Wikipedia:WikiProject Internet/Assessment

; 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 Internet 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!

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

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

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 the Internet.

Note that general notability need not believe 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.

{{Importance scheme

|topic = Internet

|impn =

|Top_text =

|Top_example = Internet

|High_text =

|High_example = Web application

|Mid_text =

|Mid_example = Netscape Navigator

|Low_text =

|Low_example = Internet topology

|NA = yes

|NA_text =

|NA_example = :Category:Internet

|Unknown = yes

|Unknown_text =

|Unknown_example= ???

}}

If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below. Please note that an importance rating may not be given in some cases if the reviewer is unfamiliar with the subject.

If you assess an article, please strike it off using Strike-through text so that other editors will not waste time going there too. Thanks!

• Amazon Silk Hasn't been assessed for either importance or quality and I think it should be assessed considering it's been assessed by WikiProject Computing. It also needs to be improved but no one has said anything in the talk page about what needs to be fixed (besides me) so I feel like getting an assessment will allow those who wish to make it better to be able to do so by being able to see what needs to be improved.
