WikiProject Irish Maritime/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of the Irish Maritime WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Irish Maritime 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.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the WikiProject Irish Maritime project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Irish Maritime articles by quality and Category:Irish Maritime articles by importance, which serves 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 Irish Maritime 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!
 * Where do I find a list of new Irish Maritime related articles? : A new Irish Maritime Search Results list is produced almost daily and older results (since September 2007) are archived here.

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.


 * When a "yes" is inserted in the "image-needed'" parameter the page will be listed in Category:Irish Maritime articles needing images.


 * When a "yes" is inserted in the "attention'" parameter the page will be listed in Category:Irish Maritime articles needing attention.


 * When a "yes" is inserted in the "infobox-needed'" parameter the page will be listed in Category:Irish Maritime articles needing infoboxes.

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



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

Quality scale
The quality scale is used to asses the quality of an individual article.

While much of the quality rating system is comparable across projects, WP:SHIPS articles have additional criteria as to content. What is rated higher class article by general Wikipedia or other projects' standards will be undoubtedly be well written and encyclopedic, but may miss a item considered key to WP:SHIPS. If it is missing key content or style, give it a lower rating. If in doubt, leave it unrated.

Requesting an assessment
If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below.
