Hi Reverosie, as you promised, would you be able to review Independence Day (Nigeria)? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:22, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I'll open the review later today when I'm available! ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 14:05, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

Okay Reverosie, thank you. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:22, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

Just sending a reminder, Reverosie :) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 07:00, 9 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I'm sorry it's taken me so long. I've been busy off of Wikipedia. Expect me to open this today or tomorrow depending on when I'm available, and expect the review to start on Sunday! ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 20:06, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi Reverosie, I was planning on at least having a DYK for the Independence article on October 1. But whatever works best for you, no rush. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 06:28, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you Reverosie for the review. I have advanced to an FAC now. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:39, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for listening! I never heard a live concert with him, but the choir with both successors (the last one pictured on my talk). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:51, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

John Rutter 80 today! I sang his major choral works with four choirs, and many of his uplifting anthems, 13 DYK? I watched him explain his Magnificat in person in 1998, and now see it on Youtube: he wore the same outfit. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:33, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

AfC reviewing

I'm delighted to see a new medievalist around the place, especially one who's already launched full-tilt into our content review processes. You know, I had no idea there was a WP:CANTWP? Actually, I think you might have been the first person to notice that task force exists in the last decade. If you ever decide to take any more of those to GA, I'd be more than happy to review, just let me know. (Also rather happy to not have to do the work myself... they've been on my task list for ages.)

I see you've been doing a lot of reviewing work of the WP:RATER variety. (This too we have in common. I did a lot of that early on.) Can I interest you in a somewhat more advanced reviewer role? WP:AFC always has a monstrous backlog and we'd love to have you. There's a lot of slogging to be done there, it's true. But you also get to be the one handing out the kind of acceptances that made you so happy when you started editing, and that's very rewarding. -- asilvering (talk) 21:49, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

I'd absolutely love to!! I've actually wanted to do AFC since I got more active on Wikipedia, and now that my account is well over 90 days old, I've applied. ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 23:15, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Glad to see it. If you have any questions, the AFC talk page is open and welcoming. There's also a Discord server for WP:NPP (we've got a channel there) if you're interested: . -- asilvering (talk) 23:21, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Congrats Rosie!! I never thought you would become an AFC reviewer, let alone be referred to one, seeing as you're one of the best GAN reviewers! Just for the record, I am also an AFC reviewer. I occasionally review and accept drafts (see my AFC reviews here). I also have page mover and template editor rights, which only 436 and 196 users have respectively. JuniperChill (talk) 23:53, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much!!! If I ever need help with AfC, I know who to reach out to :) ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 23:58, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Congrats!!! You got AfC rights without meeting the criteria fully!! Also, if you wanna review... Earth605 (talk) 13:20, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much!! I was just as surprised as you might be. Also, I'd be happy to review your draft!!! ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 13:33, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! That last one was a joke, but if you are going to do it, I'm not, not happy. Btw, I just changed my signature. What do you think? Earth605^talk 13:37, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

I really like it! And I know it was a joke, but I love reviewing articles (hence why I think I got AfC rights without fully meeting the criteria), so I saw it as an opportunity :) ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 13:39, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

I thought you were Reverosie, not Reviewrosie. (This took me so much time) Earth605^talk 13:57, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

That got a really good chuckle out of me. Also, your draft is now in the mainspace :) ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 13:59, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

Inaccessible sources when reviewing GA

Hi Reverosie. I am currently reviewing Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch (review) and a good portion of the sources are inaccessible to me either cause their offline or require a subscription. How do you deal with them and how do I proceed? Its good that I didn't start the prose only to then come to a halt. JuniperChill (talk) 09:58, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

First of all, don't be afraid to ask the nominator for access to sources or proof that the article is backed up by a source you can't access yourself! That is something quite important.

Second of all, what do you mean by offline? Most books should be found online (+ Internet Archive and Google Books frequently have the entire thing there for you).

With books, sometimes you need to get creative. With google books, you often have to search for page numbers and key words when you can't access the full PDF in order to find the right quote and verify a source.

