Wikipedia:WikiProject Northern Ireland/Article Classification archive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northern Irish articles wikiproject manages several hundred articles related to Northern Ireland, with a broad and nested hierarchy of categories covering them. This section is an attempt to categorise some of the main ones as to quality level and address which ones need work the most.
This is an ongoing task and your help would be appreciated. Have a read of some of the existing classifications so you know what this about, and please do read the instructions before starting, as there are a few tweaks and other jobs we can do at the same time as classifying with minimal extra effort and good returns!

[edit] How to grade
- Locate ungraded Northern Ireland related articles which are within the scope of the project. Those we know about are (will be) in the lists below
- Grade the article using the grading scheme
- Apply small fixes on the spot (or big fixes if you have the time and inclination)
- While you are there, check that the article is in at least one (and usually only one) Northern Ireland category.
- If the article in serious need of some 'tender loving care', add it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Northern Irish articles#Adopt an article
- Add stubs to the "articles to expand" section of the To Do list, add cleanup candidates to that list too
- If the article needs a photo, put a {{Reqphoto}} template onto the article's talk page and add it to the "photos needed" list on the To do page
- If an article might be in need of either merging or splitting, please note the article first and, for merge proposals, any articles you would suggest merging the article into.
[edit] Grading scheme
The following grading scheme and classification system was copied from The Beatles Project which, in turn, follows the criteria established by both WikiProject Ethnic groups and Version 1.0 Editorial Team and was lifted from Wikipedia:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America.
[edit] Sample Table
This table can be copied as is and used as a basis for an entire new type, but for most cases, just copy a row in a table already there to add your new article assessment, and refer to this table to understand the meaning of the columns.
If you don't know how to add or assess an article at these lists, please post at the project talk page instead. Your collaboration will be added here shortly. [edit] Codes and meanings
Note: the idea for the "templates" to simplify the tagging cells came from Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Worklist... thanks to the hard working users there for lots of great ideas about how to do classification! [edit] Partial list of pages covered by the project(Broken into sections for easy editing. The sections are based on (but not completely congruent to) the major or most important categories that the articles are.) Some usage notes: Where the tables have letter headings you can edit just one letter's worth of articles. This reduces edit conflicts but can be more confusing to look at because you are editing the middle of table markup, and the preview will look like jumbled text. If you are not as comfortable, slap an INUSE tag (there's one at the top already, normally commented out, just move the comment arrow to the right of it, and save...) on this whole page and edit the whole table at once... when done, move the comment arrow back to the left of the INUSE tag and Bob's your uncle. Note also that on the class "templates" ... CASE MATTERS. /A-class is not the same as /A-Class [edit] Articles in Category:Northern IrelandThese are some of the primary articles of the project.
