Wikipedia's peer review process is a feature where an editor can receive feedback from others on how to improve an article they are working on, or receive advice about a specific issue queried by the editor. The process helps users find ways for improvement that they themselves didn't pick up on. Compared to the real-world peer review process, where experts themselves take part in reviewing the work of another, the majority of the volunteers here, like most editors in Wikipedia, lack expertise in the subject at hand. This is a good thing—it can make technically worded articles more accessible to the average reader. Those looking for expert input should consider contacting editors on the volunteers list, or contacting a relevant WikiProject.

To request a review, see the instructions page. Nominators are limited to one review at a time, and are encouraged to help reduce the backlog by commenting on other reviews. Any editor may comment on a review, and there is no requirement that any comment be acted on. Editors and nominators may both edit articles during the discussion.

A list of all current peer reviews, with reviewers' comments included, can be found here. For easier navigation, a list of peer reviews, without the reviews themselves included, can be found here. A chronological peer reviews list can be found here.

D.Va[edit]


I've listed this article for peer review because I think it could eventually (sooner than later) be a potential FA candidate. After a peer review, I'll ask for a copyedit as well.

It'd be cool to see what an editor who doesn't really edit video game articles thinks about this one (I think it'd offer a valuable perspective, sort of a "fresh pair of eyes" type of thing), but I'd be happy and appreciative with any peer commentary.

Much thanks :-) Soulbust (talk) 05:59, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I've listed this article for peer review because I want to get it to a GA. This would be my first GA article but I need to know all of the details that are wrong with it so I can fix them.

This peer review req is useless and should be closed. The article is not even close to GA criteria yet. Article suffers from WP:PLOT, isn't broad in its coverage yet and contains mostly unsourced statements. More significant work needed. GlatorNator () 12:42, 28 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Previous peer review


I'd like to bring this article to GAN this year, which will be my first GAN. The article underwent PR in January of this year; it was recommended that it undergoing copy editing. The WP:GUILD copyedited the article last month. I have since added another section. Comments regarding GAN standards / criteria (or otherwise) are greatly appreciated!

Fungi in art[edit]


I've listed this article for peer review because…

I am seeking for help to improve this page. Any kind of comments or review is welcome, really. Even better if other editors feel like going directly to the page and edit it. As background information: I nominated the page for GA and received robust feedback, which I believe I went through point by point. In particular, I focussed the topic of page, removed what sounded like original research, and specified the sources better. I don't think nominating the page for GA again will be high on my priorities, but perhaps helping removing the clean-up banners on top of the page would be helpful. user:TompaDompa spent quite some time on this and I appreciate a lot the efforts.

Pinging TompaDompa here (does that work?) - Thanks, CorradoNai (talk) 14:45, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The first ping worked, the second didn't. The way to get a ping to work is to link to an editor's user page in your comment, either directly (i.e. User:UserNameGoesHere) or using a template such as {{u}} or {{ping}}, and sign your comment with the same edit. If you add the mention and your signature with different edits, it won't work (probably the most common reason pings don't work). Further details about this can be found at WP:MENTION. Alternatively, you can link to an editor's user page in your edit summary (as I did with this edit). Anyway, I'll try to find the time take a look at this, but I'm working on a bunch of other things at the moment and can't make any promises. TompaDompa (talk) 21:41, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comments from Z1720[edit]

Some thoughts about the article after a quick skim:

  • Add citations to everywhere that says "citation needed". There should also be a citation at the end of every paragraph that verifies the information before it.
  • Bullet point lists are usually not needed and can be removed or written as prose. Multiple examples are not usually necessary, and only the most important ones should be included. Typically, if the example does not have a Wikipedia article, I do not include it.
  • You can verify any information where it says "verification needed" If the source says the information that preceeds it, you can remove the tag. If not, the information should be reworded to fit the source, a new source should be found, or the information deleted.
  • The article suffers from WP:OVERSECTION with some sections containing one paragraph. These should be expanded upon or merged with other sections.

I hope this helps. Z1720 (talk) 01:28, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Christina Aguilera[edit]

Previous peer review


It's been over eight years since this article was last assessed and 13 years since its last peer review. A lot has happened in her career since then, including two studio albums, a return to touring, and a residency. The article has also gone through some format changes, with sections being reorganized and split to focus on specific topics. The article suffers from a lot of problems that need to be addressed, and I feel that this peer review will be very useful. Some sections are bloated, and the wording can be very awkward. Further more some sources might be outdated, since it's been so long since the last time this article was reviewed. However, I still think this article is close to being a GA candidate.

Comments after a quick skim:

  • The lede is quite long, and can possibly be shortened
    •  Done
  • "She attended Marshall Middle School in Wexford, Pennsylvania and North Allegheny Intermediate High School in McCandless, Pennsylvania before leaving the school to be homeschooled and avoid bullying she experienced there." Needs a citation
  • "Aguilera starred in the romantic science fiction Zoe, which was premiered at the Tribeca Film festival in April 2018, and was later released on July 20 by Amazon Studios." Needs a citation
    •  Done
  • Does the book in the Further reading section need to be there? It doesn't seem to do with Aguilera directly and might be promotional.
  • Forbes contributors are not considered reliable sources, per WP:FORBESCON.

