Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire/Bradford/Assessment

One of the tasks of the Bradford WikiProject is to assess the quality of Wikipedia's Bradford articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to help in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. They also play a role in the WP:1.0 program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process.

The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the BradProject project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Bradford articles by quality, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist. WP:1.0 also produces a statistics page, and a log of articles assessed.

How to Assess
An article's assessment is generated on its talkpage from the class parameter in WikiProject Bradford, the WikiProject's banner. To add the banner, add the following to its talkpage:



To add an assessment, simply fill in the class parameter with the appropriate letters. The following values may be used:


 * FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Bradford articles; should only be used for articles that are currently listed as featured articles)
 * FL (adds articles to Category:FL-Class Bradford articles; should only be used for articles that are currently listed as featured lists)
 * A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Bradford articles;
 * GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Bradford articles; should only be used for articles that are currently listed as good articles)
 * B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Bradford articles)
 * Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Bradford articles)
 * Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Bradford articles)
 * NA (for pages, such as templates or disambiguation pages, where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article Bradford pages)

Where to find unassessed articles
Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Bradford articles. The criteria for the different classes is below.

Quality scale
WikiProject Bradford Studies uses the same criteria for grading articles as set out by the Version 1.0 Editorial Team. If you are not sure what class an article falls under, leave a note on the WikiProject's talkpage, and someone will help you out.
