WikiProject Grey's Anatomy Newsletter: The Week of August 6, 2012

Hello members of WikiProject Grey's Anatomy! We are sending out our weekly newsletter with updates about the project and tasks. First of all, we would like to welcome three new members to the project: M.Mario, Tvlover96, and Mattom123; we look forward to collaborating with them. We have several new achievements and updates to be announced! List of Grey's Anatomy episodes, developed by TRLIJC19 and Jonathan Harold Koszeghi, is now a featured list candidate! If promoted, it will be our first piece of "in-house" featured content! Feel free to leave comments or voice your opinions here. Grey's Anatomy, Grey's Anatomy (season 3), and "Give Peace a Chance" are in the preparations for FAC. An administrative board has been added to the project, to make sure the internal processes run smoothly. Any member has the chance to join, and further information is given at the project page. Currently, however, all the positions are filled, so if you are interested, please contact the coordinator and you will be placed on a waiting list. There are many things to be done for the project, in an attempt to exemplify its best work. Below is a list of tasks, and guidelines:

Tasks and Gudelines

Please try to follow these tasks to the best of your abilities. As with any guideline, there may be exceptions, so use common sense when applying them.

Character Pages
- Ensure that each character page has this section order:
  - LEAD (and appropriate infobox)
  - Storylines
  - Development
    - Casting and creation
    - Characterization
  - Reception
  - References
  - External links
- Shorten character storylines, using {{Cite episode}} to reference episodes, and break down season sub-section headers into just one section, "Storylines".
- Model pages after Callie Torres, Lexie Grey, Owen Hunt, Izzie Stevens, Erica Hahn, Arizona Robbins, and Meredith Grey
Main Page (Grey's Anatomy)
- Keep an eye out for vandalism, as that tends to occur at that page.
General
- Many users and IPs have been erasing "surgical resident" from fifth year residents characters' occupations in infoboxes and at List of Grey's Anatomy characters. This should all be held off until more info is given on their current occupation in the season premiere. Revert if you see this, and if it's persistent; warn users.
- Some IPs/Users have been changing Lexie Grey's article as well as Callie Torres, going against MOS. Revert if you see this, and try to explain to the IP/User why this is wrong.

Weekly Initiative!
The weekly initiative this week, an extent of last week's, is to develop a Grey's Anatomy-related stub or start-class article, using the relevant guidelines above! Model your article off of a Grey's Anatomy page with GA status. Use your Wikipedia skills to fix MOS inconsistencies, copyedit, add more information by researching, and remove unreferenced claims! Barnstars will be awarded to users who destub/de-start their articles, and get the quality level promoted to at least 'C' class! You can determine if an article meets the 'C' class criteria by asking a member of the project's administrative board to review the article. Please do not change the article's quality rating yourself; you must have it reviewed by a member of the committee. A list of stub and start class Grey's Anatomy articles can be found at the project's main page. Take part in this initiative, have fun destubbing/starting articles, feel proud after the article you cleaned up looks better, and be rewarded with barnstars! Help make a difference and get started! Furthermore, if you notice that any user has participated in any weekly initiative and was not rewarded, give them a barnstar ASAP!

Have fun, and don't forget to cite everything you write! We hope to see several expanded articles soon!
