 * Instructions


 * Requesting a review

To request the first A-Class review of an an article:
 * 1) Please double-check the Medicine A-class criteria and ensure that the article meets most or all of the five.
 * 2) Add   to the WPMED project banner at the top of the article's talk page (this should be added immediately after the   or   field, see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax).
 * 3) From there, click on the " currently undergoing " link that appears in the template. This will open a page pre-formatted for the discussion of the status of the article.
 * 4) List your reason for nominating the article in the appropriate place, and save the page.
 * 5) [ Add]   at the top of the list of A-Class review requests below.
 * 6) Consider reviewing another article, either at peer or A-class review to help with any backlog (note: this is not mandatory).

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 Medicine/Assessment/Name of nominated article) to an archive (WikiProject Medicine/Assessment/Name of nominated article/archive1).
 * 2) Update the link for the last review in the Article history on the article's talk page.
 * 3) Update the transclusion in the relevant assessment archive page, found by using the "What Links Here" feature.
 * 4) Follow the instructions for making a request above (editing WikiProject Medicine/Assessment/Name of nominated article, which will be a redirect to the archive, into a new nomination page).
 * 5) Be sure to provide a prominent link to the last archive at the top of the nomination statement (e.g. "Prior nomination here.").


 * Commenting

The new Medicine A-Class standard is deliberately set high, very close to featured article quality. Reviewers should therefore satisfy themselves that the article meets all of the A-Class criteria before supporting a nomination. If needed, a FAQ page is available. As with featured articles, any objections must be "actionable"; that is, capable of rectification.


 * After A-Class

Feel free to ask reviewers to help prepare your article as a featured article candidate. We're hoping that more FAC prep will help draw some of the regular FAC reviewers to our A-class review page.