Comments from AJona1992[edit]

  • Not a fan of multiple usages of similar terms; rephrase the sentence "Referred to as the "Voice of a Generation", she is known for her four-octave vocal range and signature melismatic singing style" to → "Referred to as the "Voice of a Generation" due to her distinguished four-octave vocal span and distinctive melismatic approach to singing."
  • The following sentence is also plagued with the same issue; "she is", try "Recognized as an influential figure in popular music, Aguilera is ascribed with forging a path for contemporary artists who integrate frequently controversial motifs like feminism, sexuality, and LGBT culture into their musical repertoire."
  • "After appearing on television as a child" → "Following appearances on television in her youth"
  • "and Aguilera won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist." → "and procured the Grammy Award for Best New Artist"
  • "The latter two constituted a departure from her teen idol image and Stripped became one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century." → "Aguilera achieved sustained success with the releases of Mi Reflejo (2001), Stripped (2002), and the critically acclimed Back to Basics (2006). The latter two albums represented a significant departure from her portrayal as a teen idol, while Stripped became one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century."
  • "the latter reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 making Aguilera one of the few artists to reach the top spot over three decades." → "the latter peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, solidifying Aguilera's distinction as one of the select few artists to dominate the pinnacle of the music charts across three successive decades."
  • "she and was ranked the eighth" → needs fixing
  • There's dub links (David Browne)
  • There's also a lot of "her" and "she", needs a variety
  • I am finding too many instances with "is also"
  • Is it LGBT or LGBTQ? I found different variations used in the article
  • The New York Times is linked more than once in the article body as well as Stephen Thomas Erlewine and her honorific name. Possible that there are more instances of this throughout the article.
  • There are also harv warnings
  • Overall the article needs additional improvements, especially with the writing. I'd suggest submitting it through WP:GOCE/REQ before going through GA. Best of luck, – jona 20:13, 26 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comments after a quick skim:

  • Suggest expanding the lede to summarise/mention all sections in the article. See MOS:LEDE for more details.
  • The "Professional ratings" chart only has one entry. Try finding additional ratings/reviews at WP:A/S to add to this chart.
    •  Comment: There is no any more ratings. Singles ratings are quite rare. Eurohunter (talk) 22:18, 28 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    •  Comment: All credits are already included. There are no more known credits. Eurohunter (talk) 22:18, 28 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • The infobox says the song is "Cold Wave" but this is not mentioned in the body of the article, nor is it cited. I suggest that information about the song's genre is added to the article body (probably under background)

Aoba47[edit]

  • The source link for File:Taylor Swift 043 (18117777270).jpg is dead. The source and author links are dead for File:Antonoff in Tucson (cropped).jpg. Just wanted to group both of these together as they deal with the same error.
  • The WP:FUR for File:Don't Blame Me by Taylor Swift song sample.ogg says that critics mention this song as representative of the album, while this is not represented in the actual caption for the audio sample. The caption is more focused on the song rather than justifying its inclusion in the album article. Just to compare the caption for the "Delicate" audio sample does this very well.
  • Apologies in advance if I missed this. I looked through the sources, and I was curious if you looked into scholarly articles and coverage on the album (like through Google Scholar). I have not looked myself so there may not be anything, but I was wondering if you had looked for these kinds of sources?
  • I have a quick question about the Eras Tour mention near the end of the article. For this part (tribute to all of Swift's 10 studio albums up-to that point), but according to the article, there doesn't appear to be much if anything with her debut album. I know this is more outside of the scope of this article, but I was just curious on how it was paying tribute to that album?

Unfortunately, I will not be able to do a full review of the article. My primary point of this review was the first three points (i.e. pointing out issues with the images and audio sample and asking about the possibility of scholarly coverage), while the fourth point is more of a clarification question for something I noticed along the way. Sorry that this peer review has not received much attention, but I hope these comments are at least somewhat useful. Best of luck with the future FAC!

Ippantekina[edit]

Howdy! I'm chiming in real quick based on my first impression on the lead.

