Wikipedia's peer review process is a feature where an editor can receive feedback from others on how to improve an article they are working on, or receive advice about a specific issue queried by the editor. The process helps users find ways for improvement that they themselves didn't pick up on. Compared to the real-world peer review process, where experts themselves take part in reviewing the work of another, the majority of the volunteers here, like most editors in Wikipedia, lack expertise in the subject at hand. This is a good thing—it can make technically worded articles more accessible to the average reader. Those looking for expert input should consider contacting editors on the volunteers list, or contacting a relevant WikiProject.
To request a review, see the instructions page. Nominators are limited to one review at a time, and are encouraged to help reduce the backlog by commenting on other reviews. Any editor may comment on a review, and there is no requirement that any comment be acted on. Editors and nominators may both edit articles during the discussion.
A list of all current peer reviews, with reviewers' comments included, can be found here. For easier navigation, a list of peer reviews, without the reviews themselves included, can be found here. A chronological peer reviews list can be found here.
I've listed this article for peer review because the citations need some clean up, mainly the usage of Chinese (non-English) sources such as 时光网 (Mtime) and other incomplete citation template usage. Usage of primary sources (Netflix's Facebook, the film's Netflix page, www.wetaworkshop.com) and semi-reliable sources (www.xinhuanet.com) may be better avoided as well.
I've listed this article for peer review because I want to prepare it for FA status. Prior to 2021, the Wikipedia coverage of Degrassi was not good. A lot of the articles either had a lot of cruft, were never edited to reflect more recent developments, or were poorly sourced. I've been steadily improving and expanding existing articles and making new well-sourced articles to do with the franchise after extensively researching and exhausting all the research databases, purchasing books, etc. For instance, I was able to unearth how important and popular the Degrassi series pre-Next Generation actually were, compare this 2020 version of Degrassi Junior High to the current version.
I think it'd be really neat to have this get featured status especially with the increased attention Degrassi has been getting due to the news of the reboot!

I've listed this article for peer review because I wish to get promoted to featured article status, and indeed for the article to appear on the main page - again (it has been a DYK? and is currently a GA). I admit that I do like the idea of an article entitled "Boris Johnson Is a Fucking Cunt" to appear on Wikipedia's main page.

[...]“Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science-fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network's nighttime programming block Adult Swim.”[...] I think you can remove the part about Cartoon Network and just say Adult Swim.
I suggest removing the sentence about it being distributed by Warner Bros, because it is mentioned in the infobox.
In the third paragraph of the lead, I’m a bit confused on what it means by “originality”. What exactly in this context is “original”? Is it the humor/settings/characters/etc?
I think Screen Rant is kind of a poor citation in the premise section. Since the premise does not necessarily need citations, my preference would be just to remove it.
Development, Writing, and Animation sections are acceptable for GA I think.
Philosophy : [...] Rick and Morty has been described as "a never-ending fart joke wrapped around a studied look into nihilism"[...] You should mention the author here.
Just a little nitpick, but some of the citations could have wikilinks to the articles of their parent outlets, such as Vice Media for VICE citations. Not strictly necessary, but a little helpful.
[...]“Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die. Come watch TV. —Morty”[...] This quote is uncited. It could be removed through, since the previous sentence basically explains the point that the quote helps convey.
I suggest you read WP:RECEPTION and take note of some of the tips there. Since this is a very popular show, I think that the reception section can be expanded.
There is a lot of stuff in the other media section that is listed by bullet points. Perhaps this stuff can be merged into paragraphs or split into its own list article?

I've listed this article for peer review because I hope to bring it up to Featured Article candidacy. Most of the sources have been taken from the reliable sources engine at WP:VG, so I think the article primarily needs help with the prose.

Fix the referencing. The proper way to disambiguate short-form referencing is to disambiguate the date, not the author so stuff like:
{{cite web |last = Berry (1) |first = Sterling |year = 2021 and {{sfnp|Berry (1)|2021}}
should be:
{{cite web |last=Berry |first=Sterling |date=2021a and {{sfnp|Berry|2021a}}
The reason for this is that {{cite web}}, and all of the other cs1|2 templates, are designed to support date disambiguation but not author-name disambiguation.
When I look at that Berry (1) source, the date 2021 is nowhere mentioned in that source. This seems to be common to web sources cited in this article. The proper 'date' to use is the publication date of the source if one is provided. For Berry, some sort of date is required – except 2 which isn't used in the article – but since none are available from the source and to support disambiguation, do this: |date=n.d.a, |date=n.d.c, etc. and {{sfnp|Berry|n.d.a}}, {{sfnp|Berry|n.d.c}}, etc.
Another common issue is |author= used to hold a name that isn't an author. Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library and Bowling Green State University are websites so:
delete |author=... and change |publisher=[[Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library]] to |website=[[Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library]] (same for Bowling green...)
For cites like Maritime History of the Great Lakes:
{{cite web |author = Maritime History of the Great Lakes |year = 1890 |title = Cayuga (Propeller), aground, 9 Apr 1890 |url = https://images.maritimehistoryofthegreatlakes.ca/59985/data?n=487 |access-date = August 1, 2021 |publisher = Maritime History of the Great Lakes |location = Ontario, Canada }}
Maritime History of the Great Lakes (1890). "Cayuga (Propeller), aground, 9 Apr 1890". Ontario, Canada: Maritime History of the Great Lakes. Retrieved August 1, 2021.
it is probably best to rewrite to something like this:
{{cite news |date=April 10, 1890 |title=A Steamer Ashore |newspaper=Buffalo Evening News |url=https://images.maritimehistoryofthegreatlakes.ca/59985/data?n=487 |access-date=August 1, 2021 |via=Maritime History of the Great Lakes |ref={{sfnref|''Buffalo Evening News''|1890}}}}
"A Steamer Ashore". Buffalo Evening News. April 10, 1890. Retrieved August 1, 2021 – via Maritime History of the Great Lakes.
with an accompanying short-form reference like this: {{sfnp|''Buffalo Evening News''|1890}} → Buffalo Evening News (1890) harvp error: no target: CITEREFBuffalo_Evening_News1890 (help)
(both with date disambiguation as needed)
No doubt there are other problems but this is a start...
I started this article on a former British swimmer/diver not long ago and have expanded it to the point that I feel it's close to being taken to GA.

