One of the most common methods used by WikiProject contributors to monitor and prioritize their work is that of assessing the articles within their scope. The de facto standard for these assessments is the Version 1.0 Editorial Team's assessment scale (shown below).

FA	– The article has attained featured article status by passing an official review.
A	– The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been reviewed by impartial reviewers from this WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class.
GA	– The article has attained good article status by passing an official review.
B	– The article is mostly complete and without major problems, but requires some further work to reach good article standards.
C	– The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains much irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup.
Start	– An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete. It might or might not cite adequate reliable sources.
Stub	– A very basic description of the topic. However, all very-bad-quality articles will fall into this category.

For a basic overview of article assessment, please see the Assessment FAQ.

Appalling suggestion

Hi, thanks for your comments here, however, I am appalled by one of your suggestions to block me!!

Well, I am not the angry user here and I don't need a 'cool-down' break for having reported this behavior here. If reporting such behavior would earn a block, it would only create an aversion towards the very purpose of having WP:ANI. Citing WP:BLOCK, "Blocks intended solely to "cool down" an angry user should not be used, as they often have the opposite effect. So I cannot be blocked 'solely' to cool me down. However, an angry user who is also being disruptive can be blocked to prevent further disruption".

Now I am neither angry nor disruptive, but seeking action by reporting it here. User Srkris on the other hand is angry, disruptive, uncivil and is indulging in WP:HOUND. Blocking me, just because someone thinks that I should be, for a 'cool-down' effect would work exactly in favor of User Srkris who is stalking me to create a distaste and aversion towards Misplaced Pages. You'd succeed in helping him if you block me to 'cool' me down!!

Presenting or endorsing a case to block me, just to foster 'equality' is sheer nonsense. Please don't create an aversion towards WP:ANI, otherwise no one would report anything here owing to the fear of being 'blocked' just for reporting bad behaviour, since some admin might be trying to foster 'equality'. ] (] · ]) 08:23, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

With reference to this User Srkris is involved in every single thing that WP:HOUND describes: "following another user around" accompanied by tendentiousness, personal attacks, or other disruptive behavior. All this has been happening for over ten days, and for over a week after I have reported it here. I have listed ALL of them there. I request you to look into this. Thanks. ] (] · ]) 08:31, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I have responded at WP:AN/I. Please do not cross-post. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 18:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jossi, Sudharsansn makes an addition to the archived ANI report. Is that allowed? Can I add my reply to that too? ­ Kris (talk) 20:54, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I have removed his last comment. Please pursue WP:DR as advised. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 00:31, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

If it is closed, why is it showing up on the page still? ] (] · ]) 03:27, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Signpost updated for November 17, 2008 and before.

Because the Signpost hasn't been sent in a while, to save space, I've condensed all seven issues that were not sent into this archive. Only the three issues from November are below.

Previous Block Incidents

What is the reason for the blocks on 04:12, 17 November 2008, is it because of the APEX article or was it something else? --Ramu50 (talk) 23:42, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello Ramu50. Which block are you referring to? ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 00:39, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Reverting

You'll probably delete this comments, but I'll remind you too that Prem rawat topic is under probation and that reverting without explanation is unhelpful. Perhaps you should take a break from the topic. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 02:35, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

You and Momento are seemingly engaged in a disruptive editing behavior, that seems to be based on personal animosity rather than any common sense or good editorial judgment. Take a break, would you? You should consider the possibility that what you and Momento are doing there is simply stupid. No one will win, and you know that... ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 02:39, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Momento made many edits in the past two day which you left intact, while you reverted all of my edits. You are not a neutral party here. If yo uwant to play one, revert back further. Otherwize this is another example of your biased editing. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 02:45, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

No, Will. I reverted to this edit by Collect . That is 10 edits by Momento as as many of yours. I suggest again: take a break. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 02:53, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I have self-reverted. Instead, any more of that tit-for-tat editing will surely warrant a report at WP:AE. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 03:01, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Levi's Logo

Hello, i noticed that you deleted the logo Image:Levi strauss logo.png from the Levi Strauss & Co. article, you cited in your edit summary "rv. That is the logo of a product and not of the company, and thus fails WP:FAIR" I don't want to start an edit war so lets try to settle this ASAP. Thanks Cocoaguy ここがいい_contribs Review Me! 00:02, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Please read WP:FAIR. Logos of products can be used in articles about the products themselves. The logo you uploaded is not the logo of the company and the article is about the company and not the Levi's brand.

International reaction to the United States presidential election, 2008

Hey Jossi, last month you brought up a question at this talk page about disputed territories. Perhaps you'll take a look at how I thought to address it and offer an opinion. Thanks, Grsz 02:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up,Grsz11. I made an edit and explained in talk. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 03:17, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Deletion review

I have posted a question at Misplaced Pages:Deletion review#Steve_Dillard which you may be able to answer. Can you please return to that discussion to answer it? Stifle (talk) 19:39, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom candidacy

I'm sorry to spam you but I have (exceptionally) commented on your oppose. If you wish to respond, would you please do so on my election talk page. Thanks, --ROGER DAVIES  21:25, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Re arbcom

Don't mean to sound snarky, but re "WR posters do not get my vote", you are aware that you've voted support for multiple other WR posters, and that at least four of the current Arbcom are also regulars there? – iridescent 23:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
