Welcome to the assessment department of the WikiProject Bulgaria! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles related to Bulgaria. The article ratings are 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 {{WPBG}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Bulgaria articles by quality and Category:Bulgaria articles by importance.

How can I get my article rated?

As a member of the WikiProject Bulgaria, you can do it yourself. If you're unsure, list it in the section for assessment requests below.

Who can assess articles?

Any member of the WikiProject Bulgaria 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?

Contact (to be determined) who will handle it or assign the issue to someone.

What if I don't agree with a rating?

Relist it as a request or contact (to be determined) who will handle it or assign the issue to someone.

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!

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 (to be determined) directly.

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Bulgaria}} 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 Bulgaria articles)		FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Bulgaria articles)		A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Bulgaria articles)		GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Bulgaria articles)		B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Bulgaria articles)		C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Bulgaria articles)		Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Bulgaria articles)		Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Bulgaria articles)		FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Bulgaria articles)		List

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

Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class Bulgaria pages)		Category
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class Bulgaria pages)		Disambig
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class Bulgaria pages)		Draft
FM (for featured media only; adds pages to Category:FM-Class Bulgaria pages)		FM
File (for files and timed text; adds pages to Category:File-Class Bulgaria pages)		File
Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class Bulgaria pages)		Portal
Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class Bulgaria pages)		Project
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds pages to Category:Redirect-Class Bulgaria pages)		Redirect
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class Bulgaria pages)		Template
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Bulgaria pages)		NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Bulgaria articles)		???

The following values may be used for the importance parameter:

• Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Bulgaria articles)
• High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Bulgaria articles)
• Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Bulgaria articles)
• Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Bulgaria 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.

For the quality scale please use the Category:Bulgaria articles by quality page.

For the Importance scale use the Category:Bulgaria articles by importance

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 of military history. Importance does not equate to quality; a featured article could rate 'mid' on importance.

Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country 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.

• The importance scale for the towns, provinces are determined by: High Importance: Capital and population higher than a million.
• The importance scale for the biographies are determined by:
• The importance scale for the current events are determined by:

It is vital that people not take these assessments personally. It is understood that we all have different priorities and different opinions about what makes a perfect article. It is proposed that coordinator who performs a complete assessment on each page on that list every three months. If you contribute a lot of content to an article you may request an independent assessment.
