The goal of this Misplaced Pages Version 1.0 Editorial Team is to work toward a set of articles suitable for release in print, CD, DVD, or some combination.

This may involve identifying, improving or maintaining selected articles. In 2003, Jimbo Wales proposed making a release version. Our work will not affect the existing wiki process for creating and editing articles. We are aiming to begin with a set of quality articles on key subjects (core topics) and to build a full encyclopedia from this base.

You're encouraged to join us and help out with one of the projects, or to discuss Misplaced Pages 1.0 on the talk page.

Strategy

This has been the subject of intense debate, but the group has reached a general consensus. We elected not to follow the German model. Instead we aim to start with a core of quality articles on key subjects and expand from there. We plan to produce a smaller test version before releasing a larger collection of articles.

Status

Much of the work so far has centered on identifying important topics and assessing articles. We are now beginning to work on improving key articles and organizing articles for publication.

Misplaced Pages 1.0 Projects
Name Summary of overall strategy Coordinator Description of activities
Core Topics Small foundation based on core topics, build from there. User:xxxxx Improve a set of around 160 articles on top-level subjects, through a COTF and other collaborations. Once these reach a publishable standard, a further set of key topics will be assessed and brought up to standard.
Featured Articles First Use known quality articles User:TUF-KAT Now reviewing older or problem FAs to ensure that quality is maintained, ready for inclusion of these articles in Misplaced Pages 1.0.
Work Via WikiProjects (WVWP) Use "networking" to mobilise our existing subject specialists User:Walkerma Contact each WikiProject individually. Record article suggestions from the WikiProjects and seeking to identify important topics within each WikiProject's area of expertise. The project serves as a link with the editing community, and later will assist in bringing in expert reviewers prior to publication.
WikiSort Integrate the sifting process into the Wiki User:The1physicist Aims to use data from the planned user rating scheme to provide rankings of articles, such that important quality articles can be automatically identified for inclusion in Misplaced Pages 1.0.
Test Version (Test Version) Work with release version done off site that was coordinated by BozMo User:BozMo BozMo's group has already released a version with 2000 articles and some level of organized quality control and standards.
Geography Will focus initially on continents and countries. User:Maurreen A stand-alone geography release could be made, and it could be a test for wider-ranging release.

Proposed projects

  • Blessed Editions (other names welcome :-) aims to give experts in each field the tools to review articles in their area of expertise and "bless" particular revisions as meeting their standard of judgement.
  1. Allow editors to propose new "blessing" groups. Ex: "Featured Article review" or "American Physical Society peer review".
  2. Each blessing group would have a set of review guidelines.
  3. Each blessing group would consist of this set of guidelines, and a set of users who could "bless" a revision of an article as satisfying them.
  4. Articles with blessed revisions would display icons or links to last-blessed revisions.
To be coordinated by Sj, Jeff Keller, Gnp.
  • Geography project proposes to produce essentially a descriptive gazetteer of the world for publication. This could include an atlas, continents, countries and major cities. This would serve as a test bed for publishing Misplaced Pages 1.0, but could also be a valuable stand-alone product.
  • Three Level Editing lets all users participate in a three part editing process to assure that pages are up to quality standards. The first level is just a general check, the second level is a factual check, and the third level is a last "just in case" check. This process would assure that articles would be up to standards without putting too much responsibility on one user.

Stages to publication

  • Bring our identified core topic articles (about 160) up to an agreed standard of quality. This work is coordinated through the COTF.
  • Add a further list of "key topics" which includes many more specific subjects (important historical figures, etc.), as discussed here.
  • Integrate suitable featured articles and the key quality articles identified by our contacts with WikiProjects into the core or key lists.
  • Organize the articles in a coherent way, and identify any significant missing topics or articles needing urgent review. Integrate articles with suitable support material (lists, etc.).
  • Identify any possible publication problems, agree on suitable publishers, pricing, media.
  • Issue a final list of articles for publication. Ideally these would be reviewed by subject experts, and validated versions identified before publication.
  • Publish, on DVD, CD, paper or some combination.
