Reviewers Rules
*************************

1) Check the english language
2) Check the template: the articles on chapter 4 should have the following:

• Template (http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Template_Paragraph_Testing_AoC)

[[http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Web_Application_Penetration_Testing_AoC Up]] {{Template:OWASP Testing Guide v2}} == Brief Summary == <br> ..here: we describe in "natural language" what we want to test. <br> == Description of the Issue == <br> ...here: Short Description of the Issue: Topic and Explanation <br> == Black Box testing and example == '''Testing for Topic X vulnerabilities:''' <br> ...<br> '''Result Expected:'''<br> ...<br><br> == Gray Box testing and example == '''Testing for Topic X vulnerabilities:'''<br> ...<br> '''Result Expected:'''<br> ...<br><br> == References == '''Whitepapers'''<br> ...<br> '''Tools'''<br> ...<br> {{Category:OWASP Testing Project AoC}}

In some articles we don't need to talk about Gray Box Testing or other, so we can eliminate it.

3) Check the reference style. (I'd like to have all the referenced URLs visible because I have to produce also a pdf document of the Guide). I agree with Stefano, we have to use a reference like that:

== References == '''Whitepapers'''<br> * [1] Author1, Author2: "Title" - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2254.txt<br> * [2]...<br> '''Tools'''<br> * Francois Larouche: "Multiple DBMS Sql Injection tool" - http://www.sqlpowerinjector.com/index.htm <br>

4) Check the reference with the other articles of the guide or with the other OWASP Project.

5) Other?
