 * Commenting

Project members are heavily encouraged to comment on the review process, but the process is open to all interested parties. 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 being inactive for some time, or when the article is nominated as a featured article candidate. Typically if an article's review has had no comments for 30 days, the review should be archived. To archive a review:


 * 1) Move (do not copy) the existing peer review subpage to an archive subpage (e.g.  ).  The existing peer review page will become a redirect to the archive.
 * 2) Replace   with   in the WPGUNS project banner template at the top of the article's talk page
 * 3) Remove the link to the peer review page below and place a link to the archived review on the peer review archive page.


 * Subsequent reviews

To request subsequent peer reviews (second, third, forth, etc.), simply follow the directions above for requesting a new peer review. The difference will be that instead of creating a new review page, you will edit the existing redirect to the archive into a new review request. Existing reviews should be archived as perscribed above before proceeding with a new peer review request.
