[edit] Proposal of articles for upgrading to A-Class

The following articles are currently classified as B-Class. Nonetheless, they are so complete that they may be compliant to A-Class requirements. Their classification is here for peer review. If you need support with writing an article you can always follow the Wikipedia Peer Review Process. When sufficient support for re-classification is listed here, the article will duly be moved to A-Class.




[edit] Ozone

While reassessing the worklist again, I noticed that now Ozone is becoming a fairly nice article. The Chemistry section could need some help, but all in all a good article at least. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 22:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC).

  • After having been GA-class for quite a while, it was demoted from GA back to B, at which level it still is since November. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 21:25, 2 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Aspirin

Mainly pharmaceutical content - but this looks pretty good to me. Then again biochemistry isn't a strong point of mine. Do others agree this should be an A-Class? Walkerma 03:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Carvone

I did a lot of upgrades on this last year - is it A-Class yet? If not, what remains to be done? Walkerma 03:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Close. Apart from rather short Uses paragraphs, the other things are rather small technical things. The peerreviewer picks these up easily, and are mostly nothing that some night hours of editing labour can't solve. However, in my humble opinion, an A-Class article ought not have incompliance to our own wikipedia guidelines. Here the issues!

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program.

  • Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
  • Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: flavor (A) (British: flavour), flavour (B) (American: flavor), aluminium (B) (American: aluminum), routing (A) (British: routeing), sulfur (A) (British: sulphur).
  • Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
    • While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 11 additive terms, a bit too much.
  • You may wish to convert your form of references to the cite.php footnote system that WP:WIAFA 1(c) highly recommends.
  • Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

[edit] Titanium tetrachloride

Good work by many editors. Worthy of A-Class now! Wim van Dorst (Talk) 23:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC).

Looks pretty close to me, though I'd like to see some things expanded a bit. There are too many "one-liners" describing fairly important aspects. I'll see if I can add a bit. Walkerma 00:35, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Diborane

Now a very well filled article. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 21:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC).
