Wikipedia:Good article mentorship

Good article mentors provide assistance and feedback to editors who are new to reviewing. If you are interested in reviewing but are not sure where to start, requesting a mentor can make the process easier. To request a mentor, press the button below and follow the instructions.

Mentors can:

Help find an article suitable for a new reviewer to review
Explain any of the good article criteria and how to assess them
Check a review to make sure it was done correctly
Answer any other questions about how to review a good article nomination

Mentors are not expected to complete any part of the review. Mentorship is optional, and you do not have to request a mentor to begin reviewing.

Mentors

This is a list of users who have volunteered to be good article mentors. If you wish to choose a specific mentor, you can leave a message on one of their talk pages. Remember that not all of them might be active or be able to help at any given time.

If you're an experienced reviewer, you can add your name! You do not need to be on this list to answer a request for mentorship. Mentors are encouraged to add the mentorship page to their watchlist.

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.

Samoht27 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! :) Thebiguglyalien (talk) 18:00, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

48JCL, did you read the mentorship page before submitting this request? Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:38, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

had a brain fart while writing. 48JCL (talk • contribs) 23:56, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 00:10, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
