If you have worked to bring an article into good shape and want feedback on further improvements, you can request a [[WP:PR|peer review]].
The LGBTQ+ WikiProject [[WP:PR|peer reviews]] articles on request. This is to encourage better articles by having other contributors provide ideas for improvement. The process is highly flexible and can deal with articles of any quality. This process is not an academic peer review by a group of experts in a particular subject, and articles that undergo this process should not be assumed to have greater authority than any other.

This page has tools for finding, assessing, and improving articles within the scope of WP:LGBTQ+.


Working with new articles

[edit]

Creating articles

[edit]

Creating an article requires research to determine if there is significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources. See WP:Notability, including the general notability guideline, for more information. The WP:Articles for creation process is recommended for editors new to article creation.

There are several possible sources for new article subjects.

Project-tagging

[edit]

Newly created articles that deal with LGBTQ+ topics should have the WP:LGBTQ+ project banner added to the talk page. If you are unsure whether an article should be added to the project, raise it for discussion at WT:LGBTQ+.

Improving navigation

[edit]

There are several ways to make it easier for readers to find new articles.

  • New articles should be placed in appropriate LGBTQ categories, to group related topics together. See WP:CAT for more. WP:BLPCAT and WP:EGRS provide important guidance on categorizing articles about people.
  • Navigational templates for LGBTQ topics can be added to articles, creating links between all articles with the template.
  • New and expanded articles can be submitted to WP:Did you know, and if selected will be featured on the Main Page.

Assessing articles

[edit]

Assessing article quality helps WP:LGBTQ+ members to recognize excellent contributions and identify topics in need of further work. They also play a role in the WP:1.0 program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process.

Improving articles

[edit]

There are several ways to find articles for improvement.

If you have worked to bring an article into good shape and want feedback on further improvements, you can request a peer review.

Watching articles

[edit]

You can help maintain the quality of LGBTQ+ content on Wikipedia by reviewing recent edits and joining active discussions.
