Welcome to the assessment section of the Puerto Rico WikiProject! This section focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles about Puerto Rico. 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 Puerto Rico}} template; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Puerto Rico articles by quality, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
Frequently asked questions
[edit]- See also: General assessment 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 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 {{PuertoRicoproj}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
- 3. Someone put a {{PuertoRicoproj}} 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?
- Any member of the Puerto Rico WikiProject 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; 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.
- 6. I recently rated an article, but the Puerto Rico assessment table wasn't updated. What gives?
- The table is automatically generated by a bot. Wait until the bot does its daily run around 3:00 AM (UTC), or visit this web form and run the bot right away. Once you set the bot please be patient, it takes several minutes to update the table.
- 7. Can I request that someone else rate an article?
- Of course! To do so, please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
- 8. Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments?
- Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
- 9. Where can I get more comments about an article?
- You can obtain comments by contacting a project participant, posting your article in the article department of the project, or request a peer review.
- 10. 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. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process; this is documented in the assessment scale.
- 11. 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!
- 12. 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 page; for any other issues, you can go to the main project discussion page, or contact a project member directly.
Instructions
[edit]An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{WikiProject Puerto Rico}} project banner on its talk page:
{{WikiProject Puerto Rico|importance= |class= }}
The following values may be used for the class parameter:
- FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Puerto Rico articles)
- A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Puerto Rico articles)
- GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Puerto Rico articles)
- B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Puerto Rico articles)
- Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Puerto Rico articles)
- Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Puerto Rico articles)
- NA (for pages, such as templates or disambiguation pages, where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article Puerto Rico pages)
Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Puerto Rico articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.
Quality scale
[edit]Class | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editing suggestions | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
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:
A featured article exemplifies Wikipedia's very best work and is distinguished by professional standards of writing, presentation, and sourcing. In addition to meeting the policies regarding content for all Wikipedia articles, it has the following attributes.
|
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) |
![]() |
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:
|
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) |
![]() |
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:
Provides a well-written, clear and complete description of the topic, as described in Wikipedia:Article development. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, appropriately structured, and be well referenced by a broad array of reliable sources. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. Only minor style issues and other details need to be addressed before submission as a featured article candidate. See the A-Class assessment departments of some of the larger WikiProjects (e.g. WikiProject Military history). |
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) |
![]() |
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
A good article is:
|
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. | Discovery of the neutron (as of April 2019) |
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
|
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:
|
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. Also improve the grammar, spelling, writing style and improve the jargon use. | Ball (as of September 2014) |
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. | List of literary movements |
Importance scale
[edit]- Priority/importance can be a divisive issue in some subject areas, and may need to be handled carefully when established. Please read the following guidelines thoroughly before assessing. You may also want to read the project's talk page, as it might contain consensus on more specific issues.
Status | Meaning |
---|---|
Top | This article, list, template, file, or category is of the utmost importance to WikiProject Puerto Rico. It is either intrinsic to the functionality of the project or documents a subject of the utmost importance to Puerto Rico, its people, or the international community. |
High | This article, list, template, file, or category is fairly important to WikiProject Puerto Rico, as it covers a general area of knowledge, is highly notable, or documents a subject of high importance to Puerto Rico, its people, or the international community. |
Mid | This article, list, template, file, or category is relatively important to WikiProject Puerto Rico, as it fills in some more specific knowledge of certain areas or documents a subject of relative or current importance to Puerto Rico, its people, or the international community. |
Low | This article, list, template, file, or category is of little importance to WikiProject Puerto Rico, but it covers a highly specific area of knowledge, an obscure piece of trivia, or documents a subject of low importance to Puerto Rico, its people, or the international community. |
NA | It is not necessary to describe the importance of this article, list, template, file, or category. |
??? | This article, list, template, file, or category is of unknown importance to this project. It remains to be assessed. |
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 Puerto Rico.
Some examples:
- Articles about metropolitan areas in Puerto Rico may receive a higher assessment than other towns in the island because of their high notability, both locally and internationally. So currently, articles like San Juan might get a higher assessment than articles like Maunabo.
- Articles of highly notable persons or positions might receive a higher assessment than other notable persons, such as internationally renowned Puerto Rican artists versus artists who are equally popular but only at a local level.
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 local audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated.
Importance scale conventions
[edit]The following is a list of conventions within WikiProject Puerto Rico for assessing the importance of Puerto Rico-related articles, for which any and all editors wishing to assess an article should adhere to. As discussed above, the importance of an article is completely subjective, based on the community's views on the subject. Therefore, these conventions may change just as consensus changes within the community. Note: These do not apply to assessing articles outside the scope of the project.
- Any editor can assess or re-assess an article. However, editors are encouraged to include a brief description of the reasons for assessing an article in either the edit summary or in the article's talk page.
- If a re-assessment is disputed, editors are encouraged to discuss the reasons for the dispute in the article's talk page or on this project's talk page. Please do not revert a good faith re-assessment without consulting with the editor or the community. Edit warring, or rather "assessment warring" will not be tolerated within the project.
- Top-importance is mostly but not necessarily exclusively used on articles which form the basis of all information related to the project and is highly visible within and outside the Wikipedia community. Therefore, this assessment is mostly used on articles that represent the core topics of Puerto Rico, including:
- Puerto Rico - Since this is the main article of the project, forms the basis of all Puerto Rico-related articles, and is arguably the most notable, this article is always assessed as Top-importance.
- Broad subjects of political, scientific, social, and cultural matters such as Education in Puerto Rico, Economy of Puerto Rico, Music of Puerto Rico, etc.
- Articles that branch off directly from the Puerto Rico article using the {{main article}} template should be assessed as either Top or High importance. Those that branch off directly from the Puerto Rico article using the {{see also}} template might be better assessed as either High or Mid importance. This does not necessarily apply to articles included in the See also section.
- Current event articles directly related to Puerto Rico are not automatically of Top or High importance, even while the event lasts. Although recent notability of an article both within and outside the project may merit added attention from experienced project editors, the duration of such notability is highly subjective, and the article should be assessed based on its lasting importance towards the project, and not its current status.
- Artists, athletes, and sportspeople should be assessed with their corresponding scale. For example, Ricky Martin might be assessed as high importance due to his international renown while Ivy Queen might be assessed as mid-importance. When in doubt ask yourself: how would Ricardo Alegria assess this person as culturally and historically significant to Puerto Rico?
Assessment log of Puerto Rico articles
[edit]- See main subpage at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Puerto Rico articles by quality log.
The WikiProject Puerto Rico and the WP:01 assessment team maintain a log of any and all changes made to articles within the project (i.e., articles whose talk pages are tagged with the {{PuertoRicoproj}} template). You may wish to review the page to see which articles were recently assessed or re-assessed. Unfortunately, due to the increasing size of the log, it cannot be directly transcluded here. It can, however, be viewed in its own subpage.
