Wikipedia:WikiProject Myanmar/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of the Myanmar WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles about Myanmar or the people of Myanmar. 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 Myanmar (Burma) project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Myanmar articles by quality, 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 Myanmar WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article.
 * 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 scale
The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to students of Myanmar.

''Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country or region in which they hold said notability. Thus, topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated.''

 * 1) Irrawaddy River - Significant additions have been made to the article over the past few months, though it is still listed as Stub-class. Can someone reassess the article and leave a few to-dos? Thanks in advance, Pim Rijkee (talk) 13:27, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Shooting an Elephant has had some (significant) additions. Could you take a look? - Skittles the hog (talk) 20:37, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Internal conflict in Myanmar - I have worked a lot on this article over the past four months, correcting a lot of grammatical mistakes, punctuation, sentence strucutre, etc. I was wondering if it could be re-evaluated. - Centre Left Right ✉ 06:14, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) Philip Adolphe Klier and Max Henry Ferrars are two articles on foreign photographers active in British Burma towards the end of the 19th century. I have added photographs that illustrate their work documenting the society of Burma in those years.Munfarid1 (User:Munfarid1talk) 13:37, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * 5) Aungpan- I am from this town and I contributed a lot to this article over the past two months, adding additional information, reliable sources, and illustrations.
