[Cz-editcouncil] Definition of "developed" changed

[Larry Sanger]

All,

I am submitting for "approval by acclamation" the following small change to
[[CZ:The Article Checklist]].  The definition of "developed" (status=1 in
the checklist) used to read as follows:

Developed article: complete or nearly so. Note that this is reserved only
for articles that appears to be nearing a completed length. Length is the
main criterion of a "developed" article; we do not require people filling
out the checklist to be expert to know if the article is of high quality, or
even to read the article. Note: an exception is lengthy articles sourced
from Wikipedia that have not been changed very much; these are not
"developed" but "developing," even if they are no longer "external" articles
(see below).

It now reads:

Developed article: complete or nearly so. The two main criteria of a
"developed" article are coverage of all topics the article "should" cover,
as well as something close to a "suitable" length expected for an approved
article. All this is (for now) in the opinion of someone who knows the
subject, not necessarily an editor.
Note: an exception is lengthy articles sourced from Wikipedia that have not
been changed very much; these are not "developed" but "developing," even if
they are no longer "external" articles (see below). For a Wikipedia-sourced
article to be "developed," it must have been entirely gone over by (a)
Citizen(s), and the Citizen(s) must say that they have done all or nearly
all the work needed for it to be approved.
