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. |

- 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 300 miles, use 300 miles, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 300 miles.[8] - Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.[5]

Per WP:MOS, avoid using words/phrases that indicate time periods relative to the current day. For example, recently might be terms that should be replaced with specific dates/times.[7]- One instance corrected. The other mention of recently is valid since it reveals a current trend (women faculty members) that will not suddenly change.Madcoverboy 22:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

edit- ^ The following suggestions are all semi-automatically generated by JavaScript, and there is no guarantee that they are all accurate; in most cases, however, they are correct for the article in question. The suggestions above include stylistic problems (many having to do with WP:MOS and its subpages, others can be found here) and other commonly found on WP:PR, WP:FAC, and WP:FARC. However, it is strongly suggested that besides just tackling the problems listed here, that you ask for human assistance to review your article with a greater depth.
You can use the script yourself. Add{{subst:js|User:AndyZ/peerreviewer.js}}
to your monobook.js, and then bypass your cache. While in editing mode, click on the peer review link that appears next to your logout button. - ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad ae af ag ah ai aj ak al am an ao ap aq ar as at au av aw ax ay This suggestion will always appear if the lead is only one paragraph long.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n If the lead is 5 paragraphs or longer, this suggestion will appear. It does not actually look at the content of the lead.
- ^ a b c d e f Many articles will not have applicable infoboxes. If an article already has an infobox/similar template, the javascript code probably did not recognize the infobox; please just

- ^ Partial dates like months and days of the week usually aren't linked; years alone are sometimes linked – see WP:CONTEXT. User:Bobblewik has an useful JavaScript code to deal with this - add
{{subst:js|User:Bobblewik/monobook.js/dates.js}}
to your monobook.js - ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad ae af ag ah ai aj ak al am In many occasions, these terms are used as relative time terms and have absolutely nothing to do with the recent time concern.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad ae af ag ah ai aj ak al am Certain phrases, especially “# in ”, will trigger this suggestion; in that case, the in is interpreted as “inches”.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o This will occasionally be triggered incorrectly due to certain phrases.
- ^ The categories and interwiki/language links usually are located at the bottom of the article. They are in the format [[Category:THE CATEGORY]] and [[es:Espanol]]. About the alphabetizing of interwiki links, see Wikipedia:Language order poll.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t See WP:FOOTNOTE for more information. The cite.php system is highly recommended by WP:WIAFA.
