Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Community areas of Chicago

This is a centralized discussion forum for Wikipedia's articles on the community areas in Chicago.

The goal

To get 78 articles (one for each of the 77 areas and Community areas in Chicago) to Featured Article status. Once this happens keep those articles at Featured Article quality.

Methods and materials

Here are some more specifics on how we'll finish our goal.

Advice on assessment

Per ADVICEPAGE, this does not override such things as CHIASSESS, but

• Difference between stub and start class: as of November 2019 all community area articles are at least start-class.
• Difference between start and C-class: Cleanup tags are usually disqualifiers for C-class.
• Difference between C- and B-class: Read the B-class criteria for more information.

For higher levels please read Wikipedia's essays on the Good Article criteria and the Featured Article criteria. WikiProject Chicago does not currently have a functional A-class review process.

Advice on ultimate format

The suggested format for a community area's page before it is submitted to FAC is found here. Per ADVICEPAGE, it is merely a supplement for the Featured Article criteria and do not replace them, but should be a useful guide.

Annual assessments

Once every year (roughly around January 1), we go through each article and check to see whether it merits a change in assessment status. An assessment on an article should be suspended iff that article is currently undergoing a Good Article nomination or Featured Article candidacy. If it is already a Good or Featured Article, then the assessment should be to see whether it still meets the appropriate criteria, and if not what should be done about it. If a Good Article Nomination has been placed but the review hasn't started yet, you should start the review iff you are sufficiently uninvolved in the article's writing.

Current progress
