I've been experimenting today with the review features. The close vote review queue is in bad shape, as it contains over 100 items. This makes it not terribly useful because most of the questions that appear are old. It would be much more useful if there were fewer questions on it. In particu...
> [Update]: As of January 2019, the close vote review queue is normally about 300 now. Is it possible that folks who have access to the review queues get their 1k reviews in for the Steward badge, and then stop reviewing? Perhaps we could add more badges at higher levels of reviews?

@AdrianKeister You have touched a few different topics there.
Of course, it is possible to close votes also outside of the review - if you use all your daily reviews. You can find the posts which are being reviewed in the review history (if you have sufficient reputation): math.stackexchange.com/review/close/history And another place where to look for posts which might need closing is in the moderation tools: math.stackexchange.com/tools

Well, I don't think it is the case. And if you look at the statistics, you can see that the top reviewers did not stop at 1000 reviews: math.stackexchange.com/review/close/stats
@AdrianKeister I wrote some things related to your recent edit (and some of your comments) in Math Meta chat. (Since you have talked about several different points, it might be quite difficult to respond to all of them in comments.) — Martin Sleziak14 secs ago
