This is the very first good article review circle to take place, please reply to this message should you have questions or comments. Please also provide any feedback you have on this new process. — GMH Melbourne (talk) 08:48, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- @PSA and Dylan620: I am not sure how this process will work with the two of you nominiating, perhaps one of you can review the article and another can respond to the comments left for Ghost in the Machine. - GMH Melbourne (talk) 08:53, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- @GMH Melbourne: That sounds like a fair way to divvy it up, if PSA is game. Personally, I have equal preference between reviewing Windswept Adan and responding to comments on "Ghost in the Machine". An alternate suggestion is that PSA and I could collaborate on the review itself. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 18:56, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- @GMH Melbourne, thank you for setting this process up. I look forward to seeing how this goes and hope this will stimulate more GAN reviewers and more quality reviews. I will be on an island trip for four days with spotty wifi, so @Dylan620 the most I can do is address comments for GitM; I trust you with the review process. Let me know if guidance is needed with any reviews. PSA 🏕️🪐 (please make some noise...) 00:37, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- That works for me PSA – hope you enjoy your trip! Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 01:04, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

- Hi! Another user seems to be reviewing GitM right now... Is there any way I can still participate in the review (e.g. some fly-by comments), or am I not able to do anything? SupremeLordBagel (talk to me) 20:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Good question, perhaps some fly-by comments on Ghost in the Machine and other articles in the circle could be helpful. GMH Melbourne (talk) 01:03, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

If another user starts a review you were assigned before you were able to, kindly ping the coordinator (PCN02WPS) below and you will be assigned another article to review. Happy reviewing, PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 13:45, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Dxneo, History6042, Thebiguglyalien, and Chchcheckit: A user has declined their review for this circle - I can't help but notice that it would almost seem simpler to technically skip the GARC process for this circle and just have an informal agreement of two pairs: Papiermark with Melania Trump and Underdark with Tyla. Would this setup work for everyone?
- Dxneo reviews Underdark, Chchcheckit reviews Tyla, History6042 reviews Melania Trump, and Thebiguglyalien reviews Papermark. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 20:45, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- That's what I expected it to be. I was more surprised it didn't turn out this way Chchcheckit (talk) 21:02, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ideally I would have done it like that but one of the points of GARC is that you’re not reviewing the article of someone who’s reviewing your article. In this case, with people’s review preferences, it just makes more sense to try it this way. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:06, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Thank you PCN02WPS. dxneo (talk) 23:14, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

- PCN02WPS, should we consider putting all of these back in the queue and letting it sit for a little bit so a new circle can be made? Thebiguglyalien (talk) 00:52, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Will do. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 19:23, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- That's what I expected it to be. I was more surprised it didn't turn out this way Chchcheckit (talk) 21:02, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- History6042, I would suggest that you consider participating in WP:GANMENTOR before moving on to WP:GARC. It looks like you've only done four reviews, one of them was invalidated for not fully reviewing the article, and the other three look about the same as that one. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:46, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I will decline this one and not submit anymore articles until I am better at WP:GA. History6042 (talk) 11:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Reminder about source availability
Pinging everyone on the nominations list: @Stevie fae Scotland, Joeyquism, Thebiguglyalien, Arconning, PCN02WPS, History6042, Chiswick Chap, and Chchcheckit: just a reminder to be mindful of the availability of sources in your articles. If your article is reliant, even partially, on offline sources that the average person does not have access to, chances are low that the user selected to review your article will have access to those sources. Two reviews have already been declined for this reason and I fear it could be a major roadblock to the project. Just from a very cursory glance, it appears that The Motherland Calls, Melania Trump, Papiermark, and Until the End may run into issues of this kind. Of course, I may be wrong, but if you feel this may apply to your nomination please consider switching it with one which uses sources available to the average user! Thanks all. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- For anyone wanting to review my articles: I am more than willing to type it out where applicable. I have all the print sources with me. Chchcheckit (talk) 17:04, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- also headds up: i just changed my article nomination because someone began reviewing it. Chchcheckit (talk) 15:11, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- The Melania Trump book sources are available to anyone with a print-disabled archive.org account, which is free and is usually approved within a few days. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:05, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe it would be helpful if there were a practice of indicating where to find the sources if necessary when putting up a nomination here. Or when nominating the article in general. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 18:24, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Anyone with access to archive.org, Google Books, and Wikipedia Library should be able to view the sources on The Motherland Calls. joeyquism (talk) 17:57, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

