Memory Alpha

The peer review process on Memory Alpha is a way to further improve already good articles, for example as a last step before nominating an article as a Featured article candidate. All contributors are invited to participate in this process.

A list of articles currently being peer reviewed can be found here: Category:Memory Alpha peer review

An archive of previously reviewed articles can be found here: Memory Alpha:Peer review/archive

Requesting peer review

To request peer review for any article, follow these steps:

  1. Place the template {{peerreview}} on top of the talk page of that article.
  2. Click on the "comments" link that appears (it will be red).
  3. Add ===[[Name of article]]=== (do not forget the brackets) at the top, and below that, give a brief description of what kind of feedback you are looking for.
  4. On this page, under the section that says "Current Peer Reviews", add the following to the top of the list: {{Talk:Name of article/peerreview}}.

While everyone is still invited to improve the article, requesting peer review first and foremost means that you are willing to actively participate in the process by responding to and resolving issues brought up on the discussion page.

Do not request peer review if the article still has obvious flaws. In that case, consider using one of the Pages needing attention procedures instead. Also do not request peer review if you don't plan to play an active role in the process.

Removing requests

To avoid having too many processes at a time, inactive peer review discussions are archived by changing the template to {{oldpeerreview}}, which should stay on the articles' talk page. You may change this template back if you want to continue the peer review at a later point. A peer review is considered inactive if there have been no new comments in the last seven days.

Note: Please note that new comments do not show up until either someone modifies this page or the cache is purged. When you visit this page to add a comment, please, click here to purge the page cache.
