The Led Zeppelin WikiProject manages over 600 articles related to Led Zeppelin, with a broad and nested hierarchy of categories covering them. This section is an attempt to categorise some of the main ones as to quality level and address which ones need work the most.

This is an ongoing task and your help would be appreciated. Have a read of some of the existing classifications so you know what this about, and please do read the instructions before starting, as there are a few tweaks and other jobs we can do at the same time as classifying with minimal extra effort and good returns!

[edit] Article Assessment Department

Welcome to WikiProject Led Zeppelin' Article Assessment Department.

[edit] Quick links

[edit] How to grade

  • Locate ungraded Led Zeppelin related articles which are within the scope of the project. Those we know about reside in Category:Unassessed Led Zeppelin articles and Category:Unknown-importance Led Zeppelin articles
  • Grade the article using the grading and importance scheme below.
  • Once graded, the {{WP Led Zeppelin}} template needs to be included (not subst'd) on the Talk page with the correct parameters. (most articles will have it already, but with no parameters).
  • Edit the /comments subpage to add comments about why you rated the article the way you did. Please sign and date your comment with ~~~~ as usual.
  • Apply small fixes on the spot (or big fixes if you have the time and inclination).
  • While you are there, check that the article is in at least one (and usually only one) Led Zeppelin category.
  • If the article is graded better than a stub but it has a stub template, remove the stub template(s) from the article.
  • * If the article in serious need of some 'tender loving care', add it to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Led_Zeppelin#Adopt_an_article
  • Add stubs to the "articles to expand" section of the To Do list, add cleanup candidates to that list too.
  • If the article needs a photo, put a {{Reqphoto}} template onto the article's talk page and add it to the "photos needed" list on the To do page
  • If an article might be in need of either merging or splitting, please note the article first and, for merge proposals, any articles you would suggest merging the article into. update this

[edit] Examples

Place some examples of the template usage/grading procedure here.

  • For example, change {{WP Led Zeppelin}} to {{WP Led Zeppelin|B|Low}} if you think it's a low importance B class article... then explain why on the comments subpage which you can get to by clicking on the edit link in the WP Led Zeppelin box.

[edit] Grading scheme

[edit] Codes and meanings

[edit] Article progress grading scheme

Status Meaning of Status
Needed The article hasn't been started yet. You can help by creating it.
Merge The article is a merge candidate, as it probably should not stand on its own. Remarks should clarify suggested merge target. If multiple articles are to be merged into one, or if the issue is complicated, it is advised to list it at the end of this article. (Pages relating to the general history of Led Zeppelin can be listed for discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Led Zeppelin/Led Zeppelin history where the merger of History of Led Zeppelin and related articles is being pondered.)
Merge or Delete This WikiProject acknowledges that not everything which can be said about Led Zeppelin belongs in a general enyclopedia. This article is a candidate for a deletion nomination or at best a merge of whatever useful info is in it, to some other article. Suggest the other article if you can. A redirect should be left behind whether info is merged or tossed.
Merge Article has been merged and is now a redirect.
AfD This WikiProject acknowledges that not everything which can be said about Led Zeppelin belongs in a general enyclopedia. This article is a candidate for AfD and it is so off, that it is recommended that no redirect should be left behind.
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.
Start The article has a decent amount of content, but it is still very weak in certain areas (remarks should clarify where), and may lack a table.
B 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.
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 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.
Good article GA Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Good Article" status, and meet the current criteria for Good Articles. Article should be at or around A-class to receive this tag.
Featured article FA Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status, and meet the current criteria for featured articles.

[edit] Article importance grading scheme

Status Meaning of Status
Top This article is of the utmost importance to this project, as it forms the basis of all information.
High This article is fairly important to this project, as it covers a general area of knowledge.
Mid This article is relatively important to this project, as it fills in some more specific knowledge of certain areas.
Low This article is of little importance to this project, but it covers a highly specific area of knowledge or an obscure piece of trivia.
None This article is of unknown importance to this project. It remains to be analyzed.

[edit] {{WP Led Zeppelin}} instructions

[edit] About the template

This template adds article talk pages, category talk pages, template talk pages, etc (whatever it is placed on) to Category:WikiProject Led Zeppelin articles. It is also used to track article classifications and presents readers with a current "to do" list.

Please be very careful when editing this template if you don't understand MediaWiki Parser Functions. This template is now very complicated and could easily be broken. (Note that you may find m:Magic_words and m:ParserFunctions very helpful in understanding what this does... consider consulting with User:MegX or User:Anger22 before making any changes, please)

The usage instructions are now stored in a separate page - Wikipedia:WikiProject Led Zeppelin/Project banner - and may be safely edited by any project member.

[edit] Usage

Please note: This template should be transcluded ({{WP Led Zeppelin}}) and not substituted (subst) because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages without having to edit hundreds of pages.

A simple way to use the template is to copy the following onto the talk page, and then optionally remove the unnecessary lines. If any further help is needed, please ask at WT:LZ or ask User:MegX or User:Anger22.

{{WP Led Zeppelin
|living = 
|class = 
|importance = 
|swan = 
|page = 
|plant = 
|jones = 
|bonham = 
|grant = 
|jbonham = 
|also-led-zeppelin = 
|display = 
|album = 
|song = 
|musician = 
|arts = 
|album-importance = 
|bio-importance = 
|song-importance = 
|attention = 
|needs-infobox = 
}}

[edit] Parameters

[edit] Example 1: basic

{{WP Led Zeppelin}}

For main space articles which have not yet been assessed, simply use {{WP Led Zeppelin}}. This default places the article in Category:Unassessed Led Zeppelin articles and Category:Unknown-importance Led Zeppelin articles, and doesn't change the wording of the template in any way.

[edit] Example 2: full

Todo: Some examples (with named articles) of how to use the new template. Or are folks happy with the above instructions?
