Requests for assessment

New page

{{Shortcut|WP:ARCHA}}
{{tocright}}
Welcome to the '''Assessment Department''' of the Architecture WikiProject. This group focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's architecture articles. 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.

Assessment is done in a distributed system (with many people and automated "bots") when values are included for the two "parameters" in the {{tl|Architecture}} project banner template, as described in the syntax below. The different values cause the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of [[:Category:Architecture articles by quality]] and [[:Category:Architecture articles by importance]].

== FAQ ==
; 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 [[WP:1.0|Wikipedia 1.0 program]] to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content. Please note, however, that 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 the WikiProject? : Just add {{tl|Architecture}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
; 3. Someone put a {{tl|Architecture}} template on an article, but it doesn't seem to be within the project's scope. What should I do? : Because of the large number of articles we deal with, we occasionally make mistakes and add tags to articles that shouldn't have them. If you notice one, feel free to remove the tag, and optionally leave a note on the talk page of this department (or directly with the person who tagged the article).
; 4. Who can assess articles? : Anyone, as long as you are prepared to defend your decision. If you have a close connection to the subject consider [[#Requests for assessment|requesting assesment]] from another project member.
; 5. How do I rate an article? : Check the [[#Quality assessment|article grading scheme]] and select the level that best matches the state of the article; then, follow the [[#Assessment instructions|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 that must be followed; this is documented in the [[#Assessment instructions|assessment instructions]].
; 6. Can I request that someone else rate an article? : Of course; to do so, please list it in the [[#Requests for assessment|section for assessment requests]] below.
; 7. What if I don't agree with a rating? : You can list it in the [[#Requests for assessment|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. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process that must be followed; this is documented in the [[#Assessment instructions|assessment instructions]].
; 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!
; 9. What if I have a question not listed here? : If your question concerns the article assessment process specifically, please refer to the discussion page for this department; for any other issues, leave a message on the [[talk page]].

==Assessment instructions==
The {{tl|Architecture}} template may already exist on the talk page of an article, and anyone can add the template to a talk page. There are two values that can be used in the template for rating an article. Remember that these ratings are not absolute and can be changed at any time. The quality and importance of a topic is to be considered in the wide context of [[Architecture]] in all regions of the world throughout all of recorded history. The main criteria are suitability of the topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia and complete citation of source information.

===Quality assessment===
An article's assessment is generated from the ''class'' parameter in the {{tl|Architecture}} project banner on its [[Template talk:WikiProject Architecture|talk page]] (see the [[Template:WikiProject Architecture|project banner instructions]] for more details on the exact syntax):

;Basic template syntax:

<nowiki>{{WikiProject Architecture</nowiki>'''| class=Stub'''<nowiki> | ...}}</nowiki>
*The word "class" starts with a lowercase ''c''. Values can be Stub, stub or STUB, for example

The following values for "'''class='''" may be used:

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible"
|
* '''FA''' (adds articles to [[:Category:FA-Class Architecture articles]]
**''Only for articles that are currently listed as [[WP:FA|featured articles]]'')
* '''FL''' (adds articles to [[:Category:FL-Class Architecture articles]]
**''Only for articles that are currently listed as [[WP:FL|featured lists]]'')
* '''A''' (adds articles to [[:Category:A-Class Architecture articles]]
**''Only used for articles that have successfully passed through the [[#Requests for A-Class status|A-Class review]]'')
* '''GA''' (adds articles to [[:Category:GA-Class Architecture articles]]
**'' Only used for articles that are currently listed as [[WP:GA|good articles]]'')
* '''B''' (adds articles to [[:Category:B-Class Architecture articles]])
* '''Start''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Start-Class Architecture articles]])
* '''Stub''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Stub-Class Architecture articles]])
* '''List''' (adds articles to [[:Category:List-Class Architecture articles]])
* '''Category''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Category-Class Architecture articles]])
** ''Added automatically''
* '''Disambig''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Disambig-Class Architecture articles]])
* '''File''' (adds articles to [[:Category:File-Class Architecture articles]])
** ''Added automatically''
* '''Portal''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Portal-Class Architecture articles]])
** ''Added automatically''
* '''Project''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Project-Class Architecture articles]])
** ''Added automatically''
* '''Template''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Template-Class Architecture articles]])
** ''Added automatically''
* '''NA''' (for pages that redirect to other articles; adds pages to [[:Category:NA-Class Architecture articles]])
* '''Draft''' (for unpublished draft articles; adds pages to [[:Category:Draft-Class Architecture articles]])
** ''Added automatically''
** ''Counted under the "Other" section on the matrix''

===Importance assessment===
;Basic syntax:

<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Architecture<nowiki>|</nowiki> class=stub<nowiki> |</nowiki> '''importance=Low'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
*The word "importance" to start with a lowercase ''i''. Values start with Uppercase, e.g. ''Low''

<div style="width:98%; float:left;">
'''Need''': The article's priority or importance, regardless of its quality

# I've added a sentence in the lede to [[Ronan Point]]. This virtually new building which partially collapsed in 1968, changed UK building regs and practices & I note features in [[1968]] world events.

# [[Achaemenid architecture]] this article took me two months and some 30 sources mostly books, 3 of which I had to read page to page, to make. The article is about Achaemenid architecture and description of its individual projects. 90% of sources are derived from renown architects/architectural hisotrians including [[James Fergusson (architect)|James Fergusson]], Ronald W.
