The rating system allows the project to monitor the quality of articles in our subject areas, and to prioritize work on these articles. It is also utilized by the
Wikipedia 1.0 program to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content. Please note, however, that these ratings are primarily intended for the internal use of the project, and do not necessarily imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.
3. Someone put a {{WikiProject Donald Trump}} template on an article, but it doesn't seem to be within the project's scope. What should I do?
Because of the large number of articles we deal with, we occasionally make mistakes and add tags to articles that shouldn't have them. If you notice one, feel free to remove the tag, and optionally leave a note on the talk page of this department (or directly with the person who tagged the article).
4. Who can assess articles?
Any member of WikiProject Donald Trump is free to add—or change—the rating of an article. Editors who are not participants in this project are also welcome to assess articles, but should defer to consensus within the project in case of procedural disputes.
5. How do I rate an article?
Check the
quality scale and select the level that best matches the state of the article; then, follow the
instructions below to add the rating to the project banner on the article's talk page.
6. Can I request that someone else rate an article?
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.
8. Where can I get more comments about an article?
You can ask any member of the project to rate the article again.
10. Aren't the ratings subjective?
Yes, they are somewhat subjective, 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!
11. What if I have a question not listed here?
If your question concerns the article assessment process specifically, please refer to the discussion page for this department; for any other issues, you can go to the
main project discussion page.
Instructions
An article's assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Donald Trump}} project banner on its talk page:
{{WikiProject Donald Trump | class=??? | importance=??? }}
The following values for the class parameter may be used:
A (adds articles to
Category:A-Class Donald Trump articles; should only be used for articles that have made considerable progress upon the GA version, an article that is undergoing FA review would be A-class)
The quality "class" an article receives should follow Wikipedia's regular guidelines for quality found below.
Articles which have not been formerly evaluated, or which have failed a
good article review, should not be assigned a quality rating higher than B class. Above that an article needs to go through a formal review process.
