:That sounds like an interesting approach, and probably an area where we could help. Having said that, I wouldn't necessarily expect a lot of rapid progress; in most cases, these requests haven't been filled because there are no easily available sources, and we'll have to deal with the same problem.

::So I met with Philippe a bit about this earlier. I think we're on the right track with backlogs, but maybe this isn't the best particular backlog to do. Looking through [[:Category:Wikipedia backlog]], we identified a few that could be easy to knock out for new editors that haven't got a lot of experience (the idea is that in addition to working on some ourselves, we would also assist new editors to do the same). Examples: [[:Category:Images_lacking_a_description]], [[:Category:Articles_with_dead_external_links]], [[:Category:Articles_that_need_to_be_wikified]], etc. On the office side, we're able to throw some prizes at this for successfully hitting some sort of milestone.

:::Some of those are fairly esoteric—I certainly wouldn't throw anything involving image descriptions at new editors, for example, as they're likely to get caught up in NFCC issues—but if we're talking about backlogs in general, how about unreferenced BLPs? That's something of a hot-button issue, and doesn't necessarily require any real skills beyond being able to find sources for small articles.
