Wikipedia:WikiProject Energy development/Full structure

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to sustainable development, along with energy related development by civilizations. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

[edit] Title

WikiProject on Sustainable Development

[edit] Scope and goals

This WikiProject aims to establish:

  1. A method of organizing all energy development related articles
  2. A method of organizing all sustainablity related articles
  3. Clear links between both subsets of articles of organizing all sustainablity related articles
  4. Clear presentation of all viewpoints and predictions regarding future development by humanity
  5. Clear presentation of the links between these future viewpoints and the actual energy history
  6. Timely and speedy analysis of current energy related issues, and their multiple repercussions, if any.
  7. The creation of an over branching set of articles that deal with more general development, involving all types of cilviliations, past, future, and hypothetical.
  8. The creation of energy history articles clearly mirroring the history of civilizations.
  9. A final result which includes articles that are clear, NPOV, timely, and most importantly, relevant sources of information not normally gathered as such.

[edit] Structure

All articles should go through a review procedure, and a review board for this project will be created. This review board will be voted upon at the election page. The length of the postion will be determined by participants shortly after the full participatory group has been defined. The articles will be sent to the review board after each stage defined below, and if determined to have met the goals of that stage, will be moved to the next stage of editing.

[edit] Stage 0: Establishment

Articles in this stage are either just beginning, or in serious need of additional material and information. This stage can be seen as occupied by stubs, and will use either the stage zero or energy development stub template. Passing out of this stage hinges on:

  • If enough information exists to make a revelvant article
  • If there is at least one individual activily willing to make a major edit, or several individuals willing to make a minor edits.

Also, this stage is largely subjective, and thusly, is at the discretion of the view board to make a determination of its level. See also: the Stage 0 talk page Examples of articles in stage:

  • Current status of Humanity, appoximately at stage 0.1
    • Why?
      • Very stubby, no point. Yet.

[edit] Stage 1: Wiki-Creation

Articles in this stage are largely disorganized and in need of additional material and information. All non-zero articles, even if clearly not of this stage, must be pass through the review board starting at this stage. Passing out of this stage hinges on:

  • All points being covered for this article, including complete topics, clearly definied, and material inset.
  • An active base of editors (see exceptions later in page)
  • Thorough wikification.
  • A fully organized and coherent structure, with subtopics set up
  • Complete categorization
  • NPOV though highly requested, need not be perfect at this point, nor is it expected to be.

Articles are expected to be viable platforms for editing and expansion at this point, before passing out of this stage. See also: the Stage 1 talk page Examples of articles in stage:

  • Energy development and Future energy development, appoximately at stage 1.6.
    • Why?
      • Coherence - problems
      • Organization - problems
      • Largely listing of links, no clear defintion of reason for linking. Discussion to linking and the interconnectivity of links required.
      • Much editing needed.
      • POV and NPOV mixed.

I disagree. Links and souces are needed in this highly controversial area where often claims are made without any justification. The other stated problems are unclear. Ultramarine 11:02, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stage 2: Editing and Review

Articles in starting in this stage are largely organized, but do not have all the material yet. When articles pass out of this stage, they should be:

  • As complete as possible.
  • Have few or no rough edges.
  • Have fully organized talk pages and clear definitions of any and all topic clarifcations and changes that still are to be made. This should be done in order to exit the stage, because all gievances should be addequatley addressed to exit.
  • The articles should completly address is particlar issue.
  • The articles be either NPOV, and preferably, present all view points on a particlar topic without particular favoring one.
  • GRAMMAR!
  • Have pictures, graphics, tables, or any other relevant links and sources noted, and fully cited.
  • All captions, notes, and subnotes, should be well defined.
  • Page layout should be clean, nice, and without obvious graphical problems and image overlaps.

better, address all points of view. This is by far the most difficult stage to exit, and some articles may take long periods to exit this stage. This is article boot camp. See also: the Stage 2 talk page Examples of articles in this stage:

[edit] Stage 3: Project Connectivity

Articles starting in this stage should be exemplary and ready to be organized within the community of articles in this project. Passing out of this stage hinges on:

  • Clear references to its relevance to energy development or sustainablity.
  • Usage of templates and editing to clearly bring in larger scale issues with this topic.
  • Independence from outside referencing.
  • Clear efforts at editing at a higher level.
  • The article helps spawn or support newer articles in the community and is a part of the interconnection between articles in this collaboration.

Articles can only enter and exit this stage by being actively edited by individuals. No single person can bring an article to Stage 3. That said, since this stage is transitory, if the focus in the Stage 2 edits served to integrate an article into the project, exit from this stage could be speedy. The Review Board may even choose to have articles go directly from Stage 2 to Stage 4. This event will probably be rare. See also: the Stage 3 talk page Examples of articles in stage:

  • Hubbert peak, appoximately at stage 3.3.
    • Why?
      • Spelling
      • Grammar
      • Topic definition not focused on.
      • Much editing needed.
      • POV and NPOV mixed.
  • Kardashev scale, appoximately at stage 3.5.
    • Why?
      • Dependence on outside references.
      • Needs editing before exiting the stage, typical of a Stage 3 article that does not go straight to Stage 4.
      • Ignored on Featured Article Candidates nominations, no information for Featured Article status.
      • Highly edited.
      • Clear connections fo community and energy implications for human civilization.
      • Passed through peer review without comment.
      • Complete article, addressing whole of topic.

[edit] Stage 4: High Level Articles

Passing out of this stage is largely a certification of a high status article, and should be a goal, but by no means a requirement. When articles pass out of this stage, they should be:

  • Perfect
  • Be ready to possibly be brought to featured article status.
  • Be examples of the best work of this collaboration.
  • Be firmly set into the community and project interconnectivity.

[edit] Stage 5: Gems

These articles are those which best bring together this project, and will make great candidates for featured articles. These are the articles that should spawn their own collections and are the hubs that which the articles will at first center around. The can be brought up as examples as the standard to which all other articles should be compared. This does not mean that people should stop editing and improving them, and losing this status is quite as simple as lack of thought in editing new information. These articles will be watched. See also: the Stage 5 talk page

[edit] Exceptions

[edit] Stage C

Articles to be created.

[edit] Stage 1a

These are stage one articles with no active editing base. This happens for two reasons:

  1. An article is largely ignored, and therefore, an active editing base needs to be created. Drum up your support for editing an article here: the lonely ONEs talk page
  2. An article is largely complete, and therefore the review board will let them exit level one, even without an active base, because their higher stage status allows for smaller editing bases.
