Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball/Assessment

; How can I get my article rated? : As a member of the WikiProject Baseball, you can do it yourself. If you're unsure, list it in the requesting an assessment section below.

; Who can assess articles? : Any member of WikiProject Baseball is free to add—or change—the rating of an article, but please follow the guidelines.

; 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.

; Where can I get more comments about my article? : Contact Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball who will handle it or assign the issue to someone. You may also list it for a Peer review.

; What if I don't agree with a rating? : Relist it as a request or contact Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball who will handle it or assign the issue to someone.

; Aren't the ratings subjective? : Yes, they are (see, in particular, the disclaimers on the importance scale), 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, or to contact the Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball directly.

{{Assessment Importance Summary|banner=WikiProject Baseball|topic=Baseball}}

The criteria used for rating article importance 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). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to students of baseball. Importance does not equate to quality; a featured article could rate 'mid' on importance.

Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country or region in which they hold said notability. Thus, topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated. Rate international region/country-specific articles from the perspective of someone from that region.

{{Importance scheme

|topic = Baseball

|impn =

|Top_text = Subject is a "core" or "key" topic for Baseball, or is generally notable to people other than students of Baseball. They define and determine the subject of the Baseball WikiProject.

|Top_example = Baseball

|High_text = Subject is notable in a significant and important way within the field of Baseball, but not necessarily outside it.

|High_example = Sandy Koufax

|Mid_text = Subject contributes to the total subject of the Baseball WikiProject. Subject may not necessarily be famous.

|Mid_example = At bats per home run

|Low_text = Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within the field of Baseball, and may have been included primarily to achieve comprehensive coverage of another topic.

|Low_example = San Pedro de Macorís

|NA = yes

|NA_text =

|NA_example = :Category:Baseball

|Unknown = yes

|Unknown_text =

|Unknown_example= ???
