W Will and DYK

At the end of that long AN/I thread, you and Ottava Rima proposed dialogue with WW and control of her actions on DYK, and OR left a message on WW's talk page inviting discussion. WW did not edit for several days, but today has returned when her first action, ominously, was to archive her talk page. It seems that OR is out of action at present; would it perhaps be useful for you to take up the baton and leave WW a message outlining your proposals and inviting her to discuss them?

Issue XXIX (July 2008)
Project news
  • The criteria for Military history A-Class reviews have been overhauled. The new standard is deliberately set higher than before, and is much closer to featured article quality. The new criteria are:
  • A1. The article is consistently referenced with an appropriate citation style, and all claims are verifiable against reputable sources, accurately represent the relevant body of published knowledge, and are supported with specific evidence and external citations as appropriate.
  • A2. The article is comprehensive, factually accurate, neutral and focused on the main topic; it neglects no major facts or details, presents views fairly and without bias, and does not go into unnecessary detail.
  • A3. The article has an appropriate structure of hierarchical headings, including a concise lead section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections, and a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents.
  • A4. The article is written in concise and articulate English; its prose is clear, is in line with style guidelines, and does not require substantial copy-editing to be fully MoS-compliant.
  • A5. The article contains supporting visual materials, such as images or diagrams with succinct captions, and other media, where appropriate.
  • The timescale for A-Class articles has also been changed to give more editors an opportunity to participate.
  • The six-monthly Coordinators' election has been moved back a month to avoid clashes with the holiday period. The sign-up period will run from 1–15 September and the elections themselves from 16–30 September.
  • The military land vehicles task force has been created.

Could I get your opinion.

Would you take a look at the discussion on Let_Freedom_Ring:_Winning_the_War_of_Liberty_over_Liberalism and see if you have an opinion on the matter. I believe there is an issue with undue wieght. I'd like your view as a former admin. Thanks. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Besides, I've learned that "former admin" is a more prestigious title anyways. It shows I have both integrity and fame. *smiles*--King Bedford I 16:54, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
