 * Instructions


 * Requesting a review

To request an A-Class review of an article:


 * 1) Place   at the top.
 * 2) Below it, write your reason for nominating the article and sign by using four tildes.
 * 3) Add   at the top of the list of A-Class review requests below.

If an article is nominated a second (or third, and so forth) time, either because it failed a prior nomination, or because it may no longer meet the standards and may thus need to be demoted: There is no limit on how quickly renominations of failed articles may be made; it is perfectly acceptable to renominate as soon as the outstanding objections from the previous nomination have been satisfied.
 * 1) Move (do not copy) the existing review subpage (WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/A class review/Name of nominated article) to an archive (WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/A class review/Name of nominated article/Archive 1).
 * 2) Follow the instructions for making a request above (editing WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/A class review/Name of nominated article, which will be a redirect to the archive, into a new nomination page).
 * 3) Be sure to provide a prominent link to the last archive at the top of the nomination statement (e.g. "Prior nomination here.").


 * Commenting

Reviewers should keep the criteria for featured articles in mind when supporting or opposing a nomination. However, please note that (unlike actual featured articles) A-Class articles are not expected to fully meet all of the criteria; an objection should indicate a substantive problem with the article. In particular, objections over relatively minor issues of writing style or formatting should be avoided at this stage; a comprehensive, accurate, well-sourced, and decently-written article should qualify for A-Class status even if it could use some further copyediting.


 * Closing and archiving

Reviews will be closed after seven days have elapsed. An article will generally be promoted to A-Class if (a) it has garnered at least three endorsements from uninvolved editors, and (b) there are no substantive objections; a nomination with an isolated objection may pass, however, if that objection is not indicative of a major flaw in the article.

To close a review, coordinators should:
 * 1) Change the   in the WikiProject National Register of Historic Places project banner at the top of the article's talk page to either   (if the nomination is successful) or   (if it is not).
 * 2) Move the   from the list of requests below to the current archive page.
 * 3) Add   and   to the top and bottom of the review subpage, respectively.
