WikiProject Beer: Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of the Beer WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Beer 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 {{Beer}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Beer articles by quality and Category:Beer articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

1. Add {{WikiProject Beer|class=|importance=}} to the talkpage of a beer related article.
2. If the {{WikiProject Beer}} tag is already in place, click Edit and add |class=|importance= to the tag.
3. "Class" is the quality of the article, ranging from stub to Featured Article status.
4. "Importance" is how significant the article is to the beer topic, ranging from low to top.

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Beer}} 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 Beer articles)		FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Beer articles)		A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Beer articles)		GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Beer articles)		B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Beer articles)		C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Beer articles)		Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Beer articles)		Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Beer articles)		FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Beer articles)		List

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

After assessing an article's quality, any comments on the assessment can be added to the article's talk page.

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Beer}} project banner on its talk page:

The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):

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.

Hello, could somebody assess Athletic Brewing Company? I am new to editing Wikipedia and have been making some changes to this. Want to get eyes of somebody experienced before going further. MentholFlavoredOreo (talk) 03:01, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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 Beer 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.
