What is the conjecture

https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/greenbj/papers/open-problems.pdf#problem.14

(Solved) Define the 2-colour van der Waerden numbers $W(k, r)$ to be the least quantities such that if $\{1, ..., W(k, r)\}$ is coloured red and blue then there is either a red $k$-term progression or a blue $r$-term progression. Is $W(k, r)$ a polynomial in $r$, for fixed $k$? Is $W(3, r) ≪ r^2$?
