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.

Current requests[edit]

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)

SunriseInBrooklyn, 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 Wikipedia: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. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:37, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
Hi SunriseInBrooklyn, 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)[reply]
Copy?! There's no evidence of that. Sunrise In Brooklyn 16:16, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

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! SupremeLordBagel (talk to me) 10:58, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SupremeLordBagel, 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. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:39, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
