Wikipedia:WikiProject Dacia/Assessment

The assessment department of the Dacia WikiProject focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Dacia articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work, and are also expected to play a role in the Version 1.0 Editorial Team program.

Frequently asked questions (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   to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.


 * 3. Who can assess articles? : Any reviewer, or member of the Dacia WikiProject, is free to add—or change—the rating of an article between stub, start, C and B classes. Editors who are not participants in this project are also welcome to assess articles. Note that the maximum Quality level that can be legitimately assessed without formal review is B class.


 * 4. 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. Note that the maximum Quality level that can be legitimately assessed without formal review is B class.


 * 5. Can I request that someone else rate an article? : Of course; to do so, please list it in the section for assessment requests below.


 * 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. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article again.


 * 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!

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

Importance scale
N.B.: Assessments do/should not reflect the importance of the subject within Classical studies but rather its importance to an average reader with no background in the subject.
