Wikipedia:WikiProject Derbyshire/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Derbyshire! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Derbyshire 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. It is maintained by the Assessment Taskforce of the Derbyshire WikiProject.

FAQs

 * What is the purpose of article assessments? : The assessment system allows a WikiProject to monitor the quality of articles in its subject areas, and to prioritize work on these articles. The ratings are also used by the Wikipedia 1.0 program to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content.


 * Are these ratings official? : Not really; these ratings are meant primarily for the internal use of the project, and usually do not imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.


 * Who can assess articles? : In general, anyone can add or change an article's rating. However, the "GA" and "FA" labels should only be used on articles that have been reviewed and are currently designated as good articles or featured articles, respectively. Individual WikiProjects may also have more formal procedures for rating an article, and please note that the WikiProject bears ultimate responsibility for resolving disputes.
 * How do I assess an article? : Consult the quality scale below; once you have chosen the level that seems to be closest to the article, set the class parameter in the WikiProject banner template to the level's name (omitting "Class" from the end). For example, to rate an article as "B-Class", use   in the banner. Again, the "FA" and "GA" labels should not be added to articles unless are currently designated as such.
 * For more information, see Content assessment.


 * Someone put a project banner template on an article, but it's not really within the WikiProject's scope. What should I do? : Because of the large number of articles we deal with, we occasionally make mistakes and add tags to articles that shouldn't have them.  If you notice one, feel free to remove the tag, and optionally leave a note on the article's talk page (or directly with the person who tagged the article).
 * What if I don't agree with a rating? : Feel free to change it—within reason—if you think a different rating is justified; in the case of major disputes, the WikiProject as a whole can discuss the issue and come to a consensus as to the best rating.
 * 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!
 * 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.

How to rate articles
Any member of WikiProject Derbyshire is invited to rate articles for the project. Articles with unassessed quality can be found at Category:Unassessed Derbyshire articles and articles with unassessed importance ratings can be found at Category:Unknown-importance Derbyshire articles

The rating process can be speeded up somewhat by installing WP:RATER.

The following values may be used for importance assessments:
 * Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Derbyshire articles)
 * High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Derbyshire articles)
 * Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Derbyshire articles)
 * Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Derbyshire articles)
 * Unassessed (any article not rated for importance is automatically added to the Category:Unassessed Derbyshire articles.)

Article quality rating scale
Use the following scale to assess article's quality ratings:

Assessments
Please record here a record of assessments made
 * Derby School (B/High} Very old school and Derbyshire organisation so High importance. B rating is based on very good coverage and refs. Could be a GA or more Victuallers 13:43, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Alvaston (start/High) Ward and suburb so High importance. Start as no refs Dommccas 14:53, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Bolsover (stub/mid) Town so Mid importance. Stub as no references, sections or enough contentDommccas 14:53, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * National Tramway Museum (B/mid) B in line with other rankings, mid because a key National Museum? PLease change if necessary!  Bluegoblin  7   13:53, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Whitwell, Derbyshire (Start/Mid) Start as only 1 reference but several sections of information. Village so Mid importance. Schumi555 16:56, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Weston Underwood, Derbyshire (Stub/Mid) Stub as there is not enough content. Civil parish so Mid importance. Schumi555 17:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Weston-on-Trent (Start/Mid) Start per WikiProject England rating. Civil parish so Mid importance. Schumi555 17:06, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Duffield Frith (Start) Start per WikiProject England rating. Unsure of importance rating. Schumi555 17:10, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Benjamin Robinson (minister) (Start) Just about start as several references are present and about a deceased person. Importance already rated.
 * Church Gresley (Stub) Stub as no references are present and a lack of sections. Importance already rated.
 * Gresley Rovers F.C. (Start) Start per WikiProject on Football. Would possibly be B class if any references existed. Importance already rated.
 * Coalite (Start/Low) Article needs copyedit. Rated importance as low (unsure whether it could be mid) Ning-ning 19:42, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Crich Tramway Village (Stub/Mid) Stub as only basic information and no references. Mid importance seemed reasonable as this rating is already given to the related National Tramway Museum, although the latter could probably do with being bumped up to High! Jellyman (talk) 19:51, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Derby QUAD (Stub/Mid) Stub as very short, although there are already a few references. Mid importance as regionally significant for the arts? Jellyman (talk) 20:44, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * West End of Derby (Stub/Low) Stub as very, very short and no references. Suburb, so low importance. Jellyman (talk) 23:09, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Cathedral Green Footbridge - Derby (Start/Low) Start as good basic info. Some useful sources given but need converting to specific inline references. Local bridge so low importance. Jellyman (talk) 23:26, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Exeter Bridge - Derby (Start/Low) Start class, fairly good basic outline, but more references needed. Local bridge so low importance. Jellyman (talk) 23:29, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * New Zealand, Derby (Start/Mid) Start as plenty of info, but poorly organised and lacking references. Mid importance - suburb Jellyman (talk) 20:01, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Recreation Ground, Long Eaton (Start/Low) Start as decent basic coverage of topic, but lots of scope for expansion. Low as relatively local significance, but possibly mid-importance? Jellyman (talk) 21:25, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Little Longstone (Start/Mid} Self-assessed – think I've covered the basics of village and civil parish (surprised it didn't previously exist). Dave.Dunford (talk) 20:28, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
