The following system is proposed for use in the Wikiproject Ecuador, for assessing the topic, importance and quality of our articles by use of the {{WikiProject Ecuador}} tag in Ecuador-related articles' talk pages.

The importance system is divided in 4 levels, while the quality system is based on a 7 levels scheme which reflects principally how complete the article is, though the content and language quality are also factors. Once an article reaches the A-Class, it is considered "complete", although obviously edits will continue to be made.

It is critical that people not take these assessments personally. It is understood that we all have different priorities and different opinions about what makes a perfect article.

[edit] Quality scale

Pages progress grading scheme
Featured article Featured article Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status after peer review. Articles are placed in Category:FA-Class Ecuador articles.
A The article provides a well-written and complete description of the topic, as described in How to write a Great Article. It includes a complete article and an appropriate series of headings to break up the article. It should have sufficient external reliable references, and properlly illustrated. It should be at the stage where it could at least be considered for featured article status. Articles are placed in Category:A-Class Ecuador articles.
Good article GA Reserved exclusively for articles that have received Good Article status after peer review. Articles are placed in Category:GA-Class Ecuador articles.
B The article is "almost there" but it may be missing secondary information and details. Alternatively, the English may need a comprehensive rewrite to make it flow. Articles are palced in Category:B-Class Ecuador articles.
Start The article has a good amount of content, but it is still weak in certain areas. Articles are placed in Category:Start-Class Ecuador articles.
Stub The article is either a very short article or a stub that will need a lot of work to bring it to A-Class level, although there may be a significant amount of material in the article. Articles are placed in Category:Stub-Class Ecuador articles.
