Wikipedia:Requests for feedback/Introduction
Since many people seem to be confusing this page with the help desk and/or the New contributors' help page, I propose the changing of the introduction (the header) of the Requests for feedback page to make it clearer.
Please feel free to comment/change the text.
Welcome to the Requests for feedback page. If you have written a new article, or made a major edit to an existing one, you can get feedback on your article or edit here, which you can use to improve the article.
For other questions[edit]
This is not a general help page. For questions that are not directly related to edits you have made, please refer to the following pages:
- New editors can ask general questions about editing and finding their way around Wikipedia at the New contributors' help page.
- For knowledge questions, ask at the Reference desk.
- See Where to ask a question for a list of other ways you can ask questions.
For other feedback[edit]
Requests for feedback is meant for non-controversial articles that are still far from featured status.
- If there is a dispute regarding the content of an article, first talk to the other users concerned on the talk page. Failing that, use the dispute resolution process.
- For established articles that may be improved to featured status, use Peer review.
- To request that an article be expanded, try Requests for expansion.
Instructions[edit]
- If you have posted a new article, post a link to your new article, a brief description of the topic (e.g. "GTalkr is a web-based Flash program used to connect to Google Talk"), and state any areas you wish to get feedback on (e.g. "is this NPOV enough?").
- If you have made a major edit to an existing, established article, please include a link to the page showing the differences between your revision and the previous one (the "diff", available from the history page) (e.g. [1]), so we will be able to identify your edit. You should include a brief description of your edit and any areas you wish to get feedback on.
