How to help
Before joining this drive and start to review articles, please make sure you have read this page and have no questions. To join this drive, please add your name under to the "Participants" section below after you have reviewed at least one article. All reviews must be completed after 00:00 (UTC) on October 1, 2013 and before 0:00 (UTC) on November 1st, 2013. Reviews started outside of those parameters do not count.

To find an article to review for creation, go to this page. If you see that an article in the submission page that has previously been declined by another reviewer, you may still review the article for a point.

Here are some articles that can help you with reviewing articles:


 * GNG
 * Verifiability
 * NPOV
 * Original research
 * Reliable Sources
 * COPYVIO

Awards
To receive an award, please make sure to include your name and the number of reviews you have completed in the "Running Totals" section. Awards will be given by the co-ordinator (Mdann52) after this drive ends.

Running Total
For reviews during the drive to count as a "point", you must log each and every article that you have reviewed below. To log articles, use the following template and include it below the "Totals" section. Please note that when inserting the URL and the article name, remember to leave a space between the two.

Because submissions can be reviewed more than once, when you have completed a review, please provide a link to the "oldid" of the accept or decline edit you made. To find the "oldid" of an article, go to the article/submission's history page (the tab can be found to the right of the "edit" tab). Once there, click on the edit that you made when you passed or failed the article. Copy the URL and place it under your name using the template below.

Use the following box to create a subpage, replacing user with your username : -

Then, add the links in the following format -


 * 1) [URL_TO_DIFF name_of_submission]
 * 2) [URL_TO_DIFF name_of_submission]
 * 3) [URL_TO_DIFF name_of_submission]

Alternatively, you can use the template diff to show the links.
