Welcome to the A-Class review department of WikiProject Animation. The department is where an article that has been listed as a good article (assessed as GA-Class) may be promoted to A-Class, and an article that is at A-Class can be demoted. An A-Class article is defined as one that provides a well-written, reasonably clear and complete description of the topic, as described in How to write a great article. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, with a well-written introduction and an appropriate series of headings to break up the content. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy (peer-reviewed where appropriate). Should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. At the stage where it could at least be considered for featured article status, corresponds to the "Wikipedia 1.0" standard.
If you know of a GA-Class article that meets this criteria, or of an A-Class article that no longer meets this criteria, you can nominate it below. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to a nomination.
To request an A-Class review of an article:
A-Class=current to the {{WikiProject Animation}} project banner at the top of the article's talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax).=== [[Name of nominated article]] === at the top.~~~~).{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Animation/A-Class review/Name of nominated article}} at the top of the list of A-Class review requests below.If an article is nominated a second (or third, and so forth) time, either because it failed a prior nomination, or because it may no longer meet the standards and may thus need to be demoted:
There is no limit on how quickly renominations of failed articles may be made; it is perfectly acceptable to renominate as soon as the outstanding objections from the previous nomination have been satisfied.
Reviewers should keep the criteria for featured articles in mind when supporting or opposing a nomination. However, please note that (unlike actual featured articles) A-Class articles are not expected to fully meet all of the criteria; an objection should indicate a substantive problem with the article. In particular, objections over relatively minor issues of writing style or formatting should be avoided at this stage; a comprehensive, accurate, well-sourced, and decently-written article should qualify for A-Class status even if it could use some further copyediting.
Reviews will be closed after a sufficient time has elapsed. An article will generally be promoted to A-Class if (a) it has garnered at least three endorsements from uninvolved editors, and (b) there are no substantive objections; a nomination with an isolated objection may pass, however, if that objection is not indicative of a major flaw in the article.
To close a review, coordinators should:
{{subst:archive top}} and {{subst:archive bottom}} to the top and bottom of the review subpage, respectively.A-Class=current in the {{WikiProject Animation}} project banner at the top of the article's talk page to either A-Class=pass (if the nomination is successful) or A-Class=fail (if it is not), and update the assessment class if needed.{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Animation/A-Class review/Name of nominated article}} from the list of requests below to the archive page.
