Fossil Wiki:Peer-review nominations

  Featured articles on the Fossil Wiki



The current Peer-reviewing director, Meghunter99, determines the timing of the process for each nomination on a case by case basis &mdash; this will normally range from five days at the minimum, depending on the activity of the peer-review in question, though that is only a guideline in some cases. For a nomination to be promoted to Peer-reviewed status, consensus must be reached that it meets the criteria. Consensus is built among reviewers and nominators; the director determines whether there is consensus. A nomination will be removed from the list and archived if, in the judgement of the director or his delegate:


 * actionable objections have not been resolved;
 * insufficient information has been provided by reviewers to judge whether the criteria have been met.

An article must be peer-reviewed only by a member who has volunteered and is familiar with the subject matter. (ie. a person who specializes in trilobites may not be the best person to peer-review an article on aetosaurs.
