Wikipedia:WikiProject Texas/Houston task force/Assessment

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

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

Frequently asked questions

 * 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 Houston is free to add—or change—the rating of an article.
 * 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, 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!

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

We are rating articles for quality using the Houston articles by quality scale (based on this) and for importance using the Release Version Criteria scale. Once articles are rated for either they will show up on Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Houston articles by quality. To rate an article, add the following next to the WPHouston tag:

where..
 * [X] = Stub, Start, B, A, GA, or FA (also NA, Disambig, Cat, or Template)
 * [Y] = Low, Mid, High, or Top

Please be sure to capitalize!

Note: You should not assign any article GA, A, or FA grades arbitrarily. These grades must pass through official Wikipedia channels.
