 The Articles for Creation Reviewer training program is designed to help relatively new and/or inexperienced users who wish to assist with maintenance tasks to understand the basic principles of reviewing submitted pages at Articles for Creation, and to provide one-on-one help in understanding our policies and guidelines for the creation of suitable articles for the encyclopedia and in the use of the Helper Script.
Experienced Wikipedians (or trainers in this instance) can "adopt" newer users, mentoring them along the way as they learn how to review submitted pages. It is hoped that this program will be able to inform new reviewers about the ins and outs of deletion, notability, and copyright violations, hoaxes and other inappropriate pages and steer them away from making errors in the use of the tools, and to provide the creators with suitable friendly comments. If you are looking to contribute to Wikipedia but do not intend to remain active at Articles for Creation then this program is probably not for you. Users who are less experienced – but who would still like to help maintain the quality of the encyclopedia might like to consider Patrolling Vandalism instead - an essential function that requires less knowledge of Notability Guidelines and Deletion. For training on Counter vandalism, see WP:CVUA.
