Wikipedia:WikiProject Qatar/Assessment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the assessment department of the WikiProject Qatar! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles related to Qatar. The article ratings are 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 Qatar}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Qatar articles by quality and Category:Qatar articles by importance.

Frequently asked rated

[edit]
How can I get my article asked
As a member of the WikiProject Qatar, you can do it yourself. If you're unsure, list it in the section for assessment requests below.
Who can assess articles?
Any member of the WikiProject Qatar 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.
Where can I get more comments about my article?
Contact (to be determined) who will handle it or assign the issue to someone.
What if I do not agree with a rating?
Relist it as a request or contact (to be determined) who will handle it or assign the issue to someone.
Aren't the ratings subjective?
Yes, they are (see, in particular, the disclaimers on the importance scale), 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, or to contact (to be determined) directly.

Quality assessments

[edit]

An article's quality assessment is recorded using the |class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Qatar}} banner template on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following standard grades may be used to describe the quality of mainspace articles (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA (for featured articles only; adds them to the FA-Class Qatar articles category)  FA
FL (for featured lists only; adds them to the FL-Class Qatar articles category)  FL
A (for articles that passed a formal peer review only; adds them to the A-Class Qatar articles category)  A
GA (for good articles only; adds them to the GA-Class Qatar articles category)  GA
B (for articles that satisfy all of the B-Class criteria; adds them to the B-Class Qatar articles category) B
C (for substantial articles; adds them to the C-Class Qatar articles category) C
Start (for developing articles; adds them to the Start-Class Qatar articles category) Start
Stub (for basic articles; adds them to the Stub-Class Qatar articles category) Stub
List (for stand-alone lists; adds them to the List-Class Qatar articles category) List
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unwarranted; adds them to the NA-Class Qatar pages category) NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in the Unassessed Qatar articles category) ???

For non-mainspace content, the following values may be used:

Category (for categories; adds them to the Category-Class Qatar pages category) Category
Draft (for drafts; adds them to the Draft-Class Qatar pages category) Draft
File (for files and timed text; adds them to the File-Class Qatar pages category) File
Portal (for portal pages; adds them to the Portal-Class Qatar pages category) Portal
Project (for project pages; adds them to the Project-Class Qatar pages category) Project
Template (for templates and modules; adds them to the Template-Class Qatar pages category) Template

The following non-standard assessment grades for mainspace content may be used at a WikiProject's discretion:

Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds them to the Disambig-Class Qatar pages category) Disambig
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds them to the Redirect-Class Qatar pages category) Redirect

Importance assessments

[edit]

The following values may be used for the importance parameter:


Top
High
Mid
Low

The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below.

Quality scale

[edit]

For the quality scale please use the Category:Qatar articles by quality page.

Importance scale

[edit]

For the Importance scale use the Category:Qatar articles by importance

The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to students of military history. Importance does not equate to quality; a featured article could rate 'mid' on importance.

Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country or region in which they hold said notability. Thus, topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated.

  • The importance scale for the towns, provinces are determined by: High Importance: Capital and population higher than a million.
  • The importance scale for the biographies are determined by:
  • The importance scale for the current events are determined by:

Requesting an assessment

[edit]

It is vital that people not take these assessments personally. It is understood that we all have different priorities and different opinions about what makes a perfect article. It is proposed that coordinator who performs a complete assessment on each page on that list every three months. If you contribute a lot of content to an article you may request an independent assessment.
