Hello, I have a question, what is the purpose of earning upgrades? Upgrades are supposed to have priority when evaluated by the community. I have an improved proposal that is 2 days different from the other one that is already being voted on, or how does it work to make better use of them?
Hello,
Upgrades open your nominations up to a larger review area, which may help get them resolved faster. It can still take 1-7 days at times for upgraded nominations to go into voting, and it may also depend on the number of reviewers in the upgraded area. It may also depend on the number of nominations in the upgrade queue currently.
I personally may wait until a nomination goes into voting before applying an upgrade, as I know at least 1 person has voted on it. I also don’t apply upgrades to all my nominations, as sometimes I do want my local review area to decide upon something that may not be seen as eligible in other areas, yet Wayfarer criteria says it is and my area knows it is.
