Wikipedia:WikiProject Shakira/Assessment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the assessment department of the Shakira WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Shakira 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 Shakira}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Shakira articles by quality and Category:Shakira articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

Frequently asked questions

[edit]
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 Shakira 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

[edit]

An article's quality assessment is recorded using the |class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Shakira}} 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 Shakira articles category)  FA
FL (for featured lists only; adds them to the FL-Class Shakira articles category)  FL
A (for articles that passed a formal peer review only; adds them to the A-Class Shakira articles category)  A
GA (for good articles only; adds them to the GA-Class Shakira articles category)  GA
B (for articles that satisfy all of the B-Class criteria; adds them to the B-Class Shakira articles category) B
C (for substantial articles; adds them to the C-Class Shakira articles category) C
Start (for developing articles; adds them to the Start-Class Shakira articles category) Start
Stub (for basic articles; adds them to the Stub-Class Shakira articles category) Stub
List (for stand-alone lists; adds them to the List-Class Shakira articles category) List
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unwarranted; adds them to the NA-Class Shakira pages category) NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in the Unassessed Shakira articles category) ???

Importance assessment

[edit]

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

{{WikiProject Shakira| ... | importance=??? | ...}}
Top
High
Mid
Low
???

The following values may be used for importance assessments:

Importance scale

[edit]
Label Criteria Reader's experience Editor's experience Example
Top The article is one of the core topics about Shakira. Generally, this is limited to those articles that are included as sections of the main Shakira article. A reader who is not involved in the Shakira field will have high familiarity with the subject matter and should be able to relate to the topic easily. Articles in this importance range are written in mostly generic terms, leaving technical terms and descriptions for more specialized pages. Shakira
High The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding Shakira. ??? ??? "Hips Don't Lie"
Mid The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in the history of Shakira. Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject. Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand Shakira. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text. Most people involved in the history of Shakira will be rated in this level. "The Sun Comes Out World Tour"
Low The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Shakira. Few readers outside the Shakira field or that are not Shakira students may be familiar with the subject matter. It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article. Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of the Shakira, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed. Topics included at this level include most infrastructure of Shakira. Peligro

  1. ^ Prose at the Good Article level is not expected to be at a professional level like it is for Featured Articles. Minor grammatical or style issues that do not impact clarity are not prohibitive of GA status.
