[edit] How to review an article
The process for reviewing an article is:
- Check that you have logged in; anons may not review articles.
- Choose an article to review, noting:
- You cannot choose an article if you have made significant contributions to it.
- Nominations near the top of the lists are oldest, and should be given higher priority.
- Paste #:{{GAReview}} ~~~~ below the entry to avoid multiple reviews on the same article.
- Check "Quick-failed criteria" before reading the whole article and then go to next step if it passes. If not just write your reason in the talk page and go to fail process.
- Read the whole article, and decide whether it should pass or fail based on the criteria listed here.
- Optionally inform the nominator about the decision (see {{GANotice}} for a placeholder)
Review carefully—See Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles for more suggestions.
If you feel the article meets the 'Good Article' criteria:
- Remove it from the list using the edit summary "Passed [[Article Name]]"
- Replace {{GAnominee}} with
{{GA|oldid=nnnnnn}} on the article's talk page. To indicate the reviewed version of a Good Article, replace nnnnn with the id number of the reviewed version. This number may be found in the URL of the archived version.
- Leave a comment about your reasons for passing the article (with suggestions to improve the article, if you can).
- List the article on Wikipedia:Good articles under the appropriate section and update the article count at the end of the section, as well as the beginning of the page, in the section: Currently, 1,813...etc Consider listing it in the infobox at the top of the page under "Recently listed good articles."
If you feel the article does not meet the 'Good Article' criteria:
- Remove it from the list using the edit summary "Failed [[Article Name]]"
- Replace {{GAnominee}} with {{FailedGA|2008-06-08}} on its talk page.
- State which criteria it failed to meet on the article's talk page. The template {{FGAN}} may help you organize the critique. You can also use {{GAList}} to generate a checklist. Please be fairly specific as to the article's flaws, so that the editors are better able to correct and improve the article for another potential GA nomination.
- If your sole criterion for rejecting the article was a lack of appropriate references, please add the article to the Unreferenced GA Nominations list.
[edit] On Hold
You may put an article On Hold for a period of time if only minor changes or clarifications are needed; if changes are not being worked on, the article should eventually be failed. To put an article on hold, copy and paste the following below the nomination entry:
- #:{{GAOnHold|Article}} ~~~~
Also, on the talk page of the article, replace:
- {{GAnominee}}
with
- {{GAonhold|2008-06-08}}
Don't forget to specify on the talkpage what needs to be done, using {{GAList}} or plain text of your choosing.
