Wikipedia:WikiProject Madonna/Assessment

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

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the WikiProject Madonna project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Madonna articles by quality and Category:Madonna 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 Madonna 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.

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



The following values may be used for importance assessments:
 * Top - The article is about one of the core topics of Madonna. Adds articles to Category:Top-importance Madonna articles
 * High - The article is about the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of Madonna. Adds articles to Category:High-importance Madonna articles
 * Mid - The article is about a topic within the Madonna field that may or may not be commonly known outside the Madonna community. Adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Madonna articles
 * Low - The article is about a topic that is highly specialized within the Madonna field and is not generally common knowledge outside the community. Adds articles to Category:Low-importance Madonna articles
 * Unknown - Any article which has not yet been assessed on the importance scale is automatically added to the Category:Unknown-importance Madonna articles.

 * American Pie - Should there be an assessment for this article or not because there's only a section in the article about the Madonna cover? --Bisco (talk) 06:51, 20 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Selena - I don't know about this section (here) but I guess this is where people post articles or sections that talks about Madonna? Anyways, in the article "Selena" I edited, with sources, that says "... and was even called the Mexican equivalent of Madonna", also in this article, in the "After death" section, Madonna phoned Selena's family about how sad she was to hear that Selena was murdered. So these are also good "DYK Madonna" sections! --AJona1992 (talk) 22:46, 10 August 2010 (UTC)


 * American Life - I spent months revamping the article and I have finally published my work, thanks --FeuDeJoie (talk) 22:17, 1 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Hollywood - I have revamped the entire article, with the exception of the music video section. - Saulo  Talk to Me 18:32, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
