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.

Current requests
editI would like to review more articles, but don't yet feel confident in being the first reviewer. I mostly edit women's biographies or about heritage, so am most familiar with those topics.

- I'm willing to mentor you. I think the best way to learn is by doing and that you are more than ready to review an article for GA. I would recommend finding an article, completing a first review (I like to use {{subst:GAList2}}), and then pinging me to give a second opinion. My past reviews are at User:Voorts/GAN review log if you'd like to see how I review articles. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:43, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
I started editing Wikipedia 1 year ago, and have submitted an article for GA review. I would like to start doing GA reviews to help contribute to the community, but need some guidance. I am interested in reviewing articles on almost any subject, except for overly-technical ones like science and medicine.

Mentorship Request for the Reviewing Process
editHello! I'd like to request a reviewer.
For a bit about my history with reviewing –
- I started one review sometime around 2022 (for the page Richard Gerald Jordan), but after getting maybe 60% of the way through the review, I became overwhelmed with the whole process and needed to reach out for help/second opinions. I cannot remember which part of the process in particular felt the most overwhelming to me; I vaguely remember being confused and overwhelmed with images. I don't remember having any issues with confirming the veracity of sources. In the case of the Richard Gerald Jordan article, ultimately, another more experienced reviewer completed the process.
- I have nominated one article I extensively worked on for GA (Murder of Peter Weinberger), and it was approved in June 2022. (I would like to nominate maybe 2-3 other articles soon, but it felt fairer to try to help with completing some reviews first.)
- I chose to request a reviewer through this mentorship process because I was hoping this process may make the process seem less overwhelming, and easier to grasp and learn from, compared to the first time I tried it and just dove in alone.
Topics/subjects I am open to reviewing (in no particular order):
- Music > Albums
- Music > Songs
- Social Sciences and Society > Law
- Video Games
Thanks so much for any help possible! :)
