[edit] Usage

[edit] Small size option

Setting the parameter |small=yes creates a more compact, right-aligned version. See Talk:Popora people for an example.

[edit] Quality scale

The first table below gives a brief, one-sentence description of possible quality scale values. Before assigning any article to a class, please take a few moments and read the full description of the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team's assessment system.

(Also see the Other Template Parameters, in the second table below.)

Each article may also be assigned to a particular class, intended as a point-in-time assessment of its overall "quality" - relative to the criteria given in the quality scale which is detailed below. Articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed by default in Category:Unassessed Zimbabwe articles.

The following values may be used for the class parameter (they should be entered exactly as given):

Class parameter values (Category:Zimbabwe articles by quality)

Value	Meaning	Category
FA	Articles which are currently Featured status articles.	FA-Class Zimbabwe articles
A	A-class articles.	A-Class Zimbabwe articles
GA	Articles with a current Good article status.	GA-Class Zimbabwe articles
B	B-class articles.	B-Class Zimbabwe articles
Start	Start-class articles.	Start-Class Zimbabwe articles
Stub	Stub-class articles.	Stub-Class Zimbabwe articles
NA	This is used for miscellaneous pages such as disambiguation pages, which do not require an assessment (it is recommended that you use additional class values below, though).	Non-article Zimbabwe pages

[edit] Importance scale

Each article may also be assigned a particular importance; for Zimbabwe related articles, we make a ver simple use of this. Articles for which a valid importance has not yet been provided are listed by default in Category:Unknown-importance Zimbabwe articles.

The following values may be used for the importance parameter (they should be entered exactly as given):

Anyway, exceptions can be considered if necessary.

[edit] Requesting an assessment

If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below.

Requested assessments

• Frederick Russell Burnham - This article on a Rhodesian pioneer has not been categorized or reviewed by WikiProject Zimbabwe, except to add it within the category, but it has just recently been nominated as a Good Article candidate in WP. Additionally, it is considered Top Importance within the Scouting WikiProject and Military People WikiProject categories , and it was selected by the Scouting WikiProjectas the biography of the month for September 2007. The scouting and military folks have made a number of revisions lately to bring it to this point. Thanks for taking a look and for adding your revisions, comments, and assessments. Currently under WP GA assessment. Done, passed GA.

• British South Africa Company Medal - new article Done.

• David Coltart - I've been pretty much the only one largely working on this except for the brief arrival of the mysterious Coltart. Btw, did anyone find out what his/her deal was? Was it Coltart himself? Doubt it though. If Gibson Sibanda can earn a B rating I see no reason why David Coltart should not.

There is no way Gibson Sibanda is B class. I have altered the rating. However, David Coltart is still a little way off a B class rating. Well done on all the work achieved so far.Mangwanani 16:02, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

• Kadoma - The origin of the name and the brief mention of the history of mining in the area need correction and amplification. Could somebody check. I've left a note on the discussion page.Klipdok 15:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
