User:R8R/Navalny/To do

This list is supposed to show an approximate order of how the improvement of the article Alexei Navalny should proceed.


 * Research and filling in. Find out more about each section and add more info. In the beginning, stuff like ref formatting and prose quality will not be important. This will include some section reformatting and more. It's important to have some sources in for every fact (even if it will only include Russian sources for a while), even if poorly formatted, right in the very beginning. The most important thing is to define a structure for the article and to fill it using sources, because it might be difficult to find those refs later on. It may have too much text, that is not problem: if the size becomes too big, the article can be contracted later.


 * Check out how better articles are structured. For example, we have Category:FA-Class U.S. Presidents articles. This may give some more tips on prose organization.


 * Sources. after the content is in there, refs must be, where possible, replaced by ones in English. All refs, whether new ones in English or remaining ones in Russian, should be now formatted with {cite smth} or the like. Again, English-language sources may have some more info in.


 * Neutrality. After the text is written, it will be important to leave out any biases I might have introduced. For that, I should either try to find a second opinion (WP:RUSSIA?) or just be double-cautious about the issue. This doesn't, however, mean the story should be uninteresting, it shouldn't be a story of no taste, so it may (or even should) have some non-trivial facts in.
 * Size. If, after the neutrality check, the article is too big, it should be contracted to be just the right size, however difficult that may be.


 * Prose quality. I will require someone for this before the GAN starts.


 * GAN.


 * Peer review.




 * FAC.


 * If successful, yay! If not, things will be clear anyway.
