Article assessments

I noticed you have added assessments to some biography articles. There is a formal process for designating articles as Good articles, which involves more than just tagging articles with that rating. Articles such as Lloyd Owusu do not meet Good article standards yet, since it has zero references among other issues. Take a look at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment for more details on the assessment levels. --Aude (talk) 18:07, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Murali Kartik is a good article, as noted on the talk page as well as in the WP India and WP Cricket boxes on the talk page. I'm sure Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography needs help in assessing articles, but I suggest having someone there explain more about how they do it and help you out. I'm not involved in the process, so don't know 100% how they do things either, except that I'm aware of how good articles work. With some help from them, I'm sure you will quickly learn and be a help to them. `--Aude (talk) 18:20, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I left a message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography/Assessment. Someone who is more knowledgeable (than myself) can help explain more about how assessments are done. Thanks. --Aude (talk) 18:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, articles need to be nominated for Good article status. There are specific criteria that articles must meet to be designated good articles. There are also standards expected for B-class articles, and lesser requirements for start-class as outlined on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment. --Aude (talk) 18:35, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I thought I was the only wikipedian that's 13 years old and has to use a slow 5 year old computer... Anyways, if you're confused with any of the assessment procedures just leave a note on my talk page about it and I'll try to answer it as soon as possible. --Psychless 14:21, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I'll go through each one and explain it as well as I can...

• FA – To get this rating an article must meet the Featured Article criteria. It has to be nominated for FA status at the featured article candidates page. There, people either support or oppose the nomination, usually leaving comments if they oppose. To show you the hell of getting an article to FA see this nomination.
• A – This is a step above GA and easier to get than FA. It has to go through an A-class review. More information on this can be found here. Articles are generally Good Articles before they get A class.
• GA – Easier version of FA. It has to meet the Wikipedia:Good article criteria. It has to be nominated for GA status, then a person will look over the article and either pass it, fail it, or put it on hold if the changes needed can be made in a timely manner. More info on this can be found here.
• B – This is the highest rating you can give an article without formal review. A B article covers the subject well, it's a decent article. An article should have references to get this rating, but it doesn't have to.
• Start – Article looks like it's still under construction. Probably has no references and gaps of information. e.g. An article on a soccer player covers his soccer career well but doesn't talk about his early and personal life.
• Stub – Barely a paragraph long that talks briefly about what they were most famous for. If it's very short and has references, it's still a stub. Here's two stub articles: Jakub Wujek and Maxim Jakubowski. If it's full of lists that don't really tell much about the person it's still a stub. See Jakup Mato.

I hope this helped clarify things. It probably isn't completely necessary to put the "this article can be improved..." thing on every talk page. I personally don't think it really helps anyone but if you think it does then you can ignore me :). Regards, Psychless 18:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

League of Copyeditors roll call

Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there. The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors.

Express-Times

Hey Wikipeep, my name's Colin, I'm a reporter with the Express-Times in Easton. I am looking to write a story about local Lehigh Valleyians who edit Wikipedia on a frequent basis (or people from outside the area who edit Lehigh Valley-related articles) and looking at your userpage and contributions, you look like you'd be the perfect person for me to talk to. (I had thought of this idea last summer but never was able to write it, so if I've approached you about this before, I apologize). I was wondering if you wouldn't mind speaking to me for my story? I'm hoping to write it this weekend or next week, so if you could contact me ASAP I'd very much appreciate it. You can call me at my work number at 610-258-7171 ex3567 or email me at cmcevoy@express-times.com and let me know the best way to get in touch with you. Looking forward to speaking with you!

List of Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles in 1998

Hey. I noticed that you started the page of List of Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles in 2012 and have been updating it. Any chance that you could start the List of Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles in 1998 page? Lttljvd promised me he would set it up, but I don't think he is coming back. If you could do this for me, I would really appreciate it. We both agreed that he would at least go up to 1998, Arjoccolenty (talk) 03:54, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello, yes, I can definitely try! I don't think I can do it in one go but I can definitely do it in bits and pieces. --Wikipeep 494 (talk) 04:02, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
