Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Assessment#Importance scale

; 1. How do I add an article to the WikiProject? : Just add {{tl|WikiProject Poland}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else. However, we would certainly appreciate if you could rate the article according to the guidelines below and leave a short summary of your rationale on the talk page. This is as easy as using {{WikiProject Poland|class=|importance=}} and filling the class and importance parameters with the keywords discussed below.

; 2. What is the purpose of the article ratings? : The rating system allows the project to monitor the quality of articles we are interested in and helps to prioritize work. Please note, however, that these ratings are meant for the internal use of the project, and do not imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.

; 3. How can I get an article rated? : For B-class assessments, post your request at Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Reviews and copy it to WT:POLAND; for others, just post to WT:POLAND.

; 4. Who can assess articles? : Any Wikipedian, who has familiarized themself with the guidelines below, is free to add—or change—the rating of an article.

; 5. 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.

; 6. What if I don't agree with a rating? : Post at WT:POLAND, and someone will take a look at it.

; 7. Aren't the ratings subjective? : Yes, they are subjective, especially concerning importance. However, it's the best system we've been able to devise. And it works pretty well for many different WikiProjects. If you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!

; 8. What if I have a question not listed here? : Ask questions on the talk page.

; 9. Why bother with assessment? : Assessed pages are fed to our automated tools such as article alerts and news, and generate useful stats such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages. They also tell us which articles need extra attention.

; 10. How do I do a B-class review? : To assess an article to B-class or above, we have a somewhat more standardized protocol. See :Category:Poland articles with an incomplete B-Class checklist for a list of articles to be assessed to B-class and B-Class criteria for what we are looking for. Then post a short commentary on article's talk page on whether it has passed or not, note it was a review for our project, and update the B-class checklist (which is quite easy, and the instructions are present in each assessment template - click show to the right of the "This article has not yet been checked against the criteria for B-Class status" line). It is quite easy, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3APolish_Autonomous_District&action=historysubmit&diff=424715084&oldid=372559483 an example].

; 11. How do I request a B-class review? : Post your request at Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Reviews and copy it to WT:POLAND

; 12. How do I do or request an A-class review? : Our project currently does not support a dedicated A-class review, so A-class rating is not given by our project, unless it is just to confirm that we agree with an A-class review done by another project (see A-Class criteria). We would like to start doing A-class reviews, but for that we need more activity and interest (if you'd like to see us do those reviews, post at WT:POLAND!).

We recognize that importance is a relative term. An article judged to be "Top-Class" in one context may be only "Mid-Class" in another. Any importance ratings applied by this project, only reflect the perceived importance to this project. The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather it should serve as a guideline for project participants to determine which article should receive more attention.

{{Importance scheme

|topic = Poland

|impn =

|Top_text = Definition: Subject is a must-have for a concise print encyclopedia or other reference work on Poland. High probability that non-Poles would look this up.

Practical tip: these subjects just pop into your head when you think about Poland and a specific field

|Top_example = Economy of Poland, Lech Wałęsa, Kraków

|High_text = Definition: Subject contributes a depth of knowledge to the encyclopedia. Is reasonably expected to be included into more comprehensive printed encyclopedia.

|High_example = History of Solidarity, Armia Krajowa, Katowice

|Mid_text = Definition: Subject is notable on a national level within Poland without necessarily being well-known internationally, including smaller towns; and any particular place or area closely related.

|Mid_example = Corpus Christi Basilica

|Low_text = Definition: Subject mostly of local interest; peripheral within its own field of study, not particularly notable or significant. It may cover specific part of a notable article also.

|Low_example = Osiedle Witosa

|NA = yes

|NA_text =

|NA_example = :Category:Poland

|Unknown = yes

|Unknown_text =

|Unknown_example=Portal:Poland/New article announcements
