200+ Biography article assessments

Per a request a few hours ago, I banged out 200+ Biography assessments. -- Jreferee 01:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Criteria and articles with comments

Hi. I bumped into this page in my watchlist and wanted to suggest three things. One, the comments reviewers give editors are among the best things I have received from WikiProject Biography. Would it be possible to give people some idea of how to improve their articles? For Stub, and perhaps Start, a copy/paste of the steps to B class might work (I saw someone do this today and it worked well). For B and above more personalized comments might help. Second, could the criteria on which grading is done be part of "Instructions on how to assess a Biography article"? For example I am not sure that length is the sole difference between Stub and a Start (the quality scale says Stub is "either a very short article or a rough collection of information..."). Third, I would encourage use of the quality scale shared by all the projects (it does not forbid A class before GA, a rule that seems to have been introduced in this drive). Hope this helps. -Susanlesch 00:23, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

• Hello, perhaps criteria need to be developed for not only this drive, but I added a few sentences to the instructions and will copy them to the project talk page for wider discussion. -Susanlesch 16:19, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Awards

I will draw up and propose an WikiBarnstar Award(s) for the efforts listed herein. Should it be one for each accomplishment? I.e. a Barnstar for each level with the a total underneath for the new level they have reached? --Ozgod 01:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

There are three of us on the awards committee, so we can award at least three awards from each level. -- Jreferee 17:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk page without article

Talk:Taylor Siluwe - this talk page has no article. I wasn't really sure who to report that to. Does someone know? Awadewit 08:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

The article was deleted. I'm not sure why the talk page still shows up. To report improper deletion, or request undeletion, see WP:DRV. -- Jreferee 17:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

How Many Sections Done

The Science and Academia section is generally cleared of unassessed articles now, as is Sports and Games. We still need to check them for new ones every so often, but the hard part on those is done. We're doign great so far.--Wizardman 18:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

But then in addition, theres the thousands of articles with no WPBio talk page tag. Last year I tagged something like 2,500 pages with those tags, mostly in sub-cats of Category:Peers. Kingbotk would be a great help to update sometime soon, but as I understand it that can't be done. RHB 18:33, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Royalty is pretty much clear too. A lot of the talk page tagging is supposed to be happening through the Automation department using AWB. I've been trying to work on it a little over the last few days, but there are a huge number of categories there. I'm thinking we finish the assessment drive and then move the focus to those stubs. Why can't a bot do it - or is it just Kingbotk that can't? - Mocko13 19:21, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Military is now down to below 100 articles, so it should be done pretty soon - • The Giant Puffin • 13:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Military is now completed apart from a few lists, all of which are now in the "list" class - • The Giant Puffin • 16:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

List class

Why doesn't it remove these from the list? Most were rated and I finished the remainder just now, but I still see them in the Unassessed biog cat. RHB 17:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I have noted that one one occassion. Can you link to some of them? --Ozgod 12:45, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
