=A beginner's guide to reviewing at military history A-class and peer reviews= The Military History Project offers internal peer reviews, where reviewers give informal feedback on an article, and more formal A-class reviews, where editors declare their support or opposition to an article's promotion to A-class in accordance with our criteria. While it is not mandatory, editors nominating an article for one of these reviews are encouraged to offer full or partial reviews of other articles under review. Any constructive feedback is welcome, and don't worry if you make mistakes.

One of the most useful things a reviewer can do is just to read all or part of the article carefully, fix anything that's an obvious typo or problem, and make comments or ask any questions that come to mind. If you have expertise in a particular area, such as image licenses or the Manual of Style, and feel able to review those things, please do. We have a checklist of style points, such as clarity and conciseness.

There are many important but simple things that don't take long to check, such as dead external links or links to disambiguation pages. If you're reviewing only part of the article or if your review will take several days, your comments are just as welcome—just let us know in your comments.

Above all, remember that the aim is to improve the quality of the article being reviewed, so keep your comments polite and constructive and try to work with the nominator to improve the article.
