== July 2007 GAC backlog elimination drive ==

A new elimination drive of the backlog at ] will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit ] and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{tl|GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the ] may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

Hi, Davodd!


]
I'm considering putting ] up for peer review and possible GA status. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it? I've just gone through it and done some cleanup work and think that everything except the criticism section is looking pretty good. Criticism needs some more content, though. Any other thoughts? Thanks! -- <span style="background-color: #EECCFF;">]<span style="font-size: smaller;"> (] | ])</span></span> 17:35, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
: Well, it couldn't hurt - and the page has gotten much better than it was when it started. Even if it doesn't pass, you will get good critical observations from a fresh perspective. I think the biggest struggle you are going to have is with ] since neither GA nor Peer Review like long lists due to their poor prose. They will suggest that it be re-written in paragraph form. I have the scars of former GA and Peer Review efforts myself to know that one. ;-) - ] 21:49, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
