Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review

This WikiProject Biography page is an archive, log collection, or currently inactive page; it is kept primarily for historical interest. If you want to revive discussion regarding the subject, you may try using the main project discussion page.

This department is inactive due to a shortage of reviewers. If you were considering nomination here, you may wish to try alternative forums such as: WikiProject Biography assessment, for informal assessments up to B-class Peer review, a Wikipedia-wide informal review to gain feedback from other editors Good article nominations, a formal review which is the only avenue for assigning a GA-class rating WikiProject Military history A-class review, a formal review for assigning an A-class rating to military biographies Featured article candidates, a formal review which is the only avenue for assigning an FA-class rating Aside from the biography assessment, it is considered inappropriate to nominate an article for more than one process at the same time.

The peer review department of the Biography WikiProject 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 to examine them and provide ideas for further improvement.

The peer review process is highly flexible and can deal with articles of any quality. The process is intended to make both marginal and good quality articles into excellent, encyclopedic ones. However, use of a peer review for articles assessed below the Biography WikiProject's B-Class may not be a good use of reviewers' time.

Editors with article requests involving significant policy and/or POV concerns or edit wars should use Wikipedia:Third opinion, Wikipedia:Requests for comment, and/or Noticeboards (Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard for living persons and Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents for others.) before a peer review.

All reviews are conducted by fellow editors—usually members of the Biography WikiProject. Please consider reviewing someone else's article too, if you request yours :-)

WikiProject peer reviews
This inactive or historical peer review page has had its instructions updated for posterity's sake. That's because there is now a Wikipedia Peer Review that peer reviews can be listed at, and the old instructions were out of date and may cause problems (or disappointment as not many people may see your review). If this page ever becomes active again, see here for a way to keep reviews up to date.
