Article assessment for Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga.

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

[edit] Frequently asked questions

How do I add an article to the WikiProject? 

Just add {{WikiProject Anime and manga}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.

Someone put a {{WikiProject Anime and manga}} template on an article, but it's not an anime or manga related topic. What should I do? 

Because of the large number of articles we deal with, we occasionally make mistakes and add tags to articles that shouldn't have them. If you notice one, feel free to remove the tag, and optionally leave a note on the talk page of this department (or directly with the person who tagged the article).

What is the purpose of the article ratings? 

The objective of the rating system is twofold. First, it allows the project to monitor the quality of the articles within our scope and to prioritize work on these articles. Second, the ratings will be used by the Wikipedia 1.0 project to compile a "released version" of Wikipedia that can be distributed to readers. Please note, however, that these ratings are meant for the internal use of the project, and do not imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.

Who can assess articles? 

Any member of the Anime and manga WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article. Editors who are not participants in this project are also welcome to assess articles, but should defer to consensus within the project in case of procedural disputes. Editors should also note that assessments of B or A require project consensus, while GA, FA, and FL assessments have associated formal review processes that must be followed.

How do I rate an article? 

Check the assessment scale and select the level that best matches the state of the article, then follow the guidelines below to add the rating to the project banner on the article's talk page. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process; this is documented in the assessment scale.

How can I make a request for someone from the project to assess an article? 

Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.

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.

Where can I get more details or feedback about an article? 

The peer review process is one that results in a more thorough examination of articles; to ensure project members also view the article, make sure to list it at our peer review page.

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 (see, in particular, the disclaimers on the importance scale), 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!

What about lists? 

Lists of episodes, characters, and chapters are assessed using the same scale as other articles; however, they progress towards featured list rather than featured article status. Lists which are pure lists of links, however, should be assessed as list class, as they have no real content to be evaluated.

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

[edit] Assessment scale

The scale for assessments is defined at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. Articles are divided into the following categories.

