Welcome to the assessment department of the Rivers WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's River 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 recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
Category:River articles by quality serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist. The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{River}} project banner. Filling in a rating in the class parameter of the {{River}} template on the talk page of an article causes the name of that article to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:River articles by quality.
Project template
[edit]The template banner, {{River|class =|importance =|attention =|mapneeded = |needs-infobox =}}
is added to the talk pages of river articles. and gives:
Rivers Unassessed | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
{{River|mapneeded=yes}}
will add the article to Category:River articles needing maps- Full details at {{River}}.
Instructions
[edit]An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{River}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.
The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class River articles) | FA | |
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class River articles) | A | |
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class River articles) | GA | |
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class River articles) | B | |
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class River articles) | C | |
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class River articles) | Start | |
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class River articles) | Stub | |
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class River articles) | FL | |
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class River articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class River articles) | Category | |
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class River articles) | Disambig | |
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class River articles) | Draft | |
File (for files and timed text; adds pages to Category:File-Class River articles) | File | |
Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class River articles) | Portal | |
Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class River articles) | Project | |
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class River articles) | Template | |
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class River articles) | NA | |
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed River articles) | ??? |
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{River}} project banner on its talk page:
The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):
Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance River articles) | Top | |
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance River articles) | High | |
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance River articles) | Mid | |
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance River articles) | Low | |
NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance River articles) | NA | |
??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance River articles) | ??? |
Quality scale
[edit]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:
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. | Columbia River, St. Johns River 2016-12-02 |
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:
|
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 tributaries of Larrys Creek 2016-12-02 |
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:
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. | none |
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
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. | River Irwell, Snake River 2016-12-02 |
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. | Amazon River, River Trent, Hudson River 2016-12-02 |
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. | River Goyt, Zambezi, Seine 2016-12-02 |
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. | Limpopo River, Garonne, River Monnow 2016-12-02 |
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. | Todd Brook, Talbot River (Ontario), Sabar River 2016-12-02 |
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 rivers of Antarctica, List of tributaries of the Danube 2016-12-02 |
Category | Any category falls under this class. | Categories are mainly used to group together articles within a particular subject area. | Large categories may need to be split into one or more subcategories. Be wary of articles that have been miscategorized. | Category:Rivers |
Disambig | Any disambiguation page falls under this class. | The page serves to distinguish multiple articles that share the same (or similar) title. | Additions should be made as new articles of that name are created. Pay close attention to the proper naming of such pages, as they often do not need "(disambiguation)" appended to the title. | River (disambiguation) |
File | Any page in the file namespace falls under this class. | The page contains an image, a sound clip or other media-related content. | Make sure that the file is properly licensed and credited. | File:River Erme at Ivybridge in summer.jpg |
Portal | Any page in the portal namespace falls under this class. | Portals are intended to serve as "main pages" for specific topics. | Editor involvement is essential to ensure that portals are kept up to date. | Portal:Geography |
Template | Any template falls under this class. The most common types of templates include infoboxes and navboxes. | Different types of templates serve different purposes. Infoboxes provide easy access to key pieces of information about the subject. Navboxes are for the purpose of grouping together related subjects into an easily accessible format, to assist the user in navigating between articles. | Infoboxes are typically placed at the upper right of an article, while navboxes normally go across the very bottom of a page. Beware of too many different templates, as well as templates that give either too little, too much, or too specialized information. | Template:Rivers of Victoria |
NA | Any non-article page that fits no other classification. | The page contains no article content. | Look out for misclassified articles. Currently, many NA-class articles may need to be re-classified. |
Importance scale
[edit]Remember:
|
Importance | Criteria | Example |
---|---|---|
Top | Rivers of global significance and extreme importance. This could include rivers that have globally outstanding hydrological features (such as the longest and largest), have played a major role in world history, or are important today on a global level. Global lists and registers of all rivers. | Amazon, Ganges, Mississippi River, Lists of rivers |
High | Rivers of continental or major national signifcance in terms of hydrology, historical role, or present importance. These rivers will be extremely notable within a particular continent or sub-continent. Lists and registers of rivers at a continental or national level. | Colorado River, Orinoco, Elbe, Zambezi, Amur River, List of rivers of Africa |
Mid | Rivers of regional (sub-national) or minor national significance in terms of hydrology, historical role, or present importance. This class includes the majority of rivers. Often they will be primary tributaries of high importance rivers. Lists and registers of rivers at a regional or sub-national level. | Sacramento River, Magdalena River, Marne, Volta River, Angara River, Diamantina River, List of rivers of Pennsylvania |
Low | Rivers of local significance in terms of hydrology, historical role, or present importance. These rivers will often be short tributaries of mid importance rivers or coastal small streams. They will be significant to the local culture and economy in a limited number of ways and generally known (if at all) only to people living nearby. Lists and registers of rivers at a sub-regional or local level. This category also includes any article or list which is not primarily about rivers, but has been given a WP:Rivers project banner as it is about a related topic. | Boeing Creek, Tupungato River, Afon Clun, Kyaw River, List of rivers of Orange County, California, List of fauna of Sequalitchew Creek |
NA | Subject importance is not applicable. Generally applies to non-article pages such as redirects, categories, templates, etc. | Category:Rivers |
??? | Unassessed, importance still to be determined. |
