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 • talkedits) 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 • talkedits) 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)

@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)
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)
