User:Jj98/Sandbox/Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/Peer review

The peer review department of WikiProject United States conducts peer review of articles on request. The primary objective is to encourage better articles by having contributors who may not have worked on articles to examine them and provide ideas for further improvement.

The peer review process is highly flexible and can deal with articles of any quality; however, requesting reviews on very short articles may not be productive, as there is little for readers to comment on.

All reviews are conducted by fellow editors&mdash;usually members of the United States WikiProject. While there is a general intent to expand this process to allow for review by subject experts, the preparations for this are not yet complete.

Requesting a review

 * 1) Add   to the WikiProject United States project banner at the top of the article's talk page (see the template for more details on the exact syntax).
 * 2) From there, click on the "request has been made" link that appears in the template. This will open a page to discuss the review of your article.
 * 3) Place   at the top.
 * 4) Below it, write your reason for nominating the article and sign by using four tildes.
 * 5) Add   at the top of the list of requests on this page.

Responding to a request
Everyone is encouraged to comment on any request listed here. To comment on an article, please add a new section (using ) for your comments, in order to keep multiple responses legible.

Archiving
Reviews should be archived after they have been inactive for some time, or when the article is nominated as a featured article candidate. To archive a review:


 * 1) Replace   with   in the WikiProject United States project banner template at the top of the article's talk page
 * 2) Move   from this page to the current archive page.
