Wiki143:WikiProject Canada/Assessment

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/Tab header}} 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 Template:Tlx 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.

The project has a slew of new articles that may need assessments and reviews for problems and perhaps expansion. Assessment requests may be directed to Canada's Wikiproject talk page.

Quality scale

WikiProject content quality grading scheme

Class	Criteria	Reader's experience	Editing suggestions	Example

Importance scale

Label	Criteria	Reader's experience	Editor's experience	Example
class="import-top " style="text-align:center; color:inherit; background:Template:Importance/colour; " |Top	The article is one of the core topics about Canada. Generally, this is limited to those articles that are listed on Template:Tl	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
class="import-high " style="text-align:center; color:inherit; background:Template:Importance/colour; " |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, History of Manitoba
class="import-mid " style="text-align:center; color:inherit; background:Template:Importance/colour; " | 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
class="import-low " style="text-align:center; color:inherit; background:Template:Importance/colour; " | 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
