Welcome to the assessment department of the College basketball WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's college basketball articles.
The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject College basketball}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:College basketball articles by quality and Category:College basketball articles by importance, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I add an article to the College basketball WikiProject?
- Just add {{WikiProject College basketball}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
- 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 College Basketball 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.
- Where can I get more comments about my article?
- This does not exist for this project yet. Perhaps you could join the project and create a peer review system?
- What if I don't agree with a quality 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.
- What if I don't agree with an importance rating?
- If you believe an item is mis-classed or its class has since changed, please list it in the Requesting an assessment with your reasons. Please see the importance scale below and make sure your claims follow the criteria listed.
- Aren't the ratings subjective?
- Yes, they are (see, in particular, the disclaimers on the importance scale), 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!
- How can I keep track of changes in article ratings?
- A full log of changes over the past thirty days is available here. If you are just looking for an overview, however, the monthly statistics may be more accessible.
- Can I review my own article?
- You may not rate your own articles. New articles should be added to the peer review section of assessment. Large changes to articles that may change the quality should be added to the Requesting an assessment section. Articles that may need a change in Importance status should be listed in the Importance review section.
If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department, or to contact the project coordinators directly.

Instructions
An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{WikiProject College basketball}} project banner on its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax):
- {{WikiProject College basketball| class=??? | importance=???}} (These are currently the only options)
While assessing articles, please rate the class and importance with a capital letter. This will insure uniformity on the template.
The following values may be used for the class parameter:
- FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class college basketball articles)
- A (adds articles to Category:A-Class college basketball articles)
- GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class college basketball articles)
- B (adds articles to Category:B-Class college basketball articles)
- C (adds articles to Category:C-Class college basketball articles)
- Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class college basketball articles)
- Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class college basketball articles)
- List (adds articles to Category:List-Class college basketball articles)
- Future (adds articles to Category:Future-Class college basketball articles)
- Current (adds articles to Category:Current-Class college basketball articles)
- NA (for pages, such as templates or disambiguation pages, where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class college basketball articles)
Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed college basketball articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.
The following values may be used for the importance parameter:
- Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance college basketball articles)
- High (adds articles to Category:High-importance college basketball articles)
- Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance college basketball articles)
- Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance college basketball articles)
- NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance college basketball articles)
The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below.
Quality scale
Importance scale
The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to students or fans of college basketball. Furthermore, there are always exceptions to every rule so editors should use their best judgment rather than rigorously following the guidelines.
Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country, state or region in which they hold said notability. Thus, topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated.
