Coaching Other Editors
As mentioned in Appendix C (Coaching and Classes), Wikipedia has three pages where an editor can get personal advice from another editor. TwoâAdopt-a-User and Admin coachingâare primarily for experienced editors; you can learn about them later in this chapter (For Experienced Editors). The third is Wikipedia:Editor review (shortcut: WP:ER), which lets editors have their edits evaluated by several peers, who provide tips and pointers on areas for improvement. Thereâs often a backlog of reviews here, so this can be a great place to jump in and provide much-needed help. You need to be able to spot flaws (and strengths) of other editors, and have a bit of time to provide them with feedback.
