Review Names

One of the categories for getting involved is entitled "Review Names". It is not the same as reviewing Indexing as it does not show up under any category of accounting. Therefore, I ask what is "Review Names" and why is it not counted in the personal or ward and stake numbers?

There's a nice explanation of reviewing names in this FS blog article: https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/virtual-volunteer-opportunities-get-involved

Once you've reviewed names for the 1950 US census or other projects your totals show up on your personal Get Involved page. Someone with access to the family history activity report will have to comment on whether Review Names participation shows up there or not.

It does show up in Review Names but if you go on to indexing it doesn't. I just worry that numbers people will feel like no one is seeing their work. Thank you for your reply and the blog article. Very well done (I thanked him for it.)