  • Phrasings such as "while", "as well", "additionally" etc. are almost always bad wording. Try to minimise them as much as possible. To demonstrate, I present some crisper alternative wordings as follows,
    • "Lyrically, "NDA" speaks about Eilish's battles with fame and for privacy, as well as touching on her relationships." → Inspired by her relationships, "NDA" has lyrics about Eilish's struggle with fame and fight for privacy.
    • "The track's production and vocal performance were acclaimed, while its themes left some critics divided. Additionally, in some reviews, issues were taken with the song's lack of relatability or placement within Happier Than Ever." → Critics acclaimed the production and vocals, but some took issue with its themes and said it was a misplacement on Happier Than Ever's track list.
  • Passive voice is a no-go. Some examples to demonstrate this point better,
    • "The track's production and vocal performance were acclaimed" → Critics acclaimed the production and vocals
    • "issues were taken with the song's lack of relatability" → some took issue with its themes...
    • ""NDA" was promoted by a self-directed music video," → Eilish self-directed the music video for "NDA", which...
    • "Similarly to the song, the visual also was dubbed as dark, eerie, and moody" → Critics said the video's atmosphere effectively accompanied the song's production and described it as dark...

Those are my two cents! Ippantekina (talk) 16:27, 28 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Super Kirby Clash[edit]


I've listed this article for peer review because I plan on taking it to GA soon. I've created the article from scratch over the last two months, and I'm hoping I can take it all the way. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks, QuicoleJR (talk) 15:56, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The article just needs expansion, period. Its gameplay and reception sections are both extremely short - only about several sentences. If one can't pull more information from the collective reviews on the game, I'm not sure what to say. Compare and contrast to the size of those respective sections in an article I brought to GA, Tetris DS and you will see the difference.
Another issue is Development is near nonexistent. Make sure you don't confuse development with original research. I'm not sure if "give the player a sense of advancement" is something the devs said, or just a speculation. I actually found a blogpost by the game designer and general director with legitimate development info here and here (requires Google Translate). There may be more, I didn't look super hard. Its also possible that any dev info for the previous 3DS game that this is based on could be integrated, since they all seem to refer to it as an "evolution" of that game (I'm not sure how similar the two are). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 16:16, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
BTW, "give the player a sense of advancement" is something the devs said, albeit rephrased a bit. The second and third paragraphs are sourced to Super Kirby Clash Channel, which sounds like a crappy blog but is actually a channel on the news application for the Nintendo Switch, making it an acceptable primary source. Anyway, I will keep in mind your suggestions. QuicoleJR (talk) 16:29, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

P.S. I have modified article class to C. It is still pretty firmly there IMO, not to get into a pitched debate about it or anything. I just don't want to give false illusions about how close it is to GA. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 18:12, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

John M Wolfson[edit]

Some thoughts:

  • Rephrase the opening sentence to be something to the effect of "The road network of Madagascar, comprising about 4,500 unique roads spanning 31,640 km (19,660 mi), is centered on roads to and from the capital Antananarivo."
  • Remove the footnote reference to Wiktionary.
  • Remove the footnotes to the French singulars unless they differ from either Standard French or, as in the first note, common English usage.
  • Separate the history stuff into a dedicated history section.
  • Remove the caption reference to Commons, instead using {{Commons-cat}} in the "References" section.
  • If you're referencing a book or multi-page source, split off the references to incorporate page numbers; use {{sfn}} for footnotes, and separate the long forms (the actual book citations) into a separate "Works cited" section. This particular issue sunk my first ever FAC way back in early 2019.
  • Good job on having alt texts.

– John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 20:32, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for the feedback. I've modified the first sentence, removed the footnote to wiktionary, removed the footnotes to French singulars, and moved the commons interwikilink to the references section. With respect to Separate the history stuff into a dedicated history section, I'll take a crack at doing that today.
With respect to If you're referencing a book or multi-page source, split off the references to incorporate page numbers; use {{sfn}} for footnotes, the article currently uses {{rp}} in line with WP:IBID. It's my preferred citation style and that's fine per WP:WHENINROME, and it doesn't cause issues with the visual editor (sfn does cause problems), so I'm a bit confused as to why this would constitute a problem. Do FAs have to use sfn instead of any other citation style? Alternatively, am I missing page numbers for certain citations where one would expect them? — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 17:54, 30 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I did not notice the RP, that is also acceptable. I have not performed a thorough source review, but I trust the sourcing is adequate. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 18:01, 30 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

McDonnell Douglas Phantom in UK service[edit]


I've listed this article for peer review because I'm aiming to try and get it to Featured Article status. I put it up for this in 2020 and it was rejected, after which Mark83 and I collaborated in an effort to improve it to a standard where it could potentially be successful. We've now gone through this and I would like to give it another go, but it would probably be a good idea to get someone else's opinion on it before submitting it.

Pure Storage[edit]


My name is Zac Bond and I work for Pure Storage. It appears 4 years ago a prior employee disclosed, made some minor edits, and requested larger ones on Talk, which were implemented by a volunteer. The tag alleging Terms of Use violations was added because of user AaronEndre's incomplete disclosure when he started the page 11 years ago. This page has been re-written since then, but the tag was left up due to neutrality/tone concerns.

