Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations/Cities Review

This page is designed to facilitate the nomination and review process for articles on cities for Wikipedia:Release Version (V0.7), it is a test CD release designed to pave the way for Wikipedia:Version 1.0.

This page allows articles on cities to bypass the general V0.7 nomination page, going straight from this page to the main Version 0.7 page once approved.

[edit] Criteria

The criteria for importance and quality apply. But as countries, these all pass on importance. For quality, articles should be B-Class or above.

[edit] Review process

• Reviews should only be done by members of the review team (if you want to help sign up here).
• The reviewer should not have been a significant contributor to the article under review.
• After an article has been reviewed, the following process is carried out.

[edit] Pass

1. "Strikeout" the article name on this page, using <s> and </s>.
2. Place the {{V0.7|class=XX|category=Geography}} template on its talk page. See {{V0.7}} for details of classes and categories (which may not be the same as the categories on this page).
3. List the article on Wikipedia:Release Version under the appropriate section.

[edit] Fail on quality

If the article fails to meet the criteria because of quality problems:

1. Consider requesting a cleanup of the article using cleanup tags or requests on the talk page.
2. Consider nominating the article for the article improvement drive.
3. Consider contacting the relevant Country WikiProject and/or Regional Notice Board.
4. Consider indicating a clear reason on the article's talk page.
