As a reviewer, my primary goal is to enforce only the Good Article Criteria, and merely make suggestions for things that fall outside that criteria. I am always willing to pass an article if there are other minor issues that would prevent a promotion to featured article status, as long as the GA criteria are satisfied.

When I begin a review, I also try to see if there's anything simple I can do to help pass the article. There is almost never a case where an article is perfect on the first nomination, but if it is close I try to make minor spelling and grammar corrections, list the issues preventing me from passing it, and put the article on hold to give the editors a chance to fix the issues.

I do not usually like to "quick-fail" an article unless there are several very significant issues where it is pretty clear to me that it was probably never ready for nomination in the first place. If an article meets the GA criteria, I will not go on a scavenger hunt for some small suggested changes just so I can place it on hold and feel like I've accomplished something, I'll just simply pass it.

		The Original Barnstar
		I'm not a frequent barnstar gifter, but this is just as a form of appreciation for your help with my GAN. I didn't expect it to all be solved so quickly and stress-free and that is because of your help. You've helped the page become only the fourth GA in the sport. Keep up the good work!
