The July 2021 GAN Backlog Drive is a one-month-long effort to reduce the backlog of Good Article nominations. Please ensure that you familiarise yourself with the Good Article review process before starting to review an article, and that you are familiar with the GA criteria and the Manual of Style. Also, it is recommended that you read the essays What the Good article criteria are not and Reviewing good articles. The co-ordinators for this drive are Buidhe, Usernameunique, and Lee Vilenski. If you have any questions, leave a message on this drive's talk page. The drive began on 1 July 2021 at 00:00:00 (UTC) and ended on 31 July 2021 at 23:59:59 (UTC).
The ultimate goal of this backlog elimination drive is to cut the number of outstanding GANs and in particular those which have been in the queue 90 days or more. Awards will be given out to those individuals who do the most work in helping reduce the size of the backlog and reach milestones related to the number, age, and size, of articles reviewed. The drive is intended to promote a faster rate of decreasing backlog whilst maintaining quality reviews.
