Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment
Quality: FA-Class | A Class | GA-Class | B-Class | C-Class | Start-Class | Stub Class | Unassessed Importance: Top | High | Mid | Low | Unknown
Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject India! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's India articles. 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 recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WP India}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:India articles by quality and Category:India articles by importance, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I add an article to the WikiProject?
- Just add {{WP India}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
- 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 India WikiProject is free to add a rating to an article if they wish. However, the Assessment Team (from this department) may overrule the rating of an article if they see fit.
- What if I don't agree with a rating given by some other member?
- You can then list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it. It is most likely to be assessed by someone from this department.
- Aren't the ratings subjective?
- Yes, they are (see, in particular, the disclaimers on the importance scale), 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!
- Did the reviewer leave any comments?
- If the reviewer had a left a comment, a link, "(see comments)" will show up on the project banner, that will take you to the sub-page containing the comments.
- Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments?
- Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, you may not receive detailed comments in all instances. If this is the case, you might ask the person who assessed the article if you have any particular questions; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
- To what extent will the Assessment Dept. give feedback on an article after grading it?
- If you wish, the Assessment Dept. (for WikiProject India) will keep giving feedback until the Assessment Dept. believes that the article in question is at least; slightly above a "B" grade. After reaching this stage, the Assessment Team are likely to recommend that your article be peer-reviewed.
- Why peer-review? How does it work?
- The peer review department conduct a more thorough examination (and review) of articles, and their services are best utilised when the Assessment Dept. believes that the article is ready to be analyzed in "an extremely critical way" (prior to being nominated to a GA, A, or FA status article). Of course, you may submit/nominate an article for review at the peer review department at any time you wish.
- How can I keep track of changes in article ratings?
- A full log of changes over the past thirty days is available here. If you are just looking for an overview, however, the statistics may be more accessible.
- How do this all work?
- See Using the bot and WikiProject Council Guide.
If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.

Instructions
An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{WP India}} project banner on its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax):
- {{WP India| ... | class=??? | importance=??? | ...}}
The following values may be used for the class parameter:
- FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class India articles)
- A (adds articles to Category:A-Class India articles)
- GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class India articles)
- B (adds articles to Category:B-Class India articles)
- C (adds articles to Category:C-Class India articles)
- Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class India articles)
- Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class India articles)
- NA (for pages, such as templates or disambiguation pages, where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article India pages)
Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed-Class India articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.
The following values may be used for the importance parameter:
- Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance India articles)
- High (adds articles to Category:High-importance India articles)
- Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance India articles)
- Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance India articles)
The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below.
Quality scale
Please note that the WikiProject India Assessment Department is in the process of updating the grading scheme, so changes may occur to the criteria and examples - the assessment department apologizes for an inconvenience caused, and endeavours to complete this task as soon as possible. Upon completion of updating, the main member of the assessment department will remove this notice.
Template:WP India Grading scheme
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 India.
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. |
Importance standards
- States - Generally classed as top importance.
- Capital cities - Generally classed as top to high importance.
- National Parks - Generally classed an high to mid importance.
- Cities - Generally classed as mid to low importance.
- Places - Generally classed as mid to low importance.
- Schools - Generally classed as mid to low importance.
