How to contribute[edit]
Before joining this drive and start to review articles, please make sure you have read this page and have no questions. To join this drive, please add your name under to the "Participants" section below after you have reviewed at least one article. All reviews must be completed after 00:00 (UTC) on December 1st, 2013 and before 0:00 (UTC) on Feburary 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:
Scoring[edit]
- The scoring system is as follows:
- 1 point is earned per review.
- 1 point is earned per re-review on other user's drive pages.
- A bonus point is earned when you decline a submission as a copyright violation (WP:COPYVIO), and the page is then deleted by an admin.
- 2 points are lost when two users fail a user's review. As the review has already earnt one point, this counts as a loss of one point.
- For adjustments that have occurred, see the Adjustment page.

Running Total[edit]
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 the template below.
Then, add the links in the following format -
{{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.

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>}}
Note that the entire third parameter (<OptionalCommentary>) is optional. 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.
Examples[edit]
=== [[User:Username|Username]] ===
{{Div col|cols=3}}
# [URL HERE article name] {{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|P|Article was correctly marked as copyright violation}}
#: [URL HERE article name] {{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|F|No indication of notability}} {{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|F|Copyvio}}
# [URL HERE article name] - {{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|P}}{{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|F}}{{AFCDriveQC|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|F}}
{{Div col end}}
Any user who reviews at least 25 reviews from any other user participating in the drive will receive the Teamwork Barnstar. Please note that if there is a lack of reviewers, distribution of awards at the end of the drive will be delayed until most of the reviews are reviewed.
