Incorrect closure[edit]

Wikipedia:Peer review/Campbell's Soup Cans/archive2 got closed without review.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:42, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See See WP:PRG#Step 4: Closing a review, which includes "If a request is unanswered for more than one month", so the closeure was not exactly "incorrect". I"m not sure that reopening to sit there will help much, if it didn't attract attention for 6 months. You may be better off calling in favors, posting on WikiProject pages, etc. Aza24 (talk) 18:28, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've just removed a criterion from § Step 4: Closing a review which previously read "If a request is unanswered for more than one month." Because of how understaffed the peer review process tends to be, I regularly find that reviews can go unnoticed for months before an interested editor comes along and provides comments. I don't think it's a net positive to summarily throw out month-old requests and tell the nominator, in essence, that they're out of luck. Feel free to revert me if you disagree with the change and we can discuss it further if necessary. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:48, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should old discussions that were closed under that criterion be reopened? (e.g. Arena Corinthians) ~Bluecrystal004 (talk · contribs) 20:38, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Probably not, as those discussions were closed validly at the time. It would be easier to have the nominators simply open a new review page if they're still interested in comments. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:41, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add "nomination at FAC/FLC/GAN" to notes in Step 1[edit]

In the PR instructions, Step 4, it states that a PR can be closed if the article is nominated for good article, featured article or featured list status. When answering PRs, I came across a situation where an article was first nominated at GAN, then nominated at PR. I would like to add the following text to the "Please note:" section of Step 1:
