The Tetons - Snake River (1942) by Ansel Adams.

WikiProject Limnology and Oceanography is a group of editors who aim to improve the reliability and accuracy of Wikipedia pages relating to the study of inland waters and marine environments. If you would like to contribute, please add yourself as a participant in the project, inquire on the talk page, and see the to-do list, below.

Scope

This WikiProject is a collaboration to improve articles relating to inland waters and marine environments, including the study of lakes, ponds, reservoirs, streams, rivers, wetlands, groundwater, estuaries, and oceans. We strive for a diverse editor base and aquatic science topics to help combat common biases in Wikipedia.

Goals

Improve articles within the scope of the project through verifiable and objective editing.

Article quality goals

10 featured articles: 10% complete

30 good articles: 16.7% complete

Edit-a-thon goals

Review and assessment

Assessment

Main page: Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment

Adopted from WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology statistics page.

The standard system on wikipedia is for each article to be assigned two grades: one for completeness and another for significance. These grades as assigned to articles by adding and/or updating the {{Wikiproject Limnology and Oceanography|class= |importance= }} template on that article's talk page. If you have improved an article, you may adjust the entry in the template yourself, or you may simply put a remark in the talk page that improvements have been done.

Quality scale

Class is determined by how well written an article is based on completeness, clarity and referencing. Articles typically are slowly improved up the levels until they reach A-Class, at which point they go through a more thorough review process with strict criteria to become Good Articles (GA) and Featured Articles (FA). The quality level is set using the |class= attribute in the {{WikiProject Limnology and Oceanography}} template in the article's talk page.

• FA — Among the best articles that Wikipedia has to offer. These articles have been through an extensive review process to meet the highest standards.
• GA — Articles that have been reviewed and meet the good article standards.
• A — Excellent articles of a length suitable for the subject that provide a well-written, reasonably clear and complete description of the topic.
• B — Articles that contain most of the necessary material but have significant gaps, missing elements or references.
• C — Articles that are missing important content, contains irrelevant material, or are poorly referenced.
• Start — Articles that have a meaningful amount of good content, but are still weak in many areas, possibly lacking a key element such as a standard infobox.
• Stub — Articles that are either very short or rough collections of information that will need much work.

Importance scale

Article significance is based loosely on how aware the general population is of the topic, and therefore how likely they are to consult Wikipedia. Importance is set using the |importance= attribute in the {{WikiProject Limnology and Oceanography}} template in the article's talk page.

• Top — Subjects that are first closely examined in high school or earlier or that receive significant attention in the media.
• High — Subjects that are generally examined at university or are briefly mentioned at the high school level.
• Mid — Subjects that are examined at later years of university courses.
• Low — Obscure subjects that are important to researchers in the specific field.
