General info (edit · changes)

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

Contents

[edit] Frequently asked questions

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

[edit] Instructions

[edit] Quality assessments

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Canada}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Canada|class=???}}

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article:

FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class Canada-related articles) Featured article FA 
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Canada-related articles) A-Class article A 
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Canada-related articles) Good article GA 
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Canada-related articles) B-Class article B 
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Canada-related articles) C-Class article C 
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Canada-related articles) Start-Class article Start 
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Canada-related articles) Stub-Class article Stub 
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Canada-related articles) Featured list FL 
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Canada-related articles) List-Class article List 

For pages that are not articles, the following values can also be used for the class parameter:

Book (for Wikipedia books; adds pages to Category:Book-Class Canada-related articles) Wikipedia Book Book 
Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class Canada-related articles) Category page Category 
Template (for templates; adds pages to Category:Template-Class Canada-related articles) Template page Template 
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Canada-related articles) Non-article page NA 
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Canada-related articles) Unrated ??? 

The class parameter should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

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:Canada 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.

[edit] Importance assessment

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Canada}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Canada| ... | importance=??? | ...}}
Top
High
Mid
Low
???

The following values may be used for importance assessments:

[edit] Importance scale

Label Criteria Reader's experience Editor's experience Example
Top The article is one of the core topics about Canada. Generally, this is limited to those articles that are listed on {{Canada topics}} A reader who is not involved in Canada 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. Government of Canada, Culture of Canada, British Columbia
High The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding specific topics about Canada or general topics about parts of Canada Most readers will have some knowledge of the subject Articles at this level cover particular issues related to Canada, specific terms are used to detail the topic Prime Minister of Canada, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Toronto, History of Manitoba
Mid The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in Canada. 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 Canada. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text. Minister of Transport (Canada), Rick Mercer, Jasper National Park
Low The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Canada, but may cover topics directly related to Canada. Few readers outside of Canada or that are not within the local area of the article's topic 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 Canada, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed. Todd Russell, Canada's grand railway hotels, Villages of Alberta, OpenBSD

[edit] Requesting an assessment

If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below.

  1. Milan Parab- New to the project, a stub about the local writer and VP of WANLC43S4R (talk) 16:39, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
  2. Bexley Township, Ontario took from "Bexley was a township in the former Victoria County, now the city of Kawartha Lakes" to mimicking the content of most US county pages, with history, geology, and demographics, and most importantly, references! I will copy the given rating to the other townships as I update them equally. ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 19:04, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
  3. WestJet - Reformatting of refs, reorganizing sections, making additions and a little bit of rewriting. I'd like to know how it's doing, so far. CFV2 (talk) 03:35, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
  4. Peterborough, Ontario - Expansion, reorganization and addition of references. Matt Astell (talk) 18:56, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
  5. Kirkland Island - Expansion, additional section. (Would love to get some geological information in there....Proscriptus (talk) 16:53, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
  6. Beloeil, Quebec - Major expansion (from a 782 characters stub to a 18 273 characters article).--Guillaume Hébert-Jodoin (talk) 06:04, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
    Yes check.svgY Done. Rated a B class. Very nicely done! You should seek a WP:GA evaluation and submit a WP:DYK nomination. DoubleBlue (talk) 04:59, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
  7. Coquitlam - A significant amount of information has been added, and the article now has over 85 references. Greg Salter (talk) 17:21, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
  8. Joseph Armand Bombardier - Has never been rated.--gordonrox24 (talk) 00:51, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
  9. Prince of Wales Mini School I have rewritten several sections of it, and corrected mistakes in others. Aremith tlk | eml 03:38, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
  10. Leonard W. Murray - Canadian military history article never rated for quality or importance - would very much appreciate an assessment and, if B, advice on how it could be improved to GA. Many thanks. Friendofleonard (talk) 02:58, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
  11. Coat of arms of Montreal - When you have the time, please assess my revision and expansion of the Montreal arms. [tk] XANDERLIPTAK 15:30, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
  12. E. (Mrs.) v. Eve - Expanded article substantially, with citations from original Supreme Court files. Possible listing in DYK in next few days. As such, I think it can be upgraded out of stub class, and would be really happy if someone could take a look. Thank you! Jhfortier (talk) 00:18, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Use of {{WikiProject Canada}}

The template {{WikiProject Canada}} can be used with many subprojects to add an article to both that project and this one at the same time. Eventually, the use of those projects' original assessment templates should be phased out. For template that already use as assessment, the change should take place in such a way that we do not lose the assessment, but many importance ratings may need te be re-evaluated. Subprojects of WPCANADA and their templates that need to be changed are:
