Hi, please have a look at the current GOCDE Drive "leader", a pretty new editor with looots of edits in very short time, I checked some of his Reviews today and I think they need to be double-checked, grammar and spelling has been corrected but nothing else usually...CommanderWaterford (talk) 18:17, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I'm a coordinator emeritus. Twofingered Typist and I have been keeping an eye on him, and I posted on the GOCE coordinators' talk page (which you could have done, or left a note on the drive talk page). Scoring in the drives and blitzes is pretty much on the honor system and, IMO, WP is not for children (or adults who act like them). We're aware of the situation, but WP:VOLUNTEER; I prefer spending my limited editing time on article improvement. Oh, and WP:BITE. All the best, Miniapolis 19:35, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
