The peer review department of the Maritime Trades WikiProject conducts peer review of articles on request. The primary objective is to encourage better articles by having contributors who may not have worked on articles to examine them and provide ideas for further improvement.

The peer review process is highly flexible and can deal with articles of any quality; however, requesting reviews on very short articles may not be productive, as there is little for readers to comment on. All reviews are conducted by fellow editors—usually members of the Maritime Trades WikiProject.

[edit] Instructions

[edit] Requesting a review

  1. Add peer-review=yes to the {{WikiProject Maritime Trades}} 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 "currently" 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 Maritime Trades/Peer review/Name of nominated article}} at the top of the list of requests on this page.

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

  1. Move the existing peer review subpage (Wikipedia:WikiProject Maritime Trades/Peer review/Name of nominated article) to an archive (Wikipedia:WikiProject Rugby unionPeer review/Name of nominated article/Archive 1).
  2. Follow the instructions for making a request above (editing the primary page, 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 here.").

[edit] Responding to a request

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

[edit] Archiving

Reviews should be archived after they have been inactive for four weeks, 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 Maritime Trades}} project banner template at the top of the article's talk page
  2. Move {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Maritime Trades/Peer review/Name of nominated article}} from this page to the current archive page.

[edit] Bulk carrier

This article is largely a translation of the French FA fr:Vraquier. After translating it, Korrigan and I got some great feedback which I think we've addressed, adding 100+ footnotes, turning a number of lists into prose, and so forth. I think its time for some more feedback. Also, this is my first attempted foray above B-class, so any advice on the procedure would be appreciated. HausTalk 18:25, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

  • It's very good, but why is Panamax illustrated with a Handymax ship? There's plenty of images of Panamaxes on Commons. Laïka 15:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the feedback! You may be right, but let's see if the reasoning makes sense: it's a Handymax going through the Panama Canal. The thinking was that it illustrates the Panama Canal size constraints very clearly. Now if we had a Panamax bulker going through the Canal, that'd be the perfect picture, but we can't seem to put our hands on one. In any case, if the reasoning seems shaky, I'll happily replace the picture. Cheers. HausTalk 19:54, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
      • This image appears to show a Panamax passing through a lock fairly clearly, but I understand your reasoning. Other than that, the article looks pretty good, but something about the "A typical bulker offload" section doesn't quite sit right; I think it may look better if the process were simply described with prose and then illustrated just by the clearest couple of images (say, Image:Velox cargo ship unloading rapeseed.jpg and Image:Grab unloaded into hopper.jpg).

        • I'd guess that you're right -- the ship does appear to be Panamax size, but it's a Roll-on/roll-off, not a bulk carrier. There's a big ramp structure on the stern that flips down, allowing vehicular cargo to be driven on and off the ship. On the second item, I think you're absolutely right. I'll try to streamline the offload section tomorrow. Thanks again! HausTalk 00:03, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
