Wikipedia:WikiProject Netherlands/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of the Netherlands WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Netherlands 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 Netherlands project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Netherlands 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 Netherlands WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article. It is however considered ethical conduct not to assess articles in the writing of which you yourself has been an important editor
 * Can I rank an article as I like? : No. Every editor can award stub, start, C, and B class. However, the higher quality labels require more. Good Article and Featured Article status can only be awarded to articles that have gone through the official Wikipedia nomination procedures. A-class assessment are reserved for very good articles, and should have received and fairly addressed extensive peer review (from within or outside the project).
 * 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; if it has indeed been improved; or the rating was unfair, a better quality will be assigned. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article again.
 * I agreed with the low rating, but I have now improved the article, how can I get my rating up? : Again, 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.
