Welcome to the assessment department of the Intelligent design WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles about the Intelligent design and related topics. 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 intelligent design}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Intelligent design articles by quality and Category:Intelligent design 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 the Intelligent design WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article.
- 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.
[edit] Instructions
An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{WikiProject intelligent design }} project banner on its talk page:
{{WikiProject intelligent design |class= |importance= |attention= |collaboration-candidate= |past-collaboration= |peer-review= |old-peer-review= |needs-infobox= }}
The following values may be used for the class parameter:
- FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Intelligent design articles)
- A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Intelligent design articles)
- GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Intelligent design articles)
- B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Intelligent design articles)
- Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Intelligent design articles)
- Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Intelligent design articles)
- NA (for pages, such as templates or disambiguation pages, where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article Intelligent design pages)
Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Intelligent design articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.
[edit] Quality scale
Label | Criterion | Reader's experience | Editor's experience | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
FA {{FA-Class}} |
Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status, and meet the current criteria for featured articles. | Definitive. Outstanding, thorough article; a great source for encyclopedic information. | No further additions are necessary unless new published information has come to light, but further improvements to the text are often possible. | Tourette Syndrome (as of July 2007) |
FL {{FL-Class}} |
Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured lists" status, and meet the current criteria for featured lists. | Definitive. Outstanding, thorough list; a great source for encyclopedic information. | No further additions are necessary unless new published information has come to light, but further improvements to the text are often possible. | FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives (as of January 2008) |
A {{A-Class}} |
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 well-written introduction and an appropriate series of headings to break up the content. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy (peer-reviewed where appropriate). Should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. At the stage where it could at least be considered for featured article status, corresponds to the "Wikipedia 1.0" standard. | Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting. May miss a few relevant points. | Minor edits and adjustments would improve the article, particularly if brought to bear by a subject-matter expert. In particular, issues of breadth, completeness, and balance may need work. Peer-review would be helpful at this stage. | Durian (as of March 2007) |
GA {{GA-Class}} |
The article has passed through the Good article nomination process and been granted GA status, meeting the good article standards. This should be used for articles that still need some work to reach featured article standards, but that are otherwise acceptable. Good articles that may succeed in FAC should be considered A-Class articles, but having completed the Good article designation process is not a requirement for A-Class. | Useful to nearly all readers. A good treatment of the subject. No obvious problems, gaps, or excessive information. Adequate for most purposes, but other encyclopedias could do a better job. | Some editing will clearly be helpful, but not necessary for a good reader experience. If the article is not already fully wikified, now is the time. | International Space Station (as of February 2007) |
B {{B-Class}} |
Commonly the highest article grade that is assigned outside a more formal review process. Has several of the elements described in "start", usually a majority of the material needed for a comprehensive article. Nonetheless, it has some gaps or missing elements or references, needs editing for language usage or clarity, balance of content, or contains other policy problems such as copyright, Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) or No Original Research (NOR). With NPOV a well written B-class may correspond to the "Wikipedia 0.5" or "usable" standard. Articles that are close to GA status but don't meet the Good article criteria should be B- or Start-class articles. | Useful to many, but not all, readers. A casual reader flipping through articles would feel that they generally understood the topic, but a serious student or researcher trying to use the material would have trouble doing so, or would risk error in derivative work. | Considerable editing is still needed, including filling in some important gaps or correcting significant policy errors. Articles for which cleanup is needed will typically have this designation to start with. | Jammu and Kashmir (as of October 2007) has a lot of helpful material but needs more prose content and references. |
Start {{Start-Class}} |
The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas, and may lack a key element. For example an article on Africa might cover the geography well, but be weak on history and culture. Has at least one serious element of gathered materials, including any one of the following:
|
Useful to some, provides a moderate amount of information, but many readers will need to find additional sources of information. The article clearly needs to be expanded. | Substantial/major editing is needed, most material for a complete article needs to be added. This article still needs to be completed, so an article cleanup tag is inappropriate at this stage. | Real analysis (as of November 2006) |
Stub {{Stub-Class}} |
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. | Possibly useful to someone who has no idea what the term meant. May be useless to a reader only passingly familiar with the term. At best a brief, informed dictionary definition. | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. | Coffee table book (as of July 2005) |
[edit] Importance scale
The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to students of the Caribbean.
Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country or region in which they hold said notability. Thus, topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated.
Status | Template | Meaning of Status |
---|---|---|
Top | {{Top-Class}} | This article is of the utmost importance to this project, as it forms the basis of all information. |
High | {{High-Class}} | This article is fairly important to this project, as it covers a general area of knowledge. |
Mid | {{Mid-Class}} | This article is relatively important to this project, as it fills in some more specific knowledge of certain areas. |
Low | {{Low-Class}} | 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 | None | This article is of unknown importance to this project. It remains to be analyzed. |
[edit] Importance assessment
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject intelligent design}} project banner on its talk page:
- {{WikiProject intelligent design| ... | importance=??? | ...}}
Top |
High |
Mid |
Low |
??? |
The following values may be used for importance assessments:
- Top - The article is about one of the core topics of intelligent design as listed in {{Intelligent design topics}}. Adds articles to Category:Top-importance Intelligent design articles
- High - The article is about the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of intelligent design. Adds articles to Category:High-importance Intelligent design articles
- Mid - The article is about a topic within the intelligent design field that may or may not be commonly known outside the intelligent design community. Adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Intelligent design articles
- Low - The article is about a topic that is highly specialized within the field of intelligent design studies and is not generally common knowledge outside that community. Adds articles to Category:Low-importance Intelligent design articles
We are currently discussing which articles should be counted as being of Top-importance at Wikipedia:WikiProject intelligent design/Assessment/Top-importance articles.

