DISCLAIMER: NOTHING HERE IS ANY SORT OF OFFICIAL OR FINISHED DOCUMENT OF ANY KIND'

Possible set of rubrics or criteria which might be suggested for Approval help:

  • An Approved entry should be readable, engaging, and informative.
  • An Approved entry should be free of any obvious grammatical errors (bearing in mind that we do not want to eliminate stylistic touches,

simply make sure the prose scans well).

  • An Approved entry should be clearly formatted, with illustrations in

places where needed, and at a size that enabled the text to be followed easily

  • An Approved entry should offer, when appropriate, sources for

further reading, and links to useful and reasonably reliable external information.

  • An Approved article need not be absolutely complete or encompassing

of every possible aspect of its subject. It should, however, be at least a 'step in the right direction,' giving the basic facts and able to stand independently. There will always be room for further refinement!
