The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's swimming and water sports 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 {{WP Swimming}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist.
Automation
The automation department uses various automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be extremely tedious to do manually; it collects requests for tasks, discusses whether they are suitable for automation, and attempts to match them with bot operators or users of semi-automated tools for implementation. All project members are invited to request tasks and to comment on the suitability of outstanding requests.
Peer review
The peer review department conducts peer reviews of swimming and water sports related articles on request; this helps to obtain ideas for further improvement by having contributors who may not have previously worked on particular articles examine them. Project members are invited to submit articles to the department in lieu of using the generic peer review process.
To-do
- Please add {{swimming-bio-stub}} to all stub-articles about swimmers.
- Please add {{US-swimming-bio-stub}} to all stub-articles about United States swimmers.
- Please add {{euro-swimming-bio-stub}} to all stub-articles about European swimmers.
- Please add {{Australia-swimming-bio-stub}} to all stub-articles about Australian swimmers.
- Please add {{Netherlands-swimming-bio-stub}} to all stub-articles about Dutch swimmers.
- Per WP:MOS, use between numbers and units, eg 100 m, 2.2 s. in the case of "x" in a relay, use ×, ie 4×100 m.
