Editor review is a process that allows users to have their behavior and contributions to Wikipedia evaluated by peers, who will provide constructive feedback on areas for improvement. Anybody may request a review, regardless of their tenure at Wikipedia.
While an editor may remove comments about them that appear to be off-topic or simply personal attacks, it is important to remember that the editor review process may produce comments that the editor may not like or personally agree with, and the editor being reviewed should make every attempt to use this collaborative process to communicate with others. Editors should not refactor comments they dislike. These should either be simply removed or discussed.
Administrators requesting a review of their administrative actions should see administrator review.
This page frequently gets backlogged, so requests may wait up to several weeks for a response. If you have fewer than 300 edits (or your last request was within the last 3 months), your request may be removed without notice.
Please consider reviewing another editor when you request a review.
If you would like to be reviewed, please follow the steps below:
Create a subpage using the box below, replacing USERNAME with your username. Please make sure there is no space after your username, as this makes it hard for reviewers to reach your request.
Do not save the page yet! Follow the instructions in the box above the request page. Please remember to fill in the requested fields.
Optional, but highly recommended: You may put the {{Editor review}} template or the {{Editor review sticker}} template on your user page to advertise the review page.
Optional: It is possible to add a userbox onto your User page (after the review is finished) by placing {{User Editor review}} at your user box section on your User page. Instructions on how to use templates may be found here.
Optional: As only admins can see your deleted contributions, these admins have volunteered to perform editor reviews focussing on deleted contributions (this will probably be of most interest to newpage patrollers)
Optional, but highly recommended: There is a large backlog at Editor Review, so take some time to review some of your fellow Wikipedians.
The editor review process was shut down in June 2014. Making a request is no longer possible.
Instructions for reviewers
Reviewers and reviewees should adhere to Wikipedia's behavioral policies at all times.
When reviewing, consider these points
User conduct – informative edit summaries, constructive comments on talk page, attitude toward others, etc.
Number and types of edits – is the editor making positive contributions to the encyclopedia?
Users with an asterisk next to their name in the subheader have not been reviewed yet. Users may still need more reviews even if they do not have an asterisk. Also, the older backlogged requests have priority for reviews, because users who have had their requests sitting there for a while often feel like they've been ignored, and every user deserves at least a few positive words on their progress or some constructive criticism if they request it.
Please remember to remove the asterisk when you leave a review for an editor.
When you have finished reviewing, consider notifying the user with the {{ER done}} template. Please substitute this template.
Archives
Sections with at least one review will be archived at 2010, 2011, 2012 or 2013 archive thirty days after they have been created. If you are searching for an archive from before 2010, it will be in the 2006–2009 archive.
