Wikipedia:Version 0.5 FA Review
 This page is designed to facilitate the nomination and review process of Featured Articles (FAs) for Wikipedia:Version 0.5 (V0.5), the test CD release designed to pave the way for Wikipedia:Version 1.0. Reviewers from the review team are encouraged to sign up for subject sections that interest them. It is also possible to share responsibility for a section in order to split up the workload. Reviewers first check which article have already been passed. Then they will aim to review all FAs within their area of interest by August 31, 2006. This will allow FAs to bypass the general V0.5 nomination page going straight from this page to the main Version 0.5 page once approved. CriteriaThe criteria for importance and quality apply, but the group has (after much heated discussion agreed on this consensus view for FAs:
Reviewer sign-upPlease sign your name up if you are going to work on a section - please aim to complete the section by August 31. Art, architecture, and archaeology Business, economics, and finance
Geology, geophysics, and meteorology |
Review process
As time allows, each reviewer will check articles on their list based on the criteria above. With most articles expected to pass, this should be a relatively straightforward review process, easy to complete by August 31 2006. Note that an article should only be removed from the list if it loses its FA status. After an article has been reviewed, the following process is carried out: Pass
Fail on importance only If the article is of acceptable quality, but on a topic outside the scope of the V0.5 release:
Fail on quality If the article fails to meet the criteria because of quality issues:

Importance review
If you think an article from your section is too obscure to be included, please list it here and sign. If two others agree and sign, and no one disagrees, strikeout the article name (using <s> and </s>) and leave a comment such as "scope" or "importance". If one reviewer disagrees, the article should be included in V0.5.

- Jabba the Hutt - already have Star Wars.
- Agree NCurse work 18:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

- Disagree, "It broke several box office records in its opening week" Kirill Lokshin 19:01, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- TARDIS - already have Doctor Who..
- Agree NCurse work 18:35, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- Disagree, "The programme has become so much a part of British popular culture that not only has the shape of the police box become more immediately associated with the TARDIS than with its original real-world function, the word "TARDIS" has been used to describe anything that seems bigger on the inside than on the outside" Kirill Lokshin 19:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- Disagree even no Oscar... NCurse work 18:35, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Music
I nominate these articles... NCurse work 18:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Grunge music
- Disagree Grunge was very influential, and pop music today would sound very different but for this. Walkerma 19:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Charles Ives
- Disagree. "He is widely regarded as one of the first American classical composers of international significance." Maurreen 17:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sly & the Family Stone
- Disagree "band was pivotal in the development of soul, funk and psychedelia" - "there are two types of black music: black music before Sly Stone, and black music after Sly Stone" - Like the Velvet Underground, this band was far more influential than their popularity-at-the-time would suggest. They helped turn the 60s into the 70s IMHO. Walkerma 19:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Business, economics, and finance
