elcome to the assessment page of WikiProject: Sumo. On this page you will find all the information you need if you have any questions about assessing sumo articles on Wikipedia. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work, and are also expected to play a role in the WP:1.0 program.

The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Sumo}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Sumo articles by quality, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

Articles classified by importance and quality can be found by clicking on the number statistics in the table opposite.

1. What is the purpose of the article ratings?
The rating system allows the project to monitor the quality of articles in our subject areas, and to prioritize work on these articles. It is also utilized by the Wikipedia 1.0 program to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content. These ratings are primarily intended for the internal use of the project, and do not necessarily imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.
2. How do I add an article to WikiProject Sumo?
Just add {{WikiProject Sumo}} to the top of the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
3. Someone put a {{WikiProject Sumo}} template on an article, but it doesn't seem to be within the project's scope. What should I do?
If you notice one, feel free to remove the tag, and optionally leave a note on the project talk page (or directly with the person who tagged the article). We still try to keep articles by wrestlers who have made a brief passage through sumo, even if they are known for another career.
4. Who can assess articles?
Any member of the WikiProject Sumo is free to add—or change—the rating of an article. Editors who are not participants in this project are also welcome to assess articles, but should defer to consensus within the project in case of procedural disputes.
5. How do I rate an article?
Check the quality scale and select the level that best matches the state of the article (source, level of information, coverage ...); then, follow the instructions below to add the rating to the project banner on the article's talk page. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process; this is documented in the assessment scale.
7. What if I don't agree with a rating?
You can ask any member of the project to rate the article again or rate it again yourself. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process; this is documented in the assessment scale.
8. Aren't the ratings subjective?
Yes, they are somewhat subjective, 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!

Assessment instructions

[edit source]

An article's quality assessment is recorded using the |class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Sumo}} banner template on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following standard grades may be used to describe the quality of mainspace articles (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA (for featured articles only; adds them to the FA-Class Sumo articles category)  FA
FL (for featured lists only; adds them to the FL-Class Sumo articles category)  FL
A (for articles that passed a formal peer review only; adds them to the A-Class Sumo articles category)  A
GA (for good articles only; adds them to the GA-Class Sumo articles category)  GA
B (for articles that satisfy all of the B-Class criteria; adds them to the B-Class Sumo articles category) B
C (for substantial articles; adds them to the C-Class Sumo articles category) C
Start (for developing articles; adds them to the Start-Class Sumo articles category) Start
Stub (for basic articles; adds them to the Stub-Class Sumo articles category) Stub
List (for stand-alone lists; adds them to the List-Class Sumo articles category) List
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unwarranted; adds them to the NA-Class Sumo pages category) NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in the Unassessed Sumo articles category) ???

note: bear in mind that Good Article and Featured Article assessments must first be reviewed by other users on their dedicated pages.

Quality scale

[edit source]
WikiProject content quality grading scheme
Class Criteria Reader's experience Editing suggestions Example
 FA The article has attained featured article status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured article candidates.
More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured article criteria:{{Wikipedia:Featured article criteria}}
 Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information. No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. Cleopatra
(as of June 2018)
 FL The article has attained featured list status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured list candidates.
More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured list criteria:{{Wikipedia:Featured list criteria}}
 Professional standard; it comprehensively covers the defined scope, usually providing a complete set of items, and has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about those items. No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events
(as of May 2018)
 A The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been examined by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class.
More detailed criteria
The article meets the A-Class criteria:
{{Wikipedia:Content assessment/A-Class criteria|raw=yes}}
 Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject would typically find nothing wanting. Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style problems may need solving. WP:Peer review may help. Battle of Nam River
(as of June 2014)
 GA The article meets all of the good article criteria, and has been examined by one or more impartial reviewers from WP:Good article nominations.
More detailed criteria
{{Wikipedia:Good article criteria}}
 Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (though not necessarily equalling) the quality of a professional publication. Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing featured article on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing. Everybody Wants to Rule the World
(as of October 2025)
B The article meets all of the B-Class criteria. It is mostly complete and does not have major problems, but requires some further work to reach good article standards.
More detailed criteria
{{Wikipedia:Content assessment/B-Class criteria|raw=yes}}
 Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher. A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed. Expert knowledge may be needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the Manual of Style and related style guidelines. Psychology
(as of January 2024)
C The article is substantial but is still missing important content or contains irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup.
More detailed criteria
The article cites more than one reliable source and is better developed in style, structure, and quality than Start-Class, but it fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements, or need editing for clarity, balance, or flow.
 Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study. Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and solve cleanup problems. Wing
(as of June 2018)
Start An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources.
More detailed criteria
The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas. The article has one or more of the following:
  • A useful picture or graphic
  • Multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic
  • A subheading that fully treats an element of the topic
  • Multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article
 Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more. Providing references to reliable sources should come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Improve the grammar, spelling, and writing style; decrease the use of jargon. Gravel
(as of January 2006)
Stub A very basic description of the topic. Meets none of the Start-Class criteria. Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition. Readers probably see insufficiently developed features of the topic and may not see how the features of the topic are significant. Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. The best solution for a Stub-class Article to step up to a Start-class Article is to add in referenced reasons of why the topic is significant. Lineage (anthropology)
(as of December 2014)
List Meets the criteria of a stand-alone list or set index article, which is an article that contains primarily a 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. Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized.

Importance assessment

[edit source]

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Sumo}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Sumo| ... | importance=??? | ...}}
Top
High
Mid
Low
???

The following values may be used for importance assessments:

Importance scale

[edit source]
Label Criteria Examples
Top Core topics about Sumo. Generally, these topics are sub-articles of the main Sumo article, vital for the understanding of Sumo or extremely notable to people outside of Sumo. This category should stay limited to approximately 10 articles. Sumo
High Topics that are very notable within Sumo, and not unheard of outside of it, and can be reasonably expected to be included in any print encyclopedia Articles about Yokozuna and sumo-related professions (yobidashi, rikishi...)
Mid Topics that are reasonably notable within Sumo itself without necessarily being famous or very notable internationally Wrestler lists (List of ōzeki), articles on notorious top-division wrestlers, arenas
Low Topics of mostly local interest or those that are only included for complete coverage or as examples of a higher-level topic; peripheral or trivial topics Articles on Edo and Meiji-era wrestlers, articles on wrestlers who have never progressed beyond the second-highest division, articles on wrestlers in the smallest divisions who are notable for anecdotal facts
