Hi. I'm asking question regarding the reviewing of Wikipedia:Peer review/List of Johnson solids/archive1. The reviewer is not active in two weeks. According to the instruction, the reviewing would be closed formally in several weeks, and "if an answered review is inactive for more than one week." Would it be closed and I have to nominate the PR again? Alternatively, should I find another reviewer if one is not active? Many thanks for providing the answers.

Hello again, Dedhert.Jr! What I believe the closing instructions meant by "if an answered review is inactive for more than one week" is if a review has been conducted but the nominator is inactive for a week. I've edited the page to clarify that. I'll throw out another ping for Duckmather in case the review has just slipped his mind (it happens), but if no comments are forthcoming, you may want to list the review page in the Unanswered peer reviews sidebar to attract more reviewers. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:49, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See See WP:PRG#Step 4: Closing a review, which includes "If a request is unanswered for more than one month", so the closeure was not exactly "incorrect". I"m not sure that reopening to sit there will help much, if it didn't attract attention for 6 months. You may be better off calling in favors, posting on WikiProject pages, etc. Aza24 (talk) 18:28, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've just removed a criterion from § Step 4: Closing a review which previously read "If a request is unanswered for more than one month." Because of how understaffed the peer review process tends to be, I regularly find that reviews can go unnoticed for months before an interested editor comes along and provides comments. I don't think it's a net positive to summarily throw out month-old requests and tell the nominator, in essence, that they're out of luck. Feel free to revert me if you disagree with the change and we can discuss it further if necessary. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:48, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Probably not, as those discussions were closed validly at the time. It would be easier to have the nominators simply open a new review page if they're still interested in comments. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:41, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
