WikiProject Irish Maritime/Assessment

Shortcut

Welcome to the assessment department of the Irish Maritime WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Irish Maritime 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 Irish Maritime}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Irish Maritime articles by quality and Category:Irish Maritime 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 Irish Maritime 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!
Where do I find a list of new Irish Maritime related articles?
A new Irish Maritime Search Results list is produced almost daily and older results (since September 2007) are archived here.

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.

Instructions[edit]

Quality assessments[edit]

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

{{WikiProject Ireland|class=???}}

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class Ireland articles)  FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Ireland articles)  A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Ireland articles)  GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Ireland articles) B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Ireland articles) C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Ireland articles) Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Ireland articles) Stub

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:

??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Ireland articles) ???

After assessing an article's quality, comments on the assessment can be added either to the article's talk page or to the /Comments subpage which will appear as a link next to the assessment. Adding comments will add the article to Category:Irish Maritime articles with comments. Comments that are added to the /Comments subpages will be transcluded onto the automatically generated work list pages in the Comments column.

{{WPSHIPS|class=???}}

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Ships articles) ???

Quality scale[edit]

The quality scale is used to asses the quality of an individual article.

While much of the quality rating system is comparable across projects, WP:SHIPS articles have additional criteria as to content. What is rated higher class article by general Wikipedia or other projects' standards will be undoubtedly be well written and encyclopedic, but may miss a item considered key to WP:SHIPS. If it is missing key content or style, give it a lower rating. If in doubt, leave it unrated.

Class Criteria Formal process Example
Featured article FA Reserved for articles that meet the featured article criteria and have received featured article status after community review. Featured article candidates –
A-Class article A Reserved for articles that have received A-Class status after review by the project. Such articles are expected to largely meet the featured article criteria, and must be comprehensive, accurate, well-sourced, and decently-written; however, they may require some further copyediting. A-Class review USS Iowa (BB-61)(as of November 2008)
GA Reserved for articles that meet the good article criteria and have received good article status. Good article nominations SS Suevic (as of August 2007)
B The article meets the following five criteria:
  1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points have appropriate inline citations.
  2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies.
  3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content.
  4. It is free from major grammatical errors.
  5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams.
 –
C The article meets criteria three, four and five of the five B-Class criteria. Criteria one and two are not required for a C-Class rating:
  1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points have appropriate inline citations. (not required)
  2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. (not required)
  3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. (required)
  4. It is free from major grammatical errors. (required)
  5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. (required)
  • May be assigned by any reviewer
  • A checklist is available through {{WikiProject Irish Maritime}} to track the criteria (see the project banner instructions for more details); the checklist must be filled out in order to rate an article for C-class.
  • See the B-class FAQ for more information on criteria three, four and five.
 –
Start The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas, and may lack a key element; it has at least one serious element of gathered materials, including any one of the following:
  • A particularly useful picture or graphic
  • Multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic
  • A subheading that fully treats an element of the topic
  • Multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article
 May be assigned by any reviewer –
Stub The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to bring it to A-Class level. It is usually very short, but can be of any length if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible. May be assigned by any reviewer –
??? Unassessed This article is of unknown class to this project. There are currently 0 articles that remain to be analyzed.
