Revision as of 18:29, 26 October 2011
One of the main tasks of the LGBT WikiProject is to assess the quality of Wikipedia's LGBT articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to help in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. They also play a role in the WP:1.0 program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process.
The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject LGBT studies}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:LGBT articles by quality, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist. WP:1.0 also produces a statistics page, and a log of articles assessed.
How to assess an article
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject LGBT studies}} project banner on its talk page: {{WikiProject LGBT studies|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 LGBT articles) | ![]() |
|
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class LGBT articles) | ![]() |
|
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class LGBT articles) | ![]() |
|
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class LGBT articles) | B | |
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class LGBT articles) | C | |
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class LGBT articles) | Start | |
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class LGBT articles) | Stub | |
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class LGBT articles) | ![]() |
|
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class LGBT articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class LGBT articles) | Category | |
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class LGBT articles) | Disambig | |
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class LGBT articles) | Draft | |
File (for files and timed text; adds pages to Category:File-Class LGBT articles) | File | |
Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class LGBT articles) | Portal | |
Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class LGBT articles) | Project | |
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds pages to Category:Redirect-Class LGBT articles) | Redirect | |
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class LGBT articles) | Template | |
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class LGBT articles) | NA | |
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed LGBT articles) | ??? |
Where to find unassessed articles
Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed LGBT articles. The criteria for the different classes is below.
Articles which are in LGBT categories (possibly inappropriately - watch out for vandalism!) but which don't yet have an LGBT template are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Cat Search 4 New Pages.
Quality scale
WikiProject LGBT Studies uses the same criteria for grading articles as set out by the Version 1.0 Editorial Team. If you are not sure what class an article falls under, leave a note on the WikiProject's talkpage, and someone will help you out.
Class | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editing suggestions | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
The article has attained featured article status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured article candidates. More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured article criteria:
A featured article exemplifies Wikipedia's very best work and is distinguished by professional standards of writing, presentation, and sourcing. In addition to meeting the policies regarding content for all Wikipedia articles, it has the following attributes.
|
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. | Same-sex marriage in Spain (as of September 2010) |
![]() |
The article has attained featured list status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured list candidates. More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured list criteria:
|
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; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. | List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: A (as of September 2010) |
![]() |
The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been examined by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class. More detailed criteria
The article meets the A-Class criteria:
Provides a well-written, clear and complete description of the topic, as described in Wikipedia:Article development. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, appropriately structured, and be well referenced by a broad array of reliable sources. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. Only minor style issues and other details need to be addressed before submission as a featured article candidate. See the A-Class assessment departments of some of the larger WikiProjects (e.g. WikiProject Military history). |
Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject would typically find nothing wanting. | Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style problems may need solving. WP:Peer review may help. | Matthew Shepard (as of September 2010) |
![]() |
The article meets all of the good article criteria, and has been examined by one or more impartial reviewers from WP:Good article nominations. More detailed criteria
A good article is:
|
Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (though not necessarily equalling) the quality of a professional publication. | 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. | Harisu (as of September 2010) |
B | The article meets all of the B-Class criteria. It is mostly complete and does not have major problems, but requires some further work to reach good article standards. More detailed criteria
|
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. Expert knowledge may be needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the Manual of Style and related style guidelines. | Gay icon (as of September 2010) |
C | The article is substantial but is still missing important content or contains irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup. More detailed criteria
The article cites more than one reliable source and is better developed in style, structure, and quality than Start-Class, but it fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements, or need editing for clarity, balance, or flow.
|
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 solve cleanup problems. | Trans woman (as of September 2010) |
Start | An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources. More detailed criteria
The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas. The article has one or more of the following:
|
Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more. | Providing references to reliable sources should come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Also improve the grammar, spelling, writing style and improve the jargon use. | Boystown, Chicago (as of September 2010) |
Stub | A very basic description of the topic. Meets none of the Start-Class criteria. | Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition. Readers probably see insufficiently developed features of the topic and may not see how the features of the topic are significant. | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. The best solution for a Stub-class Article to step up to a Start-class Article is to add in referenced reasons of why the topic is significant. | Radio Q (as of December 2007) |
List | Meets the criteria of a stand-alone list or set index article, 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. | List of LGBT events (as of September 2010) |
Category | Any category falls under this class. | Categories are mainly used to group together articles within a particular subject area. | Large categories may need to be split into one or more subcategories. Be wary of articles that have been miscategorized. | Category:LGBT |
Importance
An importance parameter has not been added to the project tag for talk pages, though this has been proposed. Currently "core" articles are being identified at Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Core topics.
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. NOTE: This is only to rate the article on quality - you may or may not get feedback on the article.
If you assess an article, please add the {{done}} template, that shows a green check mark and the bolded word "Done", immediately after the entry so that other editors will not waste time going there too. Thanks!

- Jerold Krieger I greatly expanded this article based on extensive research of available Internet sources. It is approved for DYK but is not yet in the queue ("Did you know that Judge Jerold Krieger was a co-founder of the first lesbian and gay synagogue"). I believe it is close to if not above class B.

- Jon-Henri Damski All of the issues raised in 2009 and 2010 have been addressed in the Talk page, with the exception of the closeness of the subject to the main editor (1 of 4 contributors). These were: (a) Conflict of Interest (Interests stated clearly in Talk) (b) References/Single Source (80 sources, 50 third-party publications, 10 authors; are LGBTQ weekly publications not considered as "reputable sources"?) (c) Essay Style (pointers, please.) Might the SA rating be revised, or more specific instructions for revision be made? Thank-you!
- Challengers (manga) - hasn't been assessed in years. Please reassess. KudouUsagi (talk) 06:32, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
