Wikipedia:Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/August 2023

The August 2023 GAN Backlog Drive was a one-month-long effort to reduce the backlog of Good Article nominations. Editors were advised to ensure that they familiarise themselves with the Good Article review process before starting to review an article, and that they are familiar with the GA criteria and the Manual of Style. Also, it was recommended that they read the essays What the Good article criteria are not and Reviewing good articles. The co-ordinators for this drive were Vaticidalprophet, Buidhe, and Golden. If you have any questions, leave a message on this drive's talk page. The drive began on 1 August 2023 at 00:00:00 (UTC) and ended on 31 August 2023 at 23:59:59 (UTC).

The ultimate goal of this backlog elimination drive was to cut the number of outstanding GANs. Awards were given out to the individuals who did 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 was intended to promote a faster rate of decreasing backlog whilst maintaining quality reviews.
