Hello, and I would like to officially welcome you to this project. This project is very welcoming for new members, including area residents and non-residents. I have provided a simple guide on how pages are tagged and assessed, and set class criteria that is easy to understand.

Current Tasks

 * Reassess articles with new criteria below.
 * Improve stub articles to start articles.

Assessment
To assess a page, you must include the project template, along with the appropriate class level, as explained below. See Template:WikiProject Blackstone Valley for details.

Classes
This project is not part of WP:1.0, however our assessment system is very similar. The classes the project officially uses are stub, start, C, B and A. Grades are given by members of the project, and do not have to be equal with the grade given by other projects. The project has no formal grading process, and reviewers are free to give an article whatever grade they believe is most accurate.

The project also recommends articles for Good article and Featured article status.

Recommendations

 * Stub: "Stub" articles are articles that provide a short introductory paragraph, and maybe an infobox. (e.g. Northbridge High School)
 * Start: "Start" articles are articles that show that some research has been done on the topic. A full section separate from the introduction has been completed. (e.g. East Douglas, Massachusetts)
 * C: "C" articles have multiple sections completed, and are properly cited and formatted. A few images have also been added, to any given section. Unnecessary details have been removed. (e.g. Massachusetts Route 140)
 * B: "B" articles have provided minor details about the article's topic. Images for each section have been added and properly included into the article, and are not thrown into a "gallery" section. Sections are of a proper length for the topic addressed in the article. (e.g. Worcester Regional Airport)
 * GA: "GA" (good article) articles are B articles improved, with citation and related tags resolved. An assessment of "B" is required for recognition.
 * A: "A" articles are very well done, and well structured. Infoboxes have been completed and appropriate lists have been well organized. Sub-sections have been included at a proper length and have been integrated nicely with the rest of the article.
 * FA: "FA" (featured article) articles are A articles improved, with improved grammar and uniform citation styles. An assessment of "A" is required for recognition.
