Welcome to the assessment department of the Kurdistan WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles about the Kurdistan, its governments, people, geography, and history. 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 ((WPKU)) project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Kurdistan articles by quality and Category:Kurdistan articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

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 Kurdistan WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article.

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.

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the ((WP Kurdistan)) project banner on its talk page:

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 Kurdistan articles)		FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Kurdistan articles)		A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Kurdistan articles)		GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Kurdistan articles)		B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Kurdistan articles)		C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Kurdistan articles)		Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Kurdistan articles)		Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Kurdistan articles)		FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Kurdistan articles)		List

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

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

]

Label	Criteria	Reader's experience	Editor's experience	Example
FA ((FA-Class))	Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status, and meet the current criteria for featured articles.	Definitive. Outstanding, thorough article; a great source for encyclopedic information.	No further editing is necessary unless new published information has come to light; but further improvements to the text are often possible.	Salsa (music)
A ((A-Class))	Provides a well-written, reasonably clear and complete description of the topic, as described in How to write a great article. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, with a well-written introduction and an appropriate series of headings to break up the content. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from "hard" (peer-reviewed where appropriate) literature rather than websites. Should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. At the stage where it could at least be considered for featured article status, corresponds to the "Wikipedia 1.0" standard.	Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting. May miss a few relevant points.	Minor edits and adjustments would improve the article, particularly if brought to bear by a subject-matter expert. In particular, issues of breadth, completeness, and balance may need work. Peer-review would be helpful at this stage.	Taíno
GA ((GA-Class))	The article has passed through the Good article nomination process and been granted GA status, meeting the good article standards. This should be used for articles that still need some work to reach featured article standards, but that are otherwise good. Good articles that may succeed in FAC should be considered A-Class articles, but having completed the Good article designation process is not a requirement for A-Class.	Useful to nearly all readers. A good treatment of the subject. No obvious problems, gaps, excessive information. Adequate for most purposes, but other encyclopedias could do a better job.	Some editing will clearly be helpful, but not necessary for a good reader experience. If the article is not already fully wikified, now is the time.	International Space Station
B ((B-Class))	Has several of the elements described in "start", usually a majority of the material needed for a completed article. Nonetheless, it has significant gaps or missing elements or references, needs substantial editing for English language usage and/or clarity, balance of content, or contains other policy problems such as copyright, Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) or No Original Research (NOR). With NPOV a well written B-class may correspond to the "Wikipedia 0.5" or "usable" standard. Articles that are close to GA status but don't meet the Good article criteria should be B- or Start-class articles.	Useful to many, but not all, readers. A casual reader flipping through articles would feel that they generally understood the topic, but a serious student or researcher trying to use the material would have trouble doing so, or would risk error in derivative work.	Considerable editing is still needed, including filling in some important gaps or correcting significant policy errors. Articles for which cleanup is needed will typically have this designation to start with.	Elián González
Start ((Start-Class))	The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas, and may lack a key element. For example an article on Africa might cover the geography well, but be weak on history and culture. Has at least one serious element of gathered materials, including any one of the following: a particularly useful picture or graphic multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic a subheading that fully treats an element of the topic multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article	Useful to some, provides a moderate amount of information, but many readers will need to find additional sources of information. The article clearly needs to be expanded.	Substantial/major editing is needed, most material for a complete article needs to be added. This article still needs to be completed, so an article cleanup tag is inappropriate at this stage.	Afro-Kurdistann
Stub ((Stub-Class))	The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to bring it to A-Class level. It is usually very short, but can be of any length if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible.	Possibly useful to someone who has no idea what the term meant. May be useless to a reader only passingly familiar with the term. At best a brief, informed dictionary definition.	Any editing or additional material can be helpful.	Escambray Mountains

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 the Kurdistan.

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.

Importance assessment

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the ((WP Kurdistan)) project banner on its talk page:

((WP Kurdistan| ... | importance=??? | ...))

The following values may be used for importance assessments:

• Top - The article is about one of the core topics of the Kurdistan. Adds articles to Category:Top-importance Kurdistan articles
• High - The article is about the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of the Kurdistan. Adds articles to Category:High-importance Kurdistan articles
• Mid - The article is about a topic within the field that may or may not be commonly known outside the Kurdistan community. Adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Kurdistan articles
• Low - The article is about a topic that is highly specialized within the field of Kurdistan studies and is not generally common knowledge outside that community. Adds articles to Category:Low-importance Kurdistan articles

Requesting an assessment
