Wikipedia:WikiProject Mariah Carey/Assessment
Welcome to the assessment department of the Mariah Carey WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Mariah Carey-related articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Mariah Carey}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Mariah Carey articles by quality and Category:Mariah Carey articles by importance.
If you want a Mariah Carey article to be reassessed. please list it in the section for assessment requests below. If

2023 content checkup
An issue with many of the older Carey articles is that aside from the two books by Chris Nickson and Marc Shapiro, they rely heavily on sources available freely online at the time they were written, i.e. early 2010s. Aside from content written since then, there is so much more content now available to editors via The Wikipedia Library, and so many articles don't currently incorporate the true range of literature. Also, many articles attribute the books to stuff that is not written in them. This is what the 2023 content checkup is for—to see what needs to be improved and what should be focused on.
