Wikipedia:WikiProject Turkey/Assessment

How can I get my article rated?

As a member of the WikiProject Turkey, you can do it yourself. If you're unsure, list it in the section for assessment requests below.

Who can assess articles?

Any member of the WikiProject Turkey 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.

Where can I get more comments about my article?

Contact (to be determined) who will handle it or assign the issue to someone.

What if I don't agree with a rating?

Relist it as a request or contact (to be determined) 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 (to be determined) directly.

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WPTR}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:

The following values may be used for the importance parameter:

• Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Turkey articles)
• High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Turkey articles)
• Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Turkey articles)
• Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Turkey articles)

The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below.

For the quality scale please use the Category:Turkey articles by quality page.

For the Importance scale use the Category:Turkey articles by importance

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 military history. 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.

• The importance scale for the towns, provinces are determined by: High Importance: Capital and population higher than a million.
• The importance scale for the biographies are determined by:
• The importance scale for the current events are determined by:

It is vital that people not take these assessments personally. It is understood that we all have different priorities and different opinions about what makes a perfect article. It is proposed that coordinator who performs a complete assessment on each page on that list every three months. If you contribute a lot of content to an article you may request an independent assessment.

For new articles please add this template

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. If you are interested in more extensive comments on an article, please use the peer review department instead. If you are adding articles below, please consider rating another article and remove it from the list after rating.
