Umm, no, they aren't - at least not in the way the term is used in
scientific subjects.

Many articles are never reviewed in any systematic manner; in fact, that is
the overwhelming majority of our articles.  Those that are formally
reviewed are reviewed in the context of meeting *Wikipedia* standards:
formatting, manual of style, reliable sources as references (as opposed to,
say, blogs).   It doesn't contain most of the elements of peer review seen
for scientific papers.
