Article assessment for Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga.

Articles up to and including B class on the assessment scale, you can assess on your own. For featured content and good articles there are established procedures central for Wikipedia. This page is for discussion about A-Class assessment for anime and manga related articles.

Contents 1 A Class criteria 2 Articles 2.1 Air (game) 2.2 Kanon 2.3 Strawberry Panic!

[edit] A Class criteria

The assessment process works by discussion, but is less formal than Good Article or Featured Article promotion. Using the criteria below, an editor that is not a major contributor to the article in question may tag any article as A-Class on his or her own discretion. If another editor disagrees with the assessment, the article can be demoted without a formal review process. If the editors disagree, consensus should be sought with other editors.

From the assessment scale: Good articles that may succeed in FAC should be considered A-Class articles, but having completed the Good article designation process is not a requirement for A-Class.

Article progress grading scheme

Label	Criteria	Reader's experience	Editor's experience	Example
A {{A-Class}}	Provides a well-written, reasonably clear and complete description of the topic, as described in How to write a great article. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, with a well-written introduction and an appropriate series of headings to break up the content. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from "hard" (peer-reviewed where appropriate) literature rather than websites. Should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. At the stage where it could at least be considered for featured article status, corresponds to the "Wikipedia 1.0" standard.	Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting. May miss a few relevant points.	Minor edits and adjustments would improve the article, particularly if brought to bear by a subject-matter expert. In particular, issues of breadth, completeness, and balance may need work. Peer-review would be helpful at this stage.	Durian (as of June 2006)

[edit] Articles

Articles under assessment or recently assessed as A or removed from A-Class. Older discussions are found in the archives.

[edit] Air (game)

Air has already achieved Good Article status, and while it may not be up to af Featured Article yet, I believe it statifies the requirements for an A class article.--十八 09:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

• Not yet It is comprehensive and rated GA, which would make it A-class, but I kind of dispute the GA classification:
  • A couple of blogs in the references section. Is there a good reason for them to be there?

I've removed them.--十八 00:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

• • The lead is inadequate: It should summarize the main points of the article rather than serve as mostly a release history.

I brought up a similar point with the Kanon article. Sections such as Plot, Setting, Themes, and Characters can not properly be included within the lead, or am I wrong? The lead alrady touches on Gameplay. The rest of the article deals with Release history and Adaptations, so why wouldn't they be included within the lead?--十八 00:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Plot, Setting, and Themes must definitely be in the lead, with a less detailed release history. Characters: Maybe. See the Kanon peer review for more.--GunnarRene 17:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

• • I introduced a citation needed in Gameplay.

I removed the sentence that could be disputed.--十八 00:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

• • What IS Sora's true nature.

That can be shown on the List of Air characters article. We are trying to keep spoilers to a minimum on the main page.--十八 00:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, but argue for keeping the level of detail lower per WP:FICTION. See Wikipedia:Spoiler warning#Unacceptable alternatives for why arguing with "it spoils" is a bad idea.--GunnarRene 17:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

• • For that matter, what is the final good end?

Why would that need to be said? And, I do not know either way what the final good end was, or if even there was one.--十八 00:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

OK --GunnarRene 17:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

• • What kind of source is hentai.co.uk? I can't find an "about" section even.

I have stated that it's a site with information on hentai games, among other things I may not be aware of.--十八 00:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

As I said on Kanon, we need more info on the site to evaluate if we can rely on it. (Not rely on as in "yes, it speaks the truth", but reliable as in "yes, they have editorial oversight, can be sued and pay their writers". Heh. See WP:RS) --GunnarRene 17:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

When that is fixed, I'll gladly mark it A. --GunnarRene 19:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

One more thing: Sales should really go into Reception. --GunnarRene 21:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Done.--十八 00:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Address the peer review which repeats some of the points I made above. --GunnarRene 22:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kanon

Kanon has already achieved Good Article status, and while it may not be up to af Featured Article yet, I believe it statifies the requirements for an A class article.--十八 09:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

• Not yet See my peer review response here. --GunnarRene 22:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Strawberry Panic!

Strawberry Panic! has already achieved Good Article status and I believe it statifies the requirements for an A class article at least.--十八 09:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

So you ended up removing some of the dates in the lead? I think that my idea of a History section would have worked since it kept that information and didn't bloat the lead. Anyway since the A-class assessment of criteria of well-written introduction appears to be resolved, I think it should be given A-class status. --Squilibob 23:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, now that the lead can be at least three paragraphs in length, even without the media information, I've moved it into History and included the full dates.--十八 09:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