But most importantly, GA reviews are not FA reviews! Make sure that all of the citations match up with the sources, but don't review every single source or you'll drive yourself mad. If there's anything else I can help you with, please let me know! ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 22:07, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Offline sources on Wikipedia are defined as a source that is not published on the internet (ie, books and newspapers). I don't really read books these days. I will get into reviewing that article tomorrow by asking the nominator if I happen to land on an offline source, seeing as its cited to an offline newspaper. Seeing as the article I'm going to review has 66 sources, is checking 10 (15%) enough? I also note that I accidentally reviewed two articles that contain the word "Queen" on them, the other being Talk:Queenstown MRT station/GA1 JuniperChill (talk) 23:17, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

While articles with a lot of sources therefore need more to be reviewed, it comes down to quite a few factors:

1. How many sources are cited in total?

2. How many citations come from the same source?

- Accounting for citations that come from the same page of the same source?

3. How many different types of sources are there? Are some easier to check than others?

- This isn't to say that a source being harder to check means you should skip over it, but that it doesn't hurt to review a few extra sources that are easier for you.

Based on all of these factors, it comes down to your own preference, but unless an article doesn't cite many sources (which is usually justified by a shorter length), 10-20% is generally a good rule of thumb to follow :)

And remember:

1. Even if an editor is trustworthy, NEVER skip a spot check. Working with somebody more often means reviewing a bit less, but not skipping over it entirely.

2. If something that looks problematic comes up in the spot check, most (if not all) of the time, you should assume good faith and point it out instead of trying to punish the nominator. ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 23:38, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Ok thank you for helping me! This is the first time that I needed to help with reviewing an article for GA because of access to sources. I started reviewing the prose of the article today. I have decided to check two offline newspaper sources, one paywalled source, and six free-to-access sources (including one PDF).

I would say you're one of the best GAN reviewer's I've ever seen in my two years of editing Wikipedia! considering you started reviewing GAs within a month of editing! Maybe I could also be in a position to help users with GA, as I currently do with DYK. JuniperChill (talk) 16:58, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the kind words! And if you ever need help with anything else, don't be afraid to reach out! ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 21:06, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

October music

story · music · places

My story today is about a mezzo as a thinking person, DYK? (The nomination wasn't by me, which probably helped to a short review.) - Look at the video if you have a few minutes. I never saw her on stage, but (in 2022) the last Carmen production at the Bastille Opéra that she was in, - see music. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:40, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Happy 50th birthday, Alain Altinoglu!) - I let the video begin with a closeup of the octobass ;) Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:06, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks so much Gerda! The videos are incredible as always :) ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 23:27, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

You are welcome! - I am proud to have brought two performing women to the main page. Sadly, death kept both from performing more, one sooner, the other much later. If you have little time just listen to the one who died young and see if it touches you (in today's story, - I don't want to sprinkle youtube links outside my user pages). Latest pics from a day to the opera in Frankfurt, and afterwards (because train service is only once an hour) a lovely stroll along the Main river with illumination and the moon reflected. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:36, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

I always love watching your videos and reading your stories. I always learn something new from them, and the music always sounds beautiful! ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 21:51, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, I love to hear that. Today I am sad that I had to bring two more people there. At least the video in my story is cute, made for children. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:00, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for improving article quality in October. My latest: Roberta Alexander, - listen. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:21, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Today Sequenza III on Luciano Berio's centenary. You can listen with the score or to the first performer, Cathy Berberian (link in the work's article), - I couldn't decide ;) - btw, I think your signature matches the flowers well. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:56, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

Season's greetings!

Where to start? Reverosie, since joining this project, you’ve done some terrific work over at GAN (casually side-questing a GA on simplewiki too, which is nothing to scoff at), are building an entire WikiProject, and won Editor of the Week (and I certainly truly mean every word we wrote in our nomination). Seeing you do it so well was what actually encouraged me to start reviewing GANs—and I really do now declare Fomalhaut, which I didn’t know existed six months ago, to be one of my favourite stars! Our paths don’t cross as often now, but as always, your incessant diligence, kindness, and enthusiasm are seen and appreciated. If you can do all this in about six months, what’s to come in a year? Happy holidays to you and yours, and I look forward to seeing you shine in 2026!

