General nominations
editMany are FAs or core topics, so we can probably deal with many of these easily. All will have to be reviewed before we go to press.
- I'll work on these. Walkerma 20:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
All complete Thanks to User:Eyu100 for lots of hard work!
All pass on importance. Most articles B and above should pass, and some Start-Class if usable. Some have been passed, but the page needs updating for this before work begins in earnest.
- I'll help with these. Walkerma 20:55, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- Me too. Dirk Beetstra T C 06:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
A separate page should be set up soon - for now, see Wikipedia_talk:Version_0.5#Missing_priorities. These are designed to help restore some balance to our listing.
I've set up the page. Maurreen 21:38, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
All pass on importance. All of List of African countries, List of Asian countries, List of European countries, List of North American countries and List of South American countries have been reviewed and pass. Most tend to be B-Class and follow a standard format; a few are Start-Class and Martinique is one embarrassing Stub-Class, included for completeness, but even that is usable.
Cities
editWe are very weak in this area right now, especially considering the emphasis on places for V0.5. I hope to set up a page for review of city articles. Cities fall into various categories:
- Global cities
- All pass on importance. Most articles B and above should pass, and some Start-Class if usable. Some have been passed, but we should list the remainder so as to make the job easier. WORKLIST now available.
- Capital cities
- The SOS CD included every capital in its 2000 articles, I think we should at least consider all major capitals. If you disagree, raise it on the talk page. Anyone want to take this on?
- Other major cities
- These would be nice to have if someone has the time - cities of high population or importance that are not classed as global or capital city. Examples - Wuhan, New Orleans, Newcastle upon Tyne. If time, let's comb through GA and A-Class lists for any of these.
We have a few sets to comment on and tag (if passed). A great way to get a large number of articles that give coverage in a significant subject area. (It may be that we reviewers decide certain major things are missing, and we need to nominate a few more sets to restore balance - if possible, do this fairly soon.)
- I help. NCurse
work 09:58, 5 September 2006 (UTC) - I will help too. Eyu100 04:48, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
All pass on quality, unless the quality has deteriorated seriously. We have done a lot here, but the following categories remain: Business, Engineering, History, Language, Law, Math, Media, Music, Philosophy, Politics, Royalty, Transport. Sign up for a section on the FA review page if you're interested.
- I've been started to work here, I'll continue this. The whole page must be ready, cleaned before Sept 30. NCurse work 09:59, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- I'm helping out too with things like politics, but I admit I'll be cherry picking the most important topics, as I can't realistically review all the articles I'm signed up for by myself. Walkerma 01:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

We need to create a review page, from the source page. Most (all?) of these should be "Duh" on importance, so we mainly need to look at article quality - I'd say B-Class as minimum unless they are in the Core Topics list too.
- I can work on this. I've been rather inactive for the last 5 weeks, though, so I'm out of the loop. By review page I assume you mean something like the FA review. Will this work for biographies? -- bcasterline • talk 22:33, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Fabulous! Thanks a lot! I'll try and help a bit if I can without spreading myself too thinly. Walkerma 04:12, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
