Peter Canavan GA review
Basically, a quick thanks. This is obviously going to be a considerably thorough review. Is this expected of GACs?? Because if it is, I may have let a few articles off relatively lightly. (2007 Australian Grand Prix for example). Should we adequately address all the issues you will bring up, would the article be closer to A-Class, do you think, or will that be a whole new review process?

There is a real issue with the adequacy of Peer Reviews, because I had the article up for over a month, and the only feedback I received was automated, which was of very limited use, which is why I put this forward to GAC in February.

But again, thanks, I'm sure this will prove invaluable.--Macca7174 19:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yea, I wouldn't have passed that article in its current condition. Regardless, I think I give some of the most thorough reviews of all the reviewers. I don't know for sure... Just from what I've seen. As far as how close your article will be to A-class if you address all of my listed concerns, I honestly don't know. That's something for me to look into. I have been told, though, from an editor who has brought several articles up to both GA and FA standards that my reviews are extremely helpful. My best recommendation is to have it peer reviewed after the GA pass if you want to take it further up. Hopefully you'll have better luck with a peer review of a GA-class article.-- Lara Love  T / C  05:07, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Terry Wogan Review
I want to apologize for incorrectly passing the article. I'm still relatively new and well, mistakes happen. Thanks for the review so far and I've implemented most of your suggestions so far myself. This article shouldn't be far from A-class if all or most of the suggestions in the review are added. --Psychless  Type words  or read things!  18:56, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your apology. There are many editors getting into doing reviews without fully understanding the process, guidelines, policies, etc. Everyone has to learn somewhere, and we've all been there. I'm trying to get new reviewers to spend more time on the articles, and I appreciate all your work in helping bring this article up to standard.

 * I'd also like to thank you for all the hard work you're doing to help get this article up to scratch. In an effort to help clear the backlog, I've also started reviewing some GA articles - currently only Clifton Suspension Bridge so far...  But thanks for the help here - it was a pretty messy article when I first got to it, and clearly still needed a lot of improvement. --Fritzpoll 19:23, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. This is my greatest joy on Wikipedia... reviewing articles and promoting to GA. My biggest obstacle is the differences in American and British English. About half the articles I review are regarding overseas (typically European) topics. So it's always a challenge to determine if something is a typo, misspelled, etc, or if it's just a difference in language/culture, but I enjoy learning the differences. And thank you for your work on the backlog. If we can get about a dozen more reviewers, we'll get caught up. Let me know if you have any questions with your reviews. It's best to ask than to blindly promote.

Just dropping by to say that I haven't forgotten this article. Fortunately, Psychless is doing all of the grunt work in corrections. I, unfortunately, have finals at the moment, and can't spend a lot of time here - am mostly doing slow GA reviews at the moment. When I finish (5th June), I will get to work on the references, and expanding the lead. Then, hopefully, I'll renominate sometime in the middle of the month, and fingers-crossed, it will pass with minor corrections. Thank you fro your help, both of you --Fritzpoll 08:06, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
