[edit] Urgent help needed!

Your help is needed here! Literally thousands and thousands of articles are located in Category:England and all of its sub-categories and they all need tagging using {{WPE}} and rating for class and importance, for example to rate an article as top importance and class A, you would type {{WPE|class=A|importance=Top}}, for the class their is a range of different types, the following is a list of them:

  • A - An excellent article - above Good article status (The article does not have to have been given GA status to be classed as A)
  • GA - The article has been officialy reviewed by a non-editor to the article and has been given the official good article status
  • B - A well written article but lacking certain information, however still of a high standard
  • Start - The article is more than just a stub but needs a lot of work doing to it, possible work includes wikifying ect.
  • Stub - The article is very short yet explains the title and gives enough information but more informatino could be added.

[edit] Importance

  • Top - This is for very high importance articles (e.g London) which are widely recognised.
  • High - High importance articles which are recognised but not as well known as - for example the capital of a country.
  • Mid - Articles and people/places etc in which are recognised nationally but not internationally.
  • Low - Articles about places just within the local community and not internationally known, (e.g A local school).
