Project tagging
Because this is a new WikiProject, most articles don't have the WikiProject tag yet. Here's the entire category tree, though per talk page discussion you may not want to add tags to articles about students, alumni or faculty (except chancellors, presidents and Regents). We have not yet come to an agreement about whether athletic programs are within the scope of this project. You are encouraged to join in on the ongoing discussion, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject University of Massachusetts.

Once all the articles in a category are tagged, you can strike it out.

Assessment instructions
Basically since we have so few members, we really can't formulate a review process for everything. A general rule for this project is that if it works for other projects, then it works for us.

An article's assessment is generated from the class parameter in the WikiProject University of Massachusetts project banner: Place this on the talk page of the article



The following values may be used for importance:
 * Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance University of Massachusetts articles)

 * Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance University of Massachusetts articles)
