Wikipedia:Requests for feedback/How to answer
To respond to a request for feedback
[edit]Requests for feedback is currently in beta. We currently need more Wikipedians to respond to requests. If you are familiar with process and friendly to newcomers, please consider watching Requests for feedback, and regularly responding to requests posted here. When responding to requests, please bear the following in mind:
- Users requesting feedback here are likely to be newcomers, so please do not bite the newcomers and be civil. Refrain from using Wikipedia jargon without an explanation or a link, and provide links to policy/guideline/style pages where relevant.
- Please give constructive feedback that will help the user improve the article and their editing skills. Feedback such as "nice article" is not helpful. Point out any issues with the article that need to be addressed, but also mention what the editor has done well. An example of good feedback would be "Your article is well-structured, and I'm impressed with your use of images. Well done! However, some statements in the article are biased. Please remember that all articles must be written from a neutral point of view. Here are some tips to help you write unbiased articles."