It's possible I'm not summarizing correctly, but that's what I've gathered. In a nutshell, it appears the current page is still not considered neutral as a result of Talk page contributions from a former Pure Storage employee. I'd like your feedback on how I can fix that, where and how the page sounds promotional, and how for me to best assist. ZacBond (talk) 23:16, 23 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comments from Z1720[edit]

Comments after a quick skim:

  • The lede typically doesn't need citations, per MOS:CITELEDE, as the information is usually also in other parts of the article.
  • "Tina "Tigr" Mennett as herself[9][10][11][12]" Are four citations needed for this? Is this a controversial fact?
  • The "Production" section is quick small, particularly the filming part, and perhaps can be expanded upon or merged.
  • The "Release" section is also quite small, and I suggest expanding upon this.
  • "SFe for Time Out magazine said "sometimes the camera is a coolly discriminating, independent viewpoint, sometimes a goggling, peeping eye"." Why is this important and what is this commenting on? Put this quote in context, or summarise what it says.
  • The Reception section falls into the "X says Y" trap. Read WP:RECEPTION for information on how to avoid this.
  • Suggest archiving the citations, using IABot. Here's a link to this.
  • If you are looking for more sources, try WP:LIBRARY, Google Scholar, or databases from your local library system.

Hi Z1720, sorry for taking a while to respond. Thank you for the feedback! Here is how it’s coming along:
  • The lede typically doesn't need citations, per MOS:CITELEDE, as the information is usually also in other parts of the article.
 Done I do have one question, though— do you think should I restore the citations which backed up the genre (quasi-documentary)? KH doesn’t get referred to as this throughout the rest of the article.
  • "Tina "Tigr" Mennett as herself[9][10][11][12]" Are four citations needed for this? Is this a controversial fact?
 Done Not controversial at all; I’ve gone ahead and removed the excess citations. Also, quite a few of those sources appeared to be unreliable, so we’ve just killed two birds.
  • The "Production" section is quick small, particularly the filming part, and perhaps can be expanded upon or merged.
 Working on this. I’m probably going to end up merging the two because I can’t find anything else on how it was filmed.
  • The "Release" section is also quite small, and I suggest expanding upon this.
 Done I also merged a relatively short portion of Reception with Release. As far as I could tell, there wasn’t any available info about how the film did at the box office when it was first released. The only numbers I found were those of the 2022 re-release. It seemed more appropriate to merge.
  • "SFe for Time Out magazine said "sometimes the camera is a coolly discriminating, independent viewpoint, sometimes a goggling, peeping eye"." Why is this important and what is this commenting on? Put this quote in context, or summarise what it says.
  • The Reception section falls into the "X says Y" trap. Read WP:RECEPTION for information on how to avoid this.
Still  Working on these two.
 Done by Awkwafaba. Thank you; I was struggling to get the bot running.
  • If you are looking for more sources, try WP:LIBRARY, Google Scholar, or databases from your local library system.
 Done Oh yeah! I’d forgotten all about TWL. I signed up and poked around for a bit, but sadly didn’t find anything. ◇HelenDegenerate◆ 00:42, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

1919 Copa del Rey Final[edit]


I've listed this article for peer review because I plan on nominating it for an FA at some point in the future.

Thanks, — Ixtal ( T / C ) Non nobis solum. 14:12, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Harrias[edit]

Some broad strokes points:

  • The citations need to specify more clearly what the source is. For example, reference 18 is currently:
    • "El Día (Madrid. 1916). 19/5/1919". Hemeroteca Digital. Biblioteca Nacional de España. 19 May 1919. p. 5. Archived from the original on 20 September 2022. Retrieved 6 September 2022.
  • But this doesn't really tell us that usefully what the source is. So instead, I would recommend this (there is no need for an access date for a newspaper source:
  • All facts need citations to back them up. So, for example, the first paragraph of the Route to the final would need citations for the information provided.
  • I also can't see a source for the line-ups.
  • Opinions like those given in the first sentence of the match Summary "Barcelona used a more patient, technical style of play while Arenas relied on a brute-force method of reaching the opponent's goal. The latter's physical advantage and consequent endurance was a major influence on the result" need to have inline attribution. This can be as simple as: "According to Martin Fernandez, Barcelona used a more patient, technical.."
  • A bit of further context would be useful. How successful were the teams in the subsequent years? When was La Liga formed, and were the teams part of that?

