Wikipedia's portal peer review process exposes portals to closer scrutiny from a broader group of editors, and is intended for high-quality portals that have already undergone extensive work, often as a way of preparing a featured portal candidate. This is not academic peer review by a group of experts in a particular subject, and portals that undergo this process should not be assumed to have greater authority than any other.
For feedback on portals that are less developed, use the portal's talk page first.
At present, there are 1featured portals, of a total of 1455 portals on Wikipedia.
Anyone can request a portal peer review. The best way to get lots of reviews is to reply promptly and appreciatively on this page to any comments. If you post a request, please do not discourage reviewers by ignoring their efforts. To add a nomination:
Place {{subst:PPR}} at the top of the portal's talk page, creating a portal peer review notice to notify other editors of the review.
Within the notice, click "request has been made" to open a new discussion page.
Paste {{subst:PPRnom|portal name= |text= }} at the top, with the name of the portal in the "portal name" parameter, and then note the kind of comments/contributions you want, and/or the sections of the portal you think need reviewing in the "text" parameter. Signature is automatically appended. Save the new page.
Edit this page here, pasting {{Wikipedia:Portal peer review/PORTAL NAME/archive1}} at the top of the list of nominees.
Optional steps:
Start a new section on the portal's talk page using ==Portal peer review==
Paste {{Wikipedia:Portal peer review/PORTAL NAME}} into that section.
Add {{todo}} at the top of the portal's talk page, then save the page.
Edit and paste the following into the to do list. Summarize recommendations and replies as they occur:

List includes recommendations with replies/status.

Your review may be more successful if you politely request feedback on the discussion pages of related articles, portals, and/or send messages to Wikipedians who have contributed to the same or a related field, including the list of portal peer review volunteers.
