[edit]

No or trivial involvement - from no edits at all, to making a few trivial edits
Modest involvement - from edits which were more than trivial, some minor copy-editing and/or adding sources up to adding a very small amount of useful content
Significant involvement - from helpful copy-editing and adding useful content, up to possibly one of the main contributors
Major involvement - one of the main contributors, up to possibly responsible for 90%+ of content at time of GA

It can be done.

Lead

* Lead. To meet GA criteria 1(b), which relates to specific [[WP:MOS|manual of style]] guidelines, the article needs to comply with the advice in [[WP:LEAD]]. That is, in addition to being an introduction, the lead needs to be an adequate overview of the whole of the article. As a rough guide, each major section in the article should be represented with an appropriate summary in the lead. Also, the article should provide further details on all the things mentioned in the lead. And, the first few sentences should mention the most notable features of the article's subject - the essential facts that every reader should know.

Start

{{subst:GAstart}}


I'll start reading over the next few days and then begin to make comments. I am normally a slow reviewer - if that is likely to be a problem, please let me know as soon as possible. I tend to directly do copy-editing and minor improvements as I'm reading the article rather than list them here; if there is a lot of copy-editing to be done I may suggest getting a copy-editor (on the basis that a fresh set of eyes is helpful). Anything more significant than minor improvements I will raise here. I see the reviewer's role as collaborative and collegiate, so I welcome discussion regarding interpretation of the criteria. ~~~~

Vandals
  • There is a fair amount of reverting of edits by IP accounts. It is not uncommon for high profile articles to get a lot of attention by casual users, both helpful and unhelpful. In general it is preferred to keep articles unprotected; however, if there is a problematic amount of unhelpful/vandalistic editing I will semi-protect on request. Do regular contributors feel that the unhelpful edits are manageable?

  • It's worth being aware that for many (I think it's actually most) readers the lead is all that they read. The modern editions (post 1972) of Encyclopedia Britannica split the encyclopedia into the Micropædia (short articles) and the Macropædia (detailed articles) - most topics would be covered in both, but at different levels of detail. The Micropædia is our equivalent of the lead. The lead does serve as an introduction to the topic, and invites people to read the sections that interest them for greater detail, but the lead should also be able to stand alone - provide the reader with a summary of the main points of the topic. Generally, if an aspect of a topic is deemed important enough to justify a section of two or more paragraphs, then that aspect should be summarised in the lead; if the topic is not important enough to be mentioned in the lead, then perhaps it shouldn't have so much attention paid to it in the main body. Keeping a balance between the lead and the main body is tricky, but does help to keep the mind focussed on what are the important points.


  • Sometimes editors simply place in an article the information they find on a topic with insufficient judgement of selection and organisation of the material; then, when the article looks big enough the assumption is it it will become a Good Article as long as the prose is OK. Some other editors, on the other hand, are able to assess the wide range of material available on the topic, and to judge which points are important and should be mentioned.
