Guide

Grades of article

Class	Criteria	Reader's experience	Editing suggestions	Example
Featured	The article has been selected as a Featured Article, as selected by Imperial Archives administrators. It is: Well-written, featuring engaging and readable prose of a professional standard Comprehensive, without the omission of known major facts or details, and gives readers appropriate context to understand without requiring they look elsewhere Well-researched, being a thorough and representative accounting, verified with high-quality sources and with citations if needed Tone-appropriate, presenting a standard neutral encyclopaedic overview. As long as it needs to be. It focuses on its topic without irrelevant detail, but also contains everything it needs to give the reader a complete understanding of its topic. Structurally, it has: An concise introductory sentence or short paragraph, summarizing the topic and indicating what the reader will see more of. A table of contents with appropriate sections, breaking the article content into manageable, logical chunks. Correct and complete use of relevant templates in place of plain text when possible, ie. service history templates instead of plain text lists. Images which correspond to the article and to the text near which they are placed, with captions whereever possible. Ideally these should be hosted on the GE's art server.	Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information.	No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible but should not be prioritised over pages requiring more significant refactoring.	TBA
Excellent	The article meets all the criteria for Good class, and is also essentially content-complete in the judgement of Imperial Archives administrators. It could be taken to Featured Article class though further polishing of the prose, style tweaks, additional images or the like.	Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject would typically find nothing wanting.	Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style problems may need solving.	TBA
Good	The article meets all the criteria set out in Imperial Archives:A Good Article.	Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (though not necessarily equalling) the quality of a professional publication.	Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing featured article on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing.	TBA
Fair	The article is substantial but is still missing important content or contains irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup.	Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study.	Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and solve cleanup problems.	TBA
Stub	A very basic description of the topic. Majorly incomplete, with little meaningful content.	Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition. Readers probably see insufficiently developed features of the topic and may not see how the features of the topic are significant.	Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. The best solution for a Stub-class article to step up to a Fair-class article is to expand on those areas which give context to why the topic is significant, alongside improving the prose quality.
