GAN May Backlog drive

Hi! It's been 5 months since I joined Wikipedia, and I would like to contribute the GAN Backlog drive. But the thing is that, I have never done this review thing before, so I don't know whether I am eligible for this(Am I?). I have read the 6 GA criteria and have a somewhat understanding of the MOS. So...Any guidance in this matter would be appreciated! Cheers, Warriorglance(talk to me) 07:16, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can absolutely participate in the drive! This drive is actually focused on those who are new to reviewing as well so it should be easy to find someone to help you out! I for one am more than willing to help guide you through the process. I wrote down my specific process for GAN reviews at User:IntentionallyDense/October 2024 GAN backlog drive if you want to take a look. Otherwise, for selecting your first article to review I'd recommend picking a topic you're interested in or know about. If you can't really find anything that is of interest I'd recommend doing a biography of some sort since they tend to be less technical. Also I usually try to pick a shorter article with not too many references to make things less overwhelming. Best of luck and thanks for reaching out! Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks! I will reach out to you when necessary. Warriorglance(talk to me) 06:22, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

One question, what is the GARC6 thing for images you mentioned in your essay? Also, I have chosen Edward Cridge article to review, so..feel free to give me comments relating to the review. Cheers, Warriorglance(talk to me) 06:41, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GARC6 is media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. So I make sure that the images are tagged by opening the image and looking for the copyright info. Then I make sure the photo is relevant to the article and that the caotion looks good (caption usually gives some context to the photo). It's pretty easy and I rarely find any glaring issues here. The things you want to look out for is images that don't have a copyright tag or non relevant images/captions. If you're unsure about the caption or image feel free to tag me or the nominator in the review asking for some more info. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 16:29, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just promoted that article to GA. Hope it's OK. I did not find any issues inside. If you find any issues I missed out, please mention them here. Cheers! Warriorglance(talk to me) 07:35, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your review looks great! I hope you continue down the path of reviews as it's a very rewarding thing to work on and you did a great job! IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 16:21, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Of course, I will be participating in the backlog drive till the end. Warriorglance(talk to me) 15:25, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good! Hopefully by the end you will be able to consider yourself an experienced reviewer! IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 21:03, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@IntentionallyDense I need a little assistance. It's regarding copyright violation. For the article Somali Airlines Flight 40, Earwig reports 53% violation. Can you please tell me whether it is actually copyright violation. Earwig also states "violation possible". Warriorglance(talk to me) 11:39, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming that the source was written prior to the Wikipedia article (check the revision history and see if the text predates the news article) then yes this is a copyright violation as there are several chunks of text that haven't been changed. It's up to you if you want to fail that article or give the reviewer a chance to fix it. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 03:42, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks! Warriorglance(talk to me) 14:27, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Death Race 2 GAN

Hi just checking in to see if you had time to discuss the review of Death Race 2 for the May GAN drive Ivey (talk - contribs) 19:08, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sorry I missed your initial message on the review page (time to trim my watchlist I guess) I’ll take a look over the article tonight to double check that it does in fact meet all the criteria. The tricky part about articles that meet all the criteria without changes being needed is that you as a reviewer still have to prove you reviewed the article. Usually this means saying “I checked xyz sources and found no issues” or “The article complies with MOS:LAYOUT etc…” IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 22:43, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha. Yeah I went through and did the steps in the table, do you normally post that as replies on the GA1 page? Ivey (talk - contribs) 23:37, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I do, that way people can clearly see I evaluated everything. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 03:25, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

here is the requested ping. thanks again, Ivey (talk - contribs) 14:47, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