The prose would also need some tidying prior to a FAC, but finer detail like that can be worked on after getting the structure right, I think. Harrias (he/him) • talk 18:03, 31 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'll work on the citations soon, thanks so much for the comments and sorry for replying so late, Harrias. I'm uncertain about where to provide that further context. A section after the Match section could work but I don't know what it would be titled. — Ixtal ( T / C ) Non nobis solum. 10:03, 16 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comments by David Fuchs[edit]

{{in progress}} Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 14:03, 16 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Overall thoughts:

  • The lead really doesn't properly cover the contents of the article; it blitzes through a ton of content and is mostly focused on post-release updates and legal woes.
  • The infobox shouldn't have all the personnel unless they're notable or significantly covered in the prose (they're also unreferenced.)
  • In general, the prose needs a lot of work, as it's an active stumbling block to understanding some elements. I recommend reading through User:Tony1/How to improve your writing for general tips and exercises to apply.
    • A good example in the lead: After Autumn Games severed ties with distributor Konami in December 2013, the latter formally requested to have the game removed from the PlayStation and Xbox storefronts. The clunky language just begs more questions (can you informally request a game removal? Did the game get removed or not?
  • The gameplay section starts off by comparing the gameplay to another game, which I've never played, and which is thus useless for explaining this game's gameplay. Likewise, a ton of jargon is used like "snapbacks", "infinite combos", "generate meter", et al. This should be minimally comprehensible for someone who isn't a serious fighting game player.
  • The character rosters seems like undue weight, unless these are individually significantly covered in reception or secondary sources.
  • Weird that the plot section doesn't actually cover the game's plot, which I assumed didn't existed until I saw the mention of a story mode's final boss.
  • The initial development of the game only merits a single paragraph, while stuff like exact backer rewards and kickstarter stretch goal timeframes deserves the same amount of text? This feels imbalanced and simultaneously needs trimming in some areas and expansion in others.
  • For all the discussion about the legal changes, it's never explained how the new studio actual comes to manage the IP versus Lab Zero Games.
  • Why does the soundtrack section start with the soundtrack's release and then go back in time a year to talk about who actually composed the music?
  • The release section just wallops you with a ton of release dates; I don't see how announcement dates of delayed launches or beta tests are significant enough to need exact dates for (or mentioning, for that matter.)
  • Skullgirls mobile is a completely different game, so it's weird it's covered in the release section for the Skullgirls console/PC game.
  • Reception section needs work; the section opens with the Metacritic scores and then never bothers summarizing general critic consensus beyond that; criticism is lumped together in a single section instead of being covered in the respective sections before (e.g. why are the critics lamenting the limited number of game modes not discussed in the gameplay paragraph before it?)
  • What makes Shoryuken, Fanbyte, Esports.gg, Kakuchopurei, VGR high-quality reliable sources? (Shoryuken in particular is listed as unreliable at WP:VG/S.)
  • I don't think there's solid fair use rationales for two non-free screenshots, especially since File:Skullgirls screenshot 2.png is pretty tough to actually see what's going on in the shot.

Thanks for taking the time to look into those issues. I will try searching for better sources for those that you mentioned. For the book sources, since most book sources in the article use direct referencing, would using {{rp}} to cite different page numbers be better than {{sfn}}? (most FAs I have seen have used {{sfn}} though) Sanglahi86 (talk) 05:18, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sorry for the delay, give me some time and I'll come back to it with a follow-up. Regarding which template to you, you could use either, there is no recommendation other than that it should be consistent. Tayi Arajakate Talk 18:59, 4 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comments[edit]

  • First of all, citation format is inconsistent. Some books are listed under bibliography while others are directly cited to and present under citations.  Used direct references (with {{rp}} for different page numbers)
  • Duka 2008 (ref 100, 110) appears to be a high school level textbook. While college textbooks including undergraduate ones can be good tertiary sources for history (although depends), high school level ones dont generally undergo scholarly peer review and are usually too simplified, gloss over complexity and can occasionally represent misleading and/or outdated ideas. This would most likely not be considered a high quality reliable source necessary for the FA criteria if considered reliable source at all.
  • Halili 2004 (ref 72, 76, 98), same problem as the one above. This one is an even more generalised than Duka 2008.
  • Lazo 2009 (ref 295, 299), same problem as above, this time in relation to polsci.  Comment: This seems to be a college textbook; the publisher, Rex Book Store, specializes in law books, so I am unsure if a better source is required.
  • McAmis 2002 (ref 45, 47) is published by a religious publishing house and the author appears to be a theologian. This too would not be considered a high quality reliable source if considered reliable source at all. Topics on religion need academic sourcing.  Used better sources
  • Rottman 2002 (ref 135) appears to be a popular history book being used to source a death estimate during WW2, much better sourcing can be found for this.
  • Ref 136, same issue as above and for the same material.
  • Rowthorn et al. 2006 (ref 255, 622, 736) is a travel guide being used to source facts on topics related to biodiversity, architecture, etc. There are much better sources available for these topics, once again needs peer reviewed academic works.  Used better sources
  • Sulit-Braganza 2005 (ref 238), another high school textbook, this time on earth science. Some of the material it is cited for is alongside peer reviewed work while for other material it is only cited alongside a primary source. Sourcing could be improved.  Comment: Not sure what to do here. The textbook cover page says it is a tertiary-level textbook; not a high school one.
  • Tofighian 2006 (ref 117, 680) is a dissertation which are not generally considered reliable unless it has gone through peer review and published in a reputable journal.
  • Zibart 2001 (ref 722, 723) is a generalised book on cuisine by someone who appears to be an enthusiast. I understand that the same standards for topics related to cuisine may not be easily applicable but any author should at least be widely considered to be an expert or an established critic (preferably specifically with regards to Philippine cuisine), which doesn't appear to be the case here.

