Category:Technology articles by importance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Technology articles rated according to the Wikipedia 1.0 Assesment Scale.

This category contains North Dakota articles rated by the Technology WikiProject. Articles are automatically placed in this category when the corresponding rating is given.

Do not put items in this category. Put them in the appropriate category by adding or editing the article's Template:WikiProject Technology Talk page tag, as follows:

{{WikiProject Technology
 |class= (choose one: FA, A, GA, B, Start, Stub, Dab, Template, Cat, NA)
 |importance= (choose one: Top, High, Mid, Low, NA)
 |needs-infobox= (choose one: Yes No)
 |attention= (choose one: Yes No)
}}

Note: You should not assign any article GA, A, or FA grades arbitrarily.

These labels refer to this grading scheme:

[edit] Importance of topic

Importance or Priority must be regarded as a relative term. If importance values are applied within this project, these only reflect the perceived importance to this project. An article judged to be "Top-Class" in one context may be only "Mid-Class" in another.

By "priority" or "importance" of topics for a static version of the encyclopedia, we generally mean to indicate the level of expectation or desire that the topic would be covered in a traditional encyclopedia.

Consider a hierarchy such as History -> History of Europe -> History of Poland -> Polish kings and queens. An article labeled as "Top-Class" for the subject of history would probably warrant inclusion in V0.5, V1.0 and other releases. A "Top-Class" article for the history of Poland would be a reasonable candidate for inclusion, but most "Top-Class" articles on Polish kings & queens would probably not be included in early releases. Nevertheless such ranking within a subject area is very helpful in deciding which articles are included first as the scope of the Wikipedia 1.0 project expands. Quality articles which are not considered to be on topics important enough for inclusion on V0.5 will be held in a held nominations page, ready for inclusion as the scope expands.

[edit] Version 0.5

Need: The article's priority or importance, regardless of its quality

Top Subject is a must-have for a print encyclopaedia
High Subject contributes a depth of knowledge
Mid Subject fills in more minor details
Low Subject is mainly of specialist interest.

[edit] Version 1.0

The criteria for priority or importance is automatically met by articles on continents, countries and designated core topics.

Other articles or lists nominated should be judged relative to entries that have already been found qualified for 1.0.
