The review queues are pretty long at the moment. It would be good if anyone with enough rep and a few minutes to spare could do a few reviews.

Evil

I see only 0's. It may be blantly stupid, but how to check it? Unless it is shown when I am logged out, which is weird in turn...

Q: Review Stalker user script

This is a very basic user script which does the following: Checks the Review homepage if there's anything you can review If so, it changes the title to (n) old_title where n is the number of review tasks you can perform If not, it refreshes the page in 15 seconds Install the script This i...

And indeed there are counters when I am not logged in, that is a bit surprising - it is a bit internal matter...

David Richerby

@Evil You see 0s because you've already reviewed or skipped everything that's in the queues. So, thanks!

Review Stalker, what a name ;) I thought that stalking is illegal.

David Richerby

@Evil That may be why three police cars just came screaming past my house.

Evil

@DavidRicherby did they got Omega emblem?

David Richerby

The queues are down from 63 outstanding to 61 already. :-)

@Evil You're wondering if they're the TCS police? I didn't see; just heard them and saw the lights through my curtains.

Evil

Yup, only this kind of police scares me off ;)

David Richerby

It's OK. They were heading north-west -- away from you.

I am not superstitious, but I grabbed ATL book just in case.

Somebody called? *spreads out stern looks*

@DavidRicherby TCS police? As in Theoretical Computer Science?

As a mod (hence with a binding vote) I try to avoid the close/reopen queue to let the community decide, I prefer to close/reopen only clear-cut cases as I browse them.

@Gilles As in Theoretical Computer Science, yes. cs.stackexchange.com/questions/50993/…

And,yeah, I know you mods prefer to stay away from the queues. It makes sense.

Gilles

From time to time I go through questions with 4 close votes or sometimes 3 close votes and I close them if they have no useful answer, or go to the review queue and leave open if they have a useful answer

I always feel a bit conflicted when I do that because a non-negligible number of questions have a useful answer but have had no “leave open” vote in the review queue

So sometimes I end up going against the community and click “leave open”.

This happens on homework dumps where someone has posted a good answer. I figure it's better for the site to keep the question and its answer.

In such cases, by the time we get to it, the asker is long gone anyway and the homework is long overdue

@Gilles Dito.

@DavidRicherby I check the other queues from time to time. But the close queue certainly needs more attention (of non-mods).

David Richerby

They seem to be decreasing quite rapidly, now. I guess the number is the total number of actions needed? So if a mod makes a binding close vote, that counts multiply?

Gilles

@DavidRicherby I just went through all the questions with 3 or 4 close votes

The number is the number of items that you can review. Each item counts only once.

Raphael

@Gilles Roughly...

Gilles

@Raphael the number shown on a given queue, I mean. The number at the top is the total number of items that someone could review as of the last time the cache was refreshed.

David Richerby

Hmm. It's all a bit weird. The number by the word "review" at the top of the screen was 63 earlier; now it's down to 27, but the only reviews that seem to have been made are 14 closes by Gilles. And 63 - 14 >> 27. :-)

*nod*

Congrats on the silver close review badge, Gilles. :-)

Gilles

9:29 PM

@DavidRicherby I did a bunch of “leave open” (from the review queue), and a bunch of close votes from the post itself (which aren't review queue actions)

David Richerby

Ah, OK. Makes sense, now.

Evil

Not that it changes anything, but I thought that actions from posts count for review queue, aren't they?

Gilles

@Evil no, they don't

except reviewing suggested edits

Evil

9:46 PM

So the "closure votes cast" counts exclusively post actions and the stats from review queue counts only actions there?

Evil

10:08 PM

Awkward again, this post crashes MathJax at mobile (no app) in 1's complement. But when I click edit it renders perfectly at preview, and there are no errors in the tags.

63 - 14 >> 27 evaluates to 0...
