Templates

Any templates used by or applicable to the project. (Project banner, infoboxes, navboxes, userboxes, barnstars).

Tagging articles

Specifying the article class quality (e.g. stub, start, b, etc..) and the importance (e.g. top, high, mid, low) will help us keep track of articles that need the most improvement.

Stub sorting

These templates can be placed at the end of articles to help categorize articles that need some work. 'Stubs' are articles that have just a few sentences and need expansion.

Barnstar

An award that can be placed at another user's talk for improving articles.

Articles

Most popular articles

Hot Articles

Review and assessment

Assessment

Adopted from WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology statistics page. The standard system on wikipedia is for each article to be assigned two grades: one for completeness and another for significance. These grades as assigned to talk page. If you have improved an article, you may adjust the entry in the template yourself, or you may simply put a remark in the talk page that improvements have been done.

Quality scale

Class is determined by how well written an article is based on completeness, clarity and referencing. Articles typically are slowly improved up the levels until they reach A-Class, at which point they go through a more thorough review process with strict criteria to become Good Articles (GA) and Featured Articles (FA).

FA — Among the best articles that Wikipedia has to offer. These articles have been through an extensive review process to meet the highest standards.
GA — Articles that have been reviewed and meet the good article standards.
A — Excellent articles of a length suitable for the subject that provide a well-written, reasonably clear and complete description of the topic.
B — Articles that contain most of the necessary material but have significant gaps, missing elements or references.
C — Articles that are missing important content, contains irrelevant material, or are poorly referenced.
Start — Articles that have a meaningful amount of good content, but are still weak in many areas, possibly lacking a key element such as a standard infobox.
Stub — Articles that are either very short or rough collections of information that will need much work.

Importance scale

Article significance is based loosely on how aware the ICANN Community is of the topic, and therefore how likely they are to consult ICW.

Top — Subjects that are first closely examined in high school or earlier or that receive significant attention in the media.
High — Subjects that are generally examined at university or are briefly mentioned at the high school level.
Mid — Subjects that are examined at later years of university courses.
Low — Obscure subjects that are important to researchers in the specific field.

+=== Peer review ===
-.VOTE and .VOTO reduce confusion with domain names and create an easily recognizable Internet space where voters can find reliable information regarding governments, current elected officials, and candidates seeking public office at all levels.
+== Categories ==
-<ref>[https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/1582 New gTLD Application] Retrieved 03/6/2015</ref>
+* Add _____ to the categories on your userpage.
-==Registration Policy==
+== Resources ==
-===Eligibility===
-<!--T:7-->
-Registrants must have a bona fide intention to use the domain name, during the current/relevant election cycle, in connection with a clearly identified political/democratic process at the time of registration.  Warehousing domain names for future speculative use, or registering a domain name to principally block the bona fide registration and use by a third party is expressly prohibited.<ref>[http://get.vote/vote_registration_policy Registration Policy] Retrieved 04 June 2015</ref>
-===Name Selection=== <!--T:8-->
-<!--T:9-->
-There must be a clear and logical nexus between the activities of the Registrant within the political/democratic system and the domain name being registered. Registrants shall have a bona fide intention to use the domain name in promoting, developing, educating, or engaging in commerce regarding the political system. Domain names that are likely to deceive, disparage or cause a material detriment to the .VOTE brand, its customers or Internet users are explicitly prohibited, e.g., www.ihateCandidateX.vote, www.yourOpponentsName.vote, etc. The default allocation mechanism in connection with Standard Registrations are First-Come, First-Serve. However, the Registry Operator reserves the right to utilize alternative allocation mechanisms.<ref>[http://get.vote/vote_registration_policy Registration Policy] Retrieved 04 June 2015</ref>
-===Proxy/Private Registration=== <!--T:10-->
-<!--T:11-->
-.VOTE requires that accurate Registrant data is available in the WHOIS at all times. Therefore, Proxy / Private Registration is not allowed in .VOTE registrations.<ref>[http://get.vote/vote_registration_policy Registration Policy] Retrieved 04 June 2015</ref>
-===Compliance=== <!--T:12-->
-In addition to standard  anti-abuse policy, the registry has an audit mechanism in place to protect the integrity of the .VOTE brand and the interest of .VOTE customers and internet. There are processes in place where non-compliant names can be reported, investigated and removed promptly, when warranted. Abuse reports can be emailed to [mailto:abuse@afilias.info abuse@afilias.info].
-==Delegation and Availability== <!--T:13-->
-On November 21, 2013 [[Monolith Registry LLC|Monolith]] received a [[Registry Agreement]] signed by [[ICANN]] for .vote after passing the [[Initial Evaluation]].<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/registries-date Registry Agreements, ICANN.org] Retrieved 02 Dec 2013</ref> It was subsequently delegated to the [[Root Zone]] of the [[DNS]] on 2 March, 2014, completing the successful application for the string.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings Delegation]</ref> The [[Sunrise Period]] was held from January 13, 2015 through February 12, 2015. General Availability opened on February 17, 2015.
-==Applications== <!--T:14-->
-<!--T:15-->
-The winning applicant, [[Monolith Registry LLC]] is a venture backed by [[Afilias]]. The application was in contention with [[Donuts]]. In June 2013, the contention was settled in a private auction, for an undisclosed amount. This was the first case of a [[gTLD Auction|private gTLD auction]] leading to a withdrawal of an application. The auction was facilitated by [[Innovative Auctions]].

-==Registrant Usage== <!--T:16-->
-<!--T:17-->
-The .VOTE domain is intended for use in the political sphere, primarily in relation to elections. As stated in the Applications, the target registrants are governmental organizations, political candidates, political action committees (PACs), political committees, and other registrants who meet the domains specific eligibility requirement.<ref>[https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/1582 New gTLD Application]</ref>
-===State Usage=== <!--T:18-->
-As of August 2015, eight states had registered .vote domains:
-*Alabama
-*Arizona
-*Connecticut
-*Colorado (not live)
-*Iowa
-*Louisiana
-*Rhode Island
-*Washington
-<!--T:19-->
-Seven of these eight states (excluding Colorado) have live sites, where voter information can be found. All of these states have registered [[.voto]] domains as well.
-===Presidential Candidates=== <!--T:20-->
-<!--T:21-->
-Additionally, a few of the political candidates in the 2016 Presidential Primary have adopted .vote. It has been promoted as a way to limit the impact of the cybersquatting that has become common in general elections. Candidates such as Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Carly Fiorina have active sites registered under the .vote domain.<ref>[https://www.afilias.info/ar/node/3436 Afilias Blog]</ref>
