Wikipedia 0.7 is a release version of Wikipedia, to be published on CD/DVD and possibly on paper, coinciding with the end of year holiday period. The aim is to give the benefits of Wikipedia to those people who have access to a computer but not easy or fast access to the Internet.
Much preparation work has been done by the Wikipedia editorial team, who have used a bot to create a shortlist of articles for each wikiproject. The bot's criteria were based on factors like number of hits, and number of links, each article received. The list contains 1133 of the Military history WikiProject's most visited and most linked to articles. They range from featured to start-class and vary considerably in quality.
The purpose of our review is to check that the articles are of suitable quality and are free of templates. By default, the bot will take the latest version of the article but we can instead select better versions, as well as suggesting deletions and additions. The approach we have adopted varies, depending on the class of the article.
The Milhist master list has been divided up into forty-five worksheets each of twenty-five articles. We estimate a worklist will between one and three hours to complete. As time is off the essence, we are aiming to complete the review by Sunday, 28 September, and once it is over, it is likely we will try to work borderline articles up to the requisite quality.
