Event Time: July 28, 2013 GMT. See international times below. Please note, it's Summer Time, so the time for the UK differs by one hour from GMT.


Wait, What's a Review Day?

A Review Day is a period of 24 hours where everyone on YWS tries to write as many reviews as they can. During this time, no new works can be submitted.

Each Review Day, we have an overall goal that we try to reach. This month we're going for 550 reviews! That's an awful lot and it's very ambitious, but can we do it? Of course we can! But we need YOU to help us.

Even if you only have time to write one review, please do join us! If everyone did just one review, we'd easily meet the goal.


Review Teams

To make things a little more interesting, members can join one of two Review Teams. Just look out for the "Join a Review Team" link at the top of the sidebar on the home page.


When does it happen?

Due to things like orbital rotation, July 28 doesn't happen at the same time for everyone. So we instead base it off of GMT time.

Review Day thus begins this Sunday at 12:00 am GMT July 28 and goes until the following midnight. To make things confusing, daylight savings time is in effect for most of us! So for those in the UK, the celebration starts at 1 am.

To help with getting times right, a countdown clock is up on the front page.

Sorry to bother, but I was wondering if there was going to be a free work day.
Sometimes it's nice to just laugh at yourself!
I should know, I do it all the time!

No, not this month. It was a rarity for it to happen two Review Days in a row and it will not be done this month @WillowCutz

Think of it this way, @WillowCutz: if you have a successful review day, you can post plenty the day after. :)
