Welcome to the assessment department of the Reformed Christianity WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Reformed Christianity–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 {{WP Reformed Christianity}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Reformed Christianity articles by quality and Category:Reformed Christianity articles by importance.
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 (see Template:WikiProject Reformed Christianity)
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:Unassessed Reformed Christianity articles and Category:Unknown-importance Reformed Christianity articles
- Assessing new items that pop up in the following categories, and don't appear in Category:WikiProject Reformed Christianity:
- Category:Reformed Christianity and any subcategories
- Category:Protestant Reformation
- Pages that link to the above
Templates
Project banner template
If you see an article that should belong to this project but doesn't, please go to its talk page and add
{{WP Reformed Christianity|class=|importance=}}
to the top of the Talk page. This creates a box that looks like
 | Reformed Christianity Unassessed | |||||||||
| ||||||||||
from Template:WP Reformed Christianity
Stub template
To mark an article as a stub, add the following at the bottom:
{{Reformed-Christianity-stub}}
to their page. This creates a box that looks like
from Template:Reformed-Christianity-stub
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 Reformed Christianity 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
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Reformed Christianity}} 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 Reformed Christianity articles) |  FA |
|
| A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Reformed Christianity articles) |  A |
|
| GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Reformed Christianity articles) |  GA |
|
| B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Reformed Christianity articles) | B | |
| C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Reformed Christianity articles) | C | |
| Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Reformed Christianity articles) | Start | |
| Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Reformed Christianity articles) | Stub | |
| FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Reformed Christianity articles) | FL |
|
| List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Reformed Christianity 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.
Quality scale
Importance assessment
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WP Reformed Christianity}} project banner on its talk page:
- {{WP Reformed Christianity| ... | importance=??? | ...}}
| Top |
| High |
| Mid |
| Low |
| ??? |
The following values may be used for importance assessments:
- Top - The article is about one of the core topics of Reformed Christianity. Adds articles to Category:Top-importance Reformed Christianity articles
- High - The article is about the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of Reformed Christianity. Adds articles to Category:High-importance Reformed Christianity articles
- Mid - The article is about a topic within the field of Reformed Christianity that may or may not be commonly known outside the Reformed Christianity community. Adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Reformed Christianity articles
- Low - The article is about a topic that is highly specialized within the field of Reformed Christianity and is not generally common knowledge outside the community. Adds articles to Category:Low-importance Reformed Christianity articles
- Unknown - Any article which has not yet been assessed on the importance scale is automatically added to the Category:Unknown-importance Reformed Christianity articles.
Importance scale
| Label | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editor's experience | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top | The article is one of the core topics about Reformed Christianity. Generally, this is limited to those articles that are included as sections of the main Reformed Christianity article. | A reader who is not involved in the field of Reformed Christianity 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. | Reformed Christianity |
| High | The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding Reformed Christianity. | |||
| Mid | The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in the history of Reformed Christianity. | 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 Reformed Christianity. 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 Reformed Christianity will be rated in this level. | |
| Low | The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Reformed Christianity. | Few readers outside the field of Reformed Christianity 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 Reformed Christianity, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed. Topics included at this level include most practices and infrastructure of Reformed Christianity. |
