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

[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 Algeria 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] Quality assessments

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

{{WikiProject Algeria| ... | class=??? | ...}}

Start

Stub

???

Needed

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

FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Algeria articles)
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Algeria articles)
GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Algeria articles)
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Algeria articles)
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Algeria articles)
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Algeria articles)
Needed (for articles that do not yet exist but have been identified as subjects that should be covered; adds articles to Category:Needed-Class Algeria articles)

Template

Dab

Cat

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

Template (for templates; adds pages to Category:Template-Class Algeria articles)
Dab or Disambig (for disambiguation pages; add pages to Category:Disambig-Class Algeria articles)
Cat or Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class Algeria articles)
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article Algeria pages)

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed-Class Algeria articles. The class 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:Algeria 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] Quality scale

**Article progress grading scheme** **[ v • d • e ]**
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.	Supernova (as of February 2007)
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.	Durian (as of March 2007)
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 (as of February 2007)
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.	Munich air disaster (as of May 2006) has a lot of helpful material but contains too many lists, and needs more prose content & references.
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.	Real analysis (as of November 2006)
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.	Coffee table book (as of July 2005)

[edit] Importance assessment

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

{{WikiProject Algeria| ... | importance=??? | ...}}

Top

High

Mid

Low

???

The following values may be used for importance assessments:

Top - adds articles to Category:Top-importance Algeria articles
High - adds articles to Category:High-importance Algeria articles
Mid - adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Algeria articles
Low - adds articles to Category:Low-importance Algeria articles
Unknown - adds articles to Category:Unknown-importance Algeria articles

[edit] Importance scale

Label	Criteria	Examples
Top	Core topics about Algeria. Generally, these topics are sub-articles of the main Algeria article, vital for the understanding of Algeria or extremely notable to people outside of Algeria. This category should stay limited to approximately 100 members. Biographies should be limited to the top one or two Algeria in a particular field or persons of the greatest historical importance
High	Topics that are very notable within Algeria, and well-known outside of it, and can be reasonably expected to be included in any print encyclopedia. This includes cities with a population of more than 100,000
Mid	Topics that are reasonably notable on a national level within Algeria without necessarily being famous or very notable internationally, including smaller towns
Low	Topics of mostly local interest or those that are only included for complete coverage or as examples of a higher-level topic; peripheral or trivial topics or topics that have only a limited connection to Algeria
