GA process
[edit]Hi IP, I saw your post in the ANI thread, and then discovered that there is apparently a huge argument about how to handle the tiny green stickers that I never noticed before
... yeah. Welcome to wikipedia. There are all kinds of things that have basically no effect on readers that editors care a whole lot about. The way to stay sane is to try to avoid those arguments once people get emotional about them (or entirely). But the GA process itself is a good way to get another editor, who isn't an expert on the topic but does usually have quite a bit of wikipedia experience, to read what you've written and provide helpful feedback. Since most readers aren't experts either, that tends to be pretty helpful. So, that's the pitch in favour. You can ignore all the GA-focused editors all you like.
By the way, even if you're just fixing the occasional footnote, I recommend starting an account. If for no other reason, it's nice to end up on fewer abuse filters, which is of benefit both to you and to the people who patrol for vandalism, etc. -- asilvering (talk) 21:46, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
