Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture/Peer review

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WikiProject Architecture'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. 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; however, requesting reviews on very short articles may not be productive, as there is little for readers to comment on.

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.

Nomination procedure

Anyone can request peer review. 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:

  1. Place {{WP-Arch-peerreview}} at the top of the article's talk page, creating a peer review notice to notify other editors of the review.
  2. Within the notice, click "request has been made" to open a new discussion page.
  3. Place ===[[ARTICLE NAME]]=== at the top, with the name of your article in the link brackets, and then note the kind of comments/contributions you want, and/or the sections of the article you think need reviewing. Sign with four tildes (~~~~) and save the new page.
  4. Edit this page here, pasting {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture/Peer review/ARTICLE NAME}} at the top of the list of nominees.

Your review may be more successful if you politely request feedback on the discussion pages of related articles and/or send messages to Wikipedians who have contributed to the same or a related field.

[edit] Requests

[edit] Somerset Towers

This extensive article on the church towers of Somerset tries to cover a massive topic and describe the similarities and differences between the different towers. I would appreciate any guidance, particularly about architectural description and the number of images as i think this article could make it to GA & even possibly FA with expert guidance.— Rod talk 18:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bath Stone

I have recently expanded this article from a stub and would welcome comments, particularly on the balance between "uses" describing the buildings it has been used for and the geology, and quarries sections.— Rod talk 18:02, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cannons (house)

I am planning on submitting this article to GA but thought that WikiProject Architecture would be a good place to get some initial feedback especially as I feel that the architecture part of the article is currently one of the weaker sections. Thanks in advance. nancy (talk) 14:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Theatre of Pompey

I have researched this subject a great deal, but need feed back to improve it for a better rating as well as just getting more people to contribute.Amadscientist 05:08, 16 October 2007
