About reviewing
The review queues contain posts that possibly need further action from the community, like improvement, closure, or deletion. By presenting those posts for peer-review, the system aims for curating higher quality content.
Some user actions, such as suggesting an edit, casting a flag, close vote or reopen vote, or posting for the first time, can trigger the inclusion of a post on a review queue. There are also posts included on the queues algorithmically, such as the contents of Late Answersanswers and Low Quality Postsquality posts.
General guidelines
- Always read the full post you are reviewing.
- Don't rush. Take the necessary time to read the post carefully.
- If you don't care about a post, just click Skip or Not sure.
- When you need more context, open the post link to see the question and all answers.
- Most posts coming up for review can be improved. Use the Edit option, and edit thoroughly.
- If you're unsure how to review a post (perhaps it's outside your areas of expertise), skip it. Someone who understands it better will review it later.
