Wording query

It says "Article reviews started after December 18, 2012 but completed after January 1, 2013 are eligible to be counted into the running total." Don't you mean "Article reviews started before December 18, 2012, but completed before [or by] January 1, 2013, are eligible to be counted into the running total."? Or is this really a drive that goes on forever? BlueMoonset (talk) 16:55, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Oh, thanks. Rewording. I always get confused with "after" and "before" xD — ΛΧΣ21™ 16:56, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Question

I know the page says "do not modify", but I was wondering if it would be helpful to the reviewers to update the status of the articles under my totals from "under review" to pass/fail. Let me know if you would like these to be updated. Thanks. --Tea with toast (話) 03:49, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Help needed doing spot checks?

I can help do some random spot-checks, if the drive coordinators need some assistance. Let me know. --Noleander (talk) 17:19, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I'd be glad if you help. I am very busy and I don't know if I would spot check them by myself. Thanks. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 19:27, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Hahc21: I'm finishing up with the random spot checks. Of course, I did not spot-check my own reviews. Could you (or another drive coordinator) spot-check my reviews? Thanks. --Noleander (talk) 00:47, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I will this week :) And thank you for all the help. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 02:26, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Awards for the drive.

It's been nearly a month since the drive ended. When are the participants going to be awarded? Oh, is this the Top Secret room? I had no idea... (talk) 03:40, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

I will give the awards this weekend, I guess. I needed to solve some issues with some reviews, and get them all checked.Thanks. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 18:48, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Okey-doke! Oh, is this the Top Secret room? I had no idea... (talk) 21:30, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

I don't think there is a requirement to validate "all" the reviews. Spot-checking 20% to 50% should be adequate to identify any editors that are bending the rules. --Noleander (talk) 03:54, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Well, that's right. In the last drive, we checked around 500 of the total 700 reviews, but we don't have the power now. I will handle the barnstarts tomorrow. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 04:03, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Here are a couple of templates that can be used for the 5 and 10 level awards. --Noleander (talk) 22:01, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
