The 2014 March AfC Backlog Elimination Drive took place from March 1st, 2014 to March 31st, 2014. Before joining this elimination drive, please make sure you have read through this entire page. If you have questions about the information on that page an/or unsure about some info, please do not join this drive until you fully understand everything. If you have any questions, please leave a message on this page's talk page or Fremantle99 (talk · contribs)'s talk page.
How to help edit
Before joining this drive and start to review articles, please make sure you have read this page and have no questions. All reviews must be completed after 00:00 (UTC) on March 1st, 2014 and before 0:00 (UTC) on April 1st, 2014. 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:
In order to assist with drives Excirial (talk · contribs) wrote a program - AFCBuddy - that can generate the mandatory list of diffs for a user. It is generally much simpler to use AFCBuddy.
Instructions for registering for the backlog drive, whether or not you're using AFCBuddy:
| I. | Create the subpage that will be used to record your reviews.
Instructions for logging WITHOUT AFCBuddy 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 this template: {{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}}
Alternatively, you can use the template {{diff}} to show the links. |
| II. | Register for the drive.
To register yourself as a participant in the AFC backlog drive, please edit the "Participants" section and add one of these templates on a new line at the bottom:
For information regarding AFCBuddy and its functionality, please refer to: User:Excirial/AFCBuddy. |

Reviewing Reviews edit
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 2 points. Any user may review other user's reviews if they wish.
If you pass a review, Use: {{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|P|<OptionalCommentary>}}
If you fail a review, Use: {{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|F|<OptionalCommentary>}}
If a review is failed a third user shall review the same article and either pass or fail the article. If both users fail the review the aformentioned two points will be deducted from the users score. If the secondary reviewer passes the article no points will be deducted.
