Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups/Peer review

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shortcut: WP:ETHNICPR

The peer review department of WikiProject Ethnic groups 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 examine them and provide ideas for further improvement or expansion.

The peer review process is highly flexible and can deal with articles of any quality. The process is intended to make marginal and good quality articles to excellent, encyclopedic ones. However, use of a peer review for articles assessed below the WikiProject's B-Class level may not be a good use of reviewers' time.

Editors with article requests involving significant policy and/or POV concerns or edit wars should use Wikipedia:Third opinion, Wikipedia:Requests for comment, and/or bring questions to the Projct's talk page before a peer review.

All reviews are conducted by fellow editors—usually members of WikiProject Ethnic groups. 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. Please consider reviewing someone else's article too, if you request yours :-)

[edit] Instructions

[edit] Requesting a review

1. Add peer-review=yes to the {{Ethnic groups}} project banner at the top of the article's talk page (see the project banner instructions 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 === [[Name of nominated article]] === at the top.
4. Below it, write what you hope to gain from a peer review. For example, what are you aiming for with this article? Do you hope it can become a Featured Article? Good Article? Or something else? Remember to sign your post with four tildes (~~~~).
5. Add {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups/Peer review/Name of nominated article}} at the top of the list of requests on this page.
6. Add a link to your article to the beginning of the Peer Review announcement list.

[edit] 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 ==== [[User:Your name|Your name]] ====) for your comments, in order to keep multiple responses legible.

[edit] 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 peer-review=yes with old-peer-review=yes in the {{Ethnic groups}} project banner template at the top of the article's talk page
2. Move {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups/Peer review/Name of nominated article}} from this page to the current archive page.
3. Remove article from Peer review announcement list

[edit] Taiwanese aborigines

• This page is for Ethnic groups peer review.
• The article is pretty long. It's the product of a large amount of hard work, esp. by Maowang and myself, but also by countless others. It is currently a GA nominee and we hope to send it to FAC after that... --Ling.Nut 03:22, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
