Wikipedia:WikiProject Reenactment/Assessment

Quality: FA-Class | A Class | GA-Class | B-Class | Start-Class | Stub Class | Unassessed Importance: Top | High | Mid | Low | Unknown

Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Reenactment! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Reenactment 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 recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the WikiProjectReenactment project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Reenactment articles by quality and Category:Reenactment articles by importance, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

Frequently asked questions

 * How do I add an article to the WikiProject? : Just add WikiProjectReenactment to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
 * 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 Reenactment WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article. Please add your name to the list of participants if you wish to assess articles on a regular basis.
 * 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.
 * Where can I get more comments about my article? : The Status requester can conduct more thorough examination of articles; please submit it for review there.
 * 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 (see, in particular, the disclaimers on the importance scale), 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!
 * How can I keep track of changes in article ratings? : A full log of changes over the past thirty days is available here. If you are just looking for an overview, however, the statistics may be more accessible.

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.

Instructions
An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the WikiProjectReenactment project banner on its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax):



The following values may be used for the class parameter:


 * [[Image:Featured article star.png|16px]]FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Reenactment articles)
 * A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Reenactment articles)
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|14px]] GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Reenactment articles)
 * B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Reenactment articles)
 * Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Reenactment articles)
 * Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Reenactment articles)

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Reenactment articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

The following values may be used for the importance parameter:


 * Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Reenactment articles)
 * High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Reenactment articles)
 * Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Reenactment articles)
 * Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Reenactment articles)

The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below.
