However: '''PLEASE''' do not rate any new articles till the old comments are migrated over though, see above. Please pitch in and help. Instructions are here: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles/Article Classification/Migrating]] -->

==Article Assessment Department==

Welcome to [[WP:TB|WikiProject Spiders]]' Article Assessment Department.

==How to grade==

* Locate ungraded spider related articles which are within the scope of the project. Those we know about reside in [[:Category:Unassessed Spiders articles]] and [[:Category:Unassessed-importance Spiders articles]]

* Grade the article using the grading and importance scheme below.

*'''Once graded, the {{tl|WPSpiders}} template needs to be included (not subst'd) on the Talk page with the correct [[Template:WPSpiders#How to use this template|parameters]]'''. (most articles will have it already, but with no parameters).

* Edit the /comments subpage to add comments about why you rated the article the way you did. Please sign and date your comment with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> as usual.

* * If the article in serious need of some 'tender loving care', add it to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spiders#Adopt_an_article]]

* Add stubs to the "articles to expand" section of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spiders/To_do|To Do]] list, add cleanup candidates to that list too.

*If the article needs a photo, put a {{tl|Reqphoto}} template onto the article's talk page and add it to the "photos needed" list on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Spiders/To do|To do]] page<!-- maybe we could get our own Reqphoto template which would somehow add it automatically?? -->

''Place some examples of the template usage/grading procedure here.''

*For example, change <nowiki>{{WPSpiders}}</nowiki> to <nowiki>{{WPSpiders|B|Low}}</nowiki> if you think it's a low importance B class article... then explain why on the comments subpage which you can get to by clicking on the edit link in the WPSpiders box.

== Grading scheme ==

===Codes and meanings===

====Article progress grading scheme====

{| align=center class="wikitable"

!Status

!Template

!Meaning of Status

|-

|{{Needed-Class}}

|align="center"|'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Needed-Class|Needed-Class]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

|The article hasn't been started yet. You can help by creating it.

|-

|{{Merge-Class}}

|align="center"|'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Merge-Class|Merge-Class]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

|The article is a merge candidate, as it probably should not stand on its own. Remarks should clarify suggested merge target. If multiple articles are to be merged into one, or if the issue is complicated, it is advised to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spiders/Article_Classification#Merge_candidates|list it at the end of this article]].

|-

|{{Stub-Class}}

|align="center"|'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Stub-Class|Stub-Class]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

|The article is either a very short article or a stub that will need a lot of work to bring it to A-Class level.

|-

|{{Start-Class}}

|align="center"|'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Start-Class|Start-Class]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

|The article has a decent amount of content, but it is still very weak in certain areas (remarks should clarify where).

|-

|{{B-Class}}

|align="center"|'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:B-Class|B-Class]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

|The article is "almost there" but it may be missing one of the following: references, balance of content, NPOV or an important section. Alternatively, the English may need a comprehensive rewrite to make it flow.

|-

|{{A-Class}}

|align="center"|'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:A-Class|A-Class]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

|The article provides a well-written and complete description of the topic, as described in [[Wikipedia:How_to_write_a_great_article|How to write a Great Article]]. It includes a well-written introduction to the topic, and an appropriate series of headings to break up the article. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from the "hard" literature rather than websites. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems.

|-

|{{GA-Class}}

|align="center"|'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:GA-Class|GA-Class]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

|Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "[[WP:GOOD|Good Article]]" status, and meet the current criteria for Good Articles. Article should be at or around A-class to receive this tag.

|-

|{{FA-Class}}

|align="center"|'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:FA-Class|FA-Class]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

|Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "[[Wikipedia:Featured Articles|Featured article]]" status, and meet the current criteria for featured articles.

|}

<!--

'''Note:''' The idea for using templates to simplify the tagging the quality of articles came from [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Worklist]]. Thanks to the hard working users there for lots of great ideas about how to do classification!

'''Note:''' This is being moved to be in alignment with the [[Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team]] project.

|-

|{{Top-Class}}

|align="center"|'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Top-Class|Top-Class]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

|This article is of the utmost importance to this project, as it forms the basis of all information.

|-

|{{High-Class}}

|-

|{{Mid-Class}}

|align="center"|'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Mid-Class|Mid-Class]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

|This article is relatively important to this project, as it fills in some more specific knowledge of certain areas.

|-

|{{Low-Class}}

|align="center"|'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Low-Class|Low-Class]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

|This article is of little importance to this project, but it covers a highly specific area of knowledge or an obscure piece of trivia.

|-

<!--

'''Note:''' These templates are based on those mentioned at [[Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/WPArts#I have seen the future for WVWP, and it looks like this!]]. Also, the "importance" of an article is to be assessed for its importance ''within this WikiProject''. The Wikipedia 1.0 editorial team will then formularise importance of subject area and importance of article within that subject area to determine Wikipedia 1.0 importance. See also [[Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Release_Version_Criteria#Importance_of_topic]] for more on this rating system. (note, we previously had our own cell templates ([[/Top]], [[/High]], [[/Medium]] and [[/Low]]) and these should be sunsetted)
