Wikipedia:WikiProject Colombia/Assessment

 Welcome to the assessment department of the Colombia WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles about Colombia or the people of Colombia. 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 Colombia project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Colombia articles by quality and Category:Colombia articles by importance, which serve 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 Colombia WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article.
 * 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 assessment
The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

Importance scale
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 or teachers learning about Colombia.

''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.''

 * 1) Manuel Uribe Ángel
 * 2) León de Greiff
 * 3) Battle of Cartagena de Indias extensively rewritten, referenced, etc, please assess for B.Tttom1 (talk) 23:50, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) University of Antioquia. It's rated right now as Stub-Class. I think I did a decent cleanup. Wfox (talk) 20:48, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Oicatá. The text (§ History) was a horrible thorn-thicket of machine mistranslation. I did my best to clean it up and give it some structure, but it should be reviewed by someone who is actually fluent in Spanish. — Also, can someone take a look at "commissariat" in Wiktionary? It mentioned only the USSR. I've added Colombia, but I'm not sure if the term is still used or not. I did find a recent possible source, but I don't think it's really reliable. The CIA Factbook is reliable, but this is the 1993 edition and I don't know if its data is still accurate. Please me to discuss. --Thnidu (talk) 23:26, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * 6) Timeline of Cartagena, Colombia
 * 7) Quercus humboldtii -- Frank R 1981 (talk) 07:54, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
