User:EncycloPetey/Model pages

This is a personal project page for organizing and tracking potential pages to serve as style guide models, both for general format and for specific tricky situations. If you have suggestions, I ask that you please make them on the talk page rather than editing the content on this page. --EncycloPetey 02:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Selection criteria:
 * 1) The word must be reasonably common.
 * 2) The word should exist as a single part of speech (when possible).
 * 3) The entry should be fully expanded per the criteria used for Collaboration of the Week.
 * 4) The various definitions should be easy to distinguish from each other (except for advanced entries).

In principle, a good model should have a layout clean enough for an English language learner to understand.
