198 at start.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 14:15, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
193 - some of these articles are already in deletion processes as a result of the attention brought from the blanking at the beginning of the month. I am pretty sure the number in this month was closer to 225 at that point, but some also got sourced as a result.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 14:15, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
192 - and note that all As were already in AfD.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 14:47, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
170 - Slowly chipping away at the bottom end of the alphabet. Hallucegenia (talk) 11:09, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
162 - Knocked out some P's. TiMike (talk) 21:17, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
148 - Still no idea how to reference the Bosnian Volleyball players. The-Pope (talk) 16:31, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's painful, I didn't think any grouping could pop up to rival Thai footballers, but I was wrong.--Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 17:35, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

http://kakanjskiportal.com/content/blogsection/6/29/ helped me with one member of OK Kakanj.. Oh, and Google Translate (or better yet the Google Translate mojo built into Google Chrome.)--j⚛e decker ^talk 18:51, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

136 - P done apart from one PROD. Hallucegenia (talk) 10:13, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
127 - few more done, T & U completed.The-Pope (talk) 15:41, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
117 - and G is gone. --Plad2 (talk) 23:27, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
109 - More random entries sourced, TiMike (talk) 03:52, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
98 - A few here, a couple there. --j⚛e decker ^talk 18:13, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
92 - O is complete -- Whpq (talk) 18:43, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
91 - PROD on the last Y. --j⚛e decker ^talk 18:59, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
86 - V is clear -- Whpq (talk) 21:19, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

76 - 60 without the PROD/AFDs. The-Pope (talk) 04:37, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

73 - Good steady progress Hallucegenia (talk) 16:51, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job!, I need to dive back, I got distracted into learning about Egyptian cinema after working on Nicole Saba, these movies are hilarious (in a lowbrow way).--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 22:37, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

60 - E down, we're making progress! --j⚛e decker ^talk 07:16, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
40 - The last H is headed PRODward. --j⚛e decker ^talk 05:11, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
36 - The last N, Mikhail Nekrich has been redirected to Masterok. —J04n(talk page) 14:19, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
25 - but apparently only 6 to be attended to per the talk page!--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 20:55, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
20 - Knocked out all the remaining except Jeffrey M. Koopersmith. I couldn't really find anything on him, but he seems somewhat prominent so I didn't want to mark it as PROD. Aside from him, we are done.
TiMike: I think I may just not have my mojo today, but I'm not finding enough either. I do see lots of glimpses, through the veil of much promotional material, but no real sources to establish notability. If this weren't the very last unsourced BLP from 2008 I might just send it to AfD myself (I'll do that sometimes when I think a PROD is justified but my spider-senses are telling me that I might be missing something obvious).....anyone else want to take a crack at it? --j⚛e decker ^talk 04:25, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree he ought to be notable, but I've sent him to AfD where a wider audience can have their say. Hallucegenia (talk) 09:59, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well at least he's notable here as the final uBLP of 2008. :-)--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 13:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome job! We have now eliminated 11 months of the backlog, including all remaining months of 2008! When we started this past July there were still a number of months from 2007 being worked on (July 2007 was our second project). On July 1, 2010, there were 28,847 UBLPs, as of right now, we are down to 17,954! Next up for us is April 2009 (currently at 429).--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 13:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
