Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed Drinks/Assessment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mixed Drink and Drinkware WikiProject manages many articles related to alcoholic and non-alcoholic mixed drinks, with a broad and nested hierarchy of categories covering them. This section is an attempt to categorize 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] How to grade
- Locate ungraded mixed drink related articles which are within the scope of the Project. Those we know about reside in Category:Unassessed mixed drink articles and Category:Unassessed-importance mixed drink articles
- Grade the article using the grading and importance scheme below.
- Once graded, the {{WPMIX}} template needs to be included (not subst'd) on the Talk page with the correct parameters. (Some articles may have it already, but without 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) mixed drink category, with the exception of drinks that may be cross-listed with mixed drink shooters and drink shots.
- 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 Mixed Drinks#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.
[edit] Examples
Place some examples of the template usage/grading procedure here.
- For example, change {{WPMix}} to {{WPMix|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 WPMix 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. |
Merge or Delete | This WikiProject acknowledges that not everything which can be said about mixed drinks belongs in a general encyclopedia. This article is a candidate integration into the List of cocktails or a similar list, a transwiki of recipe information into the Bartending Wikibooks, or 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. Articles consisting of only drink recipes fall into this class. A redirect should be left behind whether info is merged or tossed. |
Article has been merged and is now a redirect. | |
AfD | This WikiProject acknowledges that not everything which can be said about the mixed drinks belongs in a general encyclopedia. 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. |
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. |
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. |
