Wikipedia:WikiProject Dorset/Assessment

 This is updated every 3 days by WP 1.0 bot

Welcome to the assessment department of Dorset WikiProject. This is where we assess the quality and importance of Wikipedia articles regarding Dorset. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 programme, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

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 Dorset 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.

Some articles that are stubs will have the following template located at the bottom of the page: Dorset-geo-stub by inserting. Doing so will automatically add the article to the Category:Dorset geography stubs. If you see a stub from the WikiProject Dorset it is advised that you add the template to it, but make sure that it is removed for articles that are Start or above class.

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



The following values may be used for importance assessments:
 * Top - adds articles to Category:Top-importance Dorset articles
 * High - adds articles to Category:High-importance Dorset articles
 * Mid - adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Dorset articles
 * Low - adds articles to Category:Low-importance Dorset articles
 * Unknown - Any article not rated for importance is automatically added to the Category:Unknown-importance Dorset articles.

Good articles
Listed below are some of our finest articles, which are great examples of how to improve your article! If you're writing about a settlement there's a guideline page, especially written for you as part of our parent WikiProject, UK Geography. See How to write about a settlement. For articles to reach good article status they must go through a peer review by one of the GA reviewers. They will assess it on the quality of its prose and references mainly. Unlike featured article status, you don't need to cover all the areas in detail. For more information see: Good article criteria and Featured article criteria.