Class	Criteria	Reader's experience	Editing suggestions	Example
FA	The article has attained featured article status. More detailed criteria The article meets the featured article criteria: A featured article exemplifies our very best work and is distinguished by professional standards of writing, presentation, and sourcing. In addition to meeting the requirements for all Wikipedia articles, it has the following attributes. It is— (a) well-written: its prose is engaging, even brilliant, and of a professional standard; (b) comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context; (c) well-researched: it is a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature on the topic. Claims are verifiable against high-quality reliable sources and are supported with citations; this requires a "References" section that lists these sources, complemented by inline citations where appropriate; (d) neutral: it presents views fairly and without bias; and (e) stable: it is not subject to ongoing edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day, except in response to the featured article process. It follows the style guidelines, including the provision of— (a) a lead: a concise lead section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections; (b) appropriate structure: a system of hierarchical section headings and a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents; and (c) consistent citations: where required by criterion 1c, consistently formatted inline citations using either footnotes (<ref>Smith 2007, p. 1.</ref>) or Harvard referencing (Smith 2007, p. 1)—see citing sources for suggestions on formatting references; for articles with footnotes, the meta:cite format is recommended. Images. It has images that follow the image use policy and other media where appropriate, with succinct captions, brief and useful alt text when feasible, and acceptable copyright status. Non-free images or media must satisfy the criteria for inclusion of non-free content and be labeled accordingly. Length. It stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	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.	Tokyo Mew Mew (as of October 2008) More examples  Madlax (as of October 2008) Serial Experiments Lain (as of March 2008)
A	The article is well-organized and essentially complete, having been reviewed by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject, like military history, or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class. More detailed criteria The article meets the A-Class criteria: Shortcuts: WP:ACLASS WP:A? Provides a well-written, clear and complete description of the topic, as described in Wikipedia:How to write a great article. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, appropriately structured, and be well referenced by a broad array of reliable sources. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. Only minor style issues and other details need to be addressed before submission as a featured article candidate. See the A-Class assessment departments of some of the larger WikiProjects (e.g. WikiProject Military history, WikiProject Films).	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.	N/A
GA	The article has attained good article status. More detailed criteria The article meets the good article criteria: Well-written: (a) the prose is clear and the spelling and grammar are correct; and (b) it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, jargon, words to avoid, fiction, and list incorporation. Factually accurate and verifiable: (a) it provides references to all sources of information in the section(s) dedicated to the attribution of these sources according to the guide to layout; (b) it provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines; and (c) it contains no original research. Broad in its coverage: (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic; and (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias. Stable: it does not change significantly from day-to-day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. Illustrated, if possible, by images: (a) images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content; and (b) images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	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.	Fullmetal Alchemist (as of November 2008) More examples  Strawberry Panic! (as of October 2008) Shonen Jump (as of October 2008) Air (as of October 2008) Rock Lee (as of September 2008)
B	The article is mostly complete and without major issues, but requires some further work to reach good article standards. More detailed criteria The article meets the six B-Class criteria: The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. The use of citation templates such as {{cite web}} is not required, but the use of <ref></ref> tags is encouraged. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing. The article has a defined structure. Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind. The article is reasonably well-written. The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it certainly need not be "brilliant". The Manual of Style need not be followed rigorously. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content. The article presents its content in an appropriately accessible way. It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible.	Readers are not 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.	Edward Elric (as of October 2008) More examples  Hayao Miyazaki (as of May 2008) History of manga (as of January 2008) List of Excel Saga episodes (as of December 2008) List of D.Gray-man episodes (season 2) (as of September 2008) Fruits Basket (as of August 2008) Dragon Ball (as of September 2008)
C	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. More detailed criteria 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 original research. Articles on fictional topics are likely to be marked as C-Class if they are written from an in-universe perspective.	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.	Free Collars Kingdom (as of January 2009) More examples  The Rose of Versailles (as of November 2008) List of Da Capo episodes (as of July 2008) Jiraiya (Naruto) (as of October 2008)
Start	An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and, most notably, lacks adequate reliable sources. More detailed criteria The article has a usable amount of good content but is weak in many areas, usually in referencing. Quality of the prose may be distinctly unencyclopedic, and MoS compliance non-existent; but the article should satisfy fundamental content policies such as notability and BLP, and provide enough sources to establish verifiability. No Start-Class article should be in any danger of being speedily deleted.	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.	Shikabane Hime (as of December 2008) More examples  Until Death Do Us Part (as of January 2009) The Tale of the White Serpent (as of January 2009) Hyakko (as of December 2008)
Stub	A very basic description of the topic. More detailed criteria The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to become a meaningful article. It is usually very short, but if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible, an article of any length falls into this category.	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.	Enoki Films (as of July 2008) More examples  Selfish Love (as of June 2008) Animerica Extra (as of October 2008) My Dear Marie (as of July 2008)
FL	The article has attained featured list status. More detailed criteria The article meets the featured list criteria: Prose. It features professional standards of writing. Lead. It has an engaging lead that introduces the subject and defines the scope and inclusion criteria. Comprehensiveness. (a) It comprehensively covers the defined scope, providing at least all of the major items and, where practical, a complete set of items; where appropriate, it has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about the items. (b) In length and/or topic, it meets all of the requirements for stand-alone lists; it is not a content fork, does not largely recreate material from another article, and could not reasonably be included as part of a related article. Structure. It is easy to navigate through and includes, where helpful, section headings and table sort facilities. Style. It complies with the Manual of Style and its supplementary pages. (a) Visual appeal. It makes suitable use of text layout, formatting, tables, and colour; and it has a minimal proportion of red links. (b) Media files. It has images and other media, if appropriate to the topic, that follow Wikipedia's usage policies, with succinct captions and alternative (alt) text if necessary. Non-free images and other media satisfy the criteria for the inclusion of non-free content and are labeled accordingly. Stability. It is not the subject of ongoing edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day, except in response to the featured list process.	Professional standard; it comprehensively covers the defined scope, usually providing a complete set of items, and has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about those items.	No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available.	List of Bleach episodes (season 9) (as of January 2009) More examples  List of D.Gray-man episodes (as of October 2008) List of Fullmetal Alchemist chapters (as of December 2008) List of Tokyo Mew Mew chapters (as of November 2008) List of Naruto characters (as of August 2008)
List	Meets the criteria of a stand-alone list, which is an article that contains primarily a list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area.	There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader.	Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized.	List of programs broadcast by Animax (as of February 2008) More examples  List of films based on manga (as of February 2008) List of video games based on anime or manga (as of February 2008) List of Bleach episodes (as of October 2008)

These criteria apply to general-content articles. The manual of style provides additional guidelines about what sorts of content and formatting should be provided for certain articles.

Each anime- and manga-related article has its assessment included within the {{WikiProject Anime and manga}} template, such as {{WikiProject Anime and manga|class=B}}. This provides automatic categorization within Category:Anime and manga articles by quality. Note that the class parameter is case-specific; see the template's documentation for more information.

