[edit] Codes and meanings Article progress grading scheme Status Cell Color Meaning of Status Needs opinion #FFFFFF This article has not yet been classified into the categories above. Please help by classifying this article. Not started #888888 The article hasn't been started yet. You can help by creating it. Stub #FF5555 The article is either a very short article or a stub that will need a lot of work to bring it to A-Class level. Start class #77BBFF The article has a decent amount of content, but it is still very weak in certain areas, and may lack a table. B-Class #FFFF66 The article is "almost there" but it may be missing one of the following: references, balance of content, NPOV or an important section. Alternatively, the English may need a comprehensive rewrite to make it flow. A-Class #FFDCF8 The article provides a well-written and complete description of the topic, as described in How to write a Great Article. It includes a well-written introduction to the topic, and an appropriate series of headings to break up the article. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from the "hard" literature rather than websites. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems.
