Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia/Assessment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the assessment department of the Wikipedia WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia-related articles (for scope, see the WikiProject page). While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Wikipedia}} banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Wikipedia articles by quality and Category:Wikipedia articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

Frequently asked questions

[edit]
See also the general assessment FAQ
1. What is the purpose of the article ratings?
The rating system allows the project to monitor the quality of articles in our subject areas, and to prioritize work on these articles. It is also utilized by the Wikipedia 1.0 program to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content. Please note, however, that these ratings are primarily intended for the internal use of the project, and do not necessarily imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.
2. How do I add an article to the WikiProject?
Just add {{WikiProject Wikipedia}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
3. Someone put a {{WikiProject Wikipedia}} template on an article, but it doesn't seem to be within the project's scope. What should I do?
Because of the large number of articles we deal with, we occasionally make mistakes and add tags to articles that shouldn't have them. If you notice one, feel free to remove the tag, and optionally leave a note on the project talk page (or directly with the person who tagged the article).
4. Who can assess articles?
Any member of WikiProject Wikipedia is free to add—or change—the rating of an article. Editors who are not participants in this project are also welcome to assess articles, but should defer to consensus within the project in case of procedural disputes.
5. How do I rate an article?
Check the quality scale and select the level that best matches the state of the article; then, follow the instructions below to add the rating to the project banner on the article's talk page. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process; this is documented in the assessment scale.
6. Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments?
Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
7. What if I don't agree with a rating?
You can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process; this is documented in the assessment scale.
8. Aren't the ratings subjective?
Yes, they are somewhat subjective, but it's the best system we've been able to devise. If you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!
9. What if I have a question not listed here?
If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department; for any other issues, you can go to the main project discussion page.

Quality assessments

[edit]

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Wikipedia}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class Wikipedia articles)  FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Wikipedia articles)  A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Wikipedia articles)  GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Wikipedia articles) B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Wikipedia articles) C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Wikipedia articles) Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Wikipedia articles) Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Wikipedia articles)  FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Wikipedia articles) List

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:

Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class Wikipedia articles) Category
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class Wikipedia articles) Disambig
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class Wikipedia articles) Draft
File (for files and timed text; adds pages to Category:File-Class Wikipedia articles) File
Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class Wikipedia articles) Portal
Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class Wikipedia articles) Project
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds pages to Category:Redirect-Class Wikipedia articles) Redirect
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class Wikipedia articles) Template
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Wikipedia articles) NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Wikipedia articles) ???

Importance assessment

[edit]

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Wikipedia}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Wikipedia|importance=???}}

The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):

Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Wikipedia articles)  Top 
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Wikipedia articles)  High 
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Wikipedia articles)  Mid 
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Wikipedia articles)  Low 
NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance Wikipedia articles)  NA 
??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance Wikipedia articles)  ??? 

The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to students of Wikipedia.

Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country or region in which they hold said notability. Thus, topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated.

Requesting an assessment

If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below.

  • Requesting reassessment of Igorot revolt. I tried my best to bring it out of stub class at the very least, but I'm very aware that it needs more work done. NyanThousand (talk) 13:49, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    checkY Done: reassessed as a Start class. I recommend you add an image, map, or graphic on the article as all the copyright is expired and more citations if possible. Then it can be assessed as a C class article. FloridaMan21 (talk) 16:43, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Requesting assessment of Witness J. I have one question about sourcing I've included on the talk page but other than the one claim I'm happy with where the article is. 10:55, 24 July 2024 (UTC)VerneDurand (talk)
    checkY Done: reassessed as a C class. The article is good how it is considering the anonymity of Witness J. 12:38, 24 July 2024 (UTC) FloridaMan21 (talk)
  • Requesting reassessment of Whot! from C to B-class. I‘ve added the section: English rules. This completes the two different Whot versions that exist. Added pictures and added archived inline citations throughout the article. According to the last assessment, this was missing for the article to be a B-class. Thanks for your help. Wikinwg. 12:45, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    ☒N Not Done: The article needs just a little bit more citations and needs to be little bit more chunky. It's extremely close. As soon as this is done, I will reassess it as a B Class Article FloridaMan21 (talk) 00:15, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Georgeykiwi  Done content-wise it's a B-class in my opinion, I rated it "C" only because many of the references are dead, making verification difficult. If you rescue them, please ping me and I'll up the rating. Broc (talk) 11:34, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Broc i have fixed all of the dead links! thank you :) George (talk) 06:31, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I would like a reassessment of its importance. I believe it fits the criteria high, as the page is about a world-renowned pianist. Thanks EleniXDD (talk) 09:18, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - @CanadianSingh1469, for now, I gave a C-class initial assessment. The Rater assessment tool predicts 90-percent as B-Class article. On article's Talk, I added the "B-class review" checklist to start that evaluation. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 12:51, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests from June 2023
[edit]
@Alfie66:, the B-Class review from 30 November 2016‎ mentions the unsourced section (Dealing with depth). Possibly find a published instruction book/manual to cite, or remove that content. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 16:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is it seems. I haven't seen an updated rating on the page in the last 10 months the request has been up. Thank you! Pastelitodepapa (talk) 19:07, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am requesting a review of sections 2-7 of Chinese Legalism. I am not requesting a review of sections beyond this, as I have not much worked on and reviewed the sections beyond this, they are older. I am only requesting a review of the writing, concept, the content, the organization. As to the sourcing, the sourcing should be there, but my sources have become disjointed in places with rewriting, I am working on reconfirming and properly organizing them, which can be seen in some places. And I would of course have to introduce additional source content.FourLights (talk) 16:22, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
     Done Upgraded assessment from C to B. Ktkvtsh (talk) 16:06, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Assessment requested by FourLights, and article history shows considerable updates. JoeNMLC (talk) 15:38, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not specifically require one unless you only wish to review small content. The article is under construction. I have not worked as much last week, I am under the weather. I must gradually make a complete review of the concept of wuwei.FourLights (talk) 19:30, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Requesting reassessment for Wadi el-Hudi. [2] It is was rated as a Stub-class, but is not substantially revised in quality, perhaps to a C-class
  • Requesting reassessment for Nikki Budzinski. This was the version assessed as start-class in May. I think it has improved in quality, perhaps to a C-class, with edits from myself and others, but more importantly it is not low-importance anymore: there are 17 US representatives from Illinois.
