Here, I'll be putting information about various WikiProjects that I'm involved in for my own easy access. This will also serve as a "launchpad" for WikiProject work. This page probably won't be of mush use to you, but feel free to take a look around.. For now, this page will simply be a mish-mash of parts from the WikiProject articles: I'm simply cannabilizing the project pages and taking what I need.

Good articles (shortcut WP:GA) is a list of articles which are well written, broad, referenced, neutral and accurate, beyond those which have been rigorously reviewed and identified as the very best of Wikipedia by the featured article process. As the list should eventually contain many thousands of articles, this project has been formed to assist in the maintenance of the page. Tasks which members of this project may wish to assist with include:


 * 1) Keeping the list at WP:GA in sync with Category:Wikipedia good articles
 * 2) Updating the numbers in the table on WP:GA
 * 3) Sweeping through listed entries to ensure they meet the criteria for listing
 * 4) Reviewing nominations at WP:GAN and adding them to the list if they meet the criteria
 * 5) Encouraging Wikiprojects to review articles for accuracy where expert input is desirable
 * 6) Identifying good content and nominating it to WP:GAN
 * 7) Organizing GAN backlog elimination drives
 * 8) Maintaining and updating the Good Article Collaboration of the week
 * 9) Promoting the Good articles list
 * 10) Reviewing articles listed at WP:GAR and give recommendations for consensus

Templates for use by WP:GA include the following:


 * GA - added to the talk page of listed articles; automatically places them in Category:Wikipedia good articles
 * DelistedGA - added to the talk page of delisted articles. An explanation of why an article has been delisted should always be left as well.
 * DelistedGAbecause - a more subtle version of DelistedGA, with the syntax
 * FailedGA - for articles that fail the self nomination
 * ArticleHistory - combines the features used by the aforementioned templates into one, single template, which is also designed to work with the peer review and featured article processes as well.

 * Unassessed companies articles
 * Unknown importance companies articles

in order to change the Importance scale or Quality level of an article in our banner, do the following:
 * 1) delete the standard WikiProject Companies tag.
 * 2) replace it with . The X should be replaced with whatever importance or quality level is needed.

New, current, and defunct companies should all be tagged and ranked. Some of the companies above are of mid importance, some high, and some top. Just because the final, current company is of top importance (att), does not make all of its predecessors such a level.
