Wikipedia:WikiProject Phoenicia/Assessment



The core mission of this sub-project is to evaluate Phoenician-related articles, both in terms of their quality and their importance (or priority). These assessments serve several crucial purposes within our project. Our primary objectives include tracking the progress of WikiProject:Phoenicia, pinpointing areas where our coverage may be lacking, and identifying articles with the potential to achieve "Good Article" or "Featured Article" status. These assessments are an integral part of the Wikipedia 1.0 project, contributing to the creation of to offline knowledge collections.

Current status
The table presented on this page provides a summarized overview of essential information about articles that have been assigned ratings within the scope of our project.

How To Assess an Article
An article's assessment is generated from the class parameter in the WikiProject Phoenicia project banner on the article's talk page. Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Phoenicia articles. At present, there are articles that need assessment (e.g., that need to have a class inserted in the class parameter of the template).

Phoenicia articles to be assessed have some aspects of the template on their talk page, but the template may be incomplete. First, select an article from the list at Category:Unassessed Phoenicia articles. Then, look over the article in preparation to filling out the parameters of the Phoenicia template. Next, replace the WikiProject Phoenicia template on the article talk page with the following: The above template has all the answers that you will need for most situations. From your review of the article, delete those answers and parameters that do not fit the article. Then, fill in the listas parameter (e.g., last name, first name), then save. And, you are done!

Class parameter
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the project banner on its talk page:



The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Content assessment for assessment criteria): For pages that are not articles, the following values can also be used for the class parameter:

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



The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project: The importance parameter should be assigned according to the importance scale below.

Criteria
As do most WikiProjects, we assess our articles for Quality and Importance. Quality designations are made according to a set of generally-accepted criteria, which are summarised below. Lower quality designations are conferred by individual project members. Higher quality designations are conferred once the article has passed a peer review by a group of Classics editors (for A-class status) or the relevant Wikipedia-wide assessment systems (for GA-class or FA-class status).

Requests for assessment of an article into B-class or any lower rank may be made at. You should not assess an article you have made substantial contributions to, because – self-evidently – it is less likely you will be able to fairly and accurately judge your own work.

It is vital that people do not take these assessments personally. We each have our own opinions of the priorities of the objective criteria for a perfect article. Different projects may use their own variation of the criteria more tuned for the subject area.

Assessments of importance do not, and should not, reflect the importance of the subject within academia or classical studies, but rather its importance to an average reader with no background in the subject.
