Welcome to the assessment department of the Ireland WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles related to Ireland. 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 {{WikiProject Ireland}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Ireland articles by quality and Category:Ireland articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
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 Ireland 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 Ireland}} project banner on its talk page:
- {{WikiProject Ireland| ... | class=??? | ...}}
FA |
A |
GA |
B |
Start |
Stub |
??? |
Needed |
The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article:
- FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Ireland articles)
- A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Ireland articles)
- GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Ireland articles)
- B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Ireland articles)
- Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Ireland articles)
- Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Ireland articles)
- Needed (for articles that do not yet exist but have been identified as subjects that should be covered; adds articles to Category:Needed-Class Ireland articles)
Template |
Disambig |
Category |
List |
NA |
For pages that are not articles, the following values can also be used for the class parameter:
- Template (for templates; adds pages to Category:Template-Class Ireland articles)
- Dab or Disambig (for disambiguation pages; add pages to Category:Disambig-Class Ireland articles)
- Cat or Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class Ireland articles)
- List (for lists; adds pages to Category:List-Class Ireland articles)
- NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article Ireland pages)
Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Ireland articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.
After assessing an article's quality, comments on the assessment can be added either to the article's talk page or to the /Comments subpage which will appear as a link next to the assessment. Adding comments will add the article to Category:Ireland articles with comments. Comments that are added to the /Comments subpages will be transcluded onto the automatically generated work list pages in the Comments column.
When a "yes" is inserted into the "image-needed'" parameter the page will be listed in Category:Ireland articles needing images.
Quality scale
Class | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editing suggestions | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
FA | The article has attained featured article status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured article candidates. More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured article criteria:
A featured article exemplifies Wikipedia's very best work and is distinguished by professional standards of writing, presentation, and sourcing. In addition to meeting the policies regarding content for all Wikipedia articles, it has the following attributes.
|
Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. | Cleopatra (as of June 2018) |
FL | The article has attained featured list status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured list candidates. More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured list criteria:
|
Professional standard; it comprehensively covers the defined scope, usually providing a complete set of items, and has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about those items. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available. | List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events (as of May 2018) |
A | The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been examined by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class. More detailed criteria
The article meets the A-Class criteria:
Provides a well-written, clear and complete description of the topic, as described in Wikipedia:Article development. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, appropriately structured, and be well referenced by a broad array of reliable sources. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. Only minor style issues and other details need to be addressed before submission as a featured article candidate. See the A-Class assessment departments of some of the larger WikiProjects (e.g. WikiProject Military history). |
Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject would typically find nothing wanting. | Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style problems may need solving. WP:Peer review may help. | Battle of Nam River (as of June 2014) |
GA | The article meets all of the good article criteria, and has been examined by one or more impartial reviewers from WP:Good article nominations. More detailed criteria
A good article is:
|
Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (though not necessarily equalling) the quality of a professional publication. | Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing featured article on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing. | Discovery of the neutron (as of April 2019) |
B | The article meets all of the B-Class criteria. It is mostly complete and does not have major problems, but requires some further work to reach good article standards. More detailed criteria
|
Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher. | A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed. Expert knowledge may be needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the Manual of Style and related style guidelines. | Psychology (as of January 2024) |
C | The article is substantial but is still missing important content or contains irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup. More detailed criteria
The article cites more than one reliable source and is better developed in style, structure, and quality than Start-Class, but it fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements, or need editing for clarity, balance, or flow.
|
Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study. | Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and solve cleanup problems. | Wing (as of June 2018) |
Start | An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources. More detailed criteria
The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas. The article has one or more of the following:
|
Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more. | Providing references to reliable sources should come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Also improve the grammar, spelling, writing style and improve the jargon use. | Ball (as of September 2014) |
Stub | A very basic description of the topic. Meets none of the Start-Class criteria. | Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition. Readers probably see insufficiently developed features of the topic and may not see how the features of the topic are significant. | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. The best solution for a Stub-class Article to step up to a Start-class Article is to add in referenced reasons of why the topic is significant. | Lineage (anthropology) (as of December 2014) |
List | Meets the criteria of a stand-alone list or set index article, which is an article that contains primarily a list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area. | There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader. | Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized. | List of literary movements |
Importance assessment
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Ireland}} project banner on its talk page:
- {{WikiProject Ireland| ... | importance=??? | ...}}
Top |
High |
Mid |
Low |
??? |
The following values may be used for importance assessments:
- Top - adds articles to Category:Top-importance Ireland articles
- High - adds articles to Category:High-importance Ireland articles
- Mid - adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Ireland articles
- Low - adds articles to Category:Low-importance Ireland articles
- Unknown - Any article not rated for importance is automatically added to the Category:Unknown-importance Ireland articles.