Hi! I've listed this article for peer review to get an assessment on what I need to add to or improve in the article so that it encapsulates and discusses the history and relevance of cycling in the country.

@BennyOnTheLoose: Keeping in mind that I've only been through the FA process once, I do have a few comments about possible improvements: (1) I've been told that source reliability tends to be intensely scrutinized in FA reviews, and I note that one of the sources used in this article, Daily Mirror, appears on the Wikipedia list of perennial sources as a tabloid source that has been questioned or repeatedly discussed in terms of reliability (with no consensus). It might be wise to reduce or eliminate use of the Daily Mirror. (2) While the early career section provides javelin distance result conversion (metres to feet), later career paragraphs give results in metres only. I think you should aim for consistency in this throughout the article. (3) MOS recommends photos be placed on the righthand side of articles for easier reading. (4) Alt text for photos could be improved -- the infobox photo has no alt text, and existing alt text for the Sanderson and Felke photos should be more clearly descriptive. For example, instead of "A headshot of Tessa Anderson," you could write something like "A brown-skinned woman with straight black hair, wearing a white headband and a gold hoop earring, looks off to one side." I just checked out the MOS guidelines for this, and was surprised to find that they don't seem to put much value on communicating specific visual details about the image. I attended a professional workshop on alt text earlier this year, and we were told that the best alt text, while not being too lengthy (1-3 concise sentences), should still communicate the key visual details of the image in order to give users with screen readers a full, equitable reading experience.

I have done a major overhaul of this page over the last few months and I went ahead and put it up for GA review. I didn't really think about the PR process until just now (doh...), but since the GA review backlog is probably still a few weeks long, I wanted to go ahead and see if anyone would be able to take another look at it. Copy editing and editing for flow, making sure they layout is up to spec, that statements are under the correct headings, and help with finding any information on this county regarding its history from 1930 to 1990. I've looked at this too much to be able to reliably find problems anymore!

I've listed this article on the central Dublin postal district for peer review because of differing opinions over its noteworthiness. I am of the opinion that it is noteworthy.
Comment:BaronNethercross, indeed I certainly consider Dublin 2 as a postal district quite noteworthy because for about 100 years the main post office in Dublin, in fact in Ireland, was located in this area before moving to Dublin 1 when the GPO was completed. I try to write a, well sourced, paragraph or two on this aspect because I have some specialised sources here in my library. ww2censor (talk) 17:16, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As a drive-by comment, you need to massively reduce the number of duplicated links on the article.

