Wiki143:WikiProject Taxation/Assessment

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Taxation/Sidebar}} Welcome to the assessment department of the Taxation WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Taxation articles. The article ratings are used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. Articles are rated on a scale of quality and priority in relation to the goals of the Taxation WikiProject. The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the Template:Tl project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:WikiProject Taxation.

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 Taxation WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article up to B-Class. GA and FA should follow their defined assessment process. A-Class should receive 2 approval votes from Taxation WikiProject members.

What if I don't agree with a rating?

You can list it in the section for assessment requests below. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article.

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.

Instructions

An article's assessment is generated from the class and priority parameters in the Template:Tl project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Taxation
|class=
|importance=
}}

The following values may be used for the class parameter:

• FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class taxation articles)
• FL (adds articles to Category:FL-Class taxation articles
• A (adds articles to Category:A-Class taxation articles)
• GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class taxation articles)
• B (adds articles to Category:B-Class taxation articles)
• C (adds articles to Category:C-Class taxation articles)
• Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class taxation articles)
• Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class taxation articles)
• NA (for pages, such as templates or disambiguation pages, where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article taxation pages)

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed taxation articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

The following values may be used for the importance parameter:

• Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance taxation articles)
• High (adds articles to Category:High-importance taxation articles)
• Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance taxation articles)
• Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance taxation articles)

The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases. The importance should be assigned according to the priority scale below. Note that the priority is used on the workgroup lists only.

Priority scale

Priority must be regarded as a relative term. If priority values are applied within this project, these only reflect the perceived importance to this project. An article judged to be "Top-Class" in one context may be only "Mid-Class" 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).

Article priority grading scheme

Label	Criteria	Examples
class="import-top " style="text-align:center; color:inherit; background:Template:Importance/colour; " |Top	Very high probability that non-accountants would look this up. Limited to the most central tax concepts and the primary tax article for English speaking countries.	Income tax • Taxation in the United Kingdom
class="import-high " style="text-align:center; color:inherit; background:Template:Importance/colour; " |High	High probability that non-accountants would look this up. Important international tax concepts or a significant concept for a single country.	Retirement plan • Income taxes in the United States
class="import-mid " style="text-align:center; color:inherit; background:Template:Importance/colour; " | Mid	Medium probability that non-accountants would look this up. Important tax concepts in an individual country, significant tax legislation, or notable international concepts.	401(k) plan • Tax incidence
class="import-low " style="text-align:center; color:inherit; background:Template:Importance/colour; " | Low	Low probability that non-accountants would look this up. Subject is notable within an individual country, minor tax legislation, court cases, tax forms, biographies.	Rabbi trust • Murphy v. IRS
