We should refer to the Chemistry worklist. This is officially just "proposed" at the moment, but I think it's highly likely to be adopted. Assessments still being done, but already quite a few A & B-Class.

We should refer to the WP Chemicals worklist, which tracks around 380 articles. There is a monthly summary posted here. As of January there were 3 FAs (now 4), 25 A-Class and 87 B-Class.

My own experience (as a chemist) of the 100+ element pages is that they are all usable. For WP1.0 we would probably want the whole lot anyway. Although some articles aren;t perfect, I would judge that none of the element articles is less than B-Class. Walkerma 05:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
