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.

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.
[?]
- 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:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -
between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 7 cm, use 7 cm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 7 cm.
[?]
- 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:Manual of Style (numbers), please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.
[?] Specifically, an example is 8.7 cm.
- 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.
[?]
- 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.
[?]
- Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either
American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: meter (A) (British: metre), metre (B) (American: meter), organise (B) (American: organize), recognize (A) (British: recognise), program (A) (British: programme).
- 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.”
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of
Wikipedia's best work. See also

- If this article is about a person, please add
{{persondata|PLEASE SEE [[WP:PDATA]]!}}
along with the required parameters to the article - see
Wikipedia:Persondata for more information.
[?]
- 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.
[?]
- Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called ==The Biography==, it should be changed to ==Biography==.
[?]
- Please reorder/rename the last few sections to follow guidelines at
Wikipedia:Guide to layout.
[?]
- 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.
[?]
- Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either
American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: honor (A) (British: honour), realise (B) (American: realize), criticize (A) (British: criticise), isation (B) (American: ization), hemophilia (A) (British: haemophilia), installment (A) (British: instalment), programme (B) (American: program ).
- 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.”
- As done in
WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the
