Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Superman work group/Assessment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Superman. This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Superman related 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 Superman}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Television articles by quality and Category:Superman articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist (Index · Statistics · Log).

Frequently asked questions

[edit]
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 Superman WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article.
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.
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.

Instructions

[edit]

An article's assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Superman}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Superman
| class=
| importance=
| type=
}}

The following values may be used for the class parameter:

Use the type parameter to add any of the following classifications:

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

Importance

[edit]

Don't worry too much about assessing for Importance. It's helpful to have the most vital television articles tagged as Top importance so they can be easily identified as the highest priority, but less influential articles don't really need to be tagged for importance.
