beged-kefet rating?

The article on the Hebrew concept of Begadkefat seems to fulfil everything required of a B-Class article, except that it's quite short. It seems to be comprehensive within the topic, but I'm not sure if I can put it as B-Class yet. Thoughts? Robynfeather (talk) 17:35, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

That article needs more references in my opinion Protegmatic (talk) 13:00, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Reclassifying an article?

I wrote the article Great Fires of 1871 and it was originally rated as start class, I have now fixed all the Citation needed and Better source needed requests, can it get a better rating because of this? Bradinator33 (talk) 13:17, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Sure. Normally you make a request to one of the relevant projects. In the case of WikiProject Military history this is Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Requests. I have re-rated the article as B class. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:22, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

A short article may be appropriate

I get the impression that, in practice, this rating system is biased towards simply measuring the length of an article and making an assessment based on that. Some subjects can be dealt with quite concisely – which is surely what we are trying to achieve with an encyclopaedia article. Quite simply, there may be nothing more that really needs to be added, but we have a complete article that is assessed as "C" or "stub" because it is not very long.

Articles that appear to me to have been mis-rated based on their length include Alfred Holt, Ariel (clipper), Far Eastern Freight Conference, Windermere Jetty: Museum of Boats, Steam and Stories, etc. ThoughtIdRetired _TIR 19:30, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

This is a good point and thanks for bringing it up. While the official guidelines do not contain any requirements on length, it is likely that some editors (and even some automated tools) may be using length as a metric to measure quality. Please feel free to update the assessment on any article that you think is mis-classified. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:39, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

I have noticed this as well, so I will second the thank you for bringing it up Monkeywire (talk) 20:55, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

List of non-English wikipedias that use same Quality Assessment system

What are the languages that use the same Wikipedia Content assessment system as English? There is no definitive list that I can find in the page here or online. Kingstonacuk (talk) 15:01, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
