Assessment

Assessment has always seemed to be a black art, so I welcome the opportunity to learn more. I agree the article is no longer a stub but I think it is still at start class. Northfleet is rated as start class, but I would personally rate it as C. But I see Shorne as significantly less developed. We must remember that there are 6 attributes that need to be considered- length is not one of them

Lets start with the description on the Kent quality scale

More detailed criteria The article meets the six B-Class criteria:

B1:The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. The use of either < -ref-> tags or citation templates such as {{cite web}} is not required.

✗ Fail Rule of thumb 1 per paragraph- and one eachtime a wow fact is introduced

B2:The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing.

✗ FailTomonomy, Governance, Geography, dickie birds, geology, industry- military herige and history in general

B3:The article has a defined structure. Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind.

✓ Pass Sort Of! There is too much missing to tell

B4:The article is reasonably well-written. The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it certainly need not be "brilliant". The Manual of Style need not be followed rigorously.

✓ Pass Looks OK

B5:The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content.

✗ Fail It fails on the relevance of the images - the old guard don't like too many pictures as it destroys the display on a smart phone. All imagtes need an alt= text for the non sighted reader describing the contents of the image.

B6:The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way. It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible.

✗ Fail It is lacking too many sections and appeals mainly to lovers of vernacular Kentish architecture.

I was looking today at Chadderton- which has reached FA- it does show what we are aiming to achieve. I did some work years ago on Higham, Meopham, Frindsbury and Strood- and looking at them now they are tired and tatty, and need reworking. So anything I have just said really applies to most of the work that I have done too. --ClemRutter (talk) 13:41, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
