One week in, 25% down, that's good progress
Here we are one week in and the backlog has dropped from about 2000 to just under 1500.

Let's shoot for &lt;1000 by the 15th and "half of what's left on the 15th" by the 23rd (while maintaining quality reviews, of course)?

I would encourage everyone do do at least one "re-review" for every 5-10 reviews they do so that all reviewers have at least 10% of his submissions re-reviewed and those new to AFC can get feedback on 20-30% of their reviews. I figure this is good enough to give meaningful feedback. Yes, I'm a hypocrite, but I'll get more re-reviews out soon. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs) 14:45, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I think you meant veteran reviewers should do re-reviews. As a newbie, I never even heard of re-reviews. Care to explain it more? Dovid (talk) 16:42, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * See WikiProject Articles for creation/October 2013 Backlog Elimination Drive for full instructions. Basically it just means you double check somebody else's work.
 * Moving back to the original subject, I notice the backlog is trickling down more slowly than previous drives, but more re-reviewing is being done, so people are being more careful. Anne in particular is doing a good job of spotting copyvios. I've actually passed a whole bunch this afternoon, which I thought was odd, either I'm getting sloppy, I'm accepting a 20 year offline copy of The New York Times with no weblink as a reliable source unquestionably, or by the time submissions get to the front of the queue, they've been declined and cleaned up a few times. Interesting data point, anyway. Ritchie333  (talk)  (cont)   16:48, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Related, but the Category:AfC submissions with missing AfC template numbers are now heading below 900. Rankersbo (talk) 09:57, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Now down to the last page Rankersbo (talk) 19:18, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Clean (with the execption of a few CSDs that are still pending) Hasteur (talk) 15:10, 17 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Just a heads up, and at the same time, it is also recreating approved submissions apparently ignoring edit conflicts.  So, please be extra vigilant looking in the "missing afc template" category and if you see something that already exists, please check the history and see if CitBot just recreated it, if so, just undo that edit. :) Technical 13 (talk) 19:30, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
