Hello, I am User:Sadads, and I always like to give a little background on me before I begin reviews. I am a student of History and English, and have been contributing to Wikipedia for a while, mostly in fiction, but also in a wide variety of topics. I have been the primary contributer to GAs in literature including Quicksilver (novel) and The Great Lover (novel). I see the GA review as a process of peer review, less a approval process. I will be providing comments on major issues as well as minor edits over the next couple weeks. I will check of the various parts on the checklist and provide comments in the comments section bellow. The coments section is for conversation about improving the article, the checklist for me to keep track of my work. Since this article is so long and complex, it may be a long review. If I am somehow neglegent at any point, please contact me on my talk page or via Email. I have to say that I am particularly excited about working on this article, I love the novel series and the television series Sadads (talk) 00:22, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello Sadads. It's nice to have you as the GA reviewer for this article. Take as much time as you need with this review; I'm still to polish the Themes and Fandom sections for possible WP:SPINOUT issues before I am satisfied with the article. – sgeureka ^t•c 12:47, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry its been a couple days, I ran into a lot more work then I thought I had this week going into finals week next week. After midday monday EST, I will be on some copyediting, comments and the stuff :) Sadads (talk) 16:36, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Sadads, I see you haven't been on-wiki for a while. I'll be on vacation starting May 17 and will only return at the end of the month. If the GA review takes more time than the next few days (counting from today), I won't be unable to address the GA concerns for a while. – sgeureka ^t•c 14:10, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Sadads hasn't edited on Wikipedia for over a month. At this point, should we assume that this review is not going to get finished and return it to the GAN to-be-reviewed pool, or did you want to try the supplied email link in the hopes that it might get a response?

I sent Sadads an email two days ago asking if he'll return soon or if he wants someone else to take over here. He hasn't replied yet. I intended to wait two more days before I'd have asked at GAN how to proceed. – sgeureka ^t•c 09:10, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

I left a notice at WT:GAN#A Song of Ice and Fire GAN asking for closure in some way due to the uncertain situation with Sadads, unfortunately. – sgeureka ^t•c 08:44, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

I restarted the review process so that another reviewer can step in. Best of luck, Imzadi 1979 → 09:09, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
