{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Ireland articles by quality statistics}}

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

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 Ireland 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!

; Where do I find a list of new Irish related articles? : A new Ireland Search Results list is produced almost daily and older results (since September 2007) are archived here.

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.

{{Grading scheme}}

= Importance assessment =

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

; {{WikiProject Ireland| ... | importance=??? | ...}}

border="0" align="right"
width=40px {{Top-importance}}
{{High-importance}}
{{Mid-importance}}
{{Low-importance}}
style="color:black; text-align:center; background:#FAEBD7;" | ???

The following values may be used for importance assessments:

== Importance scale ==

The assessment team have developed some criteria specific to Irish articles as guidelines for deciding the importance of articles being assessed. Different criteria tables have been created for different topic groups as shown below.

Must have had a large impact outside of their main discipline, across several generations, and in the majority of the world. For instance, Joyce, affected people in many other countries besides Ireland and for several generations. Members should not give this rating to any biography without first getting Project approval from the other members.

Archived requests

  • Wren Day - I expanded the article significantly in the past month and around the same time last year. It was last properly assessed at Start-class in 2008. – Asarlaí (talk) 09:53, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
  • :{{u|Asarlaí}} I've moved it up to a C-class but not really sure it warrants a B quite yet, unless someone else has more knowledge of the topic. Thanks for working on this. ww2censor (talk) 17:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

To-do / plans

Now that all articles identified as relevant have been assessed, suggestions for the next works are welcome. I suggest, for example:

  • Resolve NA articles with ratings, they should either be stripped out of the project or set to NA / NA status (this group primarily consists of redirects).
  • Revisit the question of tabulating Redirect items distinctly, as raised on the Talk page before.
  • Review the selection in the Top prio group. I imagine that around 1% of the substantive article base is a good level, and up to 2% would be OK. Right now I see only 1-2 I would not be sure about having in this level, but there may be some more in High which should be considered. We could then also review High. Below that I would not go, leaving Mid and Low to be assigned or reassessed "on the go". SeoR (talk) 10:17, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
