=== June Drive===
Congratulations, all! The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify/Drives/2012/June|June Drive]] concluded last month, with promising results:
* 1100 articles were wikified and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikify/Drives/2012/June/Log|logged]] (several hundred weren't)<ref>1100 articles were logged, yet the statistics show the backlog was reduced by 1653 articles (and we mustn't forget that additional articles get tagged during the drive). This means several hundred articles were wikified but not logged.</ref>
* The overall goal of reducing [[:category:Articles that need to be wikified|the backlog]] from 20,600 to 19,500 was {{color|green|150.3% complete}}, bringing it down to 18,947 articles.
* The secondary goal of clearing out [[:category:articles that need to be wikified with reasons given|the reason parameter category]] was {{color|red|54.2% complete}} ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Articles that need to be wikified with reasons given}} articles left).

The first place was held by [[User:Wilhelmina Will|Wilhelmina Will]], who wikified a total of 365 articles. On the whole, thirty-one Wikipedians participated in the drive,<ref>Only wikifiers who logged at least one article were counted.</ref> which is 6 less than the previous drive but 8 more than the one before that.

Several issues were raised on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wikify/Drives/2012/June|the drive's talk page]], concerning the quality of wikification. For those in doubt, just follow [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify/Drives/Instructions|the set of instructions]] (also available in the {{tlx|wikify}} template by clicking on "show").

The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify/Drives/Awards/3G|awards]] were distributed by Wilhelmina Will soon after the drive ended.
