Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Science Fiction! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's science fiction related articles. Article ratings are used within the project 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 {{Science Fiction Project}} banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Science fiction articles by quality and Category:Science fiction articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for a worklist for the project.

How can I get my article rated?

Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.

Who can assess articles?

Any member of WikiProject Science Fiction 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?

If you disagree with a rating on an article you created, 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. If you disagree with a rating on an article you did not create, feel free to change it.

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.

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Science Fiction}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

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 science fiction articles)		FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class science fiction articles)		A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class science fiction articles)		GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class science fiction articles)		B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class science fiction articles)		C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class science fiction articles)		Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class science fiction articles)		Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class science fiction articles)		FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class science fiction articles)		List

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:

After assessing an article's quality, any comments on the assessment can be added to the article's talk page.

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

The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):

If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below.

If you assess a requested article, please strike it off so that other editors will not waste time going there too. Comments are not mandatory and any should be left at the article's talk page; the list below will be wiped periodically; if you registered a request below and it has been fulfilled, please consider coming back and removing it from the list yourself.

• Who? (novel). The importance of this Algis Budrys novel cannot overstated. For the moment, a "mid-importance" assessment would be the least we can do. -The Gnome (talk) 12:42, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• George Edgar Slusser still unassessed despite having already been a DYK. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:31, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Rachel Aaron — science fiction and fantasy author. Article was improved while the subject of an AfD. Consensus was to Keep. Scottyoak2 (talk) 18:39, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Void Star: request assessment of this article I have created. Thanks, M.Kayali (talk) 03:19, 3 September 2017 (UTC).[reply]
• Binary stars in fiction: I removed a large amount of fluff and now it may meet the criteria for C-class. The other associated WikiProjects have been notified. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:34, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• America 3000: I'm a student editor and selected this page as my main project. I've made extensive revisions to the article. Prior to my work the article was considered a Stub. I believe it is now at minimum a 'start'. WillKBeatty (talk) 17:40, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• The Colors of Space: I've added a plot summary and 1 link, making it longer than a typical stub. I'd like to know if it can be considered start-class. Thanks, Pastychomper (talk) 12:18, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• The Unbalancing: requesting assessment of this article for the novel The Unbalancing by R. B. Lemberg. CorundumCat (talk) 13:01, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