Women in Green reviewing drive

Hello Reverosie:

This month, February 2026, WikiProject Women in Green is participating in the February 2026 GAN Backlog Drive, in which we're aiming to review as many outstanding Good Article (GA) nominations about women and women's works as possible. If you want to help out, you can check out the project talk page for a list of nominations in need of review (including some WiG originals). If you haven't reviewed a GA nomination before, be sure to check out the reviewing instructions and guidelines and feel free to ask for a mentor to check your work.

We are also working together with a wikithon hosted on 5 February by Wikimedia UK, which will focus on writing and improving articles about women involved in sustainable development. If you want to join the event, feel free to sign up at the eventbrite page; or if you would be interested in providing a 20-minute assessment and/or a full GA review of the submitted articles in the weeks following, put your name down on the project talk page for updates as the event progresses.

We hope to see you there!

Gerda, I don't know what to say. When I got extremely busy and practically vanished from Wikipedia, you kept sending me messages for quite a while. The fact that I was still in your thoughts after so long means the world to me. Thank you, really, for writing to me, even if I didn't respond for a very long time. ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 18:37, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

Wikiproject Crusades

Hello, Reverosie! The format of your Crusades Wikiproject, especially the tabs and colored background squares, was in many ways the model I used to refurbish the Beatles Wikiproject. Just a note of thanks... and I wish the Crusades project every success it deserves. DannyRogers800 (talk) 13:28, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks so much! I took a look and the Wikiproject looks amazing! ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 18:26, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

Byzantium in the Crusading movement

Hello @Reverosie, could we discuss your GA review of Byzantium in the Crusading movement? It's a very large article at over 9,000 words (larger than 99% of all other articles). So I was very surprised to see how short your GA review was (barely 400 words). I've never seen a review for such a large article that didn't include at least some kind of prose and manual of style feedback. Also, did you conduct a source spot check to verify the cited facts? — Chao Garden 🌱 ~ say hello 17:03, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello!

I would be happy to chat with you about that. I believed that the article was sufficient for a quick pass, and a spot check was conducted (if you would like for me to find examples, I would be more than happy to do so). The prose was very well written in my eyes, enough so that I did not feel the need to leave any feedback. However, if you believe that this may be necessary, I would be happy to go back and make some changes. ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 17:06, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Oh I've never heard of a quick pass. Is that a common thing? I've passed an article without a back-and-forth with the nominator before, but in that case it was a much smaller article (about 1,000 words) & I documented the spot checks (see: Talk:Statue_of_Dante_Alighieri_(Meridian_Hill_Park)/GA1). I'm curious what sampling of citations you checked?

Also, by the way, to 100% transparent: the whole reason I'm even watching this article is because I've been debating about reviewing it myself. But I've stopped myself several times, thinking that someone with more knowledge of Byzantium would do a better job evaluating the historical coverage, source quality, and source-to-article integrity. So, that's the motivation behind my questions here. — Chao Garden 🌱 ~ say hello 17:16, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello, yes! If an article is deemed to be exceptionally good, it can be quick-passed! I'll have you know, though, that I've done 36 reviews in my time as a GA reviewer, and this is the only one I have ever quick-passed an article. It is possible, just very rare, so don't expect to see a lot of those. The reason I did not leave any evidence for the spot check is because I am already cordial with the nominator.

If you'd like to review articles yourself, remember to be bold! You don't need extensive knowledge of a topic to review an article well.

If you are interested in learning more about editing articles regarding Byzantium, might I recommend WP:Milhist (and their Byzantium task force)? Or, if you are interested in the crusades as well, Wikipedia:CRUSADES?

Thanks for reaching out! ‍🌷Reverosie🌷^★talk★ 17:22, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate the explanation! And I'll check out those resources. — Chao Garden 🌱 ~ say hello 18:57, 12 August 2026 (UTC)