[edit] B-Class criteria

Special emphasis is given to the six criteria that B-Class articles for the WikiProject should meet:

B

The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. The use of citation templates such as {{cite web}} is not required, but the use of <ref></ref> tags is encouraged. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing. The article has a defined structure. Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind. The article is reasonably well-written. The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it certainly need not be "brilliant". The Manual of Style need not be followed rigorously. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content. The article presents its content in an appropriately accessible way. It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible.

[edit] Importance scale

Priority must be regarded as a relative term. If importance values are applied within this project, these only reflect the perceived importance to this project and to the work groups the article falls under. An article judged to be "Top-importance" in one context may be only "Mid-importance" in another project. The criteria used for rating article priority 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).

Type	Top	High	Mid	Low
Definition	This article is of the utmost importance as it forms the basis of all information.	This article is fairly important as it covers a general area of knowledge.	This article is relatively important as it fills in some more specific knowledge of certain areas.	This article is of little importance as it covers a highly specific area of knowledge or an obscure piece of trivia.
Series (Main article)	N/A	Lasting impact decades after it was initially released e.g. Gundam.	Achieved wide commercial success or critically acclaimed outside of Japan e.g. Sailor Moon.	Other.
Video games (Main article)	N/A	N/A	N/A	All video games.
Lists of episodes, characters and other media	N/A	N/A	N/A	All lists.
Characters	N/A	Characters that have become cultural icons outside of the series e.g. Char Aznable.	Well known characters e.g. Belldandy.	Other.
Episodes and movies	N/A	Individually significant episodes e.g. Dennō Senshi Porygon.	N/A	Other.
Individuals	Individuals with an essential historical influence on the medium (e.g. Osamu Tezuka, Hayao Miyazaki)	Individuals with a career of highly influential works, or historically significant accomplishments (e.g. Ryoichi Ikegami, Leiji Matsumoto)	Individuals with a career of internationally successful or critically acclaimed works (e.g. Ken Akamatsu, Rumiko Takahashi)	Other notable individuals (e.g. Tite Kubo, Hiroyuki Imaishi)
Companies, organisations, websites	Highly influential companies, particularly the major Japanese companies involved in manga and/or anime production, e.g. Bones, Sunrise, Shueisha, Shogakukan.	Top licensors and distributors of manga/anime in English language countries, e.g. Viz Media, Tokyopop, A.D. Vision	Most other well-known licensors in the industry, e.g. Seven Seas Entertainment, CMX, Central Park Media, Go! Comi.	Other, including websites, e.g. Anime News Network.
Other	Core topics e.g. anime, manga.	Sub-articles of core topics e.g. History of anime, History of manga.	Large conventions e.g. Anime Expo.	All other (unless discussed here).

[edit] Assessment guidelines

The following are guidelines for series articles.

• Stub class — Little structure, severely lacking content. The article may include flaws such as embedded lists without descriptions or lack an infobox.
• Start class — Some structure, basic overview of the topic present.
• C class — Decent structure, lacking some information (typically out of universe info).
• B class — Coherent structure, proper lead, fair amount of information for each section.
• GA class — Covers everything well; must be nominated at WP:GAN and passed by an impartial reviewer in order to qualify. Before nominating, the page should include inline sourcing for controversial statements, contain critical reception information, and have no image copyright issues.
• FA class — Passes WP:FAC. See also FA advice and the Featured article criteria.

The following are guidelines for episode and chapter lists. Lists are normally assessed using the same scale as other articles; however, they progress towards featured list rather than featured article status, and are not assessed as either good articles or A-class.

• List class — Transcludes sublists, volume lists which have been split into sublists, or lists which have no potential as articles (such as stand-alone lists and lists which act as navigational aids; this includes, amongst other, lists of series licensed by a publisher). Articles assessed as list class jump straight to featured list status after passing WP:FLC, instead of progressing along the regular assessment scale.
• Stub class — Little structure; severely lacking content, such as chapter names, release dates, or plot summaries. Does not use the appropriate formatting templates ({{Japanese episode list}} for episode lists, or {{Graphic novel list}} for chapter lists) but a simple table, bullet list, numbered list or no formatting at all.
• Start class — Some structure, basic overview of the topic present; uses the correct formatting templates, but severely lacks content. Basic lead is present.
• C class — Decent structure; lacks Japanese chapter titles, release information, or references.
• B class — Coherent structure, proper lead, well-referenced with no missing information.
• FL class — Passes WP:FLC. See also the Featured list criteria.

