Wikipedia:WikiProject Webcomics/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Webcomics! Here's what you need to know:


 * Every article in this project should have a quality rating. This helps editors track progress and find things that need work.
 * Ratings are stored on the talk page of the article in question.
 * This page lists the rating levels and what they mean.
 * Anyone can update a rating, except to give some high ratings like "good article" – these have more formal processes. And if you want to help review other people's articles, see the list below.
 * If you have worked on an article and would like someone to look at its rating, make a request on this page.
 * If you don't get a response to a request on this page, you may wish to try WikiProject Comics/Assessment or Peer review
 * This page also has some tools for finding incorrectly-assessed articles and for generating lists of articles by rating.

The ratings for each page appear on its Talk page in the WikiProject Webcomics project banner. This allows automatic analysis in tools like the WP 1.0 tool.

Frequently asked questions

 * See also the general assessment FAQ


 * 1) What is the purpose of rating articles by quality? Monitoring quality allows the project to prioritize work on articles that need the most attention. It also lets the project know which could be promoted, for example, which articles could be worthy of being a featured article.
 * 2) Who can assess articles? Any member of WikiProject Webcomics 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.
 * 3) Can I assess an article I worked on? You can, as any member of the project can rank an article. However, it's best to get an independent view if you can. Consider submitting it for assessment on this page; if you don't get a reply from another editor then rank it yourself.
 * 4) What's the technical process for ranking an article? Go to the article's Talk page, and inside the WikiProject Webcomics template, add "|class=xxx", where "xxx" is your ranking. The page on the template has more details.
 * 5) How do I decide what rating an article is? 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. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process; this is documented in the assessment scale.
 * 6) How can I ask for an article to be assessed? You can request an assessment lower down on this page. However, be aware that this assessment process has been largely inactive for some time, so you may not get a response. Alternatively, you can try the project's peer review department. If you aren't getting a response in either place, or if there is disagreement, you may want to take it to Wikipedia's general peer review.
 * 7) Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments? Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, reviewers may not have time to  leave detailed comments. 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.
 * 8) What if I don't agree with a rating? You have a number of options. You can list it in the section for assessment requests below, start a discussion on the article's talk page, or ask any member of the project to rate the article again. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process; this is documented in the assessment scale.
 * 9) 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!
 * 10) How can I keep track of changes in article ratings? A full log of changes over the past thirty days is available here.  If you are just looking for an overview, however, the statistics may be more accessible.
 * 11) Does WikiProject Webcomics rate comics by importance? This project does not rank articles by importance. If you would like to discuss this decision, there is a discussion about it here.
 * 12) What if I have a question not listed here? If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department; for any other issues, you can go to the main project discussion page.

Quality scale
The scale for assessments is defined at Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. Articles are divided into the following categories.

These criteria apply to general-content articles. The manual of Style guide provides additional sorts of content and formatting should be provided for certain articles.

Each comics-related article has its assessment included within the WikiProject Comics template, such as. This provides automatic categorization within Category:Comics articles by quality. Note that the class parameter is case-specific; see the template's documentation for more information.

List of requests for quality assessment
If you want an article's quality rating assessed or reassessed, especially if it's one you worked on, please add it to the list below.


 * Reviewers may or may not leave feedback on why they gave an article a certain rating, depending on time. If you want a full review of an article, use the WP:COMICS peer review process or the regular peer review process.
 * If you want to discuss an article's quality or how to improve it, it's best to do this on the article's talk page.
 * Seeking an A-class rating? We suggest you submit it for a Peer Review to allow us more time to respond and review. Be sure to first read what qualifies as an A rating before doing so though.
 * If you have a problem with getting an assessment, want to talk about a group of articles at once, or to discuss how ratings are done, ask on this project's Talk page.

If you assess an article, please strike it off using Strike-through text and note your rating here so that other editors will not waste time going there too. Thanks!

Past assessments done as part of WikiProject Comics are located on this page. If you delete a struck-through article from the list, please archive it somewhere.

 * 1) Cyanide & Happiness This was a fun one to work on and I think it is B-class now. HenryCrun15 (talk) 21:46, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Emily Carroll – Gives good enough coverage of the subject to be C-class. HenryCrun15 (talk) 22:09, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) 8-Bit Theater – I did a massive rewrite of this article, based on research and finding previously unincluded articles, to replace the classic decade-old webcomic article. I am not confident that it makes B-class but I would appreciate a review. HenryCrun15 (talk) 08:03, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 4) Tapas (website) hoping to move from C to B. HenryCrun15 (talk) 03:14, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 5) Doctor Fun – I wanted to upgrade this article on a very early, long-running webcomic, but there are very few sources. Does it make a C-class? HenryCrun15 (talk) 01:31, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 6) Hyperbole and a Half Recently, the article on Allie Brosh, the creator of this comic, got to B-class, so I made this article consistent and added some more stuff on the new book to hopefully also raise it. HenryCrun15 (talk) 04:16, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 7) Garfield Minus Garfield – Hopefully upped to C - it was covered extensively (if just for a short time). HenryCrun15 (talk) 00:13, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 8) Never Satisfied - I tried to improve this article to C but I suspect there aren't enough sources or much to say about it. HenryCrun15 (talk) 04:56, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 9) Mom's Cancer - is Start, hopefully improved to C. HenryCrun15 (talk) 00:28, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * 10) Goblins (webcomic) - is Start (but was a complete mess), hopefully improved to C. HenryCrun15 (talk) 06:24, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * 11) Questionable Content - currently C. I'm not sure it makes B-grade yet but at the least I would like feedback on it. I'm keen to improve it as it's a pretty key subject for early webcomics. HenryCrun15 (talk) 03:28, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 12) Andrew Hussie - a big name in webcomics, but the article is only Start class (largely due to a lack of sources on the person). I think it's C-class now? HenryCrun15 (talk) 06:31, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Incorrectly assessed pages
There are some automatic systems that try to identify incorrectly assessed pages. Category:Incorrectly tagged WikiProject Comics articles and Category:Incorrectly tagged WikiProject Comics articles output lists of these pages. Reasons for this include:
 * Invoked review parameter when the associated subpage doesn't exist, or missing review parameter it when it does
 * Invalid combination of review status and assessment class
 * Link to a portal subpage that doesn't exist
 * Use of a deprecated parameter (e.g. portal)
 * Assessed as NA-importance when the page is in the article namespace
 * Disambig and Redirect articles should be rated as No for importance
 * Assessed as No-importance when the page is not in the article namespace
 * Templates, Categories, Images and Portals should be rated as NA for importance
 * Assessed as having an importance when the page is not in the article namespace
 * Use of a deprecated parameter (e.g. image)
 * Future class has been deprecated
