Reviewing

Anybody may help in reviewing the nominations. If you would like to actively participate, you may add Wikipedia:W Awards § Current nominations to your watchlist and follow the reviewing instructions below.

Bronze W Insturctions

If you review and the award is not applicable, remove the nomination and notify the user^[clarify] via their talk page that the nomination failed; don't forget to explain why and to encourage them to try again later when they feel they've done it right.
- In the case of DYK, did the editor expand 5 articles fivefold or nominate and pass a WP:GAN, and was the editor credited with each DYK entry?
- In the case of FA, did the editor significantly improve and nominate it? (Look at the FAC discussion and the article history.)

If you review and the award is applicable, remove the nomination from the list and notify the editor at their talk with the following template under a new section titled "Silver W Award": {{subst:Bronze W Award}} which produces:

		Bronze W Award
		Congratulations! You have been awarded the Bronze W Award for your contributions to each long-time section of the Main Page: a Featured Article at Today's Featured Article and 5 articles listed at Did You Know.

If you review and the award is applicable, remove the nomination from the list and notify the editor at their talk with the following template under a new section titled "Silver W Award": {{subst:Silver W Award}} which produces:

		Silver W Award
		Congratulations!

1. Did the editor make the very first encyclopedic content edit for each article? This partially satisfies the requirements for FA, ITN, DTK, and OTD.
2. If the editor did not make the very first encyclopedic content edit for one or more of the above articles:
  - In the case of FA, did the editor significantly improve and nominate it? (Look at the FAC discussion and the article history.)
  - In the case of FP, did the editor create, restore, or nominate it and does the image have enough encyclopedic value? (Check the WP:FPC discussion and WP:POTD archives on the date in question.)
  - In the case of ITN, did the editor substantially update and nominate it?
  - In the case of DYK, did the editor expand it fivefold or nominate and pass a WP:GAN, and was the editor credited with the DYK entry? (Check to see if the editor was involved in the DYK nomination by reviewing his/her user contributions. This can be done as follows: Go to the user contribution history. Click on older. The URL should now contain a YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format time for the newest contribution on that page. Change the date to a proper date to look for the DYK info. Then search for "Did You" or something like that. The author may not have been involved in the nomination, but may have been credited nonetheless so check his/her user talk page the same way if you do not find nomination involvement.
