Its easy to classify if you follow this ready reckoner:<br><br>Stub - one sentance to one/two paras<br>Start - more than two paras<br>C - has lead &amp; structure, must have infobox if applicable, must have image if available<br>
B - developed a structure, has referencing, reasonably complete in content, checked for NPOV, No OR.<br><br>After this, one cannot self-assess.<br>GA - needs to undergo GAN process by any experienced user<br>A - Needs to Undergo A class review/peer review (usually after GA). <br>
FA - Needs to undergo FAC from panel of experienced FAC examining editors<br><br>GA deals with major issues of MOS &amp; 5 principles, A Class with content, sources, correctness, completeness. So A Class is done en route to FAC and after GA. You can do A Class directly after B Class &amp; take it to FA without going through GA if you wish.<br>
<br>Hope this helps, Noopur<br><br clear="all">Warm regards,<br><br>Ashwin Baindur<br>------------------------------------------------------<br>

A Class cannot exist without a formal peer review process. In the absence of participation, we cannot award this unless meaningful peer review takes place. <br><br>Stick to Stub, Start, C, B, GA, FA.<br><br clear="all">Warm regards,<br>

Hiya,<br><br>The number of unassessed articles on WikiProject India currently stands at more than 18,000! Im wondering if there is an active task force or even a single member of the project that is dealing with these assessments? (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Unassessed-Class_India_articles_of_Unknown-importance" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Unassessed-Class_India_articles_of_Unknown-importance</a>)<br>








<br>A similar note has been left on the India noticeboard, as it seems no one has assessed articles for some time for there to be such a massive build up of backlog.<br><br>Kind Regards,<br> 		 	   		  </div></div>