I've listed this article for peer review because I've done a major rewrite but I feel it still needs more work. I don't like the way the history section flows and I am generally struggling with the description section due to lack of source material. I look forward to any suggestions!
The lead should generally summarize the rest of the article as per WP:LEAD. The fact about 400 remaining Ryukyu should be moved to History, and the lead should have one or two paragraphs that briefly touch on the facts in each section.
The second paragraph reads as WP:HOWEVER. It sets up a fact and then argues that the fact is not true, which should be avoided. This should be rewritten so that it consists of only verifiable information and is written in a cohesive manner.
Appearance section needs to be rewritten as WP:PROSE.
Inbreeding does not needs its own subsection if it's only one paragraph. It can just be part of the Health section.
Style and grammar
bay Ryukyu wild boar in packs, and also rarely hunt birds. – This should be rewritten. It reads awkwardly and the comma is unnecessary for a dependent clause.
felt a strong urge to save the breed when he managed to find purebred Ryukyu dogs up in Yanbaru – Keep it simple. For example, a simpler phrasing would be "wished to save the breed when he found purebred Ryukyu dogs in Yanbaru". Phrases such as "felt a strong urge to", "manged to find", and "up in" don't add anything to the article. And of course, this also needs a citation to determine whether it's actually true.
Because of this claw, they can climb trees. – This reads awkwardly. Maybe combine it with the previous sentence so that it reads "a dewclaw on the back of the foot that allows them to climb trees" or something to that effect.
The inline citations under Appearance are currently listed as [6][2][7]. These should be in numerical order. This occurs again in the section Ryukyu Inu Hozonkai, where they display as [9][4], which also have an extra space between them and the end punctuation.
The Ryukyu dog is described as a quiet dog – Described by whom?
They are agile, brave and not sensitive. They are natural hunters and have a high prey drive. – These should be better integrated. Right now they seem like trivia or personal opinion. Maybe the first sentence of this paragraph could start with "The Ryukyu dog is a hunting dog". "They are agile, brave and not sensitive" should probably be removed.
They can be escape artists – Avoid this sort of imagery.
While they are the same breed of dog, there are subtle difference between the two lines. – The sentence switches between singular and plural, but it can probably be removed entirely, as a distinction has already been established in the previous sentence.
the only establishment that recognises the Ryukyu dog thus far – "thus far" is ambiguous. Avoid language that implies relative time as per MOS:REALTIME.
due to the culture of breeding dogs in Japan and Okinawa – What makes this culture of breeding dogs distinct?
the Ryukyu dog Hozonkai have begun registering dogs "on merit" if they meet the breed standard and still continue to do this – MOS:REALTIME. This sentence should probably be rewritten.
Kai (海) is a very well-known Ryukyu Ken in Okinawa – "very well-known" is unnecessary.
Ume (ウメ) was a very light red brindle, almost fawn-coloured Ryukyu, – This imagery is unnecessary. "was a light red brindle Ryukyu" is more to the point.
Ume passed away – Avoid euphemisms as per MOS:EUPHEMISM. "Died" is perfectly acceptable.
References
About half of the sources appear to be from a blog. Blogs should be avoided as sources per WP:SPS.
Bare links should be formatted properly as sources. It appears that two sources are bare links, and both are now dead links.
Overall, most of the information in the article is not sourced.
I've listed this article for peer review because It is a very important model in the literature, it reproduces the behavior of neurons and it is widely used in scientific research.

Hi there! I'm requesting a second peer review of this article after a year since the last review. I've fixed many issues in the article; references are improved, many Manual of Style issues are fixed, and the article is much cleaner overall. However, I'd still like some extra eyes to look at the article before a GAN. I don't have anything in particular this time - just a general sweep would be nice! Thanks, 🐶 EpicPupper(he/him | talk) 02:35, 19 February 2022 (UTC) (formerly known as DoggieTimesTwo)Reply[reply]
@EpicPupper: I've no idea of the topic so I can only give some very general feedback but I'll go ahead anyways since this article is already waiting for more than 6 months for a peer review. Ideally, before starting a peer review, all the maintenance tags should be addressed, like the "Unreferenced" template in the subsection "Current population" or the "Citation needed" templates in the subsections "Canadian prairies" and "Schism". This is probably not your fault since they are dated May 2022 and presumably were added after the peer review request. In any case, they should be fixed. Most paragraphs have sources but there are still a few paragraphs without sources that are not marked by maintenance tags. The article has many pictures which seem relevant to the topics discussed. In the subsection "Canadian prairies", the names of the areas should not be in bold font.
Some smaller linguistic issues:
The archbishop's intent was to mock the Doukhobors as heretics fighting against the Holy Spirit (Russian: Святой Дух, Svyatoy Dukh) but round the beginning of the 19th century, according to SA Inikova,[14]) the dissenters adopted the name "Doukhobors" usually in a shorter form Doukhobory (Russian: духоборы, dukhobory), implying they are fighting alongside rather than against the Holy Spirit.
"round" sounds colloquial, "around" is probably better
Later, other groups of Doukhobors were resettled by the government or migrating to Transcaucasia of their own accord.
"migrated" instead of "migrating"
While the Small Party cooperated with the state, the Large Party, reacting to arrest of their leaders and inspired by their letters from exile, felt strengthened in their desire to abide by the righteousness of their faith.
it should be "reacting to the arrest"
The text seems to jump between English variants: for example "neighboring" and "plow" are American English while "travelled" and "defence" are British English.
I would suggest that these issues are fixed first and maybe later someone more knowledgeable on the subject could give some feedback on the contents themselves. I don't have much experience with GA nominations but I have the impression that there still is some work to be done before that, at the very least by addressing the maintenance tags and the linguistic issues mentioned.

I've listed this article for peer review because the article needs to be thoroughly checked/edited for paragraph cohesiveness, sentence flow, tone, and possible grammatical errors.
The article has been listed for peer review as there has not been much interaction by other users and due to the controversial nature of the article's topic. Assistance is also needed with any issues regarding neutrality and WP:BLP, as edits should not be made in a damaging manner.
Lede section is too short for an article of this length.
The Incident section borders on having an excessive amount of intricate detail. Not sure all the dialogue is needed. Should be trimmed to fit summary style.
Response section possibly contains undue weight (police subsection for example) and could potentially be reorganized (Grand Rapids Association of Pastors is part of the public response, no?).
I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to get it to FL status and would like to make sure it's gravy before submitting it for that process. I've done a few now but fresh eyes never hurt :)
