The Good Article nomination process relies on having as many reviews performed as there are nominations to avoid having a long backlog. To speed things along, some users make pledges to review other articles once their own nomination is under review.
Typical pledges
[edit]- When my article gets reviewed, I will review one other article.
- When my article gets reviewed, I will review one other article, giving priority to nominations with review pledges.
- When my article gets reviewed, I will review two other articles.
- When my article gets reviewed, I will review two other articles, one of them with a review pledge if possible.
- When my article gets reviewed, I will review an old nomination.
- When my article gets reviewed, I will review a nomination by a newbie.
Please add your own. Anything goes as long as it involves promising at least one review.
How to make a pledge
[edit]Use the |note= field in {{GA nominee}} on the talk page of your article after making a nomination. For example, you could use
|note=I [[WP:GARP|pledge]] that when this article gets reviewed, I will review two other articles, one of them with a review pledge if possible.
A link to this page is appreciated, but of course optional.
When you use User:SD0001/GAN-helper to add the GAN template to the talk page, a blank |note= field is automatically generated as the second to last field (before |shortdesc=). Be careful not to duplicate the |note= field, it confuses the bot.
Rules
[edit]In order to keep us all honest, please do not review a nomination by the person reviewing your article, but find something else.
Currently open pledges
[edit]The following list is maintained by User:ChristieBot. It can be found at /Open. The order is the same as on WP:GAN, so by subtopic first, then by age of the nomination.
