Revision as of 21:57, 15 January 2009 by OlEnglish (talk | contribs) (updated intro a bit)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Welcome to my little corner of this vast space that is Misplaced Pages! I'm just a regular guy, living in Surrey, BC, don't have much to say about myself. My user page is currently under renovations. If anyone wants to volunteer to help me improve this page or make a helpful suggestion they are most welcome to; leave me a message on my talk page. As for my editing style, I make mostly minor clean-up edits to any articles on any subject. I try to find a way to improve any article I come across and generally do a little bit of everything, believing it'll improve the whole. I guess I would classify myself as a WikiGnome, albeit a very obsessive-compulsive one. ;P

Newly created articles are checked for obvious problems by members of the New pages patrol. These editors collaborate to identify articles which do not meet the criteria for inclusion and/or to tag them for any glaring issues that need attention. Article classification codes are assigned (on the article's talk page) based on an assessment of the article's quality. The assessment class codes may be updated by any contributor as the article is improved.
Typically, an article may begin with a Stub-class or Start-class code and be upgraded to C-class, then B-class as the article becomes more complete. Next, an article might be submitted to the peer review process to receive ideas and critical feedback from other editors. Upon successful completion of the peer review, an article might then be nominated for GA-Class (Good Article) status. At each step, the nominator is expected to implement the feedback they receive.
Articles achieving GA status are then potential candidates for FA-Class (Featured Article) status. Examples of featured articles are viewable daily at Misplaced Pages's Main Page.
