About Me

Me

  • I'm Realist2 and I joined Wikipedia on May 27, 2007.
  • I hold a Law degree, a post graduate teaching qualification known as a PGCE and a Masters degree in the Sociology of Education.
  • I am a lecturer of Law and Sociology (I prefer Sociology)
  • I currently live in the United Kingdom and can speak Spanish and English fluently (or so I like to think).
  • Most of my editing relates to Music rather than my academic interests.
  • I was the main contributor to Michael Jackson related articles prior to his 2009 death.

GA Reviewer
I support adding the GA symbol to the cover of Good articles, do you?
  • I am a GA reviewer here at Wikipedia.
  • If you want an article nominated for review, let me know.

To truly become a next generation reviewer one should:

  • Never be afraid to take on difficult or controversial articles.
  • Feel free to review any articles regardless of your background knowledge: a fresh set of eyes usually helps an article.
  • Improve the article yourself if possible; you want to help people not depress them with bad news.
  • When you have reviewed an article, be it a fail, a pass or on hold, inform the nominator personally.
  • Advise the nominator to put the article on their watchlist.
  • If you change the status of the review, again inform the nominator.
  • If you pass the article, why not suggest brief improvements to get it to FA. Encouragement really helps.
    • Well those are my thoughts, if you think there are more ways to improve the review process give me a bell.
