The LGBT WikiProject peer review articles on request. This is to encourage better articles by having contributors who may not have worked on articles to examine them and provide ideas for further improvement. It is intended for high-quality articles that have already undergone extensive work, often as a way of preparing a featured article candidate - however, the process is highly flexible and can deal with articles of any quality though requesting reviews on very short articles may not be productive as there is little for readers to comment on. This process is not an academic peer review by a group of experts in a particular subject, and articles that undergo this process should not be assumed to have greater authority than any other.
Many articles which are supported by the LGBT Wikiproject are also within the scope of other WikiProjects, many of which have peer reviews departments are well. The peer review chosen is entirely at the discretion of the editor concerned.

[edit] Requests
[edit] Miriam Rivera
I have been attempting to source a lot of unsourced statements and information in the Miriam Rivera article, including:
- birthdate
- place of birth
- aliases
- work in pornography
- claims about a recent hospitalization
I have also been trying to limit the citations to reliable published sources. Many exist from 2004, when the subject was in the public eye. However, other sources, including a message board and blog for sex workers and people attracted to them keeps getting inserted as a reliable source. I'm seeking outside opinions regarding the quality of sources after a lot of back and forth with an editor who insists WP:IAR trumps all policy regarding sourcing and reliability.

[edit] Yannismarou
I have expressed my opinion in the article's talk page, and my reservations towards blogs. I am happy to see that the situation is calmer now there. Now, I understand the difficulty to source the information the article needs, but I don't think I can offer any original ideas. The article, as it stands now, is a start-class article; with some work and expansion it could get B.--Yannismarou 07:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Gateways club
I have added a lot of infomation to this article, including finding some pictures. It's a challenge to write as the club is a very passionate item amongst the older lesbians in the UK. I would like to see it elevated from a Stub. Fluffball70 22:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Cites come after a full stop and not before. Also try reviewing Wikipedia:Citation templates which'll help as concerns suggested citation styles. When citing from a book, it's best to quote the specific page number for each citation. LuciferMorgan 00:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I am confused? There is completed citation template for the book that was used. I'm not sure how you would do the page numbers? Except be doing each point as a complete new reference entry? Do I need to reference every single line? Fluffball70 19:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah you would do each point as a new entry, like; Surname (Publication date of book), p. number
The Iron Maiden (band) article does this. You would then add the book name to a References section. The section you've named References should be called Notes. LuciferMorgan 23:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people
Work has been ongoing to clear up this list, or lists, since October 2006. It has been converted to tables, vastly expanded, given a decent lead, see also section and images of people entered down one side. We are still working on formatting the references for entries and ensuring the sources are reliable, and are working to update the list with those who are elegible (please help!), so please ignore those issues. However, this is simple grunt work, and an FLC seems a real possibility sometime in the next few months. Advice on how to get there would be appreciated, particularly regarding what should be on the main page, it seems kinda empty. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 05:18, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Reference 14 or 15 in List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people/U-Z has messed with all the references. M3tal H3ad 12:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Fixed. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 13:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- The images need to be looked at and possibly redone. As examples, Guy Burgess is unsourced. Alan Turing is copyrighted (there's not nearly enough critical commentary to be able to justify fair use her). Rupert Everett gives no indication that the image is actually free and doesn't state who the copyright holder is. Also, lots of the references need to be improved. For examples, Mark Levengood is cited to another Wikipedia. Steve Kmetko has a link titled "www.findarticles.com". No article title, no name of the original publisher, no author, no original publishing date, no date of retrieval. ShadowHalo 12:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I did say in my original message that the references were an ongoing thing. I didn't know about the images though, I will go have them sorted out. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 15:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
