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.

Mentorship Request for the Reviewing Process

[edit]

Hi, I'm looking for mentoring in GA reviewing. I've never attempted it before, but I recently tried for the first time to get an article to GA status (awaiting review), and one thing that bothers me is not really knowing when an article is "ready". I think experience from the reviewer's side is going to be the best way to learn about the standard expected and help me see what to aim for going forward.

I'm currently working on literature, but I could also see myself reviewing in history, religion or philosophy. I'd really appreciate someone to look over my shoulder, not least to stop me making a hash of someone's GA efforts. Samuelshraga (talk) 11:05, 13 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