Ministerial by-election[edit]


I've listed this article for peer review because I'd like to get this to FAC sometime soonish, within the next couple of months. Before then, however, it needs a deep copyediting cleanse, with consistency in act titles, terminology, linking, and most importantly making sure citations are in tip-top shape. I decided to go for a peer review rather than going directly to GOCE, however, to also receive feedback on the direction of the article and whether there was anything barring it from FA status other than copyediting and a few citations I still need to take care of. To this end I'll ping some relevant Brits @Sarastro1, HJ Mitchell, TrottieTrue, and Iridescent.

On a brief look at the lead though, the comparison with the United States reads a bit odd to me.

Horserice (talk) 02:38, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Kim Gu[edit]


Hi, I've listed this article because I'm a newbie and want to make sure my work has been worth it. I wanna get this page to featured-level quality eventually

Especially uncertain of:

  1. Formatting refs, especially those in other languages
  2. Quality of current refs, especially Monthly Chosun Ilbo refs. I think I need more peer reviewed print book sources, but they're usually unavailable as ebooks and unavailable for print in the US :(
  3. If copyright on current images looks fine

Minor confusion on:

  1. Level of detail so far
  2. If I should split any sections into separate articles

Some FYIs:

  1. Still WIP, missing 1945-1949 bio, expanding death/legacy section, also second pass on early life section
  2. I haven't gotten around to cleaning up ref info yet, but I do appreciate suggestions on how I should do it (or best of all, help doing it 🙌🏻)

Grateful for detailed feedback or help editing. I've already put around 1.5 months of time into it but feel like there's still months of effort left.

Comments from Z1720[edit]

I suggest bringing this article to WP:GAN before going for WP:FAC, as that process is a lot easier. Some comments after a quick skim:

  • Ensure that there is a citation at the end of every paragraph, minimum.
  • Bibliography section should be below the references.
  • Delete the selected quote section, it is not needed and can be transferred to Wikiquote
  • Personal life should be placed before death to keep the timeline.
  • Formatting of references is a little wonky, as you point out. WP:CS has information about this, and I highly recommend using the templates (as they contain the information that you need and will format everything for you.)
  • Images need to have a US public domain tag, in addition to the South Korean ones. See this link for more information] on which banner you should add to the images.
  • For splitting sections, typically for bios you don't need to split off, but if there is information about an event you might create a separate article for that event. This article should only document what this person has done and avoid extra information.

East Kirkton Quarry[edit]


This geological and paleontological site in Scotland was home to several notable extinct endemics (Westlothiana, Pulmonoscorpius, etc.) and has a peculiar set of geological qualities, with the development of freshwater limestone in a volcanic environment. It's a diverse and unique prehistoric ecosystem which is well-described in the scientific literature. I'm opening this peer review to determine whether I've done a good job in translating the scientific jargon into a digestible format, in the hopes of eventually getting the article to GA class.

Comments from Z1720[edit]

Comments after a quick skim:

  • "The prevailing view was that, despite rare fresh-water eurypterids, East Kirkton's fossil content was otherwise unremarkable." Needs a citation
  • "found throughout southern Scotland." Needs a citation
  • All notes in the charts should have citations, and probably the materials section. Another option is to add a column that gives the references for the row at the end.
  • Why are the plants charts green? This might make it more difficult for some of our readers to read the information. Suggest not changing the background colour unless there is a specific reason. See MOS:COLOUR for more information

I hope this helps. Z1720 (talk) 01:53, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you, this was helpful. I've added in the additional citations. As for the green color of the plant charts, that's a standard format for paleobiota lists. Fossil plant species rarely represent an entire organism, rather they correspond to a certain part of the plant (such as a specific leaf type, seed type, wood type, etc.). The paleobiota key at the top of the section uses green to distinguish these kinds of morphotaxa from more traditional taxa. Fanboyphilosopher (talk) 18:53, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]


Sinus tarsi syndrome[edit]


I've listed this article for peer review because I have been trying to improve it with the advice I was given, but now I would like to know what the next step is. I'm hoping to bring it up to good article status, as it's already pretty close with the B-class assessment.

