Welcome to the assessment page of the Linkin Park WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Linkin Park 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 Linkin Park}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Linkin Park articles by quality and Category:Linkin Park articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
Frequently asked questions
- 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 Linkin Park 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.
Instructions
Quality assessments
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Linkin Park}} 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):
| FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class Linkin Park articles) |  FA |
|
| GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Linkin Park articles) |  GA |
|
| B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Linkin Park articles) | B | |
| C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Linkin Park articles) | C | |
| Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Linkin Park articles) | Start | |
| Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Linkin Park articles) | Stub | |
| FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Linkin Park articles) | FL |
|
| List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Linkin Park articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
| NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Linkin Park pages) | NA | |
| ??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Linkin Park articles) | ??? |
Quality scale
Importance assessment
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Linkin Park}} project banner on its talk page:
- {{WikiProject Linkin Park| ... | importance=??? | ...}}
| Top |
| High |
| Mid |
| Low |
| ??? |
The following values may be used for importance assessments:
- Top - The article is about one of the core topics of Linkin Park. Adds articles to Category:Top-importance Linkin Park articles
- High - The article is about the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of Linkin Park. Extremely well-performing songs and albums can be listed here. Adds articles to Category:High-importance Linkin Park articles
- Mid - The article is about a topic within the Linkin Park field that may or may not be commonly known outside the Linkin Park community. Adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Linkin Park articles
- Low - The article is about a topic that is highly specialized within the Linkin Park field and is not generally common knowledge outside the community. Adds articles to Category:Low-importance Linkin Park articles
- Unknown - Any article which has not yet been assessed on the importance scale is automatically added to the Category:Unknown-importance Linkin Park articles.
Importance scale
| Label | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editor's experience | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top | The article is one of the core topics about Linkin Park. Generally, this is limited to those articles that are included as sections of the main Linkin Park article. | A reader who is not involved in the Linkin Park field will have high familiarity with the subject matter and should be able to relate to the topic easily. | Articles in this importance range are written in mostly generic terms, leaving technical terms and descriptions for more specialized pages. | Linkin Park |
| High | The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding Linkin Park. | |||
| Mid | The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in the history of Linkin Park. | Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject. | Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand Linkin Park. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text. Most people involved in the history of Linkin Park will be rated in this level. | |
| Low | The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Linkin Park. | Few readers outside the Linkin Park field or that are not Linkin Park students may be familiar with the subject matter. It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article. | Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of the Linkin Park, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed. Topics included at this level include most infrastructure of Linkin Park. |
