WikiProject Articles for Creation conducts periodic Backlog Elimination Drives. All editors involved in reviewing AfC submissions are encouraged to participate. We also invite established editors who have not previously carried out AfC reviews to participate; however, please make sure you have read through Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions thoroughly and ensure that you are familiar with Wikipedia's established content policies and guidelines. If you have any questions about the reviewing process, please ask at the project's talk page.

    Hello WikiProject Articles for creation:

    WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June!
    The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.

    You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

    Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
    There is a backlog of over 3700 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! ~~~~
