Wikipedia:WikiProject Singapore/Article Assessment

Welcome to the assessment section of the SGpedians' notice board! This section focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Singapore-related articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment, 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 assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Singapore articles by quality and Category:Singapore articles by importance, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

Frequently asked questions

 * See also the general assessment FAQ


 * How do I add an article to the WikiProject?
 * Just add WikiProject Singapore to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.


 * Who can assess articles?
 * Any member of WikiProject Singapore is free to add—or change—the rating of an article. Editors who are not participants in this project are also welcome to assess articles, but should defer to consensus within the project in case of procedural disputes.


 * What is the purpose of article assessments?
 * The assessment system allows a WikiProject to monitor the quality of articles in its subject areas, and to prioritize work on these articles. The ratings are also used by the Wikipedia 1.0 program to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content.


 * How do I rate an article?
 * Check the quality scale and select the level that best matches the state of the article; then, follow the instructions below to add the rating to the project banner on the article's talk page.


 * Can I assess articles that I have written or contributed significantly to?
 * For the most part, yes—in fact, you are encouraged to do so. If your article falls within the Stub- to C-Class range, by awarding the rating yourself you are helping to prevent the assessment requests process becoming overloaded. However, B-Class assessments are generally undertaken by an independent editor (requests for a review can be made here).


 * How can I make a request for someone else to assess an article?
 * Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.


 * 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.


 * 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 details or feedback about an article?
 * The peer review process is one that results in a more thorough examination of articles; please submit it for review there.


 * Aren't the ratings subjective?
 * Yes, they are somewhat subjective, 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!


 * 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 go to the main project discussion page.

Specific topics
These are sample guidelines on how to rate the importance of specific topics relating to Singapore. They are not completely set in stone and may be subject to editorial discretion. Feel free to disagree on how specific topics may be rated on the talk page or boldly edit this section if a guideline has not been suggested.
 * Elections: Usually high to top importance. General elections after independence are top importance as they are usually noticed internationally. City and municipal elections before independence in which only a select few can vote are considered mid importance. For presidential elections, uncontested elections are usually high and contested elections are considered top.
 * Members of Parliment: At least mid-importance as they are elected public figures. MPs holding Cabinet appointments may be elevated to high-importance.
 * Planning areas and subzones: At least mid-importance, sometimes high.

Requests for assessment
If you have made significant contributions to an article and would like to have a quick reassessment for a new rating, please feel free to list it here. A willing editor who has seen the request may offer to reassess the article based on the above quality and importance guidelines.

Alternatively, you may also blank the assessment rating on the article's talk page, i.e. and indicate in the edit summary that you would like the article to be reassessed (e.g. 'Requesting reassessment from WikiProject Singapore'). Note that this may only work for WikiProject Singapore as there are currently a few active editors who are willing to rate unassessed articles to keep the count low. (as of July 2020)

If you are interested in more extensive comments on an article, please list it at Peer review instead.

''Reviewers: After reviewing an article, please strike it off so that other editors will not waste time going there too. Comments are not mandatory and should be left at the article's talk page.''

 * Mothership (website). Now that this became the most used online news source in Singapore, there's no way this is only a low importance. Given that CNA got high importance and The Straits Times got medium, I'd say this be put somewhere between medium and high (leaning towards medium). S5A-0043 Talk 03:37, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for helping! (Sculture65 (talk) 10:25, 28 April 2019 (UTC))
 * Article assessment is where articles are assessed and categorized based on their quality, and from what i interpret, you seem to be requesting that someone review and improve the article for which you should get a peer review or someone from the Guild of Copy Editors to copyedit the article. Article assessment is where articles are assessed and categorized based on their quality. Also, the articles above are lists and there are no further quality assessments that can be given unless you nominate the article and pass the Featured List criteria.
