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:
 * 5 for The Working Man's Barnstar
 * 10 for The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
 * 20 for GA medal of merit
 * 40 to become a part of The Order of the Superior Scribes of Wikipedia (in other words, a superior barnstar)

Note that only the highest award will be given out to each participant based on their reviews; a user who reviews 13 Good Articles nominees will just receive The Tireless Contributor Barnstar, not both it and The Working Man's Barnstar.

Running total
You can still join! Feel free to start at any time.

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. Please state if the article is a pass, fail, or on hold. Make sure you follow up on holds.

Review
To ensure that all GA reviews were appropriately ended, I (Drilnoth) will be going through all reviews listed here which are not currently on hold to quickly scan them and make sure that there's no obvious problems, and if there are I'll list them for reassessment. I want to do this to ensure the continued quality of Wikipedia's GAs, and since this is a little bit of a contest I think it is important to double check everything. If anyone could take a brief look at the ones I reviewed, that would be great. Thanks. –Drilnoth (T • C) 21:37, 6 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thus far, every review has been well-done. So as to not use up anyone else's time unnecessarily, I'm just going to go ahead and give out the awards. Wikipedians are a trustworthy lot; I don't think we need to worry too much about this. :) –Drilnoth (T • C) 21:11, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