• Shochiku - Japanese film studio that has released several notable anime films. I originally assessed this as Mid-importance, however, I do think it could be assessed to at least High-importance. However, per past discussion on this talk page, a discussion is required before it can be ranked higher importance rating above Mid. Please leave open for 7 days to allow for comments. —Farix (t | c) 02:19, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
  • No change do to lack of input. —Farix (t | c) 04:41, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

• Samurai Harem: Asu no Yoichi - B-class? Extremepro (talk) 23:41, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Still C-class. The character section should be condensed to about 1-3 decent-sized paragraphs or only not in list format the most central characters to understanding the plot, ie the main characters, usually the principle protagonist or lead character(s) and primary antagonist, if any. For Samurai Harem that is clearly not every member of the household. Of those members, the narration will focus on some more than others.陣内_Jinnai 04:50, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
    • Cut out the secondary characters. Extremepro (talk) 08:45, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
      • How about splitting the original characters to a List of Samurai Harem: Asu no Yoichi characters so that the main article would be much smaller as it is now and keeping the characters on a separate page? Extremepro (talk) 21:10, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

• Yui Ikari - Importance rating was changed by the Brazilian IP vandal. Vandalism was reverted, but the article rating does need to double check. —Farix (t | c) 04:40, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Done. Funny, I was the one who last assessed this. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 12:33, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

• Asuka Langley Soryu - Importance rating was changed by the Brazilian IP vandal. Vandalism was reverted, but the article rating does need to double check. —Farix (t | c) 04:40, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Done. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 12:38, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

• Shinji Ikari - Importance rating was changed by the Brazilian IP vandal. Vandalism was reverted, but the article rating does need to double check. —Farix (t | c) 04:40, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Reassessed with some notes on the talkpage. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 12:49, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

• Rei Ayanami - Importance rating was changed by the Brazilian IP vandal. Vandalism was reverted, but the article rating does need to double check. —Farix (t | c) 04:40, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Done, no change needed. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 12:56, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the review. While some of the changes made by the Brazilian IP seemed fine, others were not. However, given the long history of Brazilian IPs engaging in importance rating vandalism, I thought it best to revert and ask for a second opinion. —Farix (t | c) 13:42, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
      • It's arguable she should be mid-importance given the notability level of Eva and her notability within it is probably more well-recognized world-wide than almost any other character even beyond the anime/manga fandom community.陣内_Jinnai 20:54, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

• List of Sekirei episodes - Updated with new information. Ominae (talk) 22:03, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Done: The episodes' summaries as well as the lead are still a bit short, but other than that, very close to B-class. G.A.S^talk 05:05, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
• Mewtwo - Achieved A-class for the video game project, got an editor insisting I run it through this project for A-class in it as well.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 18:41, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
  • I remember from previous discussions that WP:ANIME has abandoned the A-class ratings. But also, I don't think two editors is sufficient to promote an article to an A-class as the A-class rating is suppose to be based on a project peer-review similar to FA. —Farix (t | c) 18:53, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
    • The video game project has always relied on two reviewers, with a peer review by each favorable but not required. If you want to run it through a peer review process be my guest, but that seems rather pointless unless pursuing FAC doesn't it (which I don't intend to at this time).--Kung Fu Man (talk) 19:08, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
      • That may be the way the video game project handles A-class assessments, however, that doesn't apply to all WikiProjects. The video game project A-class assessment is the video games project alone and doesn't affect the assessment of other WikiProjects. Especially for WP:ANIME which doesn't use the A-class assessment. —Farix (t | c) 19:16, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
        • The template uses it, there's a category for it, and it's right up there at top of the large assessment quality table. If you're certain the project doesn't have A-class assessments, you should probably just remove it entirely from those items.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 19:22, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
          • The project tag use to not have the rating in it, but I believe it was readded complements of the folks over at Template:WPBannerMeta trying to force a conversion of our WikiProject banner. But here is the most recent discussion about the A-class assessment. The category is an artifact of when the project use to have the A-class assessment, but an administrator has never bothered to delete it. —Farix (t | c) 19:31, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
            • Alright, not a problem. Guess this is withdrawn if there's no reason to continue it.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:42, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

• Tachikoma - Fixed up the general ANN credits (have them removed) with others in the meantime. Funny, I probably will work on this and Saito in the figure. Motoko's simply too much. Ominae (talk) 00:22, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

  Reassessed at C-class --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 00:00, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
