Hi, and welcome to the Arkansas WikiProject! We are a group of Wikipedia editors who help to improve articles related to Arkansas on Wikipedia.
Looking for somewhere to start? Here is a few suggestions.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or would like to talk about the project in general, feel free to leave a message on the talk page.

I assume you're referring to WikiProject Arkansas. Thanks for joining, by the way. I knew you had an interest in ASU sports in particular and Arkansas stuff in general, so I thought I would invite you to join.
To be honest with you, I just signed up today (Sunday, March 9) myself, and I don't know exactly how things work, either. But somewhere, there are probably some written quality guidelines that the members of WikiProject Arkansas (which has been around since 2006) have voted into existence and/or have adapted from other WikiProjects. Those guidelines probably dictate what requirements a certain article must meet to be Stub-Class, Start-Class, etc.
Better people to ask would be Chetblong or Basketball110. Since they are more or less the leaders of the WikiProject, they are most likely to be able to answer your questions.
I did notice, though, that most of the Arkansas articles have already been assessed, or at least it appears that way. I think the main reason new members are being recruited is not to assess articles (at least not at this time), but to improve them with the ultimate goal of bringing them up to Featured Article status. As those articles are improved, the WikiProject will need to reassess them from time to time. Articles work their way up in terms of classification, from Stub-Class to Start-Class, etc. At some point, as an article approaches Good Article status, I imagine that the Wikipedia community in general (not just the WikiProject Arkansas members) will become involved in assessing the article's quality. I am not 100% sure about all this, but I think I'm more or less correct.
A secondary objective of the WikiProject would be to create new articles on notable subjects where needed. But there are plenty of articles now that need work, and improving those is more likely to be where our help is most wanted.
Sorry I couldn't give you a more exact answer.
If you wish to reply, just reply here; I will check your talk page. Jonneroo (talk) 03:29, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
--LrTiger74 (talk) 03:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC) It didn't exacly answer my question, but thanks for the explanation on that part. I can use all the explanation I can get. I just want people to realize that there is another DI college in Arkansas besides UoA. I don't have anything against them, but when I tell people ASU is DI, they usually say they didn't know and thought they were lower. My dad played football there, and I plan to play football there, too. That's why I want to inform the public as much as possible, and help ASU as much as I can.
Thanks!
--LrTiger74 (talk) 04:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the critisims and the encouragments! What does peacock terms mean? Sorry, and you were the one helping me with the ASU articles weren't you? And I guess you figured out I got a new username, haha.
The images you have uploaded (Image:ConvocationCenter.jpg, Image:MemphisGame.jpg, Image:Indians, close.jpg, Image:Red6.jpg, and Image:Red4.jpg) are photos that are copyrighted by Arkansas State University and should not be uploaded onto Wikipedia. Most photos you find on the internet is copyrighted and the creator of the image has exclusive rights to use it. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others. Under some circumstances, fair use can be claimed to a non-free image should only be used if there is no reasonable expectation that a free image does or ever could exist. All the photos you have uploaded do not meet the criteria to be fair use and thus will be deleted by a bot. I have removed these images from their respective Wikipedia pages. If you have any questions, feel free to respond using my talk page.
Your contributions to the articles are excellent and are sourced, and this is great! Just watch for your grammar and sentence structure and make sure that you follow Wikipedia's guideline as usual. Reorion (talk) 04:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 12:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Arkansas State Red Wolves, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Jons63 (talk) 02:15, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Dr. Dean at red wolves conference.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Thanks for uploading Image:StAte.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:32, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
