Revision as of 15:41, 1 March 2006

This is the project's main work list as we move towards Wikipedia 1.0. The articles are being evaluated according to the following criteria:

{{/FA}} Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "featured article" status after peer review.
{{/A-Class}} The article provides a well-written and complete description of the subject, as described in How to write a Great Article. It includes appropriate infoboxes and an appropriate series of headings to break up the article. It should have sufficient external references, using published books beyond internet websites. It should be at the stage where it could at least be considered for featured article status. It should be placed correctly in the category tree. It may have been selected as a "good article".
{{/B-Class}} The article is "almost there" but it may be missing one of the following: infoboxes, balance of content, external references, or an important section. Alternatively, the article may need extensive copyediting.
{{/Start}} The article has a good amount of content, but it is still weak in certain areas.
{{/Stub}} The article is either a very short article or a stub that will need a lot of work to bring it to A-Class level, although there may be a significant amount of material in the article.
{{/Unknown}} The article has not been evaluated yet.

Please note that the "Wars" and "Battles and campaigns" sections are listed in chronological order, while the others are in alphabetical order.
