Welcome to WikiProject on Sheffield Wednesday's assessment page. This page focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Sheffield Wednesday related articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work, and are also expected to play a role in the WP:1.0 programme.

The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Football|SheffWed=yes}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Sheffield Wednesday articles by quality and Category:Sheffield Wednesday articles by importance, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

See also the general assessment FAQ.
1. What is the purpose of the article ratings?
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.
2. How do I add an article to the WikiProject?
Just add {{WikiProject Football|SheffWed=yes}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
3. Someone put a {{WikiProject Football|SheffWed=yes}} 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 the Sheffield Wednesday WikiProject 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?
Of course; to do so, please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
7. 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.
8. Where can I get more comments about an article?
People at Wikipedia:Peer Review can conduct a more thorough examination of articles; please submit it for review there, or ask for comments on the main project discussion page.
9. 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.
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

edit

An article's assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Football|SheffWed=yes}} project banner on its talk page (see the template page for more details on the exact syntax):

{{WPSWFC| class=??? | importance=??? }}

The following values for the class parameter may be used:

The following values for the importance parameter may be used:

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Sheffield Wednesday articles and articles for which a valid importance is not provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance Sheffield Wednesday articles. The class and importance should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

Quality scale

Importance scale

Articles are graded according to importance within Sheffield Wednesday according to the following scale:

Article importance grading scheme [ ]
Label Base criteria Sheffield Wednesday related criteria Examples
Top Subject is a
must-have for a good encyclopedia
Main articles related to Sheffield Wednesday

Players and managers who have made a highly significant contribution to the club
Sheffield Wednesday F.C.
Hillsborough Stadium
Kevin Pressman
Bob Brown
High Subject contributes a depth of knowledge Players who have made over 100 appearances for the club
Players who have scored over 40 goals for the club
Managers who have been in charge of the club for over 100 games
Chris Bart-Williams
Neil Dewar
David Pleat
Mid Subject fills in more minor details Players who have made over 50 appearances for the club
Players who have scored over 20 goals for the club
Managers who have been in charge of the club on a permanent basis
Shefki Kuqi
Carl Shutt
Terry Yorath
Low Subject is mainly of specialist interest Any other player
Any other manager
Any other Sheffield Wednesday related articles
Pavel Srníček
Sean McAuley
Adelphi Hotel (Sheffield)

The above is just a guideline and is not intended as a definitive structure:

  • For example Danny Wilson has played for Sheffield Wednesday 98 times as well as managing the club for 80 games. Under the guidelines he would be placed in the Mid importance band as a player and as a manager, however as he has done both for a combined total of 178 games he should be placed in the High importance band.
  • Similarly, if a player or manager has earned additional notability whilst at the club, then he should also be placed in a higher band than prescribed above. For example, Peter Fox played just 49 games for Sheffield Wednesday, placing him in the Low importance band, but his record as the youngest player to ever play for the club earns him a Mid importance tag.
  • Some articles will not neatly fit in to the Sheffield Wednesday specific criteria – in this case you should use your own judgement and apply the base criteria, bearing in mind that we are grading the importance within Sheffield Wednesday.
