The Review department of the History WikiProject is the project's main forum for conducting detailed reviews of particular articles within its scope.
The department hosts three forms of review internal to the project:
- Peer reviews are informal reviews carried out on articles within our scope, designed to provide ideas for improvement and expansion.
- A-Class reviews are formal reviews required for an article to recieve A-Class status on quality scale.
The department is also resposible for reviews external to the project:
- It nominates articles for and promotes them to good article status
- It nominates articles for featured article status

A-Class review
The A-Class rating of the quality scale may only be assigned after a review by the project
A-Class articles are expected to largely meet the featured article criteria, and must be comprehensive, accurate, well-sourced, and decently-written.
Once an article is nominated, the discussion will last 7 days. Old nominations can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject History/Review/A-Class review/A-Class archive
How to nominate
To nominate an article within our scope for A-Class status simply replace PAGENAME in the box below with the name of the article (Place 2 or a higher number after the name for each consectutive nomination) and click Nominate. Adjust the page that appears accordingly and transclude the page into the "Current nominations" section, below, using {{Wikipedia:WikiProject History/Review/A-Class review/PAGENAME}}, replacing pagename accordingly.
Finally, add A-Class=current to the project banner on the article talk page
Current nominations
Peer review
The Peer review process is designed to provide ideas for improvement and expansion of articles within our scope by subjecting them to closer scrutiny from a broader group of editors
Once an article is nominated, it will remain on the list untill the nominator feels he/she has gained enough feedback. Old nominations can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject History/Review/Peer review/Peer review archive
How to request
To add a nomination:
- Add
{{subst:PR}}to the top of the article's talk page and save it, creating a peer review notice to notify other editors of the review. - Within the notice, click where instructed to open a new peer review discussion page. If there is no such link in the notice, see this.
- Complete the new page as instructed. Remember to note the kind of comments/contributions you want, and/or the sections of the article you think need reviewing. Add "history" to the topic parameter like so: {{Peer review page|topic=history}}.
- Save the page with the four tildes (
~~~~) at the end of your request to sign it. Your peer review will be listed automatically on this page within an hour. - Consult the volunteers list for assistance. An excellent way to get reviews is to review a few other requests without responses and ask for reviews in return.

Treaty of Butre (1656)
This article deals with a rare and special treaty between the African state of Ahanta and the Netherlands, dating from 1656. In it a form of protection is established which would last for almost 213 years.
The article is brief but succinct, with all the necessary information and a link to the full text of the treaty on Wikisource. It is my belief that the article is already at GA-level, or very close to it, and deserves a serious assessment and commentary eventually leading it towards that status. Also, the layout of the article could well serve as a model for other short bilateral treaties in Wikipedia, so also look at it with that in mind. Michel Doortmont (talk) 19:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

- This is an informative article, however I felt that it should have a few more pictures to break up the large section of text in the middle of the article, and to make it more appealing to readers. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 16:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
