Wikipedia:WikiProject Christian music/Contemporary Christian music/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of the Contemporary Christian music WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Contemporary Christian music 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 WikiProject Contemporary Christian music banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Contemporary Christian music articles by quality and Category:Contemporary Christian music 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 Contemporary Christian music 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.

Quality assessments
After assessing an article's quality, any comments on the assessment can be added to the article's talk page.

Importance assessment
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the WikiProject Contemporary Christian music project banner on its talk page:



The following values may be used for importance assessments:
 * Top - The article is about one of the core topics of Contemporary Christian music. Adds articles to Category:Top-importance Contemporary Christian music articles
 * High - The article is about the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of Contemporary Christian music. Adds articles to Category:High-importance Contemporary Christian music articles
 * Mid - The article is about a topic within the Contemporary Christian music field that may or may not be commonly known outside the Contemporary Christian music community. Adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Contemporary Christian music articles
 * Low - The article is about a topic that is highly specialized within the Contemporary Christian music field and is not generally common knowledge outside the religion community. Adds articles to Category:Low-importance Contemporary Christian music articles
 * Unknown - Any articles not specifically rated for importance automatically fall in the Category:Unknown-importance Contemporary Christian music articles.

Importance scale
Given the number and variety of articles with which this project shall be dealing, I believe that we should devote a good deal of attention in the short run to determining which of the articles we consider to be of greatest importance to the project. We now have a page at WikiProject Contemporary Christian music/Assessment/Top-importance articles where we can discuss which articles should receive top-importance ranking. Any and all input is more than welcome.

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.


 * I figure I should ask, and get a ranking on the Relient K article. I would eventually love for it to be a GA. --DJREJECTED 13:48, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Made some changes to Big Daddy Weave. Askbros 22:20, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sonicflood straddles the stub-start ratings and I would guess is a high importance, but I'd like if someone else could take a look at it. --YbborT 00:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Referenced, now is between Start and B class, probably needs more refs before it is truely B. Dan, the CowMan 03:36, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I would like to request a reassesment for Across The Sky there has been some work done on this article. It needs some improvement. Part of the rush is that it is up for deletion. Any help would be appreciated.74.138.202.34 10:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC) I've also added some content and ref. to page. It does need clean up and wikification (is that a word?) but it was enough content to prevent deletion of article. M-BMor 02:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Definately comming along low B here needs picture. 74.138.202.34 19:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
