From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the assessment department of the WikiProject Kilkenny! This page focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles related to County Kilkenny. Making use of 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 Kilkenny}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Kilkenny articles by quality and Category:Kilkenny articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist and quality log.

Quality assessments

[edit]

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Kilkenny}} 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 Kilkenny articles)  FA
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Kilkenny articles)  GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Kilkenny articles) B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Kilkenny articles) C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Kilkenny articles) Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Kilkenny articles) Stub

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:

??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Kilkenny articles) ???

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:Kilkenny 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.

Importance scale

[edit]

The assessment team have developed some criteria specific to Irish articles as guidelines for deciding the importance of articles being assessed. Different criteria tables have been created for different topic groups as shown below.

Label Criteria General Irish biographies' Historic figures, presidents, politicians Entertainers Sports people
Top High probability that non-Historians would look this up. Limited to the top 5–10 biographies. Must have had a large impact outside of their main discipline, across several generations, and in the majority of the world. For instance, Joyce, affected people in many other countries besides Ireland and for several generations. Members should not give this rating to any biography without first getting Project approval from the other members. James Joyce Eamon de Valera U2 Barry McGuigan
