Welcome to the assessment department of the Arminianism WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Arminianism-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 project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Arminianism articles by quality and Category:Arminianism articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
Simple howto
The basic process
- Find an article to assess (see below)
- Assess it according to the assessment criteria (see below, under Instructions)
- Enter your findings in the template on the talk page.
Finding an article to assess: the tagging process
There are a variety of ways of finding an article to tag. These include:
- Stumbling across one in your wanderings
- Looking at Category:Unknown-importance Arminianism articles
- Category:Arminianism and any subcategories
- Pages that link to the above (see tagging link, above)

Frequently asked questions
- 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 Arminianism 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
Quality assessments
After assessing an article's quality, comments on the assessment can be added to the article's talk page.
Quality scale
Importance assessment
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the project banner on its talk page:
| Top |
| High |
| Mid |
| Low |
| ??? |
The following values may be used for importance assessments:
- Top - The article is about one of the core topics of Arminianism. Adds articles to Category:Top-importance Arminianism articles
- High - The article is about the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of Arminianism. Adds articles to Category:High-importance Arminianism articles
- Mid - The article is about a topic within the Arminianism field that may or may not be commonly known outside the Arminianism community. Adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Arminianism articles
- Low - The article is about a topic that is highly specialized within the Arminianism field and is not generally common knowledge outside the community. Adds articles to Category:Low-importance Arminianism articles
- Unknown - Any article which has not yet been assessed on the importance scale is automatically added to the Category:Unknown-importance Arminianism articles.
Importance scale
| Label | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editor's experience | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top | The article is one of the core topics about Arminianism. Generally, this is limited to those articles that are included as sections of the main Arminianism article. | A reader who is not involved in the field of Arminianism will have high familiarity with the subject matter and should be able to relate to the topic easily. | Articles in this importance range are written in mostly generic terms, leaving technical terms and descriptions for more specialized pages. | Arminianism |
| High | The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding Arminianism. | |||
| Mid | The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in the history of Arminianism. | Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject. | Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand Arminianism. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text. Most people involved in Arminianism will be rated in this level. | |
| Low | The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Arminianism. | Few readers outside the Arminianism field or that are not adherents to atheism may be familiar with the subject matter. It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article. | Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of Arminianism, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed. Topics included at this level include most practices and infrastructure of Arminianism. |
