PS: Wondering if it would be a good idea to ping all members of WP:India as well - can any of the Bot operators please take this up?

Hi Noopur,

The five point rating for B Class has been developed by WikiProject Military History. See their template below for an article on a Indian Army soldier:

{{WPMILHIST
|class=Start
|Biography=yes
|South-Asian=yes
<!-- B-Class 5-criteria checklist
| B1 <!-- Referencing and citations --> = y/n
| B2 <!-- Coverage and accuracy --> = y/n
| B3 <!-- Structure --> = y/n
| B4 <!-- Grammar and style --> = y/n
| B5 <!-- Supporting materials --> = y/n
}}-->

This is quite good and can be used by you to assess articles on the talk page. However, this 5 point system is not part of WikiProject India template. So you can copy it into a new section on talk page of article, assess & date-stamp-sign your assessment.

Here is a detailed B-class assessment if you want to make a useful analysis & give hints to improvement. If not then just assess & leave the suggestions out (though this is not desireable and not the course recommended).

Warm regards,

I just have to use the 5 point rating thing below to assess right? 


2012/2/26 Ashwin Baindur <ashwin.baindur@gmail.com>
Its easy to classify if you follow this ready reckoner:

Stub - one sentance to one/two paras
Start - more than two paras
C - has lead & structure, must have infobox if applicable, must have image if available
B - developed a structure, has referencing, reasonably complete in content, checked for NPOV, No OR.

After this, one cannot self-assess.
GA - needs to undergo GAN process by any experienced user
A - Needs to Undergo A class review/peer review (usually after GA).
FA - Needs to undergo FAC from panel of experienced FAC examining editors

GA deals with major issues of MOS & 5 principles, A Class with content, sources, correctness, completeness. So A Class is done en route to FAC and after GA. You can do A Class directly after B Class & take it to FA without going through GA if you wish.

Hope this helps, Noopur


Warm regards,

The general criteria for assessment into a particular class can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IN1.0#Quality_scale

You don't need to stick to the letter in these criteria; you can just see the general quality of the article (whether it is well written, has enough of good sources, citation style, images etc) and decide.

So, can someone like me help assess articles to Start class or C or B? If yes, can someone (ahem...Ashwin :P ...) direct me where to start? I am willing to help with all culture related stuff. 


2012/2/26 Ashwin Baindur <ashwin.baindur@gmail.com>
A Class cannot exist without a formal peer review process. In the absence of participation, we cannot award this unless meaningful peer review takes place.

Stick to Stub, Start, C, B, GA, FA.

Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur

Slight n00b koschen here. Can non-admin editors just help with assessment? And how? I need a 101 on this.

Hi Pranav,

Should we try something like this ?

Hiya,

The number of unassessed articles on WikiProject India currently stands at more than 18,000! Im wondering if there is an active task force or even a single member of the project that is dealing with these assessments? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Unassessed-Class_India_articles_of_Unknown-importance)

A similar note has been left on the India noticeboard, as it seems no one has assessed articles for some time for there to be such a massive build up of backlog.

Kind Regards,
