Wikipedia:WikiProject Thailand/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of the Thailand WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles about Thailand, its land, people, and history. 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 WikiProject Thailand project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Thailand articles by quality and Category:Thailand articles by importance, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

Frequently asked questions

 * How can I get my article rated? : Please make specific requests at the main WikiProject talk page.
 * Who can assess articles? : Any member of the Thailand WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article.
 * What if I don't agree with a rating? : Feel free to make another request or ask another project member for a second opinion.
 * 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.

Instructions
An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the WikiProject Thailand project banner on its talk page:

The class and importance of an article should be assigned by listing them in the template parameters according to the quality and importance scales below.

Importance scale
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). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to students of Thailand.

''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.''

Assessment log

 * The logs in this section are generated automatically (on a daily basis); please don't add entries to them by hand.

Unexpected changes, such as downgrading an article, or raising it more than two assessment classes at once, are shown in bold.
