Wikipedia:Good article mentorship/Archive 1

Samoht27
I'm looking to help with the backlog of Good Article Nominations. I think that seeking a mentorship would be a good way to learn the ropes of GAN reviewing.
 * One of the mentors might be better able to help you if you said what subject area you're most interested in. Reviewing an article about an album is a little different than reviewing an athlete's biography, for example. Also don't forget to sign your posts! :) The big ugly alien  ( talk ) 18:00, 30 April 2024 (UTC)


 * My apologies for not signing my post! I am most interested in elections and politics. The articles i've written have, for the most part, been directed towards this topic. Samoht27 (talk) 18:06, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

I really want to make articles that can contribute to Wikipedia. I’m not too experienced, however I would definitely like to start making GAs of biographies or politics. 48JCL ( talk  •  contribs ) 02:39, 14 May 2024 (UTC)


 * , did you read the mentorship page before submitting this request? The big ugly alien  ( talk ) 23:38, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * shit, I meant reviewing. I want to start reviewing stuff and I am currently trying to review this article so yeah. 48JCL  ( talk  •  contribs ) 23:56, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * had a brain fart while writing. 48JCL  ( talk  •  contribs ) 23:56, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, no worries lol. I've got a lot on my plate right now, but presumably one of the other reviewers should come along shortly. The big ugly alien  ( talk ) 00:10, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ left a note on your talk. &#126;~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:00, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I passed the article. 48JCL TALK  22:49, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

I am interested in the GAN/FAC process, and I feel that reviewing will help make me more confident in my future work as a GA editor. Italian music is my major area of interest, with science (chemistry) and video games coming close after.   22:47, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I'm Sam. I am currently reviewing the article Where the Angels Fall here: Talk:Where the Angels Fall/GA1. I was wondering- am I doing this right? Any pointers/tips/criticism on my review so far? Anything helps! Thanks. The Sharpest Lives (the deadliest to lead) 20:40, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm planning to make a review for Super Shy, which is currently a GA nominee. I've read through all the stuff I need to and I have all my points lined up, but I'm just not sure how I... do it. Like, organize my bulletpoints and stuff. It'll be my first time reviewing an article, and I'm worried if I just go into it I'll trip on my feet, so I'm requesting a mentor. Wuju Daisuki (talk) 01:09, 11 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Finished the review (the nominator hasn't replied yet). Tell me if I did anything wrong. Wuju Daisuki (talk) 23:17, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, as for formatting it looks great at just a glance! It's late at night here but in the morning I can look again, just to see if there are any procedural/criteria missteps. If you end up being unsure of the review or whether the issues have been addressed you can also tag the article for a second opinion as well! ~ Adam ( talk · contribs ) 03:03, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I've been reviewing Minecraft – Volume Alpha (see here), and I'd love some feedback to see if I'm on the right track. Thank you!  Supreme Lord Bagel  (talk to me) 10:58, 17 June 2024 (UTC)


 * , I'm sorry no one got back to you while you were working on the review. I've looked it over, and I don't see any issues. It looks like you did everything you needed to. The big ugly alien  ( talk ) 17:39, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

. I'm looking to help with the backlog of Good Article and Featured Article Nominations. I think that seeking a mentorship would be a good way to learn the ropes of GAN reviewing. Music related, and Television related. Let start with reviewing Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Angel in Disguise (Brandy song)

 * , I'm glad you're ready to help with the backlog! You might have some trouble reviewing those articles though, because they're not actually in the backlog. No one is nominating them as good articles. The articles waiting for reviewers are listed at Good article nominations. If you'd like help finding nominations suitably for a first-time reviewer, I can look through and message you on your talk page. The big ugly alien  ( talk ) 17:37, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Just put Angel in Disguise (Brandy song) on nomination and another article on currently review, Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle. Sunrise In Brooklyn ✉  18:29, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, may I ask what you understood this process to be?. This page is for users who want help reviewing GA nominations to ask, but you have only posted your own nominations, which you are not allowed to review (and one of which is currently, already being reviewed). I first thought you understood this because of your first post, but now I realize that you copied that from someone else's request. In the future, please don't copy and paste other people's posts as your own. ~ Adam ( talk · contribs ) 14:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Copy?! There's no evidence of that. Sunrise In Brooklyn ✉ 16:16, 26 June 2024 (UTC)


 * You're implying that you did not copy this post? Forgive me if I'm off-base asking this but is English your first language? ~ Adam ( talk ·  contribs ) 16:36, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I am an autoconfirmed user with around 500 edits and 200 mainspace edits. I have never reviewed an article, and I would like to learn how to. Could someone please be my mentor? Apollo getticax | talk  07:10, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, it's great to see you're looking forward to reviewing! I notice that most of your edits are antivandalism. If you wanted to, you might consider getting some practice adding content to articles so you know what you should be looking for. But if you have a lot of writing/editing/research experience outside of Wikipedia that can help, then we could look through the articles needing review and find some in your area of interest.

Hello! My first time here! I'm requesting a reviewer to help me know how to know to review GANs. I'm asking a mentorship because of my first stint of reviews. (Which did not go very well). All help will be appreciated! TheNuggeteer (talk) 06:47, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
