{{grading scheme/table|The article must meet the [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|good article criteria]]:
 
{{Wikipedia:Good article criteria}} }}
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (although not equalling) the quality of a professional encyclopedia.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article]] on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing.
 
| style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | [[Alex Raymond]]<br><span style="font-size:90%">(as of October 2009)</span>
 
|-
 
| {{B-Class|category=Category:B-Class Comics articles}}<br /><small>{{tl|B-Class}}</small>
 
| The article is mostly complete, without major issues, but requires some further work to reach [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|Good Article standards]]. B-Class articles should meet the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Assessment/B-Class criteria|five B-Class criteria]]:
 
{{grading scheme/table|{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Assessment/B-Class criteria|raw=yes}} }}
 
| style="font-size:90%" | No reader should be left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed, and expert knowledge is increasingly needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should also be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of style|manual of style]].
 
| style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | [[Garfield]]<br><span style="font-size:90%">(as of October 2009)</span>
 
|-
 
| {{C-Class|category=Category:C-Class Comics articles}}<br /><small>{{tl|C-Class}}</small>
 
| The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains a lot of irrelevant material.  The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant issues or require substantial [[Wikipedia:Cleanup|cleanup]].
 
{{grading scheme/table|The article is better developed in style, structure and quality than "Start"-Class, but fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements; need editing for clarity, balance or flow; or contain policy violations such as  [[WP:NPOV|bias]] or [[Wikipedia:Trivia sections|trivia]]. Articles on fictional topics are likely to be marked as C-Class if they are written from an [[WP:FICT|in-universe perspective]]. }}
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and address [[Wikipedia:Cleanup|cleanup]] issues.
 
| style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | [[2000 AD (comics)]]<br><span style="font-size:90%">(as of October 2009)</span>
 
|-
 
| {{Start-Class|category=Category:Start-Class Comics articles}}<br /><small>{{tl|Start-Class}}</small>
 
| An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and, most notably, lacks adequate reliable sources.
 
{{grading scheme/table|The article has a usable amount of good content, but it is weak in many areas, usually in referencing. Quality of the prose may be distinctly unencyclopedic, and [[Wikipedia:Manual of style|MoS]] compliance non-existent; but the article should satisfy fundamental content policies such as [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]] and [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|BLP]], and provide ''enough'' sources to establish [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability]]. No Start-Class article should be in any danger of being [[Wikipedia:Speedy deletion criteria#Articles|speedily deleted]].}}
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Provides some meaningful content, but the majority of readers will need more.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Provision of references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] should be prioritised; the article will also need substantial improvements in content and organisation.
 
| style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | [[Q Force]]<br><span style="font-size:90%">(as of October 2009)</span>
 
|-
 
| {{Stub-Class|category=Category:Stub-Class Comics articles}}<br /><small>{{tl|Stub-Class}}</small>
 
| A very basic description of the topic.
 
{{grading scheme/table|The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to become a meaningful article.  It is usually very short, but can be of any length if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible. }}
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. 
 
| style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | [[Action Girl Comics]] <br><span style="font-size:90%">(as of October 2009)</span>
 
|-
 
| {{List-Class|category=Category:List-Class Comics articles}}<br /><small>{{tl|List-Class}}</small>
 
| Meets the criteria of a [[WP:SAL|Stand-alone List]], which is a page that contains primarily a list.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized.
 
|  style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | [[List of comic books]] <br><span style="font-size:90%">(as of October 2009)</span>
 
|-
 
| {{Redirect-Class|category=Category:Redirect-Class Comics articles}}<br /><small>{{tl|Redirect-Class}}</small>
 
| Any [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] in the article namespace.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | A redirect takes reader to another article relevant to the article they wanted.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Ensure article is still redirect, otherwise re-assess.
 
|  style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | [[Martha Kent]] <br><span style="font-size:90%">(as of October 2009)</span>
 
|-
 
| {{Disambig-Class|category=Category:Disambig-Class Comics articles}}<br /><small>{{tl|Disambig-Class}}</small>
 
| Is any [[WP:DAB|disambiguation]] page.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Serves to distinguish article titles that occur when a single term can be associated with more than one topic.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Pay particular attention to the proper naming of disambiguation articles, they often do not need "(disambiguation)" appended to the title.
 
| style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | [[DC Universe (disambiguation)]] <br><span style="font-size:90%">(as of October 2009)</span>
 
|-
 
| {{Category-Class|category=Category:Category-Class Comics articles}}<br /><small>{{tl|Cat-Class}}</small>
 
| Is any [[WP:CAT|category]].
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Categories (along with other features like cross-references, lists, and infoboxes) help users find information, even if they don't know that it exists or what it's called.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Be aware not to [[Wikipedia:Overcategorization|over-categorise]] and to be careful of maintaining a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] when creating or filling categories. Make decisions about the structure of categories and subcategories that make it easy for users to browse through similar articles.
 
|  style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | [[:Category:Comics stubs]]
 
|-
 
| {{Template-Class|category=Category:Template-Class Comics articles}}<br /><small>{{tl|Template-Class}}</small>
 
| Is any type of [[WP:TEMPLATE|template]]. The most common types of template used in the WikiProject are [[WP:IBT|infoboxes]] and [[WP:NAVI|navboxes]].
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Serves different purposes depending upon the type of template.  Infoboxes go at the upper right of a page and are a way of providing easy access to important pieces of introductory infomation about the subject. Navboxes normally go across the very bottom of a page, and are for the purpose of uniting a group of related articles into an easily accessible format for inclusion on every page listed in the navbox.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Beware of too many different templates, as well as templates that give either too little, too much, or too specialized information.
 
|  style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | [[Template:WikiProject Comics]]
 
|-
 
| {{Portal-Class|category=Category:Portal-Class Comics articles}}<br /><small>{{tl|Portal-Class}}</small>
 
| Is any page in the [[Wikipedia:Portal|portal namespace]].
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Portals are useful entry-points to Wikipedia content.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Editors need to ensure the portal is kept updated and displays properly, updating news sections and looking out for red links.
 
style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | [[Portal:Comics]]
 
|-
 
| {{File-Class|category=Category:File-Class Comics articles}}<br /><small>{{tl|File-Class}}</small>
 
| Tagged page is an [[Wikipedia:Images|image]].
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Images are used to help explain articles by providing examples of style, lay-out, logo, or other typical visual aspects. Most comics images are [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] and should be used sparingly. Public domain or Creative Commons / GFDL licensed images can be used more freely.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Editors need to ensure that images have correct licenses, fair use rationales (where applicable), and are only used in articles for which they have such rationale. Fair use images should not be used as pure decoration.
 
| style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | [[:File:John Byrne.JPG]]
 
|-
 
| {{NA-Class|category=Category:NA-Class Comics articles}}<br /><small>{{tl|NA-Class}}</small>
 
| Is not an article, and fits no other classification.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Probably not useful to any casual reader, these are typically only [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] pages.
 
| style="font-size:90%" | Look out for mis-classified articles. Currently many NA-class articles need to be re-classified.
