Tasks

I will set you one or more tasks a week. These may have something to do with a question you asked or just something I think will help your editing skills.

Answers

Week one (Monday 25/08/08)

1. Through clicking on a redlink within an article.
   By performing a search at New Page Help, then clicking Create new page if it does not exist.
   Either will take you to a page where you can edit the new page. Kipoc (talk)

3. In progress, tried out some work at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Red_Link_Recovery but don't think I'll make that more than a random bit of work in my spare time. I'm scouring through the list of WikiProjects and will update when I've found one I'm happy to be a permanent part of. Y
4. I think this is what you mean (via WP:WIABCA)

B {{B-Class}}

The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. The use of citation templates such as {{cite web}} is not required, but the use of <ref></ref> tags is encouraged. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing. The article has a defined structure. Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind. The article is reasonably well written. The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it certainly need not be "brilliant". The Manual of Style need not be followed rigorously. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content. The article presents its content in an appropriately accessible way. It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible.

Week two (Monday 01/09/08)

I assessed Deanna Troi however I think I'm missing the point perhaps. It's at least a Start class article as you mentioned when answering my question. I can look at the B class criteria and see why it wouldn't fit that rating -

• low amount of references
• brief coverage of the topic (not comprehensive at all)
• has a userbox and picture as supporting material (but may easily include more)
• could be made more accessible as it contains some Star Trek related terminology that may not be understood by people who are not used to the show
• has a defined structure that could easily be expanded upon through improved coverage.

I'm not sure if this answers the question though *looks unsure* :) Kipoc (talk) 08:58, 5 September 2008 (UTC) Y

This is fine. I wanted you to do this to improve your knowledge of B-class ratings and articles. Without fulfilling the basic B-class criteria, an article can't hope to become a good articles and better.

Week three (Monday 08/09/08)

1. I've looked through the copyright page. :) Kipoc (talk) 20:03, 9 September 2008 (UTC) Y
