Welcome to the assessment department of the Food and drink WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Food and drink related 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.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Food and drink}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Food and drink articles by quality and Category:Food and drink articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

[edit] Frequently asked questions

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 Food and drink WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article.
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.
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.
Aren't the ratings subjective? 
Yes, they are, 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!

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.

[edit] Quality assessments

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Food and drink}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Food and drink| ... | class=??? | ...}}
 
Featured article FA
A
Good article GA
B
C
Start
Stub
List
Needed
???

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article:


 
Template
Disambig
Category
Image
Redirect
Project
NA

For pages that are not articles, the following values can also be used for the class parameter:

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Food and drink articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

After assessing an article's quality, comments on the assessment can be added either to the article's talk page or to the /Comments subpage which will appear as a link next to the assessment. Adding comments will add the article to Category:Food and drink articles with comments. Comments that are added to the /Comments subpages will be transcluded onto the automatically generated work list pages in the Comments column.

[edit] Quality scale

WikiProject article progress grading scheme [  v • d • e  ]
Label Criteria Reader's experience Editing suggestions Example
Featured article FA
{{FA-Class}}		 The article has attained Featured article status. 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. Tourette Syndrome
(as of June 2008)
Featured list FL
{{FL-Class}}		 The article has attained Featured list status. FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives
(as of January 2008)
A
{{A-Class}}		 The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been reviewed by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject or elsewhere. Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting. Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style issues may need addressing. Peer-review may help. Durian
(as of March 2007)
Good article GA
{{GA-Class}}		 The article has attained Good article status. Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (although not equalling) the quality of a professional encyclopedia. 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. International Space Station
(as of February 2007)
B
{{B-Class}}		 The article is mostly complete and without major issues, but requires some further work to reach Good Article standards. B-Class articles should meet the six B-Class criteria. No reader should be 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, and expert knowledge is increasingly needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should also be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the manual of style and related style guidelines. Jammu and Kashmir
(as of October 2007)
C
{{C-Class}}		 The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains a lot of irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant issues or require substantial cleanup. 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 address cleanup issues. Exeter Cathedral
(as of June 2008)
Start
{{Start-Class}}		 An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and, most notably, lacks adequate reliable sources. Provides some meaningful content, but the majority of readers will need more. Provision of references to reliable sources should be prioritised; the article will also need substantial improvements in content and organisation. Real analysis
(as of November 2006)
Stub
{{Stub-Class}}		 A very basic description of the topic. Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. Coffee table book
(as of July 2005)


[edit] Non-article grades

There are a few other assessments used in the mainspace that are done by WikiProjects but do not fit into the scale. Some of these are not used by all WikiProjects. Of these, only List-Class is tracked by the bot. In no particular order:

Other WikiProject assessments [  v • d • e  ]
Label Criteria Reader's experience Editor's experience Example
Project
{{Project-Class}}		 All project and task force pages fall into this category.
Can be given an importance rating.
Portal
{{Portal-Class}}		 All portal pages fall into this category.
Can be given an importance rating.
List
{{List-Class}}		 An article that meets the definition of a Stand-alone List. It should contain many wikilinks, with descriptions. There is no one way to make a list, but it should be logical and useful to the reader. Lists can be anything from a stub to a Featured List. List of aikidoka (as of June 2007)
Image
{{Image-Class}}		 All food related images not contained in WikiMedia Commons fall into this category.
Can be given an importance rating.
Template
{{Template-Class}}		 All template pages fall into this category. Used to identify templates that can be used in food and drink articles, including project banners, user boxes and page templates. WP Food & Drink banner
Disambig
{{Disambig-Class}}		 Any disambiguation page falls under this class. The page directs the reader to other pages of the same title. Additions should be made as new articles of that name are created. Aa River (as of June 2008)
Category
{{Category-Class}}		 All categories used to organize food related articles and pages into logical groupings. Allows users to find related articles, e.g. Baking articles. Allows editors to find and group similar articles to allow better project integration . FA-Importance Food and drink articles
Needed
{{Needed-Class}}		 An article page that should exist, but does not. The page does not exist or is a redirect. An appropriate article should be created on the subject. Lake effect (as of April 2007)
NA
{{NA-Class}}		 Any non-article page that does not fit into any other category. The page does not have article content. May or may not apply, depending on the type of page. Square knot (as of November 2006)

[edit] Importance assessment

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

{{WikiProject Food and drink| ... | importance=??? | ...}}
Top
High
Mid
Low
No
???

The following values may be used for importance assessments:

[edit] 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 Comics.

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}} Core topics about Food and drink. Generally, these topics are sub-articles of the main Food and drink article, vital for the understanding of Food and drink. This category should stay limited to approximately 100 members. Biographies should be limited to the top one or two people in a particular field or persons of the greatest historical importance
High {{High-Class}} Topics that are very notable within the field of Food and drink, and not unheard of outside of it, and can be reasonably expected to be included in any print encyclopedia
Mid {{Mid-Class}} Topics that are reasonably notable within the field of food and drink aficionados without necessarily being famous or very notable by the greater community.
Low {{Low-Class}} 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
No {{No-Class}} Subject is a disambiguation or redirect page, residing in article space but redundant in a print encyclopedia.
NA {{NA-Class}} Used for categories, templates, portal and project pages, separate from article space.

[edit] Requesting an assessment

If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below.

  • Slivovitz — There have been significant changes to the article since it was first assessed in September 2007.   — Chris Capoccia T⁄C 21:29, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

it would be greatly apreciated if somebody could ascess the canada dry article. Thanks,Canadakid2 (talk) 00:24, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Would someone please look at the article I created on American Cookery and rate it (and offer any advise on making it better). It needs some organization. But I can't tell if it should be a Stub or Start class. The one on Culinary Historians of New York is clearly a stub. But I don't have a clue about setting the importance parameter in the banners. Thanks much. Becksguy 13:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Gluten has been expanded, supplied with references and rewritten for the sake of clarity. Please assign a rating to it. Comments will be welcomed. Wugo 20:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Chicken 65 - I completely changed it, it now actually has order. Please say what you think in the discussion page, thanks. (Bonzai273 (talk) 11:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC))

* could someone please asess Reeses?Sithman8 (talk) 18:22, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Taco - time for a reassessment. Where to from where it is now? Glane23 (talk) 22:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
  • The_Palm_(restaurant) - I've done quite a bit of work re-structuring article and removing NPOV and ad-like language. It still needs substantial in-line citations. I think it is start-class now but would like some collective input.Bradfordschultze (talk) 07:50, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
