Good article mentors provide assistance and feedback to editors who are new to reviewing. If you are interested in reviewing but are not sure where to start, requesting a mentor can make the process easier. To request a mentor, press the button below and follow the instructions.

Mentors can:
- Help find an article suitable for a new reviewer to review
- Explain any of the good article criteria and how to assess them
- Check a review to make sure it was done correctly
- Answer any other questions about how to review a good article nomination
Mentors are not expected to complete any part of the review. Mentorship is optional, and you do not have to request a mentor to begin reviewing.

This is a list of users who have volunteered to be good article mentors. If you wish to choose a specific mentor, you can leave a message on one of their talk pages. Remember that not all of them might be active or be able to help at any given time. If you're an experienced reviewer, you can add your name! You do not need to be on this list to answer a request for mentorship. Mentors are encouraged to add the mentorship page to their watchlist.

Current requests
[edit]Hello! I've recently nominated an article for review, and I wanted to become a reviewer as well! The issue is, I'm not sure if I'm too new to Wikipedia to become a reviewer myself, so if this request is rejected, I understand! I'm mainly interested in astronomy and the Middle Ages, and I'd be eager to start a review on those topics at any time to clear the backlog :)

- @Reverosie I would be more than happy to help! Feel free to pick a review and ping me there. IAWW (talk) 15:06, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! I'll pick a review shortly and let you know! Reverosie (talk) 18:47, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- I've picked an article! Should I open the review and then write the in-depth analysis? Or should I wait? Reverosie (talk) 19:03, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- Feel free to open the review and start a structured review around the GA criteria. If you would like help on how to structure the review and/or where to start, I can help you with that too. In any case, it's best to start the review with just a quick opening comment and ping me there. IAWW (talk) 19:14, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
