Warning This part of the project is now defunct, it was superseded by the more effective evaluation process located at Wikipedia:WikiProject hip hop/Assessment.

Grade school is a sub-page of the Hip hop WikiProject aimed at grading all hip hop articles with a score to identify where each article stands compared to wikipedia's highest standards.

Status Template Meaning
Unrated {{Unrated-Class}} This article has not yet been graded. Please help by grading this article.
Needed {{Needed-Class}} The article hasn't been started yet. You can help by creating it.
Stub {{Stub-Class}} 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.
Start {{Start-Class}} The article has a decent amount of content, but it is still very weak in certain areas, and may lack a table.
B {{B-Class}} The article is "almost there" but it may be missing one of the following: references, balance of content, NPOV or an important section. Alternatively, the English may need a comprehensive rewrite to make it flow.
Good article GA {{GA-Class}} The article has passed through the Good article nomination process and has been granted GA status, meeting the good article standards, but still needs some work to reach featured article standards. Good articles that may succeed in FAC should be considered A-Class articles, but being a good article is not a requirement for A-Class.
A {{A-Class}} The article provides a well-written and complete description of the topic, as described in How to write a Great Article. It includes a well-written introduction to the topic, and an appropriate series of headings to break up the article. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from the "hard" literature rather than websites. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems.
Featured article FA {{FA-Class}} Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status, and meet the current criteria for featured articles.

Please add your article into the table in alphabetical order.

To evaluate articles, just change the template corresponding to the grade you are giving the article. Add your grade and make as many comments as necessary to give the other members of the project a better idea of what needs to be done. If you are the primary or main contributor to an article, feel free to list it, but please refrain from evaluating it. This is to ensure that the evaluations are neutral.
