Welcome to the assessment department of the Biblical Criticism WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles on biblical criticism. The article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
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.

An article's importance assessment is generated from the criticism-importance parameter in the ((WikiProject Bible)) project banner on its talk page, like this:
The article is one of the core topics about Biblical Criticism. Generally, this is limited to those articles that are included as sections of the main Biblical criticism article.
A reader who is not involved in the field of Biblical Criticism will have high familiarity with the subject matter and should be able to relate to the topic easily.
Articles in this importance range are written in mostly generic terms, leaving technical terms and descriptions for more specialized pages.
The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in the history of Biblical Criticism.
Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject.
Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand Biblical Criticism. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text. Most people involved in Biblical Criticism will be rated in this level.
The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Biblical Criticism.
Few readers outside the Biblical Criticism field or that are not adherents to Biblical Criticism may be familiar with the subject matter. It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article.
Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of Biblical Criticism, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed. Topics included at this level include most practices and infrastructure of Biblical Criticism.
If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new quality rating for it, please feel free to list it below. Note: This is only to rate the article on quality – you may or may not get feedback on the article. If you desire a review, use the peer review process. If you assess an article, please remove it so that other editors will not waste time reviewing the same articles. Thanks!
The following table is convenient for determining priority articles and overall project coverage, but is maintained by the WP_1.0_bot, which is poorly maintained and updates the table only unreliably.
This is a log of operations by a bot. The contents of this page are unlikely to need human editing. In particular, links should not be disambiguated as this is a historical record.
