• 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.

• I think the superbowl thing suffers with slight undue weight. Most people outside the US shake their head in confusion at all the fuss, it panders to US viewpoint as a major incident, instead of an international, no big deal, viewpoint. Almost as much time is dedicated to it as the child sexual abuse accusation of 1993 against MJ over at Michael Jackson. Those allegations were significantly a much bigger deal than some tit falling out of a bra. Just saying it how it is. It needs a trim. – [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Janet_Jackson&diff=232568313&oldid=232532873 Me talking about Janet Jackson's Super bowl incident seen here].
• I installed it, damn it's a sexy tool, everything I could need. Cheers. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Iridescent&diff=233366288&oldid=233352364 Me talking about Twinkle].

• Genre Warriors – We all hate dislike them with a strong passion.
• Articles without an international perspective.
• Controversy sections
• Undue weight and recentism
• People who don't use edit summaries
• Digital Spy – Someone please blacklist this.
• The categories system a Wikipedia, categories should be banned, highly annoying.
