== Tips for reviewing GA ==
@[[User:Ovinus|Ovinus]] Hello. I've seen you have much more experience in reviewing GA Mathematics articles. I am still new, and I have no idea what to do. Any tips? Honestly, I don't mean to request a second opinion in [[Talk:Triaugmented triangular prism/GA1]], but I would like to question for tips just in case. [[User:Dedhert.Jr|Dedhert.Jr]] ([[User talk:Dedhert.Jr|talk]]) 11:35, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Dedhert.Jr}} Hey! First of all, don't sweat it; it's just an article review. You can always ask for a second opinion, and David's articles are usually excellent, so there's little risk of rubber stamping something problematic. I think the way I review depends on the article. For something like [[Triaugmented triangular prism]], where in principle some of the material should be accessible to a high schooler, my main focus is accessibility. Obviously, you can't make ''everything'' super simple. But if there's something that you understand that could be said clearer, note that.
:Writing Wikipedia math articles is very hard; most general encyclopedias shy away from any equation involving more than a dozen symbols, while many specialist encyclopedias throw accessibility to the wind (c.f. ''Encyclopedia of Mathematics''). Reviewing them is similarly tricky, especially if you're missing a lot of background—that's often me.
:You can also consider images. For example, one image that comes to mind which would enliven that article would be a picture of that decomposition of the shape into a prism and three pyramids; that can be tricky to visualize. <small>If I could remember how to use [[Blender (software)|Blender]] I'd make one myself....</small> You can drive-by comment on existing GANs—for example, [[Unit distance graph]]. And of course, next time you can always try easier articles, especially ones which are in topics you are already familiar with. That's why the sorting GANs by topic exists.

::[[User:Ovinus|@Ovinus]] Thanks for the tips. However, I am not 100% sure can understand lots of technical, since I can only and try to understand it. Isn't that my mistake while reviewing? Beside, what do you mean ''accessability'' here? And how is it related to high schooler? [[User:Dedhert.Jr|Dedhert.Jr]] ([[User talk:Dedhert.Jr|talk]]) 22:16, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
:::If you feel you can't give a complete review, you can mark it for a second opinion. [[User:Ovinus|Ovinus]] ([[User talk:Ovinus#top|talk]]) 23:48, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
::::Thank you. Am I still allowed to ask during the second opinion? [[User:Dedhert.Jr|Dedhert.Jr]] ([[User talk:Dedhert.Jr|talk]]) 23:59, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
:::::You can comment as you please, of course. (By "accessibility" I mean "readability": Can a high school senior who likes math understand what's going on? If not, can the material be explained in reasonable space, at that level? Or is it simply too recondite?) [[User:Ovinus|Ovinus]] ([[User talk:Ovinus#top|talk]]) 03:55, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
::::::As a reviewer like you, does a reviewer have to be expert in any mathematical fields before reviewing? I can only tell that I am actually not expert in it. [[User:Dedhert.Jr|Dedhert.Jr]] ([[User talk:Dedhert.Jr|talk]]) 11:42, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
:::::::No, I'm not an expert in any (sub)field. [[User:Ovinus|Ovinus]] ([[User talk:Ovinus#top|talk]]) 18:01, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
::::::::Okay, thanks a lot. I have request the second opinion in [[Talk:Triaugmented triangular prism/GA1]]. I will put secnod opinion in talk page as well. [[User:Dedhert.Jr|Dedhert.Jr]] ([[User talk:Dedhert.Jr|talk]]) 23:50, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

== Retired Editor Question ==
Hi. My name is Amber and I work for [[Yelp]]. I disclosed a conflict of interest and proposed a few changes at [[Talk:Yelp#Requested_Updates]]. I was hoping you might be willing to take a look. It appears as though in prior years Yelp collaborated with {{ping|Protonk}}, who did the GA review of a prior version of the page. However, Protonk appears to have retired a few months back.