Thanks, Pear 2.0 (say hi!) 14:01, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Pear 2.0 (/User:Pear12345678), I have a few general suggestions, but I'm happy to give more directed feedback if you'd like:
  1. I wasn't familiar with sinus tarsi syndrome; I skimmed some papers on it, and it looks like you've already got most of what's known about STS in this article (thumbs up!).
  2. The goal is for the reading audience to walk away with a clear image of mainstream thinking on the topic. Try to clarify the most important takeaway messages for a reader, e.g. Campbell's Operative Orthopedics has a little blurb on the disorder (access through ClinicalKey, let me know if you'd like me to send it) suggesting STS primarily follows a sprained ankle. The AAPSM page you cite claims it's 80% ankle sprains, 20% soft tissue pinching from severe pronation. If that's true, it's not exactly clear from our article. Perhaps you could highlight that by changing the Causes section from "STS is caused by: [list]", to something like "STS typically follows an inversion (rolling out) ankle sprain (70–80% of cases), though it may also be caused by damage to soft tissue from extreme pronation (20–30% of cases), and more rarely by [the rest of your list]." That thinking can be applied to other sections as well: what's the important takeaway, is that being communicated clearly.
  3. Could you give a sense of which treatments typically work? From my skim -- [1] suggests conservative treatment alone typically gets the job done. The Campbell's blurb suggests a cortisone injection often gives permanent relief, the Arshad review just says that O'Connor claimed conservative treatment rarely worked, and later that many studies don't report how often it worked (thanks scientists!). Several sources said removing the fatpad often gives permanent relief. Idk how you want to untangle that, but I trust your more-educated judgment over my skimming.
Otherwise I think it's in good shape! If I could make a more general comment, I'd say that working on articles on these poorly defined disorders is often hard and frustrating work. Basically our ability to write a decent article is limited by how little the medical folks have written about the disorder. If you're truly interested in STS, by all means, go crazy. But if you'd like an easier article-writing experience, maybe you could pick a joint problem that's slightly more common. If there's any way I can help, just let me know. Happy editing! Ajpolino (talk) 20:05, 19 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Ajpolino Thank you so so much! I agree that I didn't make the causes clear and I will go ahead and straighten them up!
Also, I will make it more clear which treatments work. For the record, conservative treatments are considered only partially effective, but what would you rather do, orthotics or have someone cut open your feet?
As for the article subject, I have sinus tarsi syndrome, due to the less common cause of pronation - my bones didn't come out aligned correctly - so it is very close to my heart lol. I understand your concern however, it's been difficult to find information, but I write about niche subjects all the time so I've come to like the challenge.

  • Lede should be expanded to be a summary of the whole article.
  • I would look for more sources to expand upon the article. Sources can be found at WP:LIBRARY, Google Scholar, Google Books, archive.org, DOAJ.org, or your local library system. Also see WP:MEDRS for medicine specific information about reliable sources.

  • What is the lead image? is it a ball or a microscope image? We need a caption.
  • "brevium" should probably be in quotes and not italic. brevium appears to be a redirect to Isotopes_of_protactinium#Protactinium-234m, so you could link it.
  • Unclear sentence: "Tantalum's heavier analogue was later found to be the transuranic element dubnium – which, however, does not react like tantalum, but like protactinium."
  • Dmitri Mendeleev's 1871 periodic table should be bigger so we can read Th and U.
  • Physical properties: there is a comparison, but no values given in the text. Most values are in the infobox, but not all. Please add the numeric values of properties to text. Especially since the infobox is mostly devoid of references, it is important to have text with references.
  • Please use chem2 and not chem template.
  • Poor English usage in "allows to improve" and "allowed to reconstruct"
  • How much is normally present in the human body?

Good Christian Fun[edit]


I've listed this article for peer review because I have run out of ideas for improving the article and I would like input from another editor. I think some of the prose is a little clunky and I would appreciate input on how to make the prose flow together in a more natural way. I'm also not sure if the final paragraph containing reception or praise for the show is good or not. Should the quotes be shortened or paraphrased? Are there general themes of praise or criticism throughout the sources that could be compared or contrasted?

Thanks, TipsyElephant (talk) 18:34, 23 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comments from Z1720[edit]

  • I suggest putting comments about the podcast in a "Reception" section.
  • Try to find more sources for the article using Google News, sources at WP:RS/P and WP:LIBRARY.

I hope this helps. Z1720 (talk) 02:37, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for your comments Z1720, this is the first peer review I've gone through. Unfortunately I think I've found most of the avilable sources, but I'll do a more thorough search to see if I missed anything. I think the current sources are at least enough to demonstrate notability. If I can't find more sources, would a small article like this ever be able to pass a GA review? Or does the article need more content to ever pass a review like that? I've added a section heading for the reception. Are there any obvious MOS guidelines that I've negelected to adhere to? Or any obvious mistakes I've made that I should correct? Do you have any other recommendations for improving the article? TipsyElephant (talk) 17:58, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm not sure if my original ping went through because I forgot to sign so I'll ping you again @Z1720:. If you just didn't have the time to respond there's no rush, and if you just didn't want to reply there's of course no obligation to. TipsyElephant (talk) 14:04, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@TipsyElephant: It's possible for short articles to pass GAN, but it is harder. I'm not sure that information about specific episodes (most of the last paragraph in Background) is necessary, as it causes the reader to wonder why these episodes are mentioned over others. Instead, I think there should be general statements about the categories of content the podcast covers (Christian pop media, TV shows, book series, etc.) and how they choose the topics they cover.

