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.

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

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.
[?]
- If there is not a
free use image in the top right corner of the article, please try to find and include one.
[?]
- You may wish to consider adding an appropriate
infobox for this article, if one exists relating to the topic of the article.
[?] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
- Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), when doing conversions, please use standard abbreviations: for example, miles -> mi, kilometers squared -> km2, and pounds -> lb.
[?]
- Per
Wikipedia:Context and
Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, if January 15, 2006 appeared in the article, link it as
January 15,
2006.
[?]
- As per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), please do not
link words in headings.
[?]
- Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was
Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.
[?]
- Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), avoid using special characters (ex: &+{}[]) in headings.
- Please reorder/rename the last few sections to follow guidelines at
Wikipedia:Guide to layout.
[?]
- 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
Wikipedia:Summary style.
[?]
- This article may need to undergo
summary style, where a series of appropriate subpages are used. For example, if the article is
United States, then an appropriate subpage would be
History of the United States, such that a summary of the subpage exists on the mother article, while the subpage goes into more detail.
[?]
- 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.”
- The script has spotted the following contractions: can't, don't, isn't, shouldn't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.
- 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]
[?]
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of
Wikipedia's best work. See also

- 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.”

etc.
- The script has spotted the following contractions: doesn't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.
- As done in
WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the

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 misplaced formality: “in order to/for” (-> to/for), “thereupon”, “notwithstanding”,
etc.
- The script has spotted the following contractions: don't, can't, can't, isn't, can't, can't, can't, can't, doesn't, isn't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of
Wikipedia's best work. See also
