GAN of ISS
Hi Themcman1! Don't know if you remember me or not, but you were kind enough to review the STS-74 and Shuttle-Mir Program articles for me when I put them up for GAN, and you also offered to review any articles I might have thereafter. Well, myself and a group of WP:HSF editors have been working on the International Space Station article lately, and we've put it up for GAN. I was wondering if you might be able to spare some time to review the nomination for us? Many thanks in advance, Colds7ream (talk) 18:00, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Like to be a Member of Fisheries and Fishing
I'm interested in joining th4 group. I'd like to contribute material on salmon hactheries, especially the ecological and genetic impacts of them. So I'm very interested in expanding the stuff on hatchery reform, adding some new pages. This is what I do for a living- I'm a government research scientist working on hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest. I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, however, and couldn't figure out how to sign up for the group. Many thanks in advanceBusaccsb (talk) 03:14, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

GA Sweeps invitation
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.
We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!
