Hey! This is The Sharpest Lives (talk · contribs). Earlier, you invited me to your GA review circle. I just wanted to say- great idea! I hope it works out and helps facilitate many GA reviews to come. The Sharpest Lives (the deadliest to lead) 16:47, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your encourangement! GMH Melbourne (talk) 00:53, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 10 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Brad Banducci, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that starting at age 16, future Woolworths CEO Brad Banducci was named top sewing machine salesperson three years in a row? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Brad Banducci. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Brad Banducci), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Matthew Charles Johnson you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

The article Matthew Charles Johnson you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Matthew Charles Johnson and Talk:Matthew Charles Johnson/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

Hi @GMH Melbourne! I was wondering if there's a limit for how many articles one person can list at the review circles; I have a few GANs that I'd like cleared sometime, and I feel as if there's some current stagnation with how many participants there are. I've already finished my preliminary review for Growing Up (The Linda Lindas album), and I'm just waiting for the nominator to get back to me so I can continue reviewing their fixes. Just need an indication of whether listing another one of my GANs for review would be considered greedy or not.

Also, I want to reiterate that I think this is a wonderful idea, and that it should be promoted a bit more - I think it'll help a lot in clearing out the backlog. joeyquism (talk page) 07:26, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Joeyquism, the aim of GARC is to reduce the GAN backlog and wait times so feel free to add more articles to the pool! Keep in mind though that the process is still being trialled and I have stopped advertising the page so it might take a little while for you to be paired in a circle. Thank you for your contributions to the process thus far and don't hesitate to drop me anymore questions feedback you may have! GMH Melbourne (talk) 07:36, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the clarification! I think I'll drop one more in within the next week or so after I (hopefully) complete my existing review. joeyquism (talk page) 07:41, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article Matthew Charles Johnson you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Matthew Charles Johnson for comments about the article, and Talk:Matthew Charles Johnson/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

	The Brilliant Idea Barnstar
	Thank you for starting WP:GARC! What an elegant solution to a problem that has been plaguing the Good Article process for some time. Here's to hoping it will continue to develop in the future. Fritzmann (message me) 10:13, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the barnstar! I should have my review for Hypericum huber-morathii completed by tomorrow (AEST). GMH Melbourne (talk) 10:47, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, GMH Melbourne. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Matthew Charles Johnson at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Cheers, Baffle☿gab 04:05, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GMH Melbourne, I've now finished my copy-edit. I found there is a fair bit of uncited text in the section "Criminal history". I also noted some uncited direct quotations within that section. I have marked these texts with [citation needed] tags. Because this is a Good Article and a biography of a living person, we must be mindful to properly cite texts. Per good article criteria, good articles are required to comply with BLP.

I also noticed two primary sources are used; one is the judgement in the case of Williams' murder from the Supreme Court of Victoria; the other is the investigation into Corrections Victoria relating to Williams' death. According to WP:BLPPRIMARY, court records and transcripts are not supposed to be used as refs in articles; these should be replaced with, or at least augmented with, secondary sources.