Meta-historical fall[edit]


I've listed this article for peer review because this article that I created has two requests for improvement tags at the top placed there by others, and I'm looking for third-party evaluations to see if any such problems remain. These two tags currently in place are:

  • This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (February 2023)
  • This article may lend undue weight to certain ideas, incidents, or controversies. (February 2023)

Of course, any other ideas for improvements would be much appreciated as well.

Thanks for any help! Jjhake (talk) 02:57, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Update: another editor removed the encyclopedic tone cleanup tag, so that the cleanup tag of "undue weight to certain ideas" is the concern remaining in place. Of course, all improvements with a peer review much appreciated. Jjhake (talk) 13:23, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Phoolan Devi[edit]


I am putting this article forward for peer review because I would like to propose it as a featured article. I would welcome any constructive comments and in particular I have some specific questions:

  • As regards names, it's hard to know what name to use after first mention, mainly for Phoolan Devi and Vikram Singh Mallah. Any guidance on that would be appreciated. This was discussed at GAR but not definitely resolved.
  • Should there be more detail on caste politics, and if so where?
  • Is her political career significant for anything in particular, since at least in English-language sources there is very little about it?

Thank you, @Z1720, it was very helpful. I think I've fixed all this. However:
  • "The deadliest indiscriminate weapons used during World War II were by far the atomic bombs". I think that what needs to be sourced here is the claim that Hiroshima and Nagasaki would qualify, based on contemporarly IHL standards, as indiscriminate attacks (that the bombs were and still are the deadliest weapon is WP:BLUESKY). I've now provided a couple of sources on this.
  • WP:BLUESKY is an essay and is just advice by individual editors. It has not been endorsed by the community. Z1720 (talk) 01:46, 28 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • "Websites need access dates". Do you mean the template:web cite? I've found a couple of missing "access-date" and fixed.

  • "Dyson 2018, p. 29" Same as above
  • "Wright 2009," Same as above.
  • Quotes are usually not necessary in the inline citations, as the reader can look up the source themselves to verify the information. Examples include refs 157, 158, 159
  • Per MOS:ALLCAPS, titles of works and publishers should not be in all caps in the references sections. Examples include refs 149, 151, 110.
  • Why is 137 a reliable source?
  • Most paragraphs in the article should have an inline citation at the end of the last sentence. Exceptions include the lede.
  • The Festivals section suffers from MOS:OVERSECTION and should be divided.
  • There are no citations in the Notable people section, which need to be included to verify that these people are part of the Sindhis group
  • Per WP:RS/P, Joshua Project is considered an unreliable source and should be removed from the article.
  • Notes need a citation at the end of each one.

Dunning–Kruger effect[edit]


This article failed the last GA review. The main flaws pointed out by the reviewer were that "the article misuses sources (violating WP:NOR) and engages in disputes rather than merely describing them (violating WP:NPOV)". I've made various changes to the article in an attempt to address these problems. I wanted to get some feedback before I renominate it, specifically on the following points. (1) Have these two problems been solved? (2) Are there other problems that should be addressed before a renomination?

I've been rewriting this article for the last couple of months in the hope of getting it to WP:FL level at some point in the future. Currently, no political timelines have yet been promoted to featured list status, and I'm hoping that, if this article is, it will set a precedent for others to follow. However, given that the list is on such a divisive subject, I thought it would be best for the article to go through the PR process before I nominate it. My main concerns are the level of detail (is it comprehensive without being indiscriminate?) and its bias (is it neutral, or does it have a recentism bias?), but I welcome any and all feedback.

List of Neon Genesis Evangelion characters[edit]


I greatly expanded this article a year ago now, almost entirely by translating it from the it.wiki equivalent I personally wrote. I would like to propose it as a candidate for FA status, but before a FAN it is certainly better to hear how it can be improved. Note: I am not a native English speaker, so any advice on prose, grammar, syntax or exposition is especially welcome. Thanks, TeenAngels1234 (talk) 10:52, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Conception:

  • There seems to be a clash between the Sadamoto concept art and the quote.
  • Remember to wikilink in the first paragraph of the body
  • Explain what is Nadia
  • Is there a translation to what does Kikakusho means?
  • I would move the image to the first mention of Sadamoto since he is the one made them.

Characters:

  • Since Shinji and others have their own articles, I would suggest trimming these sections
  • Remember to reference voices or change them to prose.
  • The one story characters from a single game or other project might not be needed here.
Reception
  • The quote from popularity seems kinda random and a bit of undue weight that could parahrased.
  • I would recommend giving each paragraph each own main topic to make them stand out. Maybe one paragraph could be a general approach, another could be Sadamoto's designs, another could be psycholgycal approach.

BTW, I am also having a peer review here for a movie that I'm sure you have seen its related articles. So I'd appreciate any related feedback. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 23:12, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
