Wikipedia:WikiProject Shakespeare/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Shakespeare. This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles related to William Shakespeare, including his works and derivative works. The article ratings are 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 Wikiproject Shakespeare project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Shakespeare articles by quality and Category:Shakespeare articles by importance.

Frequently asked questions

 * How can I get my article rated? : Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
 * 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.
 * Who can assess articles? : Any member of the Shakespeare WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article.
 * Where can I find articles to assess? : Many articles in Category:William Shakespeare need to be assessed and any articles in Category:Unassessed Shakespeare articles and Category:Unknown-importance Shakespeare articles.

If you have any other questions that aren't listed here, feel free to ask them at the talk page.

How to assess articles
You can assess articles by placing the Wikiproject Shakespeare banner on its talk page (not the article page!) and using the two parameters, class (to assess the quality) and importance (to assess the priority).

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



The following values may be used for importance assessments:
 * Top - adds articles to Category:Top-importance Shakespeare articles
 * High - adds articles to Category:High-importance Shakespeare articles
 * Mid - adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Shakespeare articles
 * Low - adds articles to Category:Low-importance Shakespeare articles
 * Unknown - Any article not rated for importance is automatically added to the Category:Unknown-importance Shakespeare articles.
