Wikipedia:WikiProject West Virginia/Assessment

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

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the WikiProject West Virginia project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:West Virginia 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 the West 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
This template categorizes pages using assessment grades and importance through built-in transclusion. An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the  banner on its talk page. This template should be transcluded and not substituted (subst) because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages without having to edit hundreds of pages.

 * attention=yes — the article needs immediate attention
 * reassess=yes — request a reassessment for this article
 * merge=yes — the article is a candidate for merge action with one or more other articles

 * peer-review=yes — request a peer review for this article