New circles
@GMH Melbourne Any chance I could serve as a temporary coordinator and start up another review circle? There seems to be enough articles waiting and I am really a fan of this project as a whole and so would like to see it continue. Happy also to wait if you have plans to restart this soon. Thanks for your work! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 03:29, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- @PCN02WPS: Hello, sorry for only reading this now, I have a lot going on at the moment and probably will not be editing all to frequently for the next few months. Thank you for assuming the role of coordinator for the time being. I look forward to helping coordinate again once I start editing more frequently. GMH Melbourne (talk) 11:45, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

- Seems like @Rollinginhisgrave: declined his review, may have to give my review to Rollinginhisgrave if that's okay, since I see you didn't significantly contribute to the article, and I will review Tumor necrosis factor.
🍗TheNuggeteer🍗00:13, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Okay. I don't feel competent enough to evaluate whether WP:MEDRS is followed in Tumor necrosis factor, and you don't have to review it if you also don't feel confident. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 00:21, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's okay, I'll review the article, just needs your approval.
🍗TheNuggeteer🍗00:30, 5 September 2024 (UTC) - Yeah, for a technical medical article like this, I really suggest it be taken by someone who's reviewed dozens of articles but also preferably has some experience working with medical sources. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:30, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- This is my first medical article review, so I don't know.

- Simongraham reviewed Tropical Storm Talas, will add another nom by Rollinginhisgrave for F4U to review. (If that's okay)
🍗TheNuggeteer🍗08:10, 7 September 2024 (UTC)- Can you clarify what you mean here? Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 09:30, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know if this passes the "coordinator rules" (if there is one) but what I mean is that F4U didn't start the review page left and was swiped by simongraham, and I would probably add another of your nominations. But if you don't want to, I might close the circle until I find another option. WP:GAN/I#N4a might apply if simongraham accepts. Thanks,
🍗TheNuggeteer🍗09:35, 7 September 2024 (UTC)- Oh right yes, you can add Ibsen Nelsen if you'd like, which isn't too long. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 09:44, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- I am very happy to be an appendage to the circle and for you to review one of my nominations if that helps. simongraham (talk) 20:28, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Wanting to go deeper into GARC
Hello guys, I've been watching this circle business ever since its inception. I would like to contribute an article soon (for reference: Uwe Holmer, please don't review without asking me first) but have a few questions (and need to finish up another good article nomination review) before I actually get started. Real life is keeping me from going too fast, but please keep me accountable if I ever become too enthusiastic.
Firstly, there are extremely specific articles I would like to review like Melania Trump but are too big for me to complete on my own with a detached mindset. I tried doing Edith Roosevelt and it knocked me out for a summer. Is it possible for two semi-experienced reviewers to conquer a bigger article together, especially if one can be detached from the politics and the other can do personal life?
Secondly, is it possible for a nominator to ask for a specific reviewer or type of reviewer, provided there is no close connection between the two? I've done enough stalking to know who would give me high-quality reviews for articles I have created and give me honest feedback. This might seem like a lot, but I would be willing to continue the conversation for now. I'll leave you for now with peace, love, good vibes, and good articles! ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 04:47, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- @HistoryTheorist: Hello and thank you for your interest in GARC. The arrangements you have described above are probably a bit too complicated for the GA review circle process (especially as it is a new concept), but if you were interested, it would probably be best to ask at the GA nominations talk page and users there may be able to assist. GMH Melbourne (talk) 22:51, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Alright. I will inquire there after having a real-life break. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 04:42, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
