Wikipedia:WikiProject Charismatic Christianity/Assessment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the assessment department of the Charismatic Christianity WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Charismatic Christianity related 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 recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{CharismaticWikiProject}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Charismatic Christianity articles by quality and Category:Charismatic Christianity articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

[edit] 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 Charismatic Christianity 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.

[edit] Quality assessments

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{CharismaticWikiProject}} project banner on its talk page:

{{CharismaticWikiProject| ... | 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 Charismatic Christianity articles)
• A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Charismatic Christianity articles)
• GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Charismatic Christianity articles)
• B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Charismatic Christianity articles)
• Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Charismatic Christianity articles)
• Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Charismatic Christianity 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 Charismatic Christianity articles)

Template

Disambig

Category

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 Charismatic Christianity articles)
• Dab or Disambig (for disambiguation pages; add pages to Category:Disambig-Class Charismatic Christianity articles)
• Cat or Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class Charismatic Christianity articles)
• NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article Charismatic Christianity pages)

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed-Class Charismatic Christianity 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:Charismatic Christianity 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.

[edit] Quality scale

Article progress grading scheme [  v • d • e  ]

Label	Criterion	Reader's experience	Editor's experience	Example
FA {{FA-Class}}	Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status, and meet the current criteria for featured articles.	Definitive. Outstanding, thorough article; a great source for encyclopedic information.	No further additions are necessary unless new published information has come to light, but further improvements to the text are often possible.	Tourette Syndrome (as of June 2008)
FL {{FL-Class}}	Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured lists" status, and meet the current criteria for featured lists.	Definitive. Outstanding, thorough list; a great source for encyclopedic information.	No further additions are necessary unless new published information has come to light, but further improvements to the text are often possible.	FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives (as of January 2008)
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 reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy (peer-reviewed where appropriate). 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 March 2007)
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 acceptable. 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.	Useful to nearly all readers. A good treatment of the subject. No obvious problems, gaps, or 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.	International Space Station (as of February 2007)
B {{B-Class}}	Commonly the highest article grade that is assigned outside a more formal review process. Has several of the elements described in "start", usually a majority of the material needed for a comprehensive article. Nonetheless, it has some gaps or missing elements or references, needs editing for language usage or clarity, balance of content, or contains other policy problems such as copyright, Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) or No Original Research (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.	Jammu and Kashmir (as of October 2007) has a lot of helpful material but needs more prose content and references.
Start {{Start-Class}}	The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas, and may lack a key element. 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: a particularly useful picture or graphic multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic a subheading that fully treats an element of the topic multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article	Useful to some, provides a moderate amount of information, but many readers will need to find additional sources of information. The article clearly needs to be expanded.	Substantial/major editing is needed, most material for a complete article needs to be added. This article still needs to be completed, so an article cleanup tag is inappropriate at this stage.	Real analysis (as of November 2006)
Stub {{Stub-Class}}	The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need extensive 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.	Possibly useful to someone who has no idea what the term meant. May be useless to a reader only passingly familiar with the term. At best a brief, informed dictionary definition.	Any editing or additional material can be helpful.	Coffee table book (as of July 2005)

[edit] Importance assessment

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{CharismaticWikiProject}} project banner on its talk page:

{{CharismaticWikiProject| ... | importance=??? | ...}}

Top

High

Mid

Low

???

The following values may be used for importance assessments:

• Top - The article is about one of the core topics of Charismatic Christianity. Adds articles to Category:Top-importance Charismatic Christianity articles
• High - The article is about the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of Charismatic Christianity. Adds articles to Category:High-importance Charismatic Christianity articles
• Mid - The article is about a topic within the religion field that may or may not be commonly known outside the Charismatic Christianity community. Adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Charismatic Christianity articles
• Low - The article is about a topic that is highly specialized within the Charismatic Christianity field and is not generally common knowledge outside the Charismatic Christianity community. Adds articles to Category:Low-importance Charismatic Christianity articles
• Unknown - if any article has not been specifically rated on the importance ranking, then it is automatically put into the Category:Unknown-importance Charismatic Christianity articles.

[edit] Importance scale

Label	Criteria	Reader's experience	Editor's experience	Example
Top	The article is one of the core topics about Charismatic Christianity.	A reader who is not involved in the field of religion will have high familiarity with the subject matter and should be able to relate to the topic easily.	Articles in this importance range are written in mostly generic terms, leaving technical terms and descriptions for more specialized pages.	Charismatic Christianity
High	The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding Charismatic Christianity.
Mid	The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in Charismatic Christianity.	Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject.	Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand Charismatic Christianity, such as specific aspects of more-widely known faiths. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text. Most people involved in Charismatic Christianity will be rated in this level.
Low	The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Charismatic Christianity.	Few readers outside the Charismatic Christianity field or that are not adherents to it may be familiar with the subject matter. It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article.	Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of Charismatic Christianity, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed. Topics included at this level include most practices and infrastructure of Charismatic Christianity.

Given the number and variety of articles with which this project shall be dealing, I believe that we should devote a good deal of attention in the short run to determining which of the articles we consider to be of greatest importance to the project. We now have a page at Wikipedia:WikiProject Charismatic Christianity/Assessment/Top-importance articles where we can discuss which articles should receive top-importance ranking. Any and all input is more than welcome.

[edit] 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.

• International Pentecostal Holiness Church-Consider moving from start class. Ltwin (talk) 19:03, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
• Graham Pulkingham - Consider moving from Stub Class. The article has section headings and there is at least some information for each stage of his life apart from childhood. Needs much more work, but no longer seems now to fit the description for Stub Class.--Chris Jefferies (talk) 15:16, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
