Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Scotland. This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Scotland 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 recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the ((WP Scotland)) project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Scotland articles by quality and Category:Scotland articles by importance, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
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 assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the ((WP Scotland)) project banner on its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax):
The following values may be used for the class parameter:
Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Scotland articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.
The following values may be used for the importance parameter:
The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below.

Label | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editor's experience | Examples |
---|---|---|---|---|
FA ((FA-Class)) |
Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status after peer review, and meet the current criteria for featured articles. | Definitive. Outstanding, thorough article; a great source for encyclopedic information. | No further editing necessary, unless new published information has come to light. | Scotland in the High Middle Ages, Scottish National Antarctic Expedition |
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 the "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. | Glenrothes |
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 being a Good article 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. | Scotland, Kirkcaldy |
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, NPOV or 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. | Church of Scotland, Football in Scotland |
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. The article is better developed in style, structure and quality than Start-Class, but fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements; need editing for clarity, balance or flow; or contain policy violations such as bias or trivia. | 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. | Golf in Scotland, Walter Scott |
Start ((Start-Class)) |
The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas, and may lack a table. 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:
|
Not useless. Some readers will find what they are looking for, but most will not. Most articles in this category have the look of an article "under construction" and a reader genuinely interested in the topic is likely to seek additional information elsewhere. | Substantial/major editing is needed, most material for a complete article needs to be added. This article usually isn't even good enough for a cleanup tag: it still needs to be built. | Battle of Stirling Bridge, Central Lowlands |
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. | May be useless to a reader only passingly familiar with the term. Possibly useful to someone who has no idea what the term meant. At best a brief, informed dictionary definition. | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. | Queensberry House, Strathspey, Scotland |
Needed ((Needed-Class)) |
The article does not exist and needs to be created. |
Status | Template | Meaning of Status |
---|---|---|
Top | ((Top-Class)) | This article is of the utmost importance to this project, as it forms the basis of all information in a key area. |
High | ((High-Class)) | This article is important to this project, as it covers a general area of knowledge, or it covers a specific topic which has wide significance. |
Mid | ((Mid-Class)) | This article is relatively important to this project, as it fills in some more specific knowledge of certain areas. |
Low | ((Low-Class)) | This article is of little importance to this project, but it covers a specific area of knowledge and is needed for completeness. |
None | None | This article is of unknown importance to this project. It remains to be analyzed. |
