This page lists requests for peer review to expose articles to closer scrutiny than they might otherwise receive. It is intended for high-quality articles that have already undergone extensive work. Articles are often listed here before being nominated as featured article candidates. See Category:Wikipedia style guidelines and Category:Wikipedia how-to for advice on writing great articles. Otherwise, look at the discussion of the perfect article and try to reach as many of those ideals as possible.
If an article needs extensive work, please list it on Pages needing attention, Requests for expansion or Cleanup. List article content disputes on Requests for comment rather than here.
Note: Peer review sometimes implies a group of authoritative reviewers who are equally familiar and expert in the subject. The process represented by this page is not formal peer review in that sense; articles that undergo this process should not be assumed to have greater authority than any other.

Nomination procedure
Anyone can request peer review here. When posting your request, include a brief description of the kind of comments/contributions you want, and sections of the article you think need to be reviewed. The best way to get lots of reviews is to reply promptly and appreciatively on this page to the comments you do get.
- Procedure for adding nominations:
- Place {{peerreview}} at the top of the article's talk page (not the article itself) to let other editors of the article know that the article is being peer reviewed.
- From there, click on the link request has been made that appears in the new "peer review" box. This will open a page to discuss the review of your article.
- Place ===[[name of nominated article]]=== at the top (do not forget the link brackets).
- Below it, write your reason for nominating the article and sign by using four tildes (~~~~).
- Place {{Wikipedia:Peer review/name of nominated article}} at the top of the list of nominees found on this page (Requests).
- Politely request feedback on the discussion pages of one or more articles in the same or a related field, and/or send messages to one or more individual Wikipedians who have contributed to the same or a closely related field.
How to respond to a request
- Scan the list of requests below, and if one catches your fancy, follow the link to the article and read it. If you think something is wrong with the article—e.g., it's too long, there's no lead section, poor grammar/spelling, factual errors—you're welcome to post a comment in the appropriate section on this page.
- If you have the time and knowledge to resolve relatively minor issues in the article itself, this will be appreciated. If you do so, please consider making a note of this on the page to keep others informed about the progress of the article.
How to remove a request
- To free up the page for active traffic, and to make peer review a more dynamic and valuable process, you are invited to move inactive requests to the current archive link. Inappropriate listings, listings older than a month, and articles that have gone on to be listed as featured article candidates can and should be removed, as well as apparently forgotten requests where the requester has not responded to comments (if you post a request, please do not discourage reviewers by ignoring their efforts). Please see the request removal policy for specifics.
- After removing the listing from this page, contributors should place {{oldpeerreview}} in place of the {{peerreview}} tag on the article's talk page.
- If your request is removed, please feel free to put it back at the top of the list later.
How to resubmit a request
- Procedure for requesting a brand new peer review request:
- Move the peer review page to Wikipedia:Peer review/example/Archive1
- Edit the page Wikipedia:Peer review/example, remove the redirect.
- Resubmit the request and make a note where the old request is via a wikilink.
