Wikipedia:WikiProject Romance/Assessment

Welcome to the WikiProject Romance Assessment Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Romance. This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's fictional romance related articles. 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 Romance talk page project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Romance articles by quality and Category:Romance articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

TIP: If you would like to participate in assessment activities, you may find it helpful to turn on a metadata script that displays an article's assessment when you are viewing any article. In order to do that, click on your "My preferences" link at the top of the page, then the Gadgets category, and check the box under Appearance for "Display an assessment of an article's quality as part of the page header for each article."

Frequently asked questions

 * How do I add an article to the WikiProject? : Just add WikiProject Romance to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
 * Someone put a WikiProject Romance template on an article, but it's not a romance related article. What should I do? : If you notice one, feel free to remove the tag, and optionally leave a note on the talk page of this department (or directly with the person who tagged the article).
 * How can I get my article rated? : Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
 * Who can assess articles? : Any member of WikiProject Romance is free to add or change the rating of an article, except for GA and FA.
 * 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 (see, in particular, the disclaimers on the importance scale), but it's the best system WP:1.0 have been able to devise.
 * How can I keep track of changes in article ratings? : A full log of changes over the past thirty days is available here.
 * What if I have a question not listed here? : If your question concerns the article assessment process specifically, please refer to the discussion page for this department; for any other issues, you can ask them on the main project general forum page, or contact one of the other members directly.

Quality
Romance articles to be assessed have some aspects of the WikiProject Romance template on their talk page, but the template may be incomplete. Select an article from the list at Category:Unassessed romance articles. Then, look over the article in anticipation of filling out the parameters of the WikiProject Romance template. Finally, add in the proper parameters to the talk page template, as outlined below.

Quality scale
The scale for assessments is defined at Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. Articles are divided into the following categories.

These criteria apply to general-content articles. The style guidelines provides additional guidelines about what sorts of content and formatting should be provided for certain articles.

Each romance-related article has its assessment included within the WikiProject Romance template, such as. This provides automatic categorization within Category:Romance articles by quality. Note that the class parameter is case-specific; see the template's documentation for more information.

B-Class criteria
Special emphasis is given to the six criteria that B-Class articles for the WikiProject should meet:

Importance
The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA and should be omitted in those cases. Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance romance articles.

Importance scale
Importance must be regarded as a relative term. Importance values only reflect the perceived importance to this project. An article judged to be "Top-Class" in our project may be only "Mid-Class" in another project. 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). The criteria used for rating article importance are meant to be a probable indication of how significant the topic is to fictional romance on a whole, and how likely it would be covered in a serious encyclopedia.

''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. Also, please rate it by the objective criteria below, not on subjective criteria like whether or not you've heard of them, or you like or dislike their work. The importance scale is not a popularity contest, but rather a way for us to prioritize articles in our scope.''

Requesting an assessment
If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below at the bottom of the list. Note: This is only to rate the article on quality - you will probably not get feedback on the article. If you are interested in more extensive comments on an article, please use the peer review department instead.

If you assess an article, please remove it so others will not waste time reviewing the same article(s). It is also helpful to leave a brief note on article's talk, under a heading "B-class review", stating why the article was failed (or that it was reviewed and passed). Make sure to check the overview on how to assess a Romance article for details on how to assess. Thanks!
