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

[edit] 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 Film WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article.
- 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.
[edit] Instructions
An article's assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Film}} project banner on its talk page:
{{WikiProject Film|class=}}
[edit] Quality scale
Articles are automatically placed in an appropriate subcategory of Category:Film articles by quality by adding a label to the class parameter of the project banner:
{{WikiProject Film|class=FA}}adds an article to Category:FA-Class film articles{{WikiProject Film|class=FL}}adds an article to Category:FL-Class film articles{{WikiProject Film|class=GA}}adds an article to Category:GA-Class film articles{{WikiProject Film|class=B}}adds an article to Category:B-Class film articles{{WikiProject Film|class=C}}adds an article to Category:C-Class film articles{{WikiProject Film|class=Start}}adds an article to Category:Start-Class film articles{{WikiProject Film|class=Stub}}adds an article to Category:Stub-Class film articles{{WikiProject Film|class=List}}adds an article to Category:List-Class film articles
Other non-article pages may also be categorized in the same way:
{{WikiProject Film|class=Disambig}}adds a page to Category:Disambig-Class film articles{{WikiProject Film|class=Category}}adds a page to Category:Category-Class film articles{{WikiProject Film|class=Template}}adds a page to Category:Template-Class film articles{{WikiProject Film|class=NA}}adds a page to Category:NA-Class film articles
If the class parameter is left empty, the article or page will be placed in Category:Unassessed film articles.
| You should not arbitrarily assign FA, FL or GA grades to an article. To receive these grades, an article must first pass through these processes for approval: |
[edit] Core articles
In lieu of a moribund importance rating, the project has deprecated the importance parameter in favor of a targeted drive towards "core"-type articles as determined by consensus in external lists and polls rather than individual editorial whim. This work is concentrated at the Core department of this WikiProject.
[edit] Film grading scheme
]
| Class | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editing suggestions | Example | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
The article has attained featured article status.
|
Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. | Fight Club (film) (as of September 2011) |
|||
The article has attained good article status.
|
Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (although not equalling) the quality of a professional encyclopedia. | Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing featured article on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing. | Scream (film) (as of July 2011) |
|||
| B | The article is mostly complete and without major issues, but requires some further work to reach good article standards.
|
Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher. | A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed, and expert knowledge is increasingly needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should also be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the Manual of Style and related style guidelines. | Fahrenheit 9/11 (as of September 2011) |
||
| C | The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains a lot of irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant issues or require substantial cleanup.
|
Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study. | Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and address cleanup issues. | Saw V (as of November 2009) |
||
| Start | An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and, most notably, lacks adequate reliable sources.
|
Provides some meaningful content, but the majority of readers will need more. | Provision of references to reliable sources should be prioritised; the article will also need substantial improvements in content and organisation. | 101 Dalmatians (1996 film) (as of September 2011) |
||
| Stub | A very basic description of the topic.
|
Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition. | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. | The Cure for Insomnia (as of July 2009) |
||
The article has attained featured list status.
|
Professional standard; it comprehensively covers the defined scope, usually providing a complete set of items, and has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about those items. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available. | List of accolades received by 127 Hours (as of July 2011) |
|||
| List | Meets the criteria of a stand-alone list, which is an article that contains primarily a list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area. | There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader. | Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized. | 2011 in film (as of September 2011) |
[edit] Requests for assessment
If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below. (Note that this is not required; any editor may assess or re-assess an article on their own, if acting in good faith.)
If you assess an article, please strike it off so that other editors will not waste time going there too. Comments are not mandatory and any should be left at the article's talk page; the list below will be wiped periodically.
Osthi - Rated stub class. I've added a production section to it and expanded the soundtrack section. The article is now all right for C-class or start level. Please re-assess and change it. Secret of success Talk to me 11:31, 21 October 2011 (UTC)The Orphan Killer Currently has no rating and I'd like to get it checked. I've fleshed it out with as much reliable material as I could find at this time. I do think it'd pass C level, but I hesitate to mark it myself. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:03, 19 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79You Are the Apple of My Eye Overhauled the article and would like an outside opinion on its progress. If possible, please leave suggestions for improvement on its talk page. Thank you.--Lionratz (talk) 13:57, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Labyrinth (film) - I have significantly expanded this article, which is currently rated 'Start Class'. Due to my additions and re-working of the material formerly on the page, I feel the page could potentially be upgraded to 'B Class', but whatever happens I feel it should definitely no longer fall into the 'Start Class' category. Thank-you.Rachael89 (talk) 11:07, 14 January 2012 (UTC)Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters – I've made a number of additions to this article and think it should rate higher than "stub" now. Robert Kerber (talk) 17:30, 14 January 2012 (UTC)Valhalla (film) - article has had an extensive clean up and extension, re-assessment now needed. -- Cassianto (talk) 22:53, 17 January 2012 (UTC)- The Grey - significantly expanded and cleaned up by myself and others so that I believe it no longer falls into the 'stub class' category. Please reassess. Thank you -- Abadguitarist (talk) 07:13, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
