Wikipedia:WikiProject Contract bridge/Assessment

This forum provides additional guidelines for assessing the quality and importance of Wikipedia's contract bridge related articles.

While the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project to aid in recognizing excellence and identifying topics in need of further work. Ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the WPCB project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of: and summarized automatically in the table at right. Clicking on a number in the table provides a listing of the articles included in that count; empty categories are simply omitted from the table.
 * Category:Contract bridge articles by quality and
 * Category:Contract bridge articles by importance
 * Quality assessments are mainly performed by members of WikiProjects, who tag talk pages of articles.
 * Two levels, GA and FA, are assessments made by external panels, rather than by Wikiprojects. Candidates are nominated by listing them at Good article candidates and Featured article candidates. Judgments are made according to the criteria at What is a good article? and Featured article criteria, and the results are listed at Good articles and Featured articles.
 * Importance assessments are made at the WikiProjects level.

The table's data is automatically regenerated every three days and so there will be a lag between more recent article updates and the table's counts.

Quality classifications
An article's quality assessment is generated by adding the class parameter and its value to the WPCB banner on the article's talk page, i.e. .  To specify an assessed class, the values in the first column of the following table are substituted for value to assign that quality rating to the article. For example, places the article in Category:B-Class Contract bridge articles.

If no class parameter value is added (either as or  ), class=??? is assigned by default and places the article in the Category:Unassessed Contract bridge articles.

Class parameters for Category, Project and Template articles are assigned by default by the WPCB banner on the basis of the prefix to the article name, and so their parameter values need not be (but can be) explicitly added to the WPCB banner.

Quality grading scheme
The following table is generic and should be customized to suit contract bridge articles.

For a discussion on the grading scheme being developed for notable bridge people, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Contract bridge/Notable people criteria

Importance classifications
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the WPCB project banner on its talk page:  . The values in the first column of the following table may be substituted for ??? to assign that importance rating to the article. See Category:Contract bridge articles by importance for a summary of article membership counts in each of the importance classifications.
