
