White HouseMay 17, 2006BMany short sections give a "hodgepodge" feel. Air Force OneOctober 12, 2004ANeeds cleanup. Marine OneJuly 20, 2006StartExpansion Needed. George WashingtonMay 16, 2006AHas good basic information, but needs serious cleanup as to undersourcing and bad statements to be removed. John AdamsMay 17, 2006AGood, but a few short sections. Thomas JeffersonMay 17, 2006GANeeds to be NPOVified towards the bottom and shortened. James MadisonMay 19, 2006BNeeds more information. James MonroeMay 19, 2006BNeeds more life info.

William Henry HarrisonMay 19, 2006BCould use expansion, but will still be on the short side. John TylerMay 19, 2006BRed links and lists make up too much for the article. Needs more images and actual text. James PolkFebruary 27, 2005FADate is date featured. Zachary TaylorMay 19, 2006BNot enough meat, poor visual formatting with huge pictures. Millard FillmoreMay 19, 2006BNeeds more work in describing graphs and needs major expansion. Franklin PierceMay 19, 2006BNeeds expansion. James BuchananMay 19, 2006BNeeds expansion and probably some NPOVifying: if we're going to trash him , do it with sources. Abraham LincolnMarch 17, 2007FAFormer featured article. Andrew JohnsonMay 17, 2006BNot doing well; needs more expansion Ulysses S. GrantMay 20, 2006ANeeds expansion under presidency and a few general tweaks.

Theodore RooseveltOctober 13, 2005FADate is date featured. William TaftMay 20, 2006ANeeds better organizing, formatting, subsections for the presidency, and some more good text or source won't hurt (I've promoted this to A Class - I think it's better than most of the Bs - Sam15:14, 26 May 2006 (UTC)). Woodrow WilsonMay 20, 2006BNeeds section on private life, otherwise very good. Going over text wouldn't hurt, either. Warren HardingMay 20, 2006BReferences! Inline notes! And perhaps some NPOVing is needed. Calvin CoolidgeMarch 3, 2007FADate is date featured. Herbert HooverMay 20, 2006BThe info is there, it just needs to be presented well.

Collaborations
The current Presidental Collaborationsare:Refine: George WashingtonShorten: Harry S. TrumanExpand: Martin Van Buren
This COTW is organized by WikiProject U.S. Presidents. Every week, three different articles from a pool assessed with Version 1.0 standards are chosen. Some articles (usually B-Class) need to be expanded with more information. Others (usually A-Class) need to be shortened using summary style (try not to delete good content, just move it). A few (FAs and a few A-Class) just need to be refined and generally tweaked, often before a featured article candidacy.
The articles are chosen using the comments made during the assessment. There is no formal bureaucratic way of choosing them, there's no point templating their talk pages over it, and they are not done by week but by need. For instance, an article being evaluated for featured status may stay under the "refine" slot as long as it is a candidate. The color scheme above is meant to generally illustrate the quality of the article, but it's not binding. It does not change when the articles change.
