Revision as of 21:21, 23 September 2007

This page has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors.
Please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared.

This symbolises a Wikipedia 0.7/release version nomination

Here, we determine which entries will compose the next offline Release Version, as part of the overall project of producing a fixed version of Wikipedia. This could be released on CD, DVD, paper, or some combination. Nominations here are ongoing, for whichever version is planned next, and nominations will be moved over to the next version page when it becomes available. Links that have a strikethrough are unavailable/defunct at present. Review has been slow up to this point, because of ongoing offline work on Wikipedia:Version 0.5, but things are speeding up now that it has been released (April 2007).

In order to nominate groups of articles, use the set nominations page.
Featured articles are automatically nominated, there is no need to nominate them here.
Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Core topics are automatically nominated and reviewed on the Core Topics Review page.
Provinces, counties, etc. are reviewed here.

These entries will be selected based on importance and quality.

Nomination categories

Eligibility for inclusion in the next Release Version

See the release criteria. Being a test release, the number of articles is expected to be fairly small.

Entries that are nominated will then be considered for inclusion on releases of Wikipedia the next offline release version of Wikipedia, as outlined below. Previous offline releases include:

Test Version, 2000 articles, released in January 2006.
Wikipedia:Version 0.5 (released in April 2007)

If you nominate something you have worked on, note it as a self-nomination. You may wish to receive feedback from your WikiProject before nominating an article here, or you may wish to list it at Wikipedia:Peer review. If the article is of high quality, you may want to nominate it for Featured article status.

The approval process

The approval process is designed to be simple, as is appropriate for a test release. Approval will simply involve one member of the editorial team reviewing the article using the criteria outlined above. The reviewer must not have been a major contributor to the article. You may sign up as a reviewer for the team here. If there are quality objections raised, the nomination will be removed from this list and archived. Once the objections have been addressed, you are encouraged to renominate the article. Articles deemed by the team to fail only on the criterion of "importance" will be listed at the held nominations page, for consideration in later releases. Articles that are approved will automatically be submitted for nomination at Wikipedia 1.0 (still under development).

Disputes

~~If you disagree the decision to include or exclude an article, please use the disputes page.~~
