I have reviewed all the East Sussex and West Sussex geographical stubs, reassessed some as start class, and checked that all are on the List of places in East Sussex and List of places in West Sussex. There are 64 East Sussex stubs remaining, and 108 West Sussex stubs remaining, some of which are quite close to being start class. If you de-stub any, please add them to Wikipedia:The 20,000 Challenge. Cheers! There is also the The European Destubathon in April, for which there are financial rewards.

• I am not a member of this project and do not wish to be, but would ask that the article Wealden iron industry be reassessed and rerated following its recent revision. Peterkingiron 14:46, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Ashurst Wood - I've done a lot of editing to this article and it's currently rated as a stub. It definitely needs reassessing and as I've made a large set of changes it would be more appropriate if somebody else assessed it. Thanks ●BillPP ^{(talk|contribs)} 00:32, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done MortimerCat (talk) 23:37, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Kingston near Lewes has been assessed on the UK Geography Wikiproject, but not Wikiproject Sussex. Would it be a good candidate? Autarch (talk) 20:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kingston was subsequently added. MortimerCat (talk) 12:23, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Hollingbury has been expanded and images added since it was last rated as a stub. Please could you reassess. Hzv5wk (talk) 21:02, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Hassocks is currently unassessed and having a particular interest in the village I would be grateful if someone could have a look at it for me. Many thanks. Paste (talk) 08:50, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Burgess Hill has not been rated in a fairly long time and it would seem that most of the things of the to do list have been done, if not fully to a notably greater extent. Please could you reassess. Curtis31992 (talk) 14:05, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Cowdray House I've just put a significant amount of history into this article, I don't think it is still a stub, as such would be grateful for someone to re-assess it. I've removed the stub assessment so it's currently unassessed. JonEastham (talk) 15:00, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  Has been assessed C. Tony Holkham (Talk) 16:04, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Could Littlehampton Redoubt and Shoreham Redoubt please be reassessed? I have added headings, text, images, references and a bibliography to both pages. Are they still stubs? Thank you. Kinnerton (talk) 20:31, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done.--Charles (talk) 23:12, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• I've just merged three articles into Trotton with Chithurst (the merger was proposed 3 years ago, I thought someone should actually do it!). Can someone please reassess that article to account for the additional content? Thanks. --Tango (talk) 23:55, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  It's now Start class. Tony Holkham (Talk) 16:05, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I am not a member of the wikiproject but would like you to assess whether Jerwood Gallery in Hastings (http://www.jerwoodgallery.org/about/the-gallery) is notable enough to warrant an article. 72.244.206.38 (talk) 22:17, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think almost certainly.--Charles (talk) 21:59, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Just came across this, Sussex is rated as start class with a notice saying that it lacks sufficient references and/or adequate inline citations, yet has 137 inline citations and has multiple, detailed sections. Could this be reassessed? Thanks.  Seagull123  Φ  19:55, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Could someone look at Fulking - I think it's moved beyond a stub, and is now perhaps a 'B'. Topo122 (talk) 16:53, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  It's now C-class. Tony Holkham (Talk) 16:03, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• History of Sussex is currently listed as C-class, but I feel like it should be much higher than that - what do others think?  Seagull123  Φ  19:58, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done.----Dorkinglad (talk) 19:17, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article lacks sufficient references and/or adequate inline citations

(the |class= parameter can also be set to Start or C). This project can only rate an article Stub, Start or C. Higher grades involve external input such as peer reviews.

• Stub - An article with a single line or paragraph.
• Start - An article that has grown beyond the single paragraph, and has started to be split into sections.
• C - An article that appears to finished growing. There are no obvious gaps in information, and there are plenty of citations.

When creating a new banner, the importance will probably be low (possibly mid), on the assumption that all important articles will have already been included. The unref=yes should be removed if there a are no referencing issues in the article.

If the article is already associated with another project, multiple projects may be listed using the {{WikiProjectBannerShell}} template.
