Wikipedia:WikiProject Zoroastrianism/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of the Zoroastrianism WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Zoroastrianism related articles. 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 Zoroastrianism project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Zoroastrianism articles by quality and Category:Zoroastrianism articles by importance, 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 Zoroastrianism WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article.
 * Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments? : Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. 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.
 * 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.

Quality assessments
After assessing an article's quality, comments on the assessment can be added to the article's talk page.

Importance assessment
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the WikiProject Zoroastrianism project banner on its talk page:



The following values may be used for importance assessments:
 * Top - The article is about one of the core topics of Zoroastrianism. Adds articles to Category:Top-importance Zoroastrianism articles
 * High - The article is about the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of Zoroastrianism. Adds articles to Category:High-importance Zoroastrianism articles
 * Mid - The article is about a topic within the Bible field that may or may not be commonly known outside the Zoroastrianism community. Adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Zoroastrianism articles
 * Low - The article is about a topic that is highly specialized within the Zoroastrianism field and is not generally common knowledge outside the community. Adds articles to Category:Low-importance Zoroastrianism articles
 * Unknown - Any article which has not yet been assessed on the importance scale is automatically added to the Category:Unknown-importance Zoroastrianism articles.
