Wikipedia's
Peer review process exposes articles to closer scrutiny from a broader group of editors, and is intended for high-quality articles that have already undergone extensive work, often as a way of preparing a
featured article candidate. It is not
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.
For general editing advice, see
Wikipedia style guidelines,
Wikipedia how-to,
"How to write a great article", and
"The perfect article". Articles that need extensive basic editing should be directed to
Pages needing attention,
Requests for expansion or
Cleanup, and content or neutrality disputes should be listed at
Requests for comment.

The following peer review suggestions were semi-automatically generated by a
javascript code - they may or possibly may not be accurate/applicable for the article in question due to unique differences for each articles. They are provided as a supplement to manual suggestions, and generally focus on
stylistic issues that peer reviewers may miss or not be aware of.
Creation procedure
Generally, the suggestions will be generated
semi-automatically by
User:AZPR, though all users can run the script themselves by following the
instructions for installation.
How to respond to a request
Feel free to strike out issues that have already been taken care of or to respond to problems; questions about issues can be left on this page (which hopefully an editor will notice and respond to) or on the articles
peer review page.
How to remove a request
Automated reviews for articles that have been closed or archived should be left on this page to keep the links organized.
How to get updated suggestions
A message can be left at
here or
here requesting an updated automated review, or you can install the script yourself by following instructions at

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic
javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
- Watch for
redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's
redundancy exercises.)
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
- Avoid using contractions like (outside of quotations): couldn't.
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of
Wikipedia's best work. See also

- The lead of this article may be too long, or may contain too many paragraphs. Please follow guidelines at
WP:LEAD; be aware that the lead should adequately summarize the article.

- Consider adding more
links to the article; per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and
Wikipedia:Build the web, create links to relevant articles.

- Per
Wikipedia:Context and
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide
context for the article.

- Per
Wikipedia:Context and
Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link

- This article is a bit too short, and therefore may not be as comprehensive as
WP:WIAFA critera 1(b) is looking for. Please see if anything can be expanded upon.
[?]
- I know this is an automated peer review by a bot; but one of the things I'm looking for is suggestions for what to add to the article to make it more comprehensive; what do readers want to know that isn't already specifically stated? ~

- The specific "it has been" that you mentioned is atributed to the New York Times. There is another instance of weasle wording that the bot missed which has a {{fact}} tag appended to it. One of the problems is that the person who wants that nugget of information in the article can only attribute it to two on-line discussion forums, which in my understanding fail
WP:RS. If anyone has suggestions for what to do about this, that's one of the specific things I'm looking for in this peer review. ~

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic
javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
- Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at
Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on
WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.
[?]
- Consider adding more
links to the article; per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and
Wikipedia:Build the web, create links to relevant articles.
[?]
- Per
Wikipedia:Context and
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide
context for the article.
[?]
- See if possible if there is a
free use image that can go on the top right corner of this article.
[?]
- Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -
between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 25 metre, use 25 metre, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 25 metre.
[?]
- When writing standard abbreviations, the abbreviations should not have a 's' to demark plurality (for example, change kms to km and lbs to lb).
- As per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), please do not
link words in headings.
[?]
- Generally, trivia sections are looked down upon; please either remove the trivia section or incorporate any important facts into the rest of the article.
[?]
- Per
WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long- consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per

American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: favourite (B) (American: favorite), meter (A) (British: metre), metre (B) (American: meter), enrollment (A) (British: enrolment).
- Watch for
redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's
redundancy exercises.)
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
- Avoid using contractions like (outside of quotations): don't, don't, don't.
- As done in
WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the
CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]

- While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 14 additive terms, a bit too much.

All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
- As done in
WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the
