List of participants

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/November 2023 Backlog Drive/Participants}}

Scoring

• One point for a review
  • Additional points will be given for reviews of each draft that has been pending for:
    • more than 30 days, less than or equal to 90 days: 0.5 point
    • more than 90 days: 1.0 point
  • No points will be awarded for a review that is found to be incorrect
• One point for each re-review done

Notes:

1. Reviews status that are counted: 'Accepted', 'Declined', 'Rejected'.
2. A draft may have multiple reviews done, as long as the draft is being submitted repeatedly.
3. Adjustments to the final scores may be necessary to account for edge cases.

Re-reviews

• To re-review a submission, go to a participant's review log, and under the review in question add the wikitext #: '''Fail''' reasoning ~~~~. Fail can be replaced with either Pass or Invalid. If a review is marked as fail or invalid, it will not be counted when calculating leaderboard scores.
• It is recommended that each participant has had at least 10% of their reviews (or 3 reviews, whichever is more) re-reviewed.
• It is recommended that each participant has conducted a number of re-reviews greater than 10% of their number of reviews.
• Re-reviews can be conducted by any of the participants of the backlog drive.
• Do not re-review your own accepts/declines/rejects.
