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 : - <inputbox> type=create editintro= preload= default=Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/July 2013 Backlog Elimination Drive/user buttonlabel=Create subpage bgcolor=#eeeeff width=100 </inputbox>
Then, add the links in the following format -
{{div col|cols=2}} #[URL_TO_DIFF name_of_submission] #[URL_TO_DIFF name_of_submission] #[URL_TO_DIFF name_of_submission] {{div col end}}
Do not include the http:// or https:// - this allows the reviewer to automatically go on secure on non-secure connections. Alternatively, you can use the template {{diff}} to show the links.

Reviewing Reviews

To ensure quality remains priority, reviews of reviews will be conducted at random times. If a review is found to be not done properly or done poorly, the review will be deducted 1 point. Any user may review other user's reviews if they wish.
If you pass a review, include the word "Pass" along with your user signature.(only three not four tildes here).
If you fail a review, include the word "Fail" along with your user signature. If a review is failed a third user shall review the same article and either pass or fail the article. If both reviewers fail the review, add a colon ( : ) in front of the number ( # ) symbol. At this point two will agree. The secondary reviewer who agrees with the original reviewer will receive a point, the secondary reviewer who disagrees with the other two will not receive any points.
If an article is deleted after the initial reviewer passed the article, 1 point is deducted.
To mark a review reviewed, beside the entry, included either "Pass" or "Fail" along with your user signature (only three not four tildes here).
===[[User:Username|Username]]=== {{Div col|cols=3}} # [URL GOES HERE article name goes here] - Pass -- ~~~ #: [URL GOES HERE article name goes here] - Fail -- ~~~ - Fail -- ~~~ # [URL GOES HERE article name goes here] - Pass -- ~~~ - Fail -- ~~~ - Pass -- ~~~~ {{Div col end}}
Any user who includes their name below and reviews at least 25 reviews from any other user participating in the drive will receive the Teamwork Barnstar.
Please note that if there are a lack of reviewers, distribution of awards at the end of the drive will be delayed until most of the reviews are reviewed.
