Wikipedia:WikiProject Korn/A-Class review

Instructions

Requesting a review

To request the first A-Class review of an article:

1. Please double-check the A-class criteria and ensure that the article meets the criteria.
2. Add {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Korn/ACC}} to the article's talk page.
3. Return to this page and add ''Article'' (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (replacing article with the nominee's name)
4. List your reason for nominating the article in the appropriate place, and save the page
5. Add {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Name of nominated article}} at the top of the list of A-Class review requests below.

• There is no limit on how quickly renominations of failed articles may be made; it is perfectly acceptable to renominate as soon as the outstanding objections from the previous nomination have been satisfied.

Commenting

The new Milhist A-Class standard is deliberately set high, very close to featured article quality. Reviewers should therefore satisfy themselves that the article meets all of the A-Class criteria before supporting a nomination. If needed, a FAQ page is available. As with featured articles, any objections must be "actionable"; that is, capable of rectification.

Closing and archiving

Reviews remain open for a minimum of five days and a maximum of twenty-eight days. They will be closed once a project coordinator determines that either (a) clear consensus to promote or to fail exists or (b) no consensus will be reached (in which case the status quo prevails). Consensus to promote normally requires (a) that at least three uninvolved editors consider the article has met all five military history A-Class criteria and (b) that any criteria-based objections have been entirely resolved.

To close a review, coordinators should:

1. Add {{subst:archive top}} and {{subst:archive bottom}} to the top and bottom of the review subpage, respectively.
2. Change the A-Class=current in the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of the article's talk page to either A-Class=pass (if the nomination is successful) or A-Class=fail (if it is not), and update the assessment class if needed.
3. Update (or add) the {{ArticleHistory}} section at the top of the article's talk page to record the review.
4. Move the {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Name of nominated article}} from the list of requests below to the current archive page.
5. Remove the article link from the A-Class review list at {{WPMILHIST Announcements}}.
6. If the nomination was successful, add the article name to the list of A-Class articles, update the article count, add the article to the next issue of the monthly newsletter, and add the nominator's name to A-Class Medal Eligibility Tracking page.

A-Class reappraisal review instructions

Instructions

Requesting a reappraisal

Any editor in good standing may request a reappraisal of an A-Class article's status. The procedure is as follows:

1. Edit the code in the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of the article's talk page from A-Class=pass to A-Class=current and save the page.
2. The Milhist project banner will now read: "This article is currently undergoing an A-Class review". Click on the currently undergoing link. This will take you to the last A-Class review for the article's promotion.
3. Move the existing review subpage (Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Name of nominated article) to an empty archive slot (for example, Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Name of nominated article/archive1) to make way for the new discussion.
4. Go to (Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Name of nominated article), which the move will have turned into a redirect and replace the #REDIRECT string with:

   ===[[Name of nominated article]]===

   '''Reappraisal review''': I am nominating this article for reappraisal because it may no longer meet the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/A-Class|A-class criteria]] ~~~~

    :'''Reviewers''': Please say whether Milhist should '''Keep''' or '''Demote''' this article. Reviewers should satisfy themselves that the article fails on at least [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/A-Class|one A-class criterion]] before recommending '''Demote''' and should explain their reasons when commenting.

5. Return to the article's talk page and update the link for the last review in the {{ArticleHistory}}.
6. Update the transclusion in the relevant assessment archive page, found by using the "What Links Here" feature.
7. Add {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Name of nominated article}} at the top of the list of A-Class review requests below.

Keeping or demoting

Reviewers should satisfy themselves that the article meets the current military history A-Class criteria ^FAQ. Any demotion comments should specify the criterion/criteria which the article appears to fail.

Closing and archiving

Reviews remain open for a maximum of one calendar month. A project coordinator will close the review and determine either (i) that clear consensus to keep exists or (ii) that the demotion comments reasonably reflect failings to reach the current A-Class standard. Absent consensus, the status quo prevails. To close a review, coordinators should:

1. Add {{subst:archive top}} to the top and {{subst:archive bottom}} to the bottom of the review subpage.
2. Change the A-Class=current in the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner on the article's talk page to either A-Class=pass (keep) or A-Class=fail (demote).
3. Update the {{ArticleHistory}} section at the top of the article's talk page with either kept or demoted.
4. Move the {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Name of nominated article}} from the list of requests below to the current archive page.
5. Remove the article link from the A-Class review list at {{WPMILHIST Announcements}}.
6. If the article was demoted, (i) remove the article name from the list of A-Class articles and (ii) assess the article's new class.
