My pics were unfortunatly deleted, let me know if you are interested, I'll fwd them you for uploading, Cheers Wattys.

Assessing articles
Aha, as far as Santalum acuminatum, nobody had gotten round to upgrading it in a while. :)

Here is a wikiproject asssessment page - WikiProject_Birds/Assessment - that gives a rough example of how it goes. And here is the main page discussing assessment --> Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment.

I use it as a guide more than anything else, so that a bot can run through later and give a good overview such as this - WikiProject_Birds/Assessment - for the prids wikiproject.

Etiquette varies - I happily self rate anything I do up to a C, or sometimes B, but for GA, A and FA there are external review processes. A I have never used. I find the beauty of GA and FA as 'stable points' - good for high-traffic articles which erode over time from passers-by adding or removing material willy-milly. Have a read :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

PS: I just chekced - there is one for plants as well --> WikiProject_Plants/Assessment Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:54, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 2009 Vanuatu earthquakes


The article 2009 Vanuatu earthquakes has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * 'WikiProject Earthquakes is not documenting insignificant events like this one, either as standalone articles or'' as list entries. Our efforts are instead being focused on creating complete, interesting, and encyclopedic articles that require significant coverage. This one fails WP:EVENT and our own notability guidelines because of the following concerns:


 * Low intensity (IV (Light))
 * No injuries, deaths, or damage
 * No papers from the scientific community
 * Only a small percentage of the 58 M7 or greater events that occurred between 1909 and 2001 were notable. This sequence seems to fall into the same category.

This USGS entry for the event tells part of the story:


 * M7.7 - Vanuatu – United States Geological Survey'''

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
