Importance: Top | High | Mid | Low | Bottom | Unknown

Welcome to the wonderful assessment department of WikiProject Comics! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Comics 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 recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{Comicsproj}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Comics articles by quality, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add an article to the WikiProject?
Just add {{Comicsproj}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
How can I get my article rated?
Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
Who can assess articles?
Any editor is free to add—or change—the rating of an article. Please add your name to the list of participants if you wish to assess articles on a regular basis.
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?
The peer review department can conduct more thorough examination of articles; please submit it for review there.
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 (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!
How can I keep track of changes in article ratings?
A full log of changes over the past thirty days is available here. If you are just looking for an overview, however, the statistics may be more accessible.

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

Instructions

An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{Comicsproj}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WP Comics| class=??? }}

The following values may be used for the class parameter:

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed-Class Comics articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

{{WP Comics| importance=??? }}

The following values may be used for the importance parameter:

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

Importance scale

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 Comics.

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.


Status Template Meaning of Status
Top {{Top-Class}} This article is of the utmost importance to the project, as it provides key information about a major topic that is fundamental to a study of the subject.
High {{High-Class}} This article is very important to the project, as it covers either a general area of knowledge or provides information about a significant topic.
Mid {{Mid-Class}} This article is relatively important to the project, as it provides more specific knowledge of areas that a serious reader would need to understand.
Low {{Low-Class}} This article is significant but has limited importance to the project, as it expands the reader's overall knowledge of the subject into areas of general interest.
Bottom {{Bottom-Class}} This article has no real significance to the project, but it covers additional topics of general or specific interest, some of which could be described as trivia, though all are notable in their own right. Others may be articles of high importance to another project that have an indirect connection with comics. The category was created by the WikiProject to counter-balance "top importance" and to place "mid-importance" into the actual middle. In addition it serves to separate trivia from articles of low but significant importance.
Template:No-importance {{No-Class}} Subject is a disambiguation or redirect page, residing in article space but redundant in a print encyclopedia.
NA {{NA-Class}} Used for categories, templates, portal and project pages, separate from article space.

Requesting an assessment

If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new quality rating for it, please feel free to list it below. To discuss the ratings methods or raise issues with similar articles rated differently, please use the talk page. NOTE: This is only to rate the article on quality - you may or may not get feedback on the article. If you desire a review, use the WP:COMICS peer review process or the regular peer review process. If you assess an article, please strike it off using <s>Strike-through text</s> and note your rating here so that other editors will not waste time going there too. Thanks!

Seeking an A-class rating? We suggest you submit it for a Peer Review to allow us more time to respond and review. Be sure to first read what qualifies as an A rating before doing so though.

Past assessments are located here. If you delete a striked-through article from the list, please remember to put it in the archive.

Add new requests at the bottom.

  1. Numerous Marvel Comics articles. BOZ (talk) 17:01, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Batmobile - Requesting assessment. Much work has been done on it recently and I'm looking for ways it can be improved. A gx7 (talk) 01:37, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Joker (comics) - it was a B-class article that's been rated as C-class, and I'd like to know how we can improve it so it's better. The Joker's Woman[BlackPearl14contribs!]
  4. Liam Sharp Just noticed the article is 'C' class, and low. There's a been a ton of work done on it, so just wondered if we could get the re-evaluated? I can verify it's 100% accurate! :) Best, Liam.
  5. LGBT themes in comics. I'm gradually working this up to GA, and have completely rewritten it and added 50 sources. An outside oppinion on whether it meets B class yet would be nice (and any comments on what is missing for GA?). Thanks!YobMod 09:45, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Typhoon (comics)-I've added numerous references to the article and I'm wondering if it would be deemed as better than start-class now. Thanks! OPMaster (talk) 02:59, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Anole (comics) - Rquesting reassessment. I followed all listed suggestions from the B-Class grading, standardizing all references to Wiki: Citation templates, expanding the lead, condensing sections into notable character development points, and adding further real world analysis and impact with third party sources. Hoping to work this up to a GA and eventually an FA. Thanks!Luminum (talk) 19:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  8. X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Not fully-comics, I know. Rated C-Class, plenty of referenced content. Worthy of a B, and some input on what needs improvement would be nice. igordebraga 02:42, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Star Sapphire (comics) - It's been rated at C class, but I've made a number of significant changes to it. I've corrected grammar, added citations, and done a lot of general clean up. I tried to get a peer review, but no one has responded. So I figured I'd just jump to this. Hooliganb (talk) 17:08, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  10. The Doomsday Scenario - It's been rated Start class, but I suggest it's clearly better than that. It meets the B class checklist criteria, so I think it ought to be B or at least C class, looking at the table above. I can't re-rate it myself because I'm biased, since I wrote most of it. Richard75 (talk) 18:51, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  11. Nightwing - I don't think this is start class anymore. Seeking C-class. 119.11.0.224 (talk) 04:36, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Erfworld - I've streamlined this long and tangled page into something more like an article. Seeking C-class instead of start class. 119.11.0.224 (User:npatchett)
  13. Noel Van Horn - Currently stub-class. Was originally only a few sentences, I expanded and sourced the article. --Grandy02 (talk) 11:44, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  14. Flemming Andersen - Same as Noel Van Horn. --Grandy02 (talk) 11:44, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  15. Eega Beeva - I rearranged, expanded and sourced the article (one citation is still needed, though). Tone should also be appropriate now. --Grandy02 (talk) 14:40, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  16. Mechanismo - I have added references, so it now meets all criteria in the B-Class checklist. Richard75 (talk) 19:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  17. Chief Judge Fargo - added refs, hoping for B-Class. Richard75 (talk) 14:38, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  18. Constantine (film): Previously rated as start class. I've been working immensely to improve the quality of this article. I request for a review as to the current class on the quality scale. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ talk 19:05, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  19. Lucky Luke - Major change in layout and section additions Kasaalan (talk) 14:02, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  20. Democracy (Judge Dredd storyline) - This has been rated as a Good Article; trying to get up to A-Class if possible. Peer review request here. Richard75 (talk) 18:12, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  21. Gladiator - I think this should certainly now be deserving of B-class status, at the very least. Homoaffectional (talk) 20:02, 6 November 2009 (UTC) Updated. Joined the team; reassessed myself. Consider this matter closed. Homoaffectional (talk) 19:09, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  22. Stumptown (comics) - Requesting assessment Chromatikoma (talk) 22:24, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  23. Acme Novelty Library - Would love to see this move from Start class. Jnthn0898 (talk) 10:30, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  24. Bizenghast - Last rated as C-class, but a lot of work (and sources) has been put in since then. Kaguya-chan (talk) 15:14, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  25. Barry_Windsor-Smith I'd appreciate a critique of a number of pages I've done recently, for potential upgrading (of course) and good pointers for future contributions. Hoping to upgrade a significant number of existing pages in 2010, and add more. This would help immensely. Thanks - note: the next entries also link Archiveangel (talk) 02:50, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  26. Dominic_Fortune ... see above Archiveangel (talk) 02:50, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  30. Mystery_in_Space complete re-write, hopefully to reflect classic status better Archiveangel (talk) 10:31, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  32. Thor (film) ... page is currently unassessed. -TriiipleThreat (talk) 21:20, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  33. Viper Comics ... page is currently assessed as advertisement. I've edited the content to more neutral language and added a couple of references. I'm new at this, so let me know what additional edits would be appropriate. --Mettam (talk) 13:05, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  34. Jason Todd Last rated C-Class but it's now been heavily rewritten and developed. [Mike]
