Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome/Assessment

; 1. What is the purpose of the article ratings? : The rating system allows us to monitor the quality of articles in our area, and prioritise editor time for working on these articles. It is also used by the Wikipedia 1.0 program for static releases of Wikipedia content. These ratings are intended for internal use within the project, and do not necessarily constitute an official rating in any meaningful sense.

; 2. How do I add an article to the WikiProject? : Just add {{tl|Classical Greece and Rome}} to the top of the article's talk page.

; 3. Who can assess articles? : Any editor or member of the WikiProject, is free to add or change the rating of an article between stub, start, C and B classes. Editors do not need to be professional classicists nor members of this WikiProject to assess articles within this range of classes. However, quality assignments higher than B-class cannot be made outside of the formal review process; this is because the GA, A, and FA-class designations require significant attention to detail and consensus.

; 4. How do I rate an article? : Select from the quality scale, after reviewing in detail, the level that best matches the state of the article. Then follow the #Assessment instructions to convey the rating onto the article, through the article's talk page project banner. Remember that quality ratings above B-class cannot be made unilaterally.

; 5. Can I request that someone else rate an article? : Absolutely. Simply list it at #Requests for assessment below.

; 6. Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments? : Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we may be unable to leave a detailed rationale. 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. If you require written, detailed feedback on your article, you may like to consider using peer review.

; 7. What if I don't agree with a rating? : List it at #Requests for assessment and someone else will evaluate the article. Or, ask the original reviewer or any other member of the project to re-rate the article.

; 8. Aren't the ratings subjective? : Yes, they are somewhat subjective, 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 Talk page.

{{WPCGR/Overview of criteria}}

As do most WikiProjects, we assess our articles for Quality and Importance. Quality designations are made according to a set of generally-accepted criteria, which are summarised below. Lower quality designations are conferred by individual project members. Higher quality designations are conferred once the article has passed a peer review by a group of Classics editors (for {{icon|A}}A-class status) or the relevant Wikipedia-wide assessment systems (for {{icon|GA}}GA-class or {{icon|FA}}FA-class status).

Requests for assessment of an article into B-class or any lower rank may be made at #Requests for assessment. You should not assess an article you have made substantial contributions to, because – self-evidently – it is less likely you will be able to fairly and accurately judge your own work.

It is vital that people do not take these assessments personally. We each have our own opinions of the priorities of the objective criteria for a perfect article. Different projects may use their own variation of the criteria more tuned for the subject area.

{{WPCGR/Importance criteria}}

Assessments of importance do not, and should not, reflect the importance of the subject within academia or classical studies, but rather its importance to an average reader with no background in the subject.

• Historiography of the Christianization of the Roman Empire has been extensively revised by multiple editors. It now combines the articles that preceded it into a single overall discussion of the topic. Its importance should be reassessed imo. Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:08, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

::{{replyto|Jenhawk777}} The article is already B class. Are you asking for this WikiProject's A-class review or will you be submitting this to WP:GA? Chris Troutman (talk) 20:35, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

::: Chris Troutman It is the importance level rating that I was asking about. I would like to take it GA but am a little afraid. On the talk page, it says it is of mid-importance to classical Greece and Rome. The second paragraph of the article quotes Adam Schor saying that the question covered in this article has, "more than any other, shadowed the study of late Roman history". I think that would make it more than mid-importance. Just my opinion of course, but I thought it appropriate to ask someone in the field.Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:47, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

As described above, A-Class status is conferred on an article by recommendation of at least two reviewers. Reviewers are usually members of the WikiProject. Any editor may propose an article for A-Class review, which is conducted on the project talk page, WT:CGR. Recommendations for promotion must exceed recommendations against promotion by a margin of at least 2:1; unanimous recommendations are preferred. Reviewers must read the article in its entirety, scrutinise its contents carefully and in detail, and thoughtfully compare the article to the A-Class assessment criteria. Reviewers are expected to post their assessment, with complete comments and an explanation, onto the review page; they are also expected to afford the nominator an appropriate period of time in which to address rectifiable concerns. Reviews will be closed by an uninvolved project member after a suitable period of time; in the case of successful nominations, A-Class status will be conferred onto the article at this time.

A-Class reviews are conducted using {{tl|WPCGR A-Class review}}. To start a new A-Class review with the template automatically filled in, click the button below:

The following task queues are backlogged and require the attention of experienced, knowledgeable Wikipedians. Tasks in the queue do not need to be cleared by a project member or somebody with knowledge in Classics, though help is readily available to Wikipedians with expertise that does not extend to Ancient Greece and Rome who require it.
