Thank you, researching, composing, gardening user, for quality articles on the Portal:Cheshire that you created and maintain, such as Ancient parishes of Cheshire, and for using your professional command of language to speak up for making a difference between a personal attack and an expression of "go away and do not bother me again", and for how even banned users can contribute to the encyclopedia, if permitted, - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (22 February 2009, 17 May 2010)!

GAN December 2013 Backlog Drive

 
Hello! A GAN Backlog Drive will begin in less than 4 days!

In past Backlog Drives, the goal was to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. In the upcoming drive, another goal will be added - raising as much money as we can for the Wikimedia Foundation. How will this work? Well, its pretty simple. Any user interested in donating can submit a pledge at the Backlog Drive page (linked above). The pledge should mention the amount of money the user is willing to donate per review. For example, if a user pledges 5 cents per review and 100 nominations are reviewed, the total donation amount is $5.00.

At the time this message was sent out, two users have submitted pledges for a total of 8 cents per review. All pledges, no matter how much money, are greatly appreciated. Also, in no way is this saying you must make a pledge.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or leave a message on the Backlog Drive talk page. And remember, there are less than 4 days before the drive starts!--EdwardsBot (talk) 03:08, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
