Wikipedia:Article revisions for approval
 | This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. |
This is the proposed process to request approval of specific article revisions in accordance with the policies laid out on Wikipedia:Approved article revisions.
Approved revisions are defined as specific article revisions that are considered to be fully-sourced, neutral, grammatically correct, and readable. As such, articles should be reviewed for these qualities prior to being listed here (whether by peer review or through discussion on the talk page), and the following revision that is considered to be the best can then be listed here.
There are times when an article can lose approved-revision status. Wikipedia:Approved article revisions stipulates that articles may lose such status when "one of the listed sources doesn't work anymore, there was a previous oversight in the original request for approval, the approved revision is too old, or you're about to resubmit the article for approval." See below how to list an article for unapproval.
Approval requests[edit]
List articles in the following format:
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PageName&oldid=51518531 This Revision] of '''[[PageName]]''' ~~~~
Of course, replace PageName and the URL with the correct information. List new requests at the bottom. When you nominate an article, put {{arn}} by the top of the article's talk page.
If you are going to be reviewing the articles listed below, be sure to keep in mind the basic tenants listed on the top of this page.
To close a nomination, replace it with "*[[Article name]] approved." or "*[[Article name]] rejected, because ....". If you are approving a listed article, add {{aartalk}} (see template page for usage) by the top of the article's top page, below FA or GA related templates.
Remember, approved article revisions are only as good as the most lenient reviewer!
If a new article revision comes up, and you wish for that to be the approved revision instead, simply replace the link in the nomination.
