I am curious

Looking at your contributions, I noticed you made your first edit today (editing your user page), and then you immediately made Exponentiation a good article. Your name isn't here, and I must say I don't quite believe in a newcomer's judgement. Are you a sockpuppet of someone? It's kinda odd of a newbie to be that familiar with the process.Arfan 12:24, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
What wasn't good about it? Somewhere on the page named 'community portal', is an ad requesting people to clear a backlog and do article reviews. All I can do is follow instructions and address things to the defined criteria. I pray more reviewers can roll up their sleeves and get stuck in too. Call them, pass or fail, and quickly.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Gifir2007 (talk • contribs)

What isn't good is that you are a new editor with one-day-experience on Wikipedia. I'm afraid people expect much more from GA reviewers. You should be around for some time to know the ropes before actually doing the task. The backlog isn't a good reason for anyone without article writing experience to be make a GA candidate pass or fail. Do not do it again until you're more practised. Arfan 12:42, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
