Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Virginia/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of the Virginia WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles about Virginia or the people of Virginia. 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.

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 the Virginia WikiProject 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.

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

The following values may be used for the class parameter:


 * FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class University of Virginia articles)
 * A (adds articles to Category:A-Class University of Virginia articles)
 * GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class University of Virginia articles)
 * B (adds articles to Category:B-Class University of Virginia articles)
 * Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class University of Virginia articles)
 * Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class University of Virginia articles)
 * List (adds articles to Category:List-Class University of Virginia articles)
 * Template (adds articles to Category:Template-Class University of Virginia articles)
 * NA (for pages, such as templates or disambiguation pages, where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article University of Virginia pages)

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed University of Virginia articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

 * 1) I have significantly updated the Virginia Glee Club article and would like to see it assessed. It was previously assessed as a stub. Tjarrett 16:01, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I would like to see the Virginia Pep Band article reassessed. It has been assessed as a start, but appears to have more information than (and certainly complements) the Cavalier Marching Band article, which was rated a mid-B. The Pep Band article clearly exceeds the description of a "start" article. 71.206.188.25 00:54, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) I would love to see University of Virginia College of Arts & Sciences reassessed.  I've done alot of work on it and I believe its no longer start category anymore... Queerbubbles (talk) 18:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
