I'd like to recommend that you seek out a mentor before doing additional GA reviews, given the issues with your first two, and to hold off from doing further ones with issues like COI until you have gained more experience in the GA space.

Incomplete DYK nomination
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Al-Bayan (radio station) at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 03:18, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi LavaBaron. I put some time into this article today. Could you please take a look, and comment at AfD? Thanks.Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:20, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hey thanks very much for the barnstar. I love those things. :-) The barnstar inspired me to edit the article a bit more. It's now over 2.5 kb of readable prose, which seems enough to escape AfD, assuming that the whole 2.5 kb is quality material (of course). Cheers.Anythingyouwant (talk) 02:35, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Good Article Review issues
LavaBaron, you seem to be plunging into GA reviewing with great enthusiasm, but I'm concerned that you're also being too quick in your reviews, coming to positive or negative conclusions too speedily.
Typically, if there are issues with a nomination that can reasonably be fixed in a week's time, you are expected to give the nominator the opportunity to do this. The George Washington Truett article, which you seemed to review and attempt to fail almost immediately, does not list the sort of major problems on the review page that would preclude such fixing. There are limits to what sorts of structural issues should qualify an article for a quick fail. Five points about inadequate references are not enough, though if better references cannot be found after a week on hold, then you can consider failing the nomination then. (You have not properly closed the nomination per the GA instructions, which is probably a good thing, as it shouldn't be closed/failed yet.)
By the same token, you appear to have listed Public Storage too quickly. Just a quick look through finds basic punctuation errors (which should not appear in any GA, and should be enumerated in the review), and the fact that this is a submission by a someone with a Conflict of Interest (COI) means that extra care needs to be taken. The article sentence in the last section, "Public Storage is the largest of four publicly traded self-storage REITs.", should not have been allowed to pass without comment, as it's cited to a 2008 source, and this is 2015: it might no longer be the largest, or the number of publicly traded self-storage REITs might be more or fewer at present. I'm rather surprised that you took it on as one of your first reviews, and more so that you finished so very quickly. This one may well have to be reassessed to be sure there aren't any other issues waiting; if there are, the GA listing could be revoked. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:52, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
- The very specific nature of the claim makes the fact the source is dated 2008 entirely unremarkable. I'm unaware of what "basic punctuation errors" to which you're referring. If you'd like to point them out, I'd be happy to consider your counsel with greater gravitas. As for George Washington Truett, the sheer volume of unsourced, or poorly sourced (e.g. comments sections), statements justifies an immediate failure. I'm surprised and perplexed you would think that article is in a position to be easily brought-up to GA standards when the editor is liberally sourcing comments sections.

- I add my concerns here. In my opinion, your GA review of Public Storage is shockingly inadequate, and I encourage you to desist. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:16, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