Intelligent design [1] | Top | February 23, 2007 | FA | I think you could improve this page by removing it, this page much like this statement is no more than opinion! These people who support ID really need to reevaluate their belief system! Would you just run around stating how correct you are without having proof? No, in any real science there has to be proof of existence and proof of interaction. These statements have no more depth to them than the question of does my hand really exist; just cause I see and feel it? Two words: Prove it!

Ann Coulter [25] | Low | July 13, 2007 | B | Toward the end of the Coulter article, it sounds as though Coulter has morphed into a comedian. A tough-sounding, but ultimately "funny" person -- sort of the Bernie Mac of conservatives. (If you've heard Bernie's take on beating children in the "Kings of Comedy" movie, you'll have some notion of what I mean.)
So does this mean that Coulter should be identified as something like "political humorist and author." And the fact that she exhaustively documents her books with endnotes would seem to be pointless, if we are supposed to take her personal attacks (blowing up the New York Times) as a "just a joke" and satire.

Kent Hovind [33] | Low | June 20, 2007 | B | 9/10 This article is fairly comprehensive and well-sourced. The potentially controversial elements for a living person's biography, such as details of Hovind's encounters with the law, are supported by court records and non-editorial newspaper articles. 32.97.110.142 17:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Extremely well sourced on his legal woes--but nothing at all on anything else he has done. One reading gets the impression that everything Hovind touches ends up in court. I think we need a little more balance here for everyone's sake. Hovind is a controversial figure mainly because he is a Young Earth Creationist and like other religious or politically charged bios it opens the door for a debate on the issues while neglecting the point of the article--to give a balanced biography without the smear.— Possible single purpose account: Lord9Genesis (talk • contribs) has made few or no other contributions outside this topic. 05:01, 27 September 2006 (UTC) This article is too heavily focussed on the negatives of Kent. His theories may be wrong but he is definitely well-meaning and a profound human being that has many exemplary traits, but regardless, I don't find much centraility in this article which is derserved for everyone. - Chance —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.56.75 (talk • contribs) 9/10 for being well-sourced, researched, and presented. Could use some minor clean ups. The main trouble is the constant attacks from Hovind defenders that enjoy removing his legal problems. Arbustoo 01:29, 11 March 2007 (UTC) (edit comment) |

Rick Santorum [37] | Low | July 13, 2007 | B | The article is well written and comprehensive, however, some clean up and polish is needed. There are sections of the article that need citations and the references section has many red links that need to be fixed. A peer review would help in identifying these details and go along way toward consisency in style. Nightngle 15:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC) (edit comment) | |

As for NPOV, however, let me note that,
Brightflash 00:43, 6 September 2007 (UTC) "Start class" sounds about right for this. Feel free to add to the article.

Gerald Schroeder [114] | Low | July 13, 2007 | Start | In recent communication with Dr Schroeder, he asked this response be given to the critics of his calculation that six days of creation as described in Genesis is approximately 14-15 billion years.
"In calculating the age of the universe based on biblical data, Schroeder uses neither gravity nor velocity relativistic effects. The calculation, based totally on the expansion of space, a concept totally accepted in cosmology, in brief flows as follows. The Talmud (ca. the year 400) in the section HaGigah tells us that the six days of Genesis from the creation of the universe to the creation of Adam form a separate calendar from the time after Adam, the first human but not the first human-like being according to the Talmud, Maimonides (ca. 1190) and Nahmanides (ca. 1250). The Kabalist Nahmanides writes that his teachers taught that the numbering of each of the six days shows that for these six days, the perspective of time is seen from near the creation looking forward rather than back into history as we do. The numbering goes: day one, a 2nd day, a 3rd day etc. So why day one and not a first day he asks. And explains the Bible writes ‘day one’ because for its view, there had not yet been a 2nd day. That is the Bible for these days sees time looking forward from near the beginning. Then Nahmanides proceeds and expands. The clock of the Bible starts when stable matter forms from the energy of the creation. Time is created at the creation, Nahmanides writes, but the clock of the Bible starts only when stable matter forms. (“When matter forms, time grabs hold,” to use his wording). That moment is the energy level of protons. The ratio of the scale or the energy level or the temperature of space between then and now is nominally a million million according to astronomy text books. Projecting the estimated age of the universe as viewed from our perspective back to the biblical perspective requires a compression of time by this million million factor. That compression, blue shifting is the jargon in astronomy, reduces the 14 to 15 billion year age as per NASA to approximately five and a half days. The days remain 24 hours each, as “the days of our work week” again to quote Nahmanides, but “contain all the days of the world.” And they do." Gerald Schroeder (edit comment) |

Physicians and Surgeons for Scientific Integrity [139] | Low | May 30, 2007 | Start | This article is very biased. I think it's pretty clear from the author's comments: "standard creationist strawman of evolution", "This is incorrect" (no citation), "since natural selection is not a random process at all" (no citation), "a misleading nonsense phrase". Surely, if this group is as incorrect as the author claims, he can find some source to support him. (edit comment) | |
