So I was reviewing an article alone with my own bare hands when an idea popped in my head (it kind of tickled): What if we had a community pee review? Hear me out. Say there's a forum where someone can submit their article. It could be within the Village Dump, or it could be within Pee Review. I'd prefer to start with the former for publicity, until the day should come that Pee Review is successfully resurrected.

After the forum is submitted, a handful of people can voluntarily come in and critique it. Rather than one template where one reviewer comments on concept, humor, prose, etc, there are subsections dealing with these topic in which others can leave comments. This would likely lead to a debate over different perspectives, as well as let someone promote their work. Or, it could backfire and be a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth.

At the very least, the idea is worthy of experiment. -- Kip the Egg Talk Works 04:50, May. 13, 2013

For being one of too many cooks. -RAHB 04:54, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

 For. Sounds like it could work. IFYMB! Talk to me baby! 05:19 13 May 2013

For Although why not do away with the headings and just create an open forum for everyone to give feedback in whatever format/length they prefer? -- The Zombiebaron 05:21, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

 For. Yeah. I'm with the undead one on this one: I always hated the idea of giving points for humour, for instance. "I don't know... Butt Poop... by the age in years, it must get around 3 points. In months, anything between 36 and 48." Also, if an article has typos and bad grandma, you just say they it has them and the writer corrects it or explains his idea otherwise. -- Style  Guide 13:50, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

An easy way to make it popular - give it a space on the front page (maybe instead of Yesterday's Featured Article or Did You Know? or something) and have any articles that are being reviewed flash up at random. Encourage users to specifically say HOW THEY WOULD MAKE PAGE BETTER rather than just shit on articles without saying why, a prevalent approach on VfH which is called, I believe, The Saigon Slip.

I like, I like! IFYMB! Talk to me baby! 16:38 13 May 2013

In other words: practical feedback or shut the fuck up. Yeah, let's go with that. – Preceding unsigned comment added by Multiliteralist (talk • contribs)

Yep, sorry. I had my hand in my pants at the time. -- Style  Guide 18:38, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Comment. Don't sway me, Dexter John! I might flip-flop at any time in the face of such strong arguments! -- Style  Guide 07:31, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Let's do this

The vote seems to be unanimous (minus John ). Now someone needs to volunteer an article so that we may practice and mold. -- Kip the Egg Talk Works 21:01, May. 15, 2013

Is this still happening?

If so, then  For. , because, we all should pee. And besides, I think multiple points of view reduce bias... so I guess so. --The Slayer of Zaramoth DungeonSiegeAddict510 21:54, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Set it up somewhere, someone.

Unless you want to do it in someone's user space with for instance a reclamation on Dump when someone submits a new piece. I have a bit to say about IFYMB's article already. -- Style  Guide 07:34, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Also it could be argued that we could do it on the Pee Review page, above the actual review, the way I have been doing for some time. But a new thing is always more shiny (except where a matte finish is intended and there are no problems in the production process). It's someoene else's call. -- Style  Guide 07:38, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Wasn't the original idea to do this on the Village Dump? Just create a new forum page for each article. Eventually we can make a separate section for them. -- The Zombiebaron 13:51, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Arite, I'll set up the IFYMB thingy then. -- Style  Guide 16:51, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