Importance scale
The assessment team have developed some criteria specific to Irish articles as guidelines for deciding the importance of articles being assessed. Different criteria tables have been created for different topic groups as shown below.
Label | Criteria | General Irish biographies' | Historic figures, presidents, politicians | Entertainers | Sports people |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Top | High probability that non-Historians would look this up. Limited to the top 5–10 biographies. Must have had a large impact outside of their main discipline, across several generations, and in the majority of the world. For instance, Joyce, affected people in many other countries besides Ireland and for several generations. Members should not give this rating to any biography without first getting Project approval from the other members. | James Joyce | Eamon de Valera | U2 | Barry McGuigan |
High | Must have had a large impact in their main discipline, across a couple of generations. Had some impact outside their country of origin. | Robert Boyle | Garrett Fitzgerald | Rory Gallagher | Roy Keane |
Mid | Important in their discipline. | Bram Stoker | Pat Rabbitte | Neil Jordan | Stephen Roche |
Low | Subject is notable in their main discipline. | Henry Kelly | Edward Guinness | Ciaran Bourke | Peter Lawrie |
Label | Criteria | Cities, towns and villages | Mountains, Lakes and Rivers | Roads | Public Transport |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Top | High probability that general readers outside Ireland would look this up. Well known outside the country and important in the life and history of Ireland. Members should not give this rating to any biography without first getting Project approval from the other members. | Dublin | River Shannon | The M50 | Ryanair |
High | Regarded as very important within the country, perhaps not well known abroad.
Counties or County Towns. |
Sligo | Lough Ree | The N7 road | Dublin Bus |
Mid | Local or regional importance in Ireland. Towns with over 10,000 people which are not officially Cities or County Towns. Lower importance national roads. | Bray | River Suck | The N62 | Luas |
Low | Towns and villages of importance within a county or even just a locality. Geographical features that would be well known to people with an interest in the topic only. Regional and local roads. | Dungarvan | Sugarloaf, west Wicklow | The R747 | Abbeyshrule |
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.
- Cainnech of Aghaboe, I believe this article is within the scope of WikiProject Ireland. It has not yet received a rating on the Project's quality scale or the importance scale. Any rating would be helpful. Okeeffe.christopher (talk) 08:33, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- Nóirín Ní Riain, article is based on written public material. Not yet permission to place a photograph but hunting for it. Suggestions and rating would be helpful. Hans Sentis (talk) 18:48, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- Assessed back in December 2007 as Stub/Low but I have revised it as a Start/Low. ww2censor (talk) 17:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Frank Browne (photographer) was assessed as Start-class by WP Bio, but since this person was a notable Irish citizen, I'd like WP Ireland to assess the article as well. ArcAngel (talk) 17:27, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Assessed as Start/Low. ww2censor (talk) 17:39, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Browne may deserve a higher rating than low-importance. I agree with that assessment on the article as it is now, but if his prolific photography work has received widespread recognition, he might perhaps rank as mid-importance, but the article doesn't say what has happened to his photos other than that they have been found. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- Cooley_(whiskey) can people have a look and tell me what else is needed cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.192.244.131 (talk • contribs) 11:28, March 13, 2008
- Already assessed as Stub/low - assessments requests are just that, this is not an advise column, so please use the article talk page, or the WikiProject talk page as that is more appropriate. ww2censor (talk) 17:23, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Atlantic Quarter, recently expanded. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:38, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- History of County Wexford - Please Rate this page. Dneale52 (talk) 01:46, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Uprated to B-class. See more detailed comments at Talk:History of County Wexford/Comments; this is potentially a featured article. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- Millstreet railway station - I have now contributed a big amount to it and is surely no longer a stub.
- Updated assessment from Stub to Start, but needs grammar, spelling, punctuation to be fixed. It is over-wikified, contains many weasel words and quite a bit of irrelevant verbiage. Really it needs work to even justify the start class, but it is barely past the stub gate.. ww2censor (talk) 23:48, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ivor Guest, 1st Viscount Wimborne - English politician expanded to include his time as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and his role in Easter Rising - Scolaire (talk) 00:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
