Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Saskatchewan communities. We assess the quality and importance of Saskatchewan community, neighbourhood, rural municipality, Indian reserve and other related articles.

The aim of featured articles on WP SKCN is to have them featured on the WikiProject, than nominate them for featured on article status on the Wikipedia main page.

How to get an assessment

edit

Once you have either started an article or revamped or made some edits, put your request below and it will be reviewed by Wikipedia editors.


Articles are rated through template {{WikiProject Canada|community=yes|Saskatchewan=yes|class=|importance=}} on Saskatchewan community, neighbourhoods, and settlements related article talk pages.

Stay tuned for Saskatchewan communities and neighbourhoods to be added to the assessment banner.

Frequently asked questions

edit
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 Cities 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.

Requesting an assessment

Nomination procedure

Anyone can request peer review. The best way to get lots of reviews is to reply promptly and appreciatively on this page to any comments. If you post a request, please do not discourage reviewers by ignoring their efforts.

List your articles for peer review here and at Wikipedia:Peer review.

  1. List the article at the top of the listing which is begun:
    • Copy this for the syntax: # {{la|ArticleName}} ~~~~
    • Copy this for the edit summary: "Nominating [[ArticleName]]"

How to respond to a request

  • Review one of the articles below. If you think something is wrong—e.g., article length, the lead section, poor grammar/spelling, factual errors—post a comment in the article's section on this page. If you create a subsection within a review for your comments, please do not link your username: it is easily confused with an article title.
  • Feel free to correct the article yourself. Please consider noting your edits here to keep others informed about the article's progress.From WP highways PR
  • Peer reviews are meant to examine not just the prose, but the sources and images used in the article.
  • Feedback can range from brief comments after skimming through a page to a full blown dissection of grammar, structure, and references. Either way, every bit helps.
  • Reviewing another editor's article can help sharpen your writing skills, which in turn can improve the articles you write.From WP Video newsletter

How to remove a request
In accordance with the Peer review request removal policy, you may remove to the talk page any

  • inactive listings or listings older than one month,
  • inappropriate or abandoned listings (where the nominator has not replied to comments)
  • articles that have become featured article candidates
  • articles may be re-nominated if they have been removed from the list.

Quality Scale

Importance Scale

edit
Label Criteria Reader's experience Editor's experience Example
Top The article is one of the core topics about Canada. Generally, this is limited to those articles that are listed on {{Canada topics}} A reader who is not involved in Canada 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. Government of Canada, Culture of Canada, British Columbia
High The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding specific topics about Canada or general topics about parts of Canada Most readers will have some knowledge of the subject Articles at this level cover particular issues related to Canada, specific terms are used to detail the topic Prime Minister of Canada, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Toronto
Mid The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in Canada. 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 Canada. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text. Minister of Transport (Canada), Rick Mercer, Jasper National Park
Low The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Canada, but may cover topics directly related to Canada. Few readers outside of Canada or that are not within the local area of the article's topic 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 Canada, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed. Todd Russell, Canada's grand railway hotels, Villages of Alberta

There are a few other assessments used in the mainspace that are done by WikiProjects but do not fit into the scale. Some of these are not used by all WikiProjects. Of these, only List-Class is tracked by the bot. In no particular order:

Other

edit
Other WikiProject assessments [ ]
Label Criteria Reader's experience Editor's experience Example
List
{{List-Class}}
An article that meets the definition of a Stand-alone List. It should contain many wikilinks, with descriptions. There is no one way to make a list, but it should be logical and useful to the reader. Lists can be anything from a stub to a Featured List. List of aikidoka (as of June 2007)
Disambig
{{Disambig-Class}}
Any disambiguation page falls under this class. The page directs the reader to other pages of the same title. Additions should be made as new articles of that name are created. Aa River (as of June 2008)
Needed
{{Needed-Class}}
An article page that should exist, but does not. The page does not exist or is a redirect. An appropriate article should be created on the subject. Lake effect (as of April 2007)
NA
{{NA-Class}}
Any non-article page that does not fit into any other category. The page does not have article content. May or may not apply, depending on the type of page. Square knot (as of November 2006)

Some WikiProjects use additional grades not listed above, such as those used at WP:Comics. Most common are Cat, Dab (for Disambiguation), Future, Image, List, Needed, and Template. See relevant Assessment page for the WikiProject, at Category:WikiProject assessments.
