GCU Forum - ID Numbers

Eve_138255 Ex Member	ID Numbers Jan 31^st, 2011, 6:07pm Am I right in thinking that cards are approved in numerical order? If this is so, could someone explain why I saw a 'new' card ID # 763809 while I am still awaiting cards for approval with an ID starting at # 754021. So that makes at least 9788 cards that have been approved before mine. Eve

I tried to find the thread where Mindy spoke of this issue a few months ago and as usual, couldn't find it Grin

But, I believe there are many, many reasons why the general answer to your question is NO they are not approved in order. Groups are split off, cards are held for further review, fast track cards, as Rita mentioned an artist's first card, cards being held to check for copyright and so on.

What I got out of it was that we should not make any assumptions about the order in which cards are approved.

Problem not a big help, eh? Grin

Those are approved right away. Not all cards that have been processed before mine are first cards. There has to be some other reason why mine are being skipped over.

(That's what I have remembered,so correct me if I'm wrong..) And also if the card is submitted from a new artist.

Here are some reasons you see cards reviewed out of product id sequence:
1) we're seeing nearly 1,000 new cards a day so a disparity of 1,000 cards is literally all in a day's work
2) large collections per artist as Tom's indicated - a collection of like cards submitted by an artist is typically spread out across product id numbers BUT for efficiency's sake are reviewed at the same time so similar corrections can be addressed vs skipping back and forth to other cards (often these come by the 100's)
3) FastTrack cards jump to the head of the line
4) FastTrack Bypass Review cards bypass the review line
5) New artists get their 1st card automatically reviewed when submitted via the getting started wizard
6) some cards get temporarily skipped while reviewers confer or ask for new categories to be created

As more new artists join as well as the number of new cards created grows we are experiencing longer review times; we are looking at ways to improve the review process and make it easier for reviewers and artists alike.

One such effort is the GCU Wiki page to be used as a getting started guide and ongoing reference:

Exactly! Thank you Joan and Doreen for chiming in. Watching pid#s of cards approved is not an accurate reflection of review time nor sequence.
