Edit Status Guidelines
These are the general guidelines for determining the edit status of entries of periodical entries:
| A | This article contains information on the names and pseudonyms, dates (and location) of birth and death, and major events in the life of the person in question. The article discusses known associates, students, and teachers, as well as religious, social, and/or intellectual affiliations. For prominent teachers or authors, a list of major works is included, which provides links to online versions when available. Ideally, the article also includes a representative picture of the individual. The source of all information is documented. |
| B | The article is lacking some of the information noted in A above, it must be revised for minor style or structural issues, or for mistakes. |
| C | The article is missing most of the information that should be included, or is in need of major editing work |
| Start | The article only contains the most basic information about the individual, and needs much more content to be complete |
