Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of the Canada WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Canada related articles. 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 project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Canada-related articles by quality and Category:Canada-related articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

Frequently asked questions

 * How can I get my article rated? : Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
 * Who can assess articles? : Any member of the Canada WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article.
 * 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.
 * 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. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article again.
 * Aren't the ratings subjective? : Yes, they are, 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!

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.

Importance assessment
Note that the four city projects have their own importance scales. To rate the importance of an article for a city project, use the parameters |toronto-importance=???, |montreal-importance=???, |vancouver-importance=???, or |ottawa-importance=???.

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 add it to the bottom of the following list.


 * Fleet of the Royal Canadian Navy has been significantly upgraded. Please assess for A-class Robert Brukner (talk) 19:00, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I've rewritten the article on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, and am hoping to bring it through to Featured Article status. Please assess for A-class. Cheers, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 00:33, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * All the GO Transit line aricles (LW,MI,KI,BR,RH,ST,LE) should be reassessed. They've been much improved since they were all rated as start-class. Username6892 14:51, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I've bumped most up to C-class (I think that'd be mostly reasonable), except for the Richmond Hill line since I'm getting the sense there's still some work to be done on that one. Hiàn (talk) 06:04, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I recently expanded Milton (electoral district). I think it's C now, but I'd like a second opinion on its assessment.  Username 6892 18:21, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Agreed! I've moved it to C class today.   PK  T (alk)  13:56, 23 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I expanded Riding Mountain National Park and reformatted it to look more like the Banff National Park article, as suggested at last review. I also rewrote the activities section to read more like an encyclopedia entry and added some relevant historical events that were missing from the history section.Trek104 (talk) 19:52, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I've further tweaked Garibaldi Provincial Park and made significant expansions to Bowron Lake Provincial Park, and would like to get one or both of these reviewed for GA status. However, since they're the only articles I've done any major work on, I'd like to get some fellow Canadapedians to give me their opinions on the articles first. If there are major issues that need to be addressed, I'd like to get them fixed before adding to the GA-review queue. Thanks for any input. Luidias (talk) 18:38, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Can I get an re-assessment for the article Alert? Reggie&#39;s Wrath (talk) 19:07, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Upgraded to "C" class today. It has numerous references, but there are several sections without citations at this time.  PK  T (alk)  15:24, 23 November 2021 (UTC)


 * A requested article L. Ted Coneybeare has been created. An assessment is requested, please. Saqib.zamir.ksa (talk) 22:54, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Class=Start. Thanks!  PK  T (alk)  13:05, 14 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Amanda Stepto - Before this year, this article of a Degrassi actress was [|essentially empty] with no sources, no biography, no filmography. I've written a biography from scratch with plenty of contemporary articles from ProQuest, podcasts she guested on and even dug up several sources saying that she was a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood in 1992-1993. ToQ100gou (talk) 11:33, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Article was promoted to GA class in 2021.  PK  T (alk)  13:05, 14 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Parliament Building (Quebec) - article translated/expanded from French sixfold (the version is, in my opinion, more complete than the French one). Requesting reassessment - I think it is now a solid B grade, though I would be grateful for feedback. (PS. I'd be grateful for suggestions about how to improve it to a good article - write on my talk page). Szmenderowiecki (talk) 12:58, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Article was promoted to B class by editor Szmenderowiecki in October 2021.  PK  T (alk)  13:05, 14 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Calgary Round-Up Band - article has had many updates, including many revisions and rewrites, I'm unsure of what the new grade would be but anything above Start.James Denesuk (talk) 20:27, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Edmonton Radial Railway - I significantly expanded the article and would like an outsider's perspective of what grade it deserves now. Thank you! CplKlinger (talk) 17:02, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Ford Ministry - Article created from the model of the Federal and Alberta Ministry pages. Thank you! WanukeX (talk) 05:35, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Melanie Leishman - Could this page please be reassessed? I've expanded the previously stub rated article to include full filmography (Film & TV) & summaries of significant career events with plenty of References & hyperlinks to existing Wiki pages. Thanks for your time! :) LooksGreatInATurtleNeck (talk) 22:28, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Premier of Ontario - Did a major rework with large content additions, may now be a C or B class article, didn't want to self-assess. Some areas of issue may be creation of summary statistics in the article based on Wikipedia biographies but not an independent source. Looking forward to comments, and I'll watch the talk page to see if there's anything in need of improvement. --Kwkintegrator (talk) 18:39, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Mohawk Island 5x expanded by and . Thanks, 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him &#124; talk) 22:58, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I've added a fair bit of content to Ottawa station since it was last assessed, and was wondering if I could get a reassessment. Thanks! Ottawajin (talk) 09:23, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Article was promoted to B class by editor XtraJovial on the same day that this request was posted.  PK  T (alk)  12:15, 21 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I have extensively rewritten and expanded the article Bus rapid transit in Montreal and would appreciate a reassessment. Thank you! --Rfwang4 (talk) 07:18, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I've reassessed to B class. OhanaUnitedTalk page 08:25, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Is this where I ask for my article on the Hagersville Tire Fire to receive the coveted Low Importance label? If not, I would love some directions to where I'm supposed to be. Thanks, y'all! ATireOnFire
 * It just means that the article itself is relatively not quite important from the entire WikiProject Canada's perspective. It has nothing to do with the quality of the article. OhanaUnitedTalk page 08:23, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Is this the right place to ask for a re-sssessment? Please review changes to article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyn_Pugliese. Icleaned it up. if the standard for mid is Rick Mercer then she should definately be higher, she is more like a Peter Mansbridge, only female and Indigenous. Many thanks.


 * Please reassess the article concerning Schleese Saddlery. I have made significant changes and corrections, and feel that it could possibly qualify now for a start level as well as consideration for mid-level given that the company is the largest English saddle manufacturer located in North America and has significant global presence.
