Instructions

Requesting a review

1. Add peer-review=yes to the {{WikiProject Years}} project banner at the top of the article's talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax).
2. From there, click on the "request has been made" link that appears in the template. This will open a page to discuss the review of your article.
3. Place === [[Name of nominated article]] === at the top.
4. Below it, write your reason for nominating the article and sign by using four tildes (~~~~).
5. Add {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Years/Peer review/Name of nominated article}} at the top of the list of peer review requests below.

If an article is listed for a second (or third, and so forth) peer review:

1. Move (do not copy) the existing peer review subpage {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Years/Peer review/Name of nominated article}} to an archive {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Years/Peer review/Name of nominated article/Archive 1}}.
2. Follow the instructions for making a request above: editing {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Years/Peer review/Name of nominated article}}, which will be a redirect to the archive, into a new request page.
3. Be sure to provide a prominent link to the last archive at the top of the request: e.g. "Prior peer review {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Years/Peer review/Name of nominated article/Archive 1|here}}".

Commenting

Everyone is encouraged to comment on any request listed here. To comment on an article, please add a new section (using ==== Your user name ====) for your comments, in order to keep multiple responses legible.

Archiving

Reviews should be archived after they have been inactive for some time, or when the article is nominated as a featured article candidate. To archive a review:

1. Replace peer-review=yes with old-peer-review=yes in the {{WikiProject Years}} project banner template at the top of the article's talk page
2. Move {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Years/Peer review/Name of nominated article}} from this page to the current peer review archive page.
