How this Article Drive is Sorted

 * Above this text is our timeline, which shows what dates we're expected to reach these "quality grades".


 * Below are the criteria for the grade ahead of us. For example, if we reach GA class, I'll type in what criteria we'll need to work on and what we have already accomplished.

My Opinion
Why the speed up? It's because now, with the memory refreshed, now people know to edit it. Thanks to Msr69r's edits and my all in one pack on April 10, it seems we have started this drive pretty well. Now, the Frost Bank Tower is going for the pie, Featured Article. I've got all the nomination processes set up, so if you want to review this page, click 'leave comments' in the very first box of this talk page. You can post your concerns there.

Come and Help! How You Can Improve the Article
Anyone can help with this article drive! (That includes you, IP address accounts!) Make sure you are doing the right thing when you edit by clicking the Show Preview button to make sure you did it right before saving the page. Do not try to vandalize this page. It's worthless anyways, since its probably going to be reverted and you might get blocked. Right now there are 3 ways you can help edit this page:


 * Use the FA reviewers comments below in the nomination page. That should help you get an idea of what to edit.
 * Check other already FA building articles. They're usually listed in the Art and Architecture section. You can kind of model or add any information based on the other FA building articles.
 * Know a site that has valuable information about the Frost Bank Tower that we haven't listed in the references? Contact me at my talk page. I'll take advantage of that site and add the new valuable. However, don't give me a website where the information there is already covered here.

The Next Step: B
Criteria: The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary. Now: This article has about a reference on every paragraph, and about 8/10 of every sentence, so this is checked.

Criteria: The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions and/or inaccuracies. Now: Our article covers the topic reasonably. We have many references, meaning this is as accurate as possible. And nothing has been removed except for the shifting of facts to make it not plagiarize a source. This is checked.

Criteria: The article has a define structure. Now: Our article is separated into different categories and ie. info from the Amenities section is not placed in the history section. This is checked

Criteria: The article is reasonably well-written. Now: The article does not contain grammatical and spelling errors, but about 6/10 of sentences do not flow and are choppy.

Criteria: The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Now: This article contains an infobox located in the right place, and other pictures are located in the Gallery section with other references and links at the bottom.

Criteria: The article presents its content in an appropriately accessible way. Now: Our article has internal links at architectural related terms. So all we need to work on is the choppy sentences.

GA
Woo Hoo! We're in B status now. After erasing the choppy sentence issue and added flowing ones, we are set. Expertise level of information is encyclopedic gold to this article now, because we have references to every fact here, almost every site on the Top 10 most read websites on this article have been covered.

Looking at GA criteria, I'm not sure if we qualify, so I'll submit it to GA nominations and see what happens. What criteria I'm sure we passed are:


 * Broad Coverage
 * Neutral
 * Stable
 * Illustrations

GA Reviewers

 * H1nkles has reviewed this page with a second opinion. TheAustinMan (talk) 21:48, 16 April 2010 (UTC) I have used his review thoughts and comments to improve the article. I thank him for his support and Long Live this Article! TheAustinMan (talk) 21:48, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

A-Class
After working with H1nkles for 14 days, we finally got the article done for GA. It's GA, and I'm not kidding. If we're trying to get this to A-class. We better get working with some expertise level of information. I'm going to nominate this for peer review before I either do a basic A-class review or a formal A-class review. Now, could someone else also help with the article? I've been going solo and pushed this article through 3 levels. TheAustinMan (talk) 22:05, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

FA-Class
I've nominated the article in hopes of reaching FA before the goal. You can help with the article based on the reviewer's conceerns at the Frost Bank Tower nomination page. TheAustinMan (talk) 23:15, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

A Special Thanks To
We congratulate all contributors to the Frost Bank Tower and the success of this article drive! TheAustinMan (talk) 23:15, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
