Wikipedia:Yoruba-related notice board/Peer review

The peer review department of the Yoruba-related notice board and WikiProject Yoruba conducts peer review of articles on request. The primary objective is to encourage better articles by having contributors who may not have worked on articles examine them and provide ideas for further improvement.

The peer review process is highly flexible and can deal with articles of any quality; however, requesting reviews on very short articles may not be productive, as there is little for readers to comment on.

All reviews are conducted by fellow editors—usually members of the notice board and project.

Instructions

Wikipedia's Yoruba 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 feedback on articles that are less developed, use the article's talk page or requests for feedback. 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 Requests for expansion or Cleanup, and content or neutrality disputes should be listed at Requests for comment.

Nomination procedure Anyone can request peer review for Yoruba-related articles. The best way to get lots of reviews is to reply promptly and appreciatively on this page to any comments. If you post a request, please do not discourage reviewers by ignoring their efforts. To add a nomination: Requesting a review Add peer-review=yes to the {{Yoruba noticeboard}} banner at the top of the article's talk page. If the page doesn't have a banner, add {{Yoruba noticeboard |peer-review=yes }}. From there, click on the "request has been made" link that appears in the template. This will open a page to discuss the review of your article. Place === [[Name of nominated article]] === at the top. Below it, write your reason for nominating the article and sign by using four tildes (~~~~). Add {{Wikipedia:Yoruba-related notice board/Peer review/Name of nominated article}} at the top of the list of requests on this page. Responding to a request Everyone is encouraged to comment on any request listed here. To comment on an article, please add a new section (using ==== Your user name ====) for your comments, in order to keep multiple responses legible. Archiving Reviews should be archived after they have been inactive for some time, or when the article is nominated as a featured article candidate. To archive a review: Replace peer-review=yes with old-peer-review=yes in the {{Yoruba noticeboard}} banner template at the top of the article's talk page Purge server cache
