GA Mentor

I saw your name on the list of GA Mentors, with experience in Natural Sciences. As a first-time GA reviewer, may I ask you to look over my review of Squatina squatina at Talk:Squatina squatina/GA1 if you have time, please? I was impressed with the article and the few comments I made have been mostly addressed by the nominator. I am therefore about ready to pass the article. Nevertheless, I'd appreciate your experience in checking over my review, if you were able, and I'd doubly appreciate any constructive advice you could offer to me on my reviewing. Thanks. --RexxS (talk) 01:03, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps August update

Thanks to everyone's dedicated efforts to the GA Sweeps process, a total of 215 articles were swept in July! We are currently nearly 80% done with Sweeps, with under 600 articles left to review. With 50 members, that averages out to about 12 articles per person. Once the remaining articles drop to 100, I'll help in reviewing the last articles (I'm currently taking a break). If each member reviews an article every other day this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. Again, I want to thank you for using your time to ensure the quality of the older GAs. Feel free to recruit other editors who have reviewed GANs in the past and might be interested in the process. The more editors, the less the workload, and hopefully the faster this will be completed. If you have any questions about reviews or the process let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 19:24, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy tag

I have removed the speedy tag you placed on the article Rodney Scott Webb. I have done this under guidelines provided in WP:Notability (people), which states "A person is generally notable if they meet any of the following standards... People who have held international, national or first-level sub-national political office, including members of a legislature and judges." Cheers! Scapler (talk) 18:54, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great power

Thanks for your note. I have had interchanges with the two key editors on this article. I had agreed with one of them that this would be determined at the end of August when they are back from summer leave. I expect that to be about 10-14 days from now. hamiltonstone (talk) 23:43, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The main editor has been pinged. Regards. hamiltonstone (talk) 23:47, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, don't worry about it. I was hoping I would be able to get it to GA level with the extended time, but there's no way that's possible now. Thanks for reminding me. Deavenger (talk) 01:20, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
