Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Peer review

This page is specifically for requests for Peer review. Please place all Requests for comment on the project's Notice board, and all requests for cleanup on the project's cleanup request page.

The peer review department of the Comics 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; 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 Comics WikiProject. While there is a general intent to expand this process to allow for review by subject experts, the preparations for this are not yet complete.

Instructions

Requesting a review

1. Add peer-review=yes to the {{Comicsproj}} project banner at the top of the article's talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax).
2. 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.
3. Place === [[Name of nominated article]] === at the top.
4. Below it, write your reason for nominating the article and sign by using four tildes (~~~~).
5. Add {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Peer review/Name of nominated article}} at the top of the list of requests on this page.

If an article is listed for a second (or third, and so forth) peer review:

1. Move the existing peer review subpage (Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Peer review/Name of nominated article) to an archive (Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Peer review/Name of nominated article/Archive 1).
2. Follow the instructions for making a request above (editing the primary page, which will be a redirect to the archive, into a new request page).
3. Be sure to provide a prominent link to the last archive at the top of the request (e.g. "Prior peer review here.").

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 ==== [[User:Your name|Your 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:

1. Replace peer-review=yes with old-peer-review=yes in the {{Comicsproj}} project banner template at the top of the article's talk page
2. Move {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Peer review/Name of nominated article}} from this page to the current archive page.

Paying For It by Chester Brown

This is a fairly thorough article on a new book that's gotten a lot of press and has been anticipated for a long time. I'd like to get some feedback on how to make it better, as well as an assessment. Acidtoyman (talk) 07:59, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Weathercraft by Jim Woodring

I created this article a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I've fleshed it out, it has a pile of citations from reviews, videos and interviews, etc etc. I figure it's worth at least a Class-B rating, and would like to know what it would still need to achieve Class-A status. Acidtoyman (talk) 04:53, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Okay, so the article's been bumped up to Class B. Now what would be necessary to get it to Class A? Or is it there already? Feedback would be really helpful. Acidtoyman (talk) 12:05, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
