Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Korea! This department focuses on assessing the quality and importance of Wikipedia's Korea-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 {{WikiProject Korea}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Korea-related articles by quality and Category:Korea-related 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 WikiProject Korea 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. Further information can also be found at the WikiProject Council's article assessment FAQ.

[edit] Quality scale

Rating Explanation
FA Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status, and meet the current criteria for featured articles.
FL Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured list" status, and meet the current criteria for featured articles.
A 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 full Korean name table, if applicable. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably peer-reviewed Academic sources. Having completed the Good article designation process is not a requirement for A-Class.
Good article GA Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Good article" status, and meet the current criteria for good articles.
B Has a majority of the material needed for a comprehensive article. Nonetheless, it has some gaps or missing elements or references, needs editing for English language usage and/or clarity, balance of content, or contains other policy problems such as copyright, Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) or No Original Research (NOR).
Start The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas, and may lack a key element. 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, and multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article.
Stub The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much 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.
List The article meets the definition of a stand-alone list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area. There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader. Should not be used for lists outside the main namespace.
NA The page is not an article, and does not require an assessment on the quality or importance scales. This may include disambiguation pages, redirects, templates, categories, or any other pages outside the main namespace.

[edit] Requesting an assessment

If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new quality rating for it, please feel free to list it below. Please note that an importance rating may not be given in some cases if the reviewer is unfamiliar with the subject.

If you assess an article, please strike it off using <s>Strike-through text</s> so that other editors will not waste time going there too. Thanks!

  1. Only You (TV series) Start-class. Looks OK, but it's really just plot summary and cast. The two pictures could do with replacing, if possible. PC78 22:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  2. Republic of Korea passport Was going to rate this as start-class, but you beat me to it! Nice work. PC78 02:59, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  3. Love_Letter_(TV_series) Stextc (talk) 02:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC) This article has not yet been rated. I have made significant changes. Please rate.
  4. Battle of Inchon Why is this article rated low-importance on the importance scale? This is one of the most important battles that occured during the Korean War. L46kok (talk) 15:03, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
