Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs/Assessment
Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Dinosaurs! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Dinosaur 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 recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I add an article to the WikiProject?
- Just add {{WikiProject Dinosaurs}} 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 WikiProject Dinosaurs is free to add—or change—the rating of an article. Please add your name to the list of participants if you wish to assess articles on a regular basis.
If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.
Instructions
The following values may be used for the class parameter:
Articles for which a valid class is not provided should be listed below.
Quality scale
Label | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editor's experience | Examples |
---|---|---|---|---|
FA {{FA-Class}} |
Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status after peer review, and meet the current criteria for featured articles. | Definitive. Outstanding, thorough article; a great source for encyclopedic information. | No further editing necessary, unless new published information has come to light. | Tyrannosaurus |
GA {{GA-Class}} |
The article has passed through the Good article nomination process and been granted GA status, meeting the good article standards. This should be used for articles that still need some work to reach featured article standards, but that are otherwise good. Good articles that may succeed in FAC should be considered A-Class articles, but being a Good article is not a requirement for A-Class. | Useful to nearly all readers. A good treatment of the subject. No obvious problems, gaps, excessive information. Adequate for most purposes, but other encyclopedias could do a better job. | Some editing will clearly be helpful, but not necessary for a good reader experience. If the article is not already fully wikified, now is the time. | Sinosauropteryx |
B {{B-Class}} |
Has several of the elements described in "start", usually a majority of the material needed for a completed article. Nonetheless, it has significant gaps or missing elements or references, needs substantial editing for English language usage and/or clarity, balance of content, or contains other policy problems such as copyright, NPOV or NOR. With NPOV a well written B-class may correspond to the "Wikipedia 0.5" or "usable" standard. Articles that are close to GA status but don't meet the Good article criteria should be B- or Start-class articles. | Useful to many, but not all, readers. A casual reader flipping through articles would feel that they generally understood the topic, but a serious student or researcher trying to use the material would have trouble doing so, or would risk error in derivative work. | Considerable editing is still needed, including filling in some important gaps or correcting significant policy errors. Articles for which cleanup is needed will typically have this designation to start with. | Camarasaurus (as of August 2018) |
Start {{Start-Class}} |
The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas, and may lack a table. For example an article on Africa might cover the geography well, but be weak on history and culture. Has at least one serious element of gathered materials, including any one of the following:
|
Not useless. Some readers will find what they are looking for, but most will not. Most articles in this category have the look of an article "under construction" and a reader genuinely interested in the topic is likely to seek additional information elsewhere. | Substantial/major editing is needed, most material for a complete article needs to be added. This article usually isn't even good enough for a cleanup tag: it still needs to be built. | Pyroraptor (as of August 2018) |
Stub {{Stub-Class}} |
The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to bring it to A-Class level. It is usually very short, but can be of any length if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible. | May be useless to a reader only passingly familiar with the term. Possibly useful to someone who has no idea what the term meant. At best a brief, informed dictionary definition. | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. | Duriavenator (as of August 2018) |
Needed {{Needed-Class}} |
The article does not exist and needs to be created. |
Requesting an assessment
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.
Spinosaurus - Yet to recieve a rating, requires one MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 20:27, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Dilophosaurus - Might be eligible of a better rating than it current rating, C.Evangelos Giakoumatos (talk) 18:52, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- Both have been done. Rainbow Shifter (talk) 17:43, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
